transferred to Mount Vernon, Ala
bama. Later he was sent to Fort Sill
at which fort about 80 prisoners @
| war have been kept in a kind Of cap
tfvity. Geronimo has virtually beer
free here, and been paid the sum o
| $50 a month as a scout. Here Geron
imo has been accounted model pris
oner. Only once in the ten years o.
his residence at Fort Sill has he triee
| 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
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, a name greatly feared
by the people of western Texas, the
leo. 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 Apaehes in New Mexico and
Arizona, save one tribe, at Camp
Verde and Camp Apache, and set them
to work digging irrigating bitches,
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 sloaghing 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 dubbed together

WAREHOUSES; ON THE FARM.
The Most Sensible and Practical
Method of Holding a Cotton Crop
for Paying Prices,

The al1-absoehing cotton question
! mas called forth maay suggestions,
from many sources, some wise and
many otherwise. We southern plant
ers should entertain no plan save that
which is both thoroughly practical and
economical. We want to be saving and
i thrifty, SO that We can get able to hold
our own cotton until we are offered a
price that will give fair remuneration
for raising it. We should use every
legitimate means in our power, first.
[ that no one should have any claim up-
on it, and second, to lessen the ey-
pense OF commissions aad handling.
One practical suggestion has come to
US that will be of untold benefit to the
south if adopted. And it requires no
organization or unanimous consent of
all farmers to carry it out. 1t will be
OF practical benefit to each and every
individual farmer who is able to put
It into execution. It is this, let every
farmer who raises as much as fifty
bales of cotton, erect a rock or brick
warehouse on his own farm. store his
cotton at home and pay nothing but
his own insurance. This warehouse
can be built of rocks that should be re-
moved from the land, on most of the
southern farms. It should be a SUBJ
stant1ai and fire-proof building in ev-
cry way. Then they should get a low

TWENTY MAxIMs
Summing up the Results Of q Kindly
Philosophers Own Experiences
In the Life We Live

- AlS LtiC VIC Live
William James writes for the Ma
McClure's an appreciation Of the lat
Thomas Davidson, in which are en-
bodied the following twenty maxim
drawn by the philosopher from hi
own experience of life:
Rely upon your own energies an,
90 not wait for or depend on othe
people.
Cling with all your might to you
own highest ideals and do not be LEI
astray by such vulgar aims as wealth
position, popularity. Be yourself
Your worth consists in what you are
and not in what you have What you
are will show in what you do.
Never fret, repine or envy. Do not
make yourself unhappy by comparing
your circumstances with those Of
more fortunate people. but make the
most Of the opportunities you have.
Employ profitably every moment.
Associate with the noblest people
you can find, read the best books, live
with the mighty, but learn to be happy
alone.
Do not believe that all greatness and
heroism are in the past. Learn to dis
cover princes, prophets, heroes and
saints among the people about you Be
assured they are there.
Be on earth what good people hone
to be In heaven.
Cultivate ideal friendships and gath
en- into an intimate circle all your ac-
quaintances who are hungering for
truth and right. Remember that heav-
en- itself can be nothing but the init
macy OF pure and noble souls.
II the world despise you because you
40 not follow its ways pay no heed to
It. But be sure your way is right
Do not shrink from any useful or
kindly act, however hard or repellent
1t may be. The worth of acts is meas |
ured by the spirit in which they are
performed.
If a thousand plans fail be not dis
heartened. AS long as your purposes
are right you have not failed.
Examine yourself every night and
see whether you have progressed in
knowledge, sympathy and heIpfulness
during the day. Count every day a loss
IN which no progress has been made.
Seek employment in energy not in
dalliance. Our worth is measured
solely by what we do.
Let not your goodness be profes.
sional; let it be the simple, natural
outcome of your character. Therefore
cultivate character.
II you do wrong, say so, and make
what atonement you can. That is
true nobleness. Have no moral debts
When IN doubt how to act ask your
self: What does nobility command?
BE on good terms with yourself.
Look for no reward for goodness but
goodness itself. Remember heaven
and hell are utterly immoral institu.
tons If they are meant as reward and
punishment.
Give whatever countenance and help
you can to every movement and insti-
tuition that is working for good. Be
not sectarian.
Wear no placards, within or with.
out. Be human fully.
Never be satisfied until you have
understood the meaning of the world

half of the indictments charging the

FAvORS EUTHANASlA.
Member of Humane Society Would
Xiii on the IncurabIes.

Philadelphia, Oct. 12.-Niss Anne
Hall, of Cincinnati, has startled the
American Humane association con-
ventfon by proposing the adoption Of
a resolution favoring legalizing the
administration of anesthetics to per-
sons dying in agony. Miss Hall said
that there were often incidents in time
of railway wrecks when trainmen and
passengers were so badly injured that
their lives could not possibly be saved
In such cases Miss Hall thought 1t
ought to be permissible to administer
anesthetics to relieve their sufferings-
She also favored the use of anesthetics
when persons were dying of incurable
diseases in which they suffered agony.
In the discussion one woman said
that she would not hesitate to shoot
person who might be dying in agony
in a.wreck, but she did not think laws
should be passed comforting on any
one the right to determine when any
person should die by giving anes-
thetics.
The resolution was ruled out.
