the boy and the Indian were looking at

flesh was slightly swollen. A terrible

"You saved me from a torture death.
In return have brought death on your

child in handling it has pricked his fin

This was what Major Henderson
read in the Ute's face. Then suddenly,
without word, the Indian seized the
boys finger and. placing it between his
lips, began to suck the wound. pulling
so hard that the child cried out.

His offer was refused. Indeed by this

savage had entered his system.

Ruler or Servant?

and his individual will is more relied
upon as the directing force than all
else, until there is growing up in the
minds of many the idea that he is as
much the ruler of America as En-
perOr William is of Germany. The
latter wears a siX-Shooter, and the
president asserts the same right, when
in point of fact he is as much amena-
bic to the law for the infraction of
the statute prohibiting it in any state
as the humblest. He is hedged by no
prerOgative of royalty, and yet he de-
fies the law and sets an example
which cannot but be deleterious. Yet,
strange to say, he is justified in this
smaller as in many larger mira ctiOns

fer to this aspect in no spirit of par
tisan detraction, but to impress upon
thinking people the necessity of keep

There are some well-seasoned, good
tempered sentences on government by
injunction in the address issued by
the American Federation of Labor.
The federation does not deny the ne
cessity of this equity writ in judicial
administration, but it decries its mod
ern exercise in unusual manners and
with eXtravagant frequency, and with
the result of having judges arrogate
the punishment without indictment,
or conformation by witnesses, or ac-
ton of jury of the persons peers.
There is a substantial grievance in
the misuse of the injunction writ, and
its recent exhibitions have tended to
make its evOking ridiculous. Senator
Hoar. chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee of the senate. recognized the
evil and tried to curb it. but his bill
was smothered because it would have
taken away a weapon which the

ed to surrender so long as they can
retain it and use it in their business.

DAILY SHORT STORY
The Wild West Savage.
IOrig1naI.l

IOrIg1naLl
When Major Henderson of the til
United States cavalry was a second
lieutenant serving on what was then
always referred to as 1.-The plains" he
one day came upon party or Arapa-
hoe Indians who were about TO burn
young Ute at the stake. Indeed the
flames were curling about the boys
legs, and he was beginning to feel the
agony of burning. Henderson, who
had sufficient troopers back of him to
warrant interference, dashed in, kicked
away the fagots, cut the thongs and set
the boy free. Then lie took the Indian
to camp, where a surgeon dressed his
wounds and after his recovery sent him
to his tribe.
When Henderson left the army he
gathered a number of Indian imple-
ments of various kinds, which he took
with him to his home. There were
blankets, feathers, moccasins, beads
pipes and few weapons, such as were
used before the red man got the rife.
including bows and arrows. These the
smoking room, a profusion of calumets
being especially appropriate.
The curiosities were of especial inter
est to the majors little boy, Russell,
who was never so contented as when
his father told him stories about them
stories usually invented by the IA
ther, for he knew but few incidents
connected with them. Nevertheless the
yarns delighted the boy, who had all
boys love for adventure, and when it
was announced on the billboards that
wild west show was coming to town
Russell Henderson was wild with ex-
pectatlon. His father promised to take
him out to see the procession of cow
boys, Indians and ''plains" people gen.
orally enter the city and afterward to
give him an opportunity to see the per-
foTmance.
When the show made its formal en-
trance the major was standing on the
sidewalk, his little boy holding his
hand, the youngsters eyes big as sau-
GERS and watching eagerly for the In
dams. At their passage there was an
element of surprise which neither IA
ther nor son had counted upon. An
Indian suddenly threw himself from
his horse, made a dash for the major
and. extending his hand, said excit-
eddy:
'HOw?"
Henderson stood looking blankly at
the brave, who explained in a few
words that he was the Ute whom the
major years before had snatched from
the burning. The Indian was so de-
| monstrative, SO delighted at meeting
the man to whom he owed his life, that
the major invited him when not en-
gagged in his duties to come to his
| house The invitation was accepted,
| and the Ute, who was not in good
health. remained after the show had
departed. Little Russell was at first
very much terrified at him, but when
his fright wore off depended upon him
for most of his amusement, the Indian
| telling him more wonderful stories
about the decorations of the smoking
room than the major had ever
dreamed.
Russell became much attached to the
| Indian, and the Indian, who worshiped
the major, seemed eager to give the
