BACK TO THEIR POST.
Striking Telegraphers in France Are
Returning to Work.

Paris May 13.-The number of strik-
ing government employees shows no ap-
probable increase this morning. The
services are normal. and at some places,
notably Bordeaux. the telegraphers who
went out yesterday. have returned to
their posts. The concerted efforts OF
the strikers stationed at various bu-
reaus in Paris to induce their comrades
to join the movement have been with
out effect. The authorities are conf
dent the strike will be over in few
days.
On the other hand the leaders of the
strike claim that the government is
'.bluffing' and that its figures regard
ing the number of roen out are ridicu-
lous. They declare the movement will
extend rapidly and that the general
federation of labor will soon make
dramatic appearance on the scene.
Only at Havre, where both the post
and telegraph services are practically
tied up, is the situation worse today.
The batch of dismissals last night evil
IDENTIFY has dismayed the rank and file.
The government this afternoon will ask
for a vote of confidence in the chamber
OF deputies and if this is obtained an
other and larger batch of dismissals
will follow Immediately.

HIS UMBRELLA.

Secrets I'm Public.
A young man was riding in an omni

In his hand an umbrella which had
been given him as a birthday present
On the seat facing him was a lady
with precocious boy, evidently about
five years Old
The youngster regarded the young
man with attention for few moments
and then his eyes wandered to the
umbrella. He gazed at II in silence for
second then he wrlggled In his seat
clapped his hands and shouted:
''Oh, mamma, don't that look like pa.

Hush, hush, my child!" said the
mother, patting the prodigy on the
head.

child wonder.
"Yes, yes, but he found It," said the
mother hurriedly, as the conversation
was becoming of interest to the occu
pants OF the seats.

dead before they fell into the hands
OF Geronlmo's Apaches.
Geronimo never fought when he
could help It. A woman on a ranch
or a mail carrier on his pony carried
as good scalp as soldier and was
much safer to slay. when the soldiers
caught up-as they sometimes did
the Indians fought back with every
device they knew. When the pursuit
was too hot their picked men dropped
In their blankets and waited until the
soldiers came upon them, and sought to
shoot the officers.
A Typical Raid.
The story Of one Of Geronlmo's raids
Is practically the story OF all. and
the biggest Of them was In 1881, when
Geronimo led 800 warriors on the war
path down as far as chihuahua. They
had many diversions along the road.
On Eagle river they found herder
with 1900 sheep. The herder they
threw over cliff, and as he lay there
broken-legged they buried him with
stones. They punched the eyes out Of
the sheep until that grew tlresome.
In Gold Gulch half dozen capital
lists were on their way to examine a
prospect. A small detachment OF the
Indians lay In the tall grass alongside
the trail and shot Ave OF the six out
OF their saddles. The sixth man got
away. He had retained his rife, and
they did not follow him.
They crossed the ella river with a
lot Of horses, killing freighters as they
found them, and swept across the mesa
near Shakespeare, where they encoun-
tered Judge McComa OF Silver City,
his wife and their 6-year-old son. They
shot the judge felled his wife with a
stone, tortured her to death, and car
ried of the boy-to what fate nobody
ever has been able to make the
Apaches tell.
When Geronimo was at the height OF
his power as an outlaw his face was
one Of demoniacal ferocity. His fury
knew no bounds. His temper was so
terrible that he frothed at the mouth
when enraged. II horse did not do
as he wished he killed II, and squaws
who displeased him were put to
death.
The last death trail m which he was
engaged was In 1886, and in that raid
he killed 76 white settlers. Gen. Miles
conducted the campaign against him
and, aided by the late Gen. Lawton, he
succeeded in snaring the willy chief in
1885. Geronimo and his fighters were
run to earth at the junction of the San
Bernardino and Bavispe rivers, near
the Mexican border, and surrendered
Internationally. They were sent to
Fort Pickens, Fla, and later to Mount
Vernon Barracks, In Alabama, and
then in 1894 were transferred to Fort
Sill. 1t is said that the various cam
paigns waged by the United States
against this murderous redskin cost tn,
lives Of nearly 1000 soldiers ant
S5,000,0 900 in money.
At one time, to curry favor with thu
President that he might be permitted
to return to his native Arizona, Geron
limo Joined the Dutch Reformed
church. But his habits were so bad
that he was dropped from the church
and he died without acknowledging the
white mans God.

survived of the host of Indian lead
ers Of the last two generations. Time
after time during this long period he
outgeneraled, outmarched and out
fought dozens Of regimental leaders of
the United States army, and was per-
sonally responsible for the delibera te
murder Of thousands Of helpless set
tiers and the horrible torture of hun
dreds Of captured enemies. For the
last nineteen years this old chief had
been a prisoner of war.
He had never forgiven the white
men, and up to the time of his death
he never spoke Of the whites as broth
ers" except at times when the willy old
redskln covered his hatred to pray for
some favor. He had made many at
tempts to get permission to go back to
Arizona, where he said he desired to
die.
Early In 1908 Geronimo made trip
to Washington with a number of his
followers in an effort to interest Pres
ident Roosevelt In his case The old
Indian was unsuccessful, however, and
to the last Geronimo was full of bit
ter hatred for the white man. At the
time of his death Geronimo was SO
years old. One daughter, Lola, who
lives in Oklahoma, survives the old
warrior.
From the early COS until Gen. Law
ton, then serving under Gen. Miles.
rounded him up in 1886, Geronimo was
living terror to the settlers OF Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico.
Time after time in those days he
swept down upon lonely ranches with a
band Of well-horsed, well-armed saw
ages, numbering and burning, then with
the cunning of snake wriggled back
into the mountains, where the little
companies of cavalry found 1t impos-
slble to snare him.
Preferred Death TO Capture.
The country first began to hear of
Geronimo so years ago, when he was
comparatively young man. In those
days Cochise was war chief of the
Chiricahua Apaches, an old man of
bestial cruelty. Geronimo himself was
the son of Mangus Colorado, or Chal-
crow, who as war chief OF the Warm
Spring Chiricahuas made life bur
den to the settlers OF Arizona and New
Mexico. Cochise died In 1875 after a
career Of rapine and plunder that
couldn't be matched except by the rec
ord Geronimo made later. Natchez sue
ceeded Cochise and Geronimo very
shortly succeeded Natchez.
AS to how many lives Geronimo end
ed within the next 10 years there is
no record. His fayorite 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 fee, and there
was seldom much warning Before Ger
onimo's raids. Endless stories have
been told Of the almost unimagfnable
cruelty Geronimo displayed toward the
few prisoners he ever troubled himself
to take. More than once ranchers who
knew they were doomed to capture or
death saw to II that their women were
