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 real as they were passing through
a 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.
L.awton's troops told us that he wished
to make a treaty with us; but knew
that Gen. Miles was the chief of the
American troops, and l decided to
treat with him.

Marteen, a Nedni Apache. They were
serving as scouts for Capt. Lawton's

"We stood between his troopers and

on the blanket before us. Our treaty
was made by this stone, and it was
to last till the stone should crumble
to dust; so we made the treaty, and
bound each other with an oath.

Gen. Miles said to me: My brother,

to break up into small bands. With
six men and four ONE l made for
the 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
aso than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
South of Casa Grande, neal a 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 raj through a 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
was against us. If we returned to the
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 M and asked no favors.
After some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
Diminishing 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 camp. One

WAGES AND COST OF LIVING.
Secretary Shaw Offers Himself a Liv
ing Sacrifice.

The Shaw tariff speech that he l,
delivering to Republicans in southern
states follow so closely the stand-pat
arguments of the inspired Republican
campaign book that one is forced to
believe that the expert who is re
puted to have been the author of that
claims everything" compilation must
also have written Shaw's speech. But
whoever wrote the Shaw speech ex.
posed the fallacy of the whole argu-
ment of the advantage of selling
abroad cheaper than here by assuming
that the producer and the consumer
belong to two separate and distinct
classes instead of being the same mass
of people. Mr.. Shaw says that 'if it
was necessary to pay more for his
clothes, shoes, his sewing machine, his
typewriter and his barber wire," he
was willing so long as the products
of American looms clothe and the
products of American labor generally
supply every need of those who pro-
duce these things thus sold abroad at
reduced prices" Secretary Shaw thus
sacrificing himself on the altar of his
country for the benefit of the balance
of us, is a species of altruism only ex-
hibited when the ~exigencies of Repub-
lican campaigns require such sacri-
fees. These workingmen for whom
MI. Shaw is so willing to impoverish
himself, who receive American wages,
also pay American prices and the
value of their wages is determined by
what their wages will buy. Under the
trrst-breeding era of the present tariff
law the average price of all commod.
tiles has risen AT per cent. since 1897.
If wages or incomes have not kept
pace with that extraordinary imitation
then the consumer, whether working
man, or tradesman, or professional
man, is losing by the tru%st-fostering
system that compels him to pay higher
prices for many of the necessities of
life than the trusts sell the anne
necessities to the foreigner for.
Can any one but the trust magnates,
or the Republican politicians of the
Shaw stripe, say that protectionism is
a square deal, when workingmen and
others have to pay higher domestic
prices in order that foreigners may
get the products of their labor at lower
prices? If our nimble workmen had
raw materials, free Of tariff tax, with
which to produce for the home ; :
foreign market and if fleer int
change of products under a tariff for
revenue made the general range OF
prices lower, they could not only sup
ply our own needs, but produce enough
more at those lower prices to vastly
increase our foreign trade. Under
that condition of freer trade, lower
prices would induce greater consump-
ton at home and greater demand from
abroad.
Wages would be lower in dollars
and cents but they would be vastly
higher in purchasing power and the
standard of living would improve more
and more. Whereas it now requires
$1.47 to buy what did cost 81 before
the present tariff law was enacted,
with reduced cost of living, through
the tariff restrictions being reformed
and revised, wages, salaries and in
comes would be actually greater be.

In 1913 she married Isaac Pinkham

their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and Q

In those good old fashioned days II

their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies

urgent cases. By tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won

Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature sc
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-

In some parts of France walnuts
form a regular article Of diet. The
peasants eat them with bread that
has oftentimes been rubbed with gar

cred good, replacing meat to a large
extent. These nuts are also used
to make oil. 1t is much cheaper and
similar in taste to that pressed from
olives, and is employed to adulterate
the latter. The prisoners in certain
prisons are engaged in cracking wal
nuts and picking out the kernels,
which are pressed into oil.
