Western Traveller Held Up Com
planned About 1t and His Cap
tor Scratched 1t for Him.

Whatever difference of opinion may
exist in regard to other subjects. those
who have been held up by highway
men are unanimous in the statement
that no matter how few the ho.ders-up
or how many they held up. each and
every man said that the robbers weap-
on was pointed directly and solely at
him.
Years ago in California traveller was
on stage coach that pair of bandits
went through. The IA passengers were
al made to get out and stand in row,
with their hands high over their heads.
One burly rufiian stood guard over
them with a double-barreled shotgun,
while the other engaged in the pleasing
task of relieving them of their yalu-
ables and spare cash. This particular
traveller was nearest the man with the
shotgun.
While the ceremonies were in
progress his nose began to itch, and
instinctively he started to lower one
hand to scratch il. Hands up there!"

NIonteneErlns as soldiers.

The Montenegrin army is wonderful
ly strong for so small a nation, and con-
sists of 24,O0O men, divided into two, ,di-
visions of 12,CO0 men each. Each of
these divisions includes two brigades.
Every Montenegrin brigade is formed
of five battalions, splendidly armed
with Mimic and Thomas Ssdert rifles.
The reigning prince is the commander
in chief Of the army; under him is a
chief of the staff, with two generals of
division and four brigadier generals.
The army consists almost entirely of
infantry, with a small contingent of ar
tillery. To their great physical
strength, marvellous agility and keen
eyesight, the Montenegrin joins re-
markable knowledge of everything
pertaining to the science of warfare.
But what in particular characterizes
the MontenGgrin as a warrior and what
makes him superior to any European
soldier is his strong sense of individ-
uality, his pride Of independence, which
enables him to~Perform the most Won
derful acts of courage. Though small,
the Montenegro army, owing to the
special characteristics of its soldiers, is
a force that will play leading part in
the next conflagration in eastern Eu-
rope.-Washingto Star.

GERONIMO STILL LIVELY.
At the Age of Ninety Years the Ia
nous Apache Chief Is
Full of Vigor. &

Old Geronimo, chief of the Apaches,
is the most noted Indian of the wild
tribes of North America. He is 90 years
of age, and as straight as. an arrow.
His eyes are keen, piercing and cruel.
His feet are very large.
When at the post at Fort Sill, I. T.,
old Geronimo played monte, a game
of cards liked very much by the In
dians, but when he can get permission
TO leave the reservation his time is
spent in hunting, of which he is still
very fond.
Geronimo was with Victoria in the
Indian uprising in 1882, when 600
Apaches were led by her against the
whites who had settled in Arizona and
bordering states.
They were pursued by Lewis Teras-
raz with a regiment of Mexican soldiers.
Victoria was captured and beheaded
and more than one-half of her band
were killed. Geronimo escaped, but,
after hearing that Victoria had been
beheaded, surrendered.
He was released and became the great
war chief of the Apaches. His band was
a terror to the carly settlers of Ari-
zona, Mexico and New Mexico.
In 1884 Gen. George Crook was de-
tailed by the government to capture
this band. After two years Of unsuc-
cessful pursuit Gen. Crook resigned and
Gen. Miles was given command of the
troops in pursuit.
March 25, 1866, Gen. Miles captured
Geronimo and his band. Terms were
made whereby they were to remain on
/ the reservation at Fort Bowie. Four
days later the chief and his band es-
capped and began further depredations
On the whites. Capt. Lawton was
sent in pursuit, and the band was again
captured.
The territory of Arizona petitioned
the government to have the Apaches re-
moved to distant fields. After some
time it was decided to send the Old chief
and his band to Florida. They were
closely guarded and were not allowed
TO leave the post on any preteXt.
The warm climate of Florida and the
close confinement in the fort killed off
most of the band, and. to prevent ex-
termination, the remainder were re-
moved to Fort Sill, /. tn. Y. Sun.
