races on the Mexican border an
Apache in white mans clothes passed
without remark and traded without

So it came that Geronimo and his
captains carried as good field glasses
as did Gen. Crook, the Gray Fox"
who so often hunted them down.
Their revolvers, and they usually car

good, and in every range of hills
they had cached away more guns and
more ammunition.

they buried him with stones. They

Mexican border, and surrendered I'M

Fort Sill, 1t is said that the various
campaigns waged by the United

skin cost the lives of nearly 1000
soldiers and 100000 in money.
AT one time, to curry favor with
the president that he might be per-
mitted to return to his native Arizo-
ma, Geronimo joined the Dutch Re
formed church. But his habits were
so bad that he was dropped from the
church, and he died without acknowI-

Rucus in the Bug House.
Mrs. Rosa Bell, wife of George H.
Bell, whose long fight for freedom
while an inmate of the state asylum
for the insane at Milledgeville, and
recently released through the efforts
Of Mrs. Blanch Burton of Indianapo-
lis, attracted more than statewide
attention, has filed suit for a total
divorce in the Emanuel superior
court
Before her marriage, which oc-
Cured October 10, 1899, Mrs. Bell
was Miss Rosa Folks, daughter of
DR.. Frank c. Folks of Waycross. At
present she is employed as a stenog-
rapher in a Waycross office Their
one child, a daughter, is with her,
and will probably remain in her Gus
tOdy regardless of the outcome of the
divorce proceedings.
1t is stated that in her petition
Mrs. Bell charges habitual drunken
ness and cruelty Of her husband as
her reason for asking the severance
OF her martial bond. The petition
was filed by her attorneys, Messrs.
Wilson, Bennett and Lambdin of
Waycross.
1t is understood that Bell will
offer no opposition to his wife's plea.
He has stated frequently that he
would never return to his old life
with her, and that he did not care
to hear from her. AS long as he
was in the asylum, and he charges
that his wife did not do her duty
because she allowed him to be sent
there, she did not press for a di-
vorce, but now that he is free she
will ask for the separation.

KISS WORSE THAN DRINK.
Pastor INDUCED in Straight Talk to
SpOOning Congregation.


The Rev. Henry w. Ireland of the
Disciples Church, at Mt. Gilead,
Ohio, declared in the pulpit that
there must be no more hugging and
kissing in his church during ser
vices.
Why" said the Rev Mr.. Ireland.
Il have seen young fellows who
come to church for no other purpose
than to disturb the service, lean for
ward over the back of the pew and
press kiss on some fair maiden s
lips, and the smack could be heard
all over the house.
'And that is not the worst of it.
This hugging and kissing nuisance is
not confined merely to the younger
set, but occasionally some older per
sons have annoyed me in the same
manner.
The kiss is an intoxicant, and.
like the saloon, must go. The nee
tar quaffed from the red lips is more
fruitful of consequences than any al
cohOlic beverage ever distilled.
Il think kissing is the worst thing
"a young woman can do, and the
amount of hugging and kissing some
OF our girls do-of our best families,
too-is literally a menace to our
morality.
I have carefully inquired into the
matter, and find that many young
girls imagine that this is the way to
get husbands. 1t may help some.
but kissing is not an act that is nee
eSSary."

Preferred Death to Capture.
The country first began to hear of
Geronimo so years ago, when he was
comparatively a young man. In
those days Cochise was war chief of
the Chiricahua Apaches, an old man
of bestial cruelty. Geronimo, or
Chal-a-rOw, who as war chief of the
Warm Spring Chiricahuas, made life
burden to the settlers of Arizona
and New Mexico Cochise died in
1875 after a career of rapine and
plumber that couldn't be matched eX
cept by the record Geronimo made
later. Natchez succeeded Cochise
and Geronimo very shortly succeeded
Natchez.
As to how many lives Geronimo
ended within the next ten years
there is no record. His favorite
amusement was to send in assurances
OF peace to the soldiers, retire for
a few months to the mountains, and
then when the settlers believed they
were in most security to sWOOp down
on them, scalping every man, woman
and child who hadn't had time to
lice, and there was seldom much
warning before GerOnimO's raids.
Endless stories have been told of
the almost unimaginable cruelty Ge-

prisoners he ever troubled himself
TO take. More than once ranchers
who knew they were doomed to cap
lure or death saw to it that their
women were dead before they fell
into the hands of Geronimo's
Apaches.
His Entry on the Warpath.
Geronimo was born on his fathers
ranch at the head of the ella river,
IN Arizona. He never saw white
man until he was ten years old, and
from the first he hated them. While
still a young man he became per
son of prominence at the campfire
councils, and his hatred of the civil
lzed customs and dress of the pale
faces won him favor among the lead
ers of his people. This is his pict-
uresque account of his first entry on
the warpath.

supported my wife and my family

west, were felt throughout the
Riviera between 8 and IL o'clock at

cities show that the effects of the
second shock were serious.

Several buildings also fell at Enguilles,

Reports received later indicated that
the shocks had been felt practically

violence of the shock appeared to have

Making Shoes in Four Minutes.

: How long would it take you to make
a pair of boots, do you think? You
probably had better not begin it,
especially if you need them soon.
Even a cobbler in the old days, work
ing with his assistant, would spend
day and half making a pair of boots.
And the cost would be about four dol
lars. But now, of course, shoes are
made by machinery, and it is astonish-
ing to learn how quickly they are
made. 1t takes just four minutes to
make pair of boots! And the labor
cost is about 35 cents. Of course, no
one makes the whole boot nowadays.
There are a hundred different men
making different parts of it, and each
one does the same thing over and
over again, and each man learns to
do his particular work especially well
and quickly. And you should see the
buttons sewed on! A boy takes the
part of the shoes where the buttons
are to go and fits it into machine,
throws in handful of buttons quite
carelessly, turns the machine, and in
no time out comes the piece of leather
with all the buttons exactly in the
right place. No wonder some factories
turn out 10000 pairs of shoes in a

chaplain of the senate on December

on his short stories, such as THE Man

of the social uplift. the work of the
two great organizations, the Lend-a-

minister and pastor, his half century

authorities.

Him from Membership.

decided against expelling from mem

of the University of Chicago, whose
published utterances on religious sub

ministers as heretical.
The show of strength came on a
resolution offered as a substitute for
the resolution to expel Prof Foster,
which, in substance, was a reaffirma-
tion by the ministers of their allegi-
ance to the Baptist church, of their
belief in the deity, the Bible and the
cardinal doctrines of orthodoxy, re-
gardless of the belief or works of
Prof. Foster or any others. The adop-
tion of the substitute resolution in eff
feet defeated the original resolution.
