Nelson A. Miles gave him.
1t was in 1885 and 1886 that Miles
held his famous Apache hunt. Al
least twenty pitched battles were
fought. and the Indians kept the sol.
diers constantly on the move or under
arms. In the course of the campaign
the Apaches repeatedly crossed and re.
crossed the Mexican border. About
the last Of August. 1886. they made
their final stand in the mountainous
region Of the Sierras. 300 miles south
of the border.
After unsuccessful efforts to CON-
promise with Governor Torres, the
Mexican official nearest the trouble,
they finally surrendered to the Amer
lean force, who had an understanding
with the Mexican government.
Among those who surrendered were
Geronimo. the fercest enemy that the
palefaces had ever known; Natchez
and fifteen other chiefs. When the
surrender of the whole force Of hos
tiles had been completed the Amer
leans found themselves with nearly
400 men. women and children to care
for. President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Lamar agreed that their only pos
sible status was that Of prisoners Of
wal. and such they have remained
through six administrations.
The Imprisonment in the Florida
forts was brief. On official recommen-

to Fort Sill. Okla. where they still
remain. But the remnant Of the war

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

YOW. Daphne. dear. you must not fret.
My well beloved suffragette.
No matter what our laws may say,
III see to it you nave your way.
There used to be a saying that
There's several ways to skin a cat
And even If the law denies
ana casts on you it's marble eyes,
JUST list to me and you will note
Exactly how you'll win the vote.
Youll have it ere election time, .
MY best beloved maid, or I'm
NO prophet Of what is to be,
If you will only list to me.
l want YOU Daphne, for my own.
l cannot go through life alone.
Since meeting you, l must confess.
Nv little use for loneliness,
l want your hand; 1 want your heart:
Id have you drive my apple cart;
l want your smile about my place:
l want each day to see your face
And every smile it sheds to be
A smile on nobody but me.
And SO this fair exchange I'd make:
Give me yourself. and you may take
MY vote for evermore to use
IN any way you chance to choose.
I want your heart; you want a vote
Let's swap and joy for all promote.
When comes around election day
~ go n vote it as o say,
And no one will the wiser be
Sav me and you and you n me.
'Twon't be illegal either. for
The secret ballot is the law!
