was a curtain raiser for the real exhi-

different fingers. The rings looked to

THE APACHES.
This Tribe Holds the Record as Bad
Indiana.

This Tribe Holds the Record as Bad
Indians.
Scarcely O tribe of our American In
dams but what have engraved their rec
ord Of crime and ipfamy high up on
history's wall, yet above them all is the
Apaches.
From 1910 to 1853 New Spain and
Mexico carried on so called warfare
with these people. The Apaches were
vastly outnumbered by the Mexican
soldiery, but what they lacked in num-
bers was more than made up In cour-
age and craftiness. The Apache ever
had q thorough contempt for the Next
can soldier, and in later years, when
they were fighting with firearms as
we'll as arrows, they would not waste
cartridges on the Mexicans, but would
kill them with arrows, spears and
stones, saving their cartridges for other
and more worthy foes.
When this southwest region became
a part Of the United States the Apaches
were a serious problem with which we
had to contend. Our government vacil-
lated between q simpering peace policy
and the other extreme, their extermina-
ton.
Their zone of wandering being inter-
sected by the international boundary
line further complicated matters. They
would raid down into Mexico and then
rush back with the plumber to our side
Of the line, out Of reach of the pursuing
soldiers. Next it would be a raid on
the Arizona side and q fight into the
wild mountains Of Sonora. The Me1i-
can government attempted to assist
their miserable army by giving a scalp
bounty, and for years they paid out
their gold coin for Apache scalps.
Scalp hunting became recognized In
dustry. The horror Of this was that to
the Mexican official all scalps looked
alike, whether from the head Of q hos
tile or a friendly Indian. The price
was 500 for a man, $50 for a woman
and sos for a child. 1t Is small wonder
that the tribe sank deeper into saw
agery than ever when we stop to think
that the men knew there was price
set on the scalps Of their wives and
children, and there was horde OF
human fiends, white in color, but more
savage than the savage himself, who
were hunting them as they would a
cougar Of the mountains.-E. S. Curtis
In Scribner's.

ECZEMA AFFLICTS

for Two Years With Terrible
Eczema - Home Remedies and
Medicines Gave No Relief
Mother Expresses Joy at
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES

any husband and FIVE children were
ell afflicted with eczema. They had it
two years. We used all the home REM
edies we could hear of, without any
relief, and then went to a physician
and got medicine two different times,
and It got worse. 1t affected us all
over except head and hands, We saw
Cuticura Remedies advertised and con-
Guided to try them. So sent for SlOO
worth, consisting of one cake Of Cuticura
Soap, one box Of Ointment, and one vial
of Pills, and we commenced to use them.
I do not know how to express my Joy
in finding cure, for two of my chill
dren were so bad that they have the
brown scars on their bodies where they
were sore. If it will be of any benefit
to you, you can publish my letter with
pleasure. Yours truly, Mrs. Maggie B.

Legend and Reality.

Legend tells how Napoleon, while
Moscow was in flames, found time to
draw up q decree organizing the Thea
tire Francois. Alas, the story Is not
true. Napoleon was in Poland when
he received the decree ready to be
signed He there signed it and sent II
back to Paris, but in the margin wrote
the following: ITO be forwarded when
the army will be at Moscow. 1t is his
majesty's intention that the decree
should be dated from that town."

eeril of Mountains Takes It's Toll Of
Life and Property.


Every year the life of miner in the
high mountain regions is menaced by
he avalanche or snOwslide, and every
year brings its list of casualties and
Of bairbreadth escapes. The story Of
snowslldes would fill book and would
be thrilling, tragic and In some cases
\ grewsome one.
Men have ridden hundreds of feet on
The back of q snOwsllde and have es-
capped unhurt. Others have been caught
and buried so deep and in such uncer-
tain spots that their bodies have not
been discovered until the melting of
the snow In the following spring.
Some have been caught as they were
walking, but a few steps from the
boarding house to the mine, or while
emptying q car on the mine dump. Not
infrequently men have found them
selves temporarily imprisoned by the
entrance of the mine being closed by
a slide while they were at work and
have had to dig their way out.
A Chinese cook at one Of the Idaho
mines stepped outside his kitchen door
for O moment and was caught and
hurled with the slide 1000 feet down
the hillside and his body was not re-
covered till the following spring.
Such incidents denote the extreme
suddenness, power and velocity of the
slide. Little or no warning is given, a
roar, n cloud Of snow obscuring the

The Apache. Are Sun wOrshiperS.

The Apaches, like many other North
American tribes, are sun worshipers.
Their myths tell them that the sun Is
the all powerful deity, and to 1t all
supplications are addressed. On going
into battle, planting corn or on start
ing on cattle stealing expedition, the
sun Is asked to look with favor. That
they believe in n future world Is prov
ed by their custom of killing horses
and burying them, as well as their
clothing and implements of the chase
for life in the future world. Not only
the medicine men but the people claim
to hold communion with the Chindi, or
spirits Of their ancestors. They are
also great believers in omens, tails
mans and amulets, but are very con-
servative, and 1t Is with difficulty that
one gets them to discuss things super
natural. They will not talk about God
among their own people with familiar
ity and scarcely at all with the white
man.-E. s. Curtis in Scribner's.
