years his name has been synonymous
with terror in the minds Of the white
people. To-day, enraged and humili-
ated, the raiments of his Office taken
from him and his very presence ig-
nored. he threatens vengeance swift
and terrible upon his arch enemy and
all those who have conspired to his
undoing
Geronimo in this mood Is indeed
foe to flee from-unless one would do
desperate battle. That is why there
is trouble brewing these days on the
Apache land in Oklahoma.
It all happened because Geronimo
listened to the fiattering invitation
rendered him by the off1cials OF the
Buffalo exposition.
He spent the summer there and was
a conspicuous feature of the great
show. His stay was thoroughly en-
joyabie, his life at the exposition
grounds one of continual comfort and
pleasure AS to the future he trou-
bled himself not at all.

Apache who had jealously longed for

wishes OF certain cattlemen who

charge Geronimo. always proud. al

reply. He considered it beneath his
dignity to do, and maintained stiff
necked silence.
Then came the overtures OF the Buff
falo exposition people. The chief of
the Apaches packed his paraphernalia
and departed in all his picturesque,
barbaric glory for the haunts OF civ
ilization and its brilliant center. the
Pan-American at Buffalo. He did not
think seriously enough Of the attitude
of Macenhorses to provide himself any
means of defense. He fiattered him

Independent Jnrymen.

A Jury in Prince Edward Island
seems to be pretty independent body,
according to a story published recently
in one of the local papers. The incl
dent occurred during the trial OF case
for the assessment of damages, which
was up before the high sherif OF tho
county. The case was originally very
simple. but owing to the peculiar tao
tics employed on both sides was soon
transformed into an exceedingly COM
plicated and mystifying problem. Aft
er listening for many weary hours to
the haranguing of counsel and the ex-
animation of witnesses. one old jury
man finally got up in disgust and left
the room, with the spirited exclama-
tion. ITO - with it," and all the
others followed him out. The court. 1t
is said, thereupon decided that, since
the jury had disagreed. no damages

SHAH OF PERSIA is SUED.

French Clipping bureau Seeks to Ro-
cover for Press Notices.
A French justice of the peace is try
ing to make the long hands of the law
reach no less person that Muzaffar
ed Din, Shah of Persia. Stamped
paper containing summons is to be
sent from Paris to the shah of Teher-
an calling on him to pay little bill
which he left unsettled while he was
staying at Contrexeville in the sum-
mer of 1900. During his sojourn in
France the ruler of Persia made an
arrangement with a newscutting agen-
cy which contracted to supply his
majesty with all the articles and pho
tographs referring to himself while he
was in this country. The cuttings
were in due course carefully forwarded
to the shah, and at the end OF last
year the supplying agency sent in
bill for G4s0.
The amount was considered exorbi-
tant at the Persian legation. and a
sum of ESQ was offered. This the
newscutting agency fatty refused to
accept, and then ensued long cor
respondence on the subject. Seeing
that this led to no practical results.
the agency took out a "conciliatory
summons" against the shah. AS the
document will not reach Teheran for
a long time to come. the case Is to be
heard before the justice of the peace
of the Rue Drouot in April. 1902. The
shah is formally called upon to ap-
pear before the justice in order to
come to satisfactory arrangement

The Portage Golf Club OF Akron, o.,

home of John Brown of Harper's Fer

changes as possible when they fitted 1t

The Savannah (Ga) Golf Club util-
izes as bunkers on its course the re-
mains of the earthworks thrown up by
the confederates for the defense of the
city during the civil war. Instead OF
stopping shot. shell and bullets, they
now fulfil the more peaceful and en-
tertaining duty of catching badly
driven golf balls. Gen. Robert E. Lee
personally superintended the construc-
tion of these bunkers. little thinking

the devotees of the royal and ancient
