The root idea of the Consumers league is not the protection of con- sumers, but the regulation of condh tions under which production and dis tribution are carried on. By educating and directing public opinion the league hopes to effect cooperation and make the burdens of workers easier. One of the evils aimed at is late hours of shopping, which entail long hours upon the employees of retail establishments. CarclcsSnesS in giving addresses where goods are to be delivered. thus causing needless and vcNatious work for the employees. is another matter which the league will impress upon it's members. The national league includes fifty, eight organizations located in twenty one states.

 This sounds very like the Indian tales between the covers of the old- time dime novels. but the fact re- mains that Geronimo. chief of Apaches, long was able to outwit the best of United States soldiers. was able to find sustenance for his followers and their horses when beset on all sides by the enemy, was able to escape the swiftest pursuit.
 Capt. Lawton. on the supposition that Geronimo would make for his hunts in the mountains of old Mex ico. had begun operations for a cam paign in the Sierra Madres: but the willy Indians had fooled the soldiers. They had divided into small bands to swoop down in a series of raids on southwestern Arizona and northwest ern Sonora: so Lawton had to change his plan of attack and star, in pursuit of the raiding parties. He and the soldiers were led fine chase: in all they must have traversed a distance equal to two-thirds of the breadth of the continent.
 To Gen. Miles. who succeeded Gen. Crook in command of tho department of the Arizona. belongs much of the glory of the final capture. Miles for three years keeping up an untiring pursuit of the Indian that men had begun to regard as invincible. Miles policy provided that the pursuit should be taken up by q different commands or detachments. representing four rNg- iments. Every water hole in Arizona and New Mexico was guarded. the en- emy was forced from camp to camp.
 Geronimo. realizing his reign in Ari- zona was drawing to a close. sought in old Mexico escape from the soldiers. But the soldiers crossed the border, Iawton in the lead. making another effort to our-general Geronimo. Three hundred miles from the border the sol diers followed after the Indians: up steep mountain paths down deep can- yons. on and on until almost too weary to take farther step. But Lieut..

The iron trade is now on q ''boom.' SurpaSsing all previus records, says Banker ClewS. The production of pig iron is running at the rate of about 222,O0O,O0o tons Il year. all of which is going into rapid consumption. Eight months ago production was running at the rate of only 12,000000 tons per an mum. Our furnaces and steel mills are taxed to their fullest capacity. and the purchases of pig iron for the protection Of consumers are still going on upon all active scale. These enormous pnr, chases are largely for railroad pur. poses and public works. many of which were suspended a year or two ago. The certainty that iron will not go lower. and the abatement of labor trou. bles. coupled with the general. buSi, ness recovery of course. explain the phenomenal activity in iron. \ great deal of construction work had been held back in the hope of reduced costs

not easy for the fancy to picture Geronimo as a farmer.

not easy for the fancy to picture Geronimo as a farmer.
 When first captured he was sent to Fort Pickens,. Florida, and from there transferred to Mount Vernon, Ala bama. Later he was sent to Fort Sill, at which fort about 90 prisoners of war have been kept in kind of cap tivity. Geronimo has virtually been free here. and been paid the sum of $35 month as scout. Here Geron- imo has been accounted a model pris- oner. Only once in the ten years of his residence at Fort Sill has he tried to escape, and that was at the time of the excitement over the impending war with Spain: the excuse he gave for the attempt was that he desired to enlist as a scout and fight against the Spaniards. He did not succeed in getting away. and since has appeared docile enough. but somewhat proud and reserved.
 It was not so very long ago he was a frontier terror, name greatly feared by the people of western Texas. the territories of Arizona and New Mex ico. In 1882. Gen. George Crook. that veteran Indian fighter. had bearded Geronimo in his stronghold in the Sierras and by some means been able to get the leader and his band to sur render themselves as prisoners of war Crook. trying pacific measures for ruling the troublesome Indians, in some miraculous fashion got together all the Apaches in New Mexico and Arizona, save one tribe. at Camp Verde and Camp Apache. and set them io work digging irrigating ditches planting vegetables cutting hay and wood. At least it looked as though the Indian problem was being solved The transformation was marvellous Here were 5000 of the worst Indians in America sloughing off their old skin and taking on a new life. Detach. ments of the scouts were retained in service to maintain order. and also because money would in that way be distributed among the tribes. Some few at first spent their money foolish. ly. but the majority clubbed together and sent to California for ponies and sheep. Trials by juries of their owr people were introduced among them for the punishment of minor offenses the cutting of of women's noses was declared a crime. the manufacture oi the intoxicant tizwin was broken uI by every possible means. and ihe flu. ture of the Indians looked most prom. ising when a gang of politicians and contractors exerted an influence ir Washington and had the Apaches or. dered down to :he desoiate sand waste of the San Carlos. where the water is brackish. the soil poor-the old. old

 It is now 15 years Geronimo has been held by our government as pris- oner of war. and in that time the atti- tude of the public toward him has un- dergone a change; to-day he is a pathetic figure, whereas in the past he was regarded as very fiend of cruelty.
 Six years ago it was reported that the old warrior had become hopelessly insane, but the madness proved but temporary. A few years ago Gen. Frank Armstrong, of the regular army, who spent some time at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Investigating the matter of Geronimo's release. reported to Wash ington in favor oi admitting the old chief to citizenship. He was to re- ceive a quarter section of land near Fort Sill and be at liberty to dwell thereon in free proprietorship. It is

ured out that the average boy who is de-
pendent upon his parents for livelihood
until he reaches the age Of p years, costs
costs them $1,000. Upon this basis OF
calculation brood for instance, six boys,
will represent an outlay OF 81, 1000 by the
time they leave the roost. The question
naturally arises, does it pay to raise boys,
and are there no other crops that would
be more profitable! If a boy turns out to
be cigarette fend with a laugh that
would make the wild untutored donkey
feel perfectly at home in his society, and
with all untrammeled and unconquerabe
desire to avoid work, it is safe to say the
parents might have invested to better ad-
vantages. But if the boy grows up with
the lesson well learned that wealth and
success grows only on bushes by the
sweat OF the brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have spent on
him, for he will be source OF increasing
joy and pride to their heart when they
grow old and their hands tremble and
their legs wabble and their steps are slow
and faltering. They will then have two
strong arms to lean upon.

THE WAY OF AN INDIAN

Frederic Remington, the famous painter
Of the Indian, can write about the red
skin with just as great fidelity. This
November COsmop olitdn prints the first
instalment of 'The way of an INDIAN a
short serial, the work of his brush pen.
The pictures are magnificent, and the
text gives promise Of very powerful and
realistic story. The thoroughly virile
treatment of the theme is relief after
the great amount of weak sentiment that
has flowed from the tear-watered ink of
many friends of the red man. 1t is good
to see that at least one who knows the
Indians by heart should still find in them
some OF the masterful traits OF their noble
ancestors. Mr. Remington's hero, "White
Otter" is character that we venture to
predict will live in American literature.
