that Gen. Miles was the chief OF the
treat with him.
81 sent my brother Perico (White
Horse) with Mr.. George Wrattan on
to Fort Bowie to see Gen. Miles and
to tell him that we wished to return
to Arizona; but before these messen-
gers returned met two Indian scouts
-Kayitah, a Chokonen Apache, and
Marteen, a Nedni Apache. They we're
serving as scouts for Capt. Lawton's
troops. They told me that Gen. Miles
had come and had sent them to ask
me to meet him. So l went to the
camp of the United States troops to
meet Gen. Miles.
Gen. Miles Promises.
when l arrived at their camp 1
went directly to Gen. Miles and told
him how / had been wronged and
wanted to return to the United States
with my people, as we wished to see
our families. who had been captured
and taken away from us. Gen. Miles
said to me: The president of the
United States has sent me to speak to
you. He has heard of your trouble
with the white men, and says that IL
you will agree to few words of treaty
we need have no more trouble. &C.
ronimo, If you will agree to few
words of treaty all will be satisfac-
torily arranged
Then he talked with me for long
time and told me what he would do
for me in the future If 1 would agree
to the treaty. did not hardly believe
Gen. Miles, but because the president
of the United States had sent me word
l agreed to make the treaty and to
keep it. Then asked Gen. Miles what
the treaty would be. Gen. Miles said
to me: L will take you under govern
ment protection. / will build you a
house. l will fence you much land.
l will give you cattle, horses, mules
and farming implements. You will be
furnished with men to work the farm,
for you yourself will not have to work.
In the fall / will send you blankets
and clothing, so that you will not suf-
fer from cold in the winter time.
"'There is plenty of timber, water
and grass in the land to which l will
send you. You will live with your
tribe and with your family. If you
agree to this treaty you shall see your
family within five days
Agreed to Make Treaty.
81 said to Gen. Miles: All the Off
GERS that have been in charge of the
Indians have talked that way, and it
sounds like story to me; l hardly
believe you He said: This time it
is the truth l said: Gen. Miles,

been in good circumstances, but IN
stead of that you and the Mexicans
are hunting me with soldiers He
said: never gave any such orders
the troops at Fort Apache, who spread
this report, knew that 1t was untrue
Then / agreed to go back with him to
San Carlos.
ut was hard for me to believe him
at that time, Now I know that what
he said. was untrue, and firmly be-
lieve that he did issue the orders for
me to be put in prison or to be killed
in case l offered resistance.
I'VE started with all our tribe to go
with Gen. Crook back to the United
States, but feared treachery and con-
cluded to remain in Mexico. We were
not under any guard at this time.
The United States troops marched in
front and the Indians followed, and
when we became suspicious we turned
back. 1 do not know how far the
United States, army went after myself
and some warriors turned back before
we were missed, and do not care.
Capt. Lawton In the Field.
Soon Gen. Miles was made COM
mander of all the western posts, and
troops trailed US continually. They
were led by Capt. Lawton, who had
good scouts. The Mexican soldiers
also became more active and more
numerous. We had skirmishes almost
every day, and so we finally decided
to break up into small bands. With
six men and four women / made for
tho range of mountains near Hot
Springs, New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou-
BILE with the cowboys. We killed cat
tie to eat whenever we were in need
of food, but we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine we
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died from thirst.
We ranged in the mountains of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even If for no other
reason than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
South of Casa Grande, near place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there
was a road leading out from the town.
There was much freighting carried on
by the Mexicans over this road.
Where the road ran through noun
tain pass We stayed in hiding, and
whenever Mexican freighters passed
we killed them. took what supplies
we wanted and destroyed the remand
er. We were reckless of our lives,

because we felt that every mans hand
reservation we would be put in prison
and killed; If we stayed in Mex
leo they would continue to send sol
diers to fight us; so we gave no quar-
ter to any one and asked no favors.
After some time we left Gosoda
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
Skirmishing Every Day.
Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day. Four or five
times they surprised our camp. One
time they surprised us about nine
o'clock in the morning, captured all
our horses (19 in number) and secured
our store of dried meats. We also
lost three Indians in this encounter
About the middle of the afternoon OF
the same day we attacked them from
the rear as they were passing through
prairie-killed one soldier, but lost
none ourselves. In this skirmish we
recovered all our horses except three
that belonged to me. The three horses
that we did not recover were the best
riding horses we had.
"Soon after this scouts from Capt
Lawton's troops told us that he WISHED
! to make a treaty with US; but knew

all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the

that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
ALI this SO far was done freely, with
out money and withc-lt price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the tinSucial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interest:
of the Pinkham family, as this elias:
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centen

Exper, with Bow and Arrow.

Nero Perry an old Chickasaw freed
man, who lives on Caddo creek, in the
Chickasaw nation. supports himself
by hunting game with bow and
arrow. Though 76 years old, he can
send an arrow into a squirrel in the
tallest tree. Perry went to the
Chickasaw country in 1888 from Mis-
sissippi with Jim McLish, his old mas
ter. They settled on the banks Of
the Caddo creek, where they built
the first house erected in the Chick
asaw nation. Here they lived until
1861, when McLish died, then the
old place reverted to Perry, and there
he still lives.

Hides in Smoke.

After such a fusillade as this the poor
man naturally seeks refuge in the smoker.
Instead of asserting with a gracious smile
to his announcement that he wants cigar,
as she would have done before they were
married, nine times out of ten she will
say: Don't stay all day. and don't get to
playing poker" When he finally returns
with an apologize hope that she has not
been lonely. instead of the polite denial she
would have smilingly vouchsafed her fiance,
she says: why did you stay SO long? Do
you think it's nice to leave me alone all
this time? You know you oughtn't to smoke
so much! Or were you listening to a lot OF
horrid drummers' stories?"
Little by little this habit of cross-exan1-
nation grows upon a wife; she does not
realize its importance-few of us do realize
the importance of little habits of speech
or thought. If, instead of carelessly allow
ing the habit of unnecessary questioning
to imperil her happiness every W fe would
cultivate the habit of taking certain things
for granted. the irksomeness Of married
life would be averted.
To know what to take for granted and to
use that knowledge is a g fit to beg of one 8
fairy godmother. Too many wives are not
only sareful Marthas. troubled about
many things but they pour out these
troubles into ears that are at first inter-
ested and them at last. frankly bored. A
wife should take for granted that in any
important household matter her husband
will be her sympathetic adviser. but she
should also take for granted the fact that
petty deta Is Of housekeeping do not thrill
his soul any more than the petty details OF
his business thrill hers.
