cred in an Arizona Cave.

Skeletons of 200 Indians DiscOv-
cred in an Arizona Cave.
Jeff Adams, an Arizona cattleman,
found in the Superstition mountains a
few days ago a. cavern 35x100 feet in
area, heaped up with the skeletons of 200
dead Indians. The cavern is up in the
side of a precipitous gorge, reached only
by a dangerous trail. In Phoenix Adams
learned that he had rediscoyered the long
lost cave where, in December of 1872,
the Fifth cavalry accomplished the great
est job of Indian killing IN the history
of the army. The Indians, Mojaves and
Apaches, had fled to the cave, pursued
by five troops of cavalry and a company
of Maricopa Indian scouts.
The besiegers had settled down to
starve the aborigines out, when one of the
troopers discovered that by shooting at
an overhanging rock bullets could be made
to glance into the cavern. Firing in this
manner was kept up until the glancing
bullets had killed or wounded every
Apache within. Then the Maricopas led
the way and finished the bloody job.
Under the body of its mother was
found year-old babe, which was adopted
by a Maricopa squaw, later to be sent
to eastern schools and to become the
famous Indian physician, Dr. Carlos Mon
teZuma.

"BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"
How "a Pretty old story Is Misread

How a Pretty old story Is Misread
and Misinterpreted.
When a lovely woman weds rich,
coarse, cruel man, the cynical modern
observer exclaims, Beauty and the
Bestr' The characterization is a wick
ed misleading of one Of the loveliest of
myths, a story as fruitful Of wisdom
to-day as when it sprang out OF the
early life of the world.
Beauty was a good daughter and
brave woman. Her father lost his for.
tune, and she set herself ~ serve him.
When prosperity promised to return to
him, she begged a gift Of roses rather
than of jewels or laces. When he
again fell into trial, was captured by
the Beast and forced to promise one
of his daughters as a ransom, Beauty
at once offered herself as the sacri-
fee.
In the palace of the Beast, surround
ed by every luxury, but not knowing
what fate awaited her, she never for
got her old father, dreamed of him
nightly, and at last begged leave to GO
to see him and return. Although she
was persuaded to stay a week beyond
her leave, she came back Loyalty to the
palace Of the Beast The poor crea.
ture was half-dead of grief for what
he believed to be ner loss, and the
sight of his pain and his delight gave
her courage to avow her recognition Of
his noble qualities, her love for him,
and her resolve to be his wife in spite
of his hideous exterior.
Instantly the Beast was transformed
into a handsome young price, freed
from an evil charm by the devotion of
the brave woman, and Beauty and the
prince came into their just inheritance
of joy and peace.
The symbolism of the myth has a
profound truth. The Beauty who would
work charm upon the Beast in man
to-day must also possess the simplicity
which prefers the rose to the dia-
mond, the industry which does not fear
poverty, the filial loyalty which will
not finch from dangerous duty, the in
tuition which sees the great heart with
the ugly form, and the courage which
dares all for love.
When the woman of to-day and to-
morrow has all these powers at her
call, we shall see, not the hideous mod.

Andrew Hamilton, the peculiar financial

which were brought out on the witness

The weather was pOrtentous Of rain.
Masses of clouds drifted across the
