GERONIMO IN ACTION.
The Indian Chiefs Story of How He
Whipped the Mexicans.


Whipped the Mexicans.
About noon we began 10 hear them

officers. About 3 o'clock the general
called all the Officers together at the
right side OF the field The place where
they assembled was not very far from
the main stream. and 4 little ditch ran
out close TO where the officers stood.
Cautiously crawled out this ditch,
very close 10 where the council was
being held.
The general was an old warrior. The
wind was blowing in my direction. so

understood most OF II. This Is about
what he told them: Officers. yonder

was not so fierce. yet they continued TO

the firing had ceased a dozen Indians

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER
Well to Remember That She Is Ever
a Model of Behavior to tho
Children.

1T Is hard for young mother, who
has not yet overcome the hayward
tendencies OF her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts
over her little one. She is constantly
surrounded by critical imitators who
copy her morals and manners.
AS the mother is, SO are her sons
and daughters. II family of children
are blessed with an intelligent moth
er, who Is dainty and refined tn her
manner, and does not consider II nee
essary to be one woman in the draw
ing room and an entirely different per
son In her everyday life, but who is a
true mother and always tender,
charming woman, she will invariably
see Der habits of speech and perfect
manners repeated In her children.
Great. rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices and step quietly and try to be
more mannerly when she stops to
give them kind word and a pleasant
smile. For a true woman will never
fail to say and do all the kind, pleas
ant things she can that will in any
way help to lift up and cheer those
whose lives are shaded with care and
loil The mother of today rules the
world of tomorrow.
