overworked thirty years ago than you
are now. The nearest ever came to
being killed was-when 1 was young

The engineer and fireman of the EN-

they had gone to sleep there right

ANTS-THE IDEAL

1t would perhaps be pushing me-
taphors to an unwarranted extreme
to speak of dignity OF labor" in
connection with the occupations of
ants. But if by the phrase we
mean that labor is the honorable lot
OF all citizens, and that all laborers
of whatever sort are upon the same
level of respectability, then we
might venture to apply the saying even
to the labors OF an ant hill. For
therein all are workers, from the
newly-nedged callow to the veteran
Of second summer.
Therein is no taboo upon hand
toll" All forms thereof are equally
creditable. We are reminded of the
simpler state of society in the pio-
neer days Of the United States and
Canada and the British colonies. In
deed it is the natural social order
of human communities, until great
possessions, earned and inherited, or
usurped, create favored class. Sure

FAMOUS INDIAN CHIEF INSANE.
Geronimo Is Guarded Constantly by
Apache Scouts.

LawtOn, Okla.-Chief Geronimo, the
great Apache warrior. who is said to
have scalped more white people than
any other living Indian, and who for
20 years has been a prisoner of war
on the Fort Sill military reservation,
near here, is reported by an Apache
Indian to have completely lost his
mind and has to be guarded almost
night and day by Apache scouts in the
government service.
He wandered away from home the
other day and was not seen until
nightfall being discovered about
dark wandering carelessly near Fort
Sill, watching the highways and MUIR
muring to himself. A carriage ap-
preached and he galloped toward, it
with a ferociOus grin that frightened
the occupants. He was taken in
charge by two scouts who came up
and prevented him following the
party
Geronimo is believed to have grown
demented because of the refusal of the
war department and the president to
grant him liberty or permission to re-
turn to Arizona, the scene of his many
devastations of villages and slaughter
ing of whites.
Since his last appeal to the presi-
dent he has been morose and a few
weeks ago his wife, the eighth of his
career, left him to return no more.
