JUST KEEP ON KEEPIN ON

If the day looks kinder gloomy,
 An your chances kinder slim! If the situation's puzzlin's
 An the prospects awful grim, An perplexities keep pressin'
 Till all hope is nearly gone, Jus bristle up an grit your teeth, An keep on keepin' on. Fumin' never wins fight,
 An frettin' never pays; There ain't no good of broodin' in These pessimistic ways Smile just kinder cheerfully
 When hope is nearly gone, An bristle up, an grit your teeth,
 An keep on keepin' on. There ain't no use in growlin'
 An grumblin' all the time When music's ringin' everywhere
 An everything's rhyme Jus keep on smilin' cheerfully
 If hope is nearly gone, An bristle up. an grit your teeth,
 An keep on keepin' on.

An Incident of Geronimo's Capture

The death of the famous old Apache chieftain, Geronimo, recalls to mind the noted achievement of Lieut.. Gatewood, U. s. A., who went alone and unguarded into the heart of the Apache stronghold and there opened the negotiations which cul- minated in the surrender of Geron- imo and his band of Apaches to the mercies of the United States gov ernment. The annals of Indian warfare do not contain a record of a more daring exploit than Lieut.. Gatewood performed in going over plain and through canyon to the retreat of the Apaches in the Sierra Madre mountains in old Mexico. He was able to talk some in the language of the Indians, and thus aimed to explain his mission to Geronimo's camp when he should be captured and brought to the presence of the old chief. The dan- ger that confronted him. apart from the perils of lonely travel in noun tains infested by ferocious wild beasts, was that he would be shot from ambush by some skulking Indian, but he risked every danger. The Indians in general and old Geronimo in particular were amazed at his daring. Something in his manner or countenance invited the confidence of the Indians. Gate wood always affirmed that it was his long nose that won the admir- ation of the savages. The negotia- tions with the willy old chief lasted several days, and finally ended in the submission of Geronimo to the conditions which General Miles might impose. There was lively hustle among the "higher ups" in the United States army to appro- priate the fame of Lieut.. Gate woods expedition, and now, as the story of Geronimo's career is told, the name of the real hero is not mentioned.

"Going Some" in Texas

If the bootlegging bill before the Texas legislature is enacted into law the bootlegger of that state will be subject to penalty of two years in the penitentiary.
 Another measure before the leg. islature provides against the drink ing of intoxicants on any public highway or any other place in view of private residence, which resi- dence does not belong to the drinker
 Still another bill hits hard at express compa nies, and makes the delivery of intoxicants to minors in local option territory a felony.
 The bill providing for prohibi- tion amendment to the constitution has been defeated, but the anti. saloon forces are now trying to secure a bill which will provide that when 10000 citizens of Texas petition for the submission of any amendment to the constitution, tht amendment shall go before tht people. If this bill should pass and these measures are put into effect, there is reason to believe that the liquor traffic will find hard sledding down in Texas.

homesteaders Should Hurry

Whoever is contemplating taking homestead on government lano in Arizona had better make filings on the land desired before the pass age of the statehood bill.
 By the terms of the statehood bill several million acres of the public domain are given to the new state to pay the territorial ano county debts and for other pur. poses. The statehood bill also pro vides that the land so given to the new state shall not be sold for less than $5 per acre.
 Naturally the land selected by the new state will be the lands which are more likely to be attract. i've to home seekers. The most val uable lands in Arizona today are the lands which a homesteadel would desire, except a few small tracts of timber land in the noun. tains. So, we advise all who are expecting to take a homestead ir Arizona to do it now while the gov. ernment land is available.
