receive free and full salvation, how they
could pass from life to q happy death
and from death to another life in the
happy hunting grounds which God had
prepared for those who loved and fol-
lowed Him. The thief on the cross was
not forgotten in the Scriptural story.
This part Of the sermon seemed to APP
peal with peculiar force to Geronimo,
about whose withered face played wan
smile. ~ HI.
The New York Herald says that when
the sermon was done the doors Of the
little church were thrown open and
Geronimo and his IL companions passed
inside. They moved to the front and
there, through the medium of inter-
prefers, they professed their love for and
faith in the white mans God, They
wanted to walk the way of Jesus, -
they said, and atone for the deeds of the
past.
Then Geronimo and the others bowed
their heads in turn and were baptized
in the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost, amen" Thus the grim
old warrior who had terrorized the
southwest for years and dehed the
majesty Of the great fathers govern
ment became Methodist and set his
face serenely toward the fast setting
sun.
The story of Geronimo and his tribe
Of hostile Indians is not unfamiliar to
American readers. The tribe was for
years the terror of Arizona and New
Mexico, where they killed and burned
without mercy. Men, women and even
children were their victims, and, not sat
isded with ordinary murder, they often
mutilated those they slew.
Many attempts to capture the band
and bring it to Justice were made with
out success. Finally Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dan planned the pursuit, capture and
destruction of the band. The expedition
against the outlaws was led by the late
Gen. George Crook, who came into close
conflict with Geronimo March Is, 1886.
To the demand for an unconditional
surrender the Apache chief declared that
he would give himself up only on con-
dition that the band, with their families,
be sent east for period not exceeding
two years and that they be then returned
to the reservation. On the way the In
dams escaped. Gen. Crook was then
succeeded by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and
there followed the memorable pursuit
of Geronimo and final capture.
Gen. Miles and Maj. Gen. Lawton cor
nered Geronimo in the Four Peaks
basin, near Prescott, Ariz. After
months Of starvation and after all hope
Of cutting their way through the cor
don Of troops surrounding them had
gone, the Indians raised the white flag.
They were first sent to the military post
at Mount Vernon, Ala, but the climate
there did not agree with them. Many
of the band died from consumption.

INSPIRATION. IN WORRY,

"A mortgage on his house was due.
He didn't worry;
He lost a lot of money, too,
He didn't worry.
Twas his philosophy, you see
To always gay and cheerful be,
Others might fret and fume-not he.
He didn't worry.
The man he owed the money to,
He did worry,
To pull that heavy burden through
He did worry.
His children must be clothed and fed
He hustled for their daily bread;
In spite of all the wise ones said,
He did worry.
SO it IL, my cheerful friends,
Some must worry;
For your lack to make amends
Some must worry.
You decide with merry grin
That to worry is a sin,
But 1t often means to win;
Some must worry.

DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION

Mr.. Bryan does not like any of the
antitrust bills which the Republicans
have before Congress. This is just
what the Republicans supposed would
be the case. The Democrats will find
fault with any antitrust act which
the Republicans may place on the
statute book. Criticism and obstruc-
ton are easy.
This is the extent of Democratic
influence in Congress or in the country
at large. The constructive work of
the country will have to be done by
the Republicans. AS they have how
ever, been doing this sort of work
during nearly all the time for over
forty years past, they will be able to
meet the present emergency.
