warrior has himself instituted. Ge-
ronimo's marriage 10 Mrs. Mary Lotto
Is doubtless the last important event
in his life. II is singular crowning
event OF his 56 years and marks new
epoch in the annals of Apache history.
singular in that the chief violates all
the preceding customs of his tribe by
taking unto himself a. wife at an age
when Indians look upon members or
their tribe as dead to all intents and
purposes.
The old warrior was cute enough to
keep his marriage a secret for six
days. One day recently he took a
stroll over the Fort sill reservation.

WORDS BUT RARELY USED.
Strange Sentence in English Which
Was Ratified Off by Phil
ologist.

A philologIst was talking about
words. There are over $4,000 words
In the English language. he said, "but
we only use a few thousand OF them.
The extra ones are no use to us. Any
man could sit down with directory
and write In good English a story
that no one In the world would UNDER
stand. Here, for instance, can you
make head or tall OF this?''
And the philologist battered on
glibly:
Il will againbuy the atabal. You
are asweyed? Yet this Is no blushet's
bobance nor am a cudden, either.
Though the atabal Is dern. sim will 7

Then he translated:
Il will recover the drum. You are
amazed? Yet this is no young girls
boasting nor am fool, either
Though the drum Is hidden, still will

JUVENILE CRIME IN ITALY.
Eighty Per Cent. of Child Malefac-
tors Manufactured by Bad
Environment.

Consul Britain, of Kehl. Germany.
furnishes some startling statistics ON
Juvenile crime In Italy, taken from an
article recently published and written
by Limo Ferriani. He says that 80
per cent. OF the child criminals or
Italy are manufactured by bad en-
vironment and inadequate education
lin other words, by preventable
causes; that 30 per cent. of the Grim
inals Of the country are minors, and
OF these rs per cent. are thieves.
Prof. Ferriani protests against SEN
timental description, but pleads for
scientific investigation. He himself
has closely studied 500 boy prisoners
between the ages of IL and IA, and
reports that more than half of them
came from the most wretched homes.
and over 200 of them had criminal
parents. Very few had ever done any
work. all we're sexually corrupt. nearly
all smoked, and many had taste

The names of the first seven wives

doors of himself and told what he has

Geronimo is said to have seven chill

about two years ago, singularly about
the time Of the demise OF the husband

up to the time. about 20 years ago,

prisoner OF war, was the busiest OF

least of the nerve actions that surged
about In his brain. But time has
changed the old man: his head Is
bending low; his heart ia turning
toward the good things and he must go.

never again ask for his liberty as

Geronimo's home Is on the military
reservation, three miles north of Fort
Sill. His home is one of cluster of
Indian houses which the government
constructed few years ago upon one
of the big prairie hills that throws
the very rock-ribbed peaks OF the
Wichita mountains in your face. This
cluster is one of three that are built
on the reservation and Is known as

attempt made to put her into very
long skirt, but she has shown her good

vance styles for spring show that the
decidedly short skirt will be favored,

ployed for these skirts.

extravaganza. The first of the trio is
of silver gauze over soft green satin.
The trimming of the skirt is arranged
very low and is bordered with black
velvet ribbon. A black velvet ribbon,
which passes around the bare neck
and crosses simply on the bosom,
gives character to the gown. The
sleeve. merely long flowing drapery,
harmonizes we'll with this costume.
The middle figure displays a soft tat

gown ruches of spangled net. The
corsage is edged with guipure, and

speak of the rain-coat as IL is today.
We find it greatly improved, with
