SAFE WAS APACHE PROOF
Even When the Indians Pushed II
OF a Cliff II Protected the
Government Funds.

Years ago in the west, when the
government sent out safes for the
use of its army paymasters In remote
districts, 1t was the custom for the
paymaster In cavalry service to ride
In an ambulance with the safe, escort
ed by guard of six mounted men.
On one occasion such a guard was
attacked by a large force of Apache
Indians. Two men were killed, and
the Indians captured the ambulance
with the safe. The safe contained
about $4,000 in greenbacks. 1t
weighed some four hundred pounds,
and had a combination lock. Now
the Indians had never seen a safe at
close quarters, but they knew that it
contained money. Also, they wanted
that money.
They first pounded of the knob
with stones, under the impression
that the door could then be pried
open. Their attempt was, of course.
a failure. The next step was tc try
their tomahawks on the chilled steel,
In the hope that hole might be cut
in IT. This means, too, proved of no
avail. so they determined to try fire.
Accordingly, they gave the safe a
three-hour roasting Luckily for the
government, II was fireproof. They
threw big rocks upon It while It was
hot, but they were as far from the
money as ever.
Next the Apaches dragged the safe
up the side of a mountain and tum-
bled 1t over a precipice two hundred
feet high They expected. of course,
TO see 1t burst open. but the only
damage was slight injury to one of
the wheels. The safe was left soak
Ing in the river for three or four
days. and great was the Indians dis
appointment at finding themselves
still baffied.
Then they tried gunpowder, but
knowing nothing OF the art of blast
Ing. they brought about an explosion
that burned half dozen warriors
and left the safe none the worse. The
Indians worked over that safe, OF and
on. for a month or more, but failed
to get at the inside. Finally. In dis
gust, they left 1t In deep ravine.
fourteen months later, when peace
came. the army found the safe. II
was lying In the bed OF a creek with
great pile OF driftwood around It.
II was sad-looking safe. but when
olened showed its contents intact

The Colonial Run.

Inc old handmade rug, sometimes
called the Martha Washington. has
come into vogue again. 1t is particu-
larly effective and appropriate for
bedrooms where simple mahogany
furniture and soft, gray papering is
used
The rugs are made of long tubes of
SILK, soft hued and low toned in color,
tufted with cotton. Three separate
strands are plated together and then
this plait, sta. ing from a solid GEN.
ter, is wound round and round, being
caught securely into place, the circle
becoming ever wider until the re-
CURED size of the rug is reached.
Some are oblong, but more often
round ones are seen. They help to
give quite an old-time touch to a
room, an effect which is eagerly
sought for these days.

GREETS WRONG WOMAN
CLEVELAND MAN MAKES A MOST
DEPLoRABLE MISTAKE.
She Is Not His Chum's Wife, but
Wishes Her Husband Were
There to Thrash "Low
Wretch"

The Cleveland mans old college
chum out in Chicago had written him
that his wife and little boy were go
ing through here on their way east
to visit her mother They would be
in Cleveland over night, the Chicago
ehum wrote, and he wanted to know
if his old friend here would mind
meeting the little wife and kid and
taking them out to his house to meet
his own wife, and let EN- stay there
over night
Naturally. the Cleveland man
wrote back that he would be delight
ed. He had never met his ehums
wife as the marriage had taken place
since the two men separated, but the
description in her husbands letter
seemed sufficient to identity her and
her offspring.
"The youngsters chubby little
cuss with sandy hair about like
mine" the letter said, "and as for my
wife, well, all you have to do is just
pick out the niftiest little woman of
20 or so that gets off the train, and
If she has with her the sandy-haired
youngster before mentioned. and is
rather slender, with dark hair, it's a
safe bet she's the one"
So the Cleveland man went down
to the station and waited for the Chi
cago train to pull in. Among the first
passengers to alight was a charm

AS the woman and youngster
squeezed through the exit gate, ne
took off his hat and walked over to
meet them. He knew his old friend
wouldn't have married a girl without
a sense of humor. so he began jaunt-

The Clevelander saw several peo-

woman might make a scene IL he
tried to explain. So he lifted his hat
once more and turned away In con-
siderable confusion. On his way out
he heard several people talking I'M

PLEASES WOMEN TEACHERS
They Indorse School Chapter Of
Proposed New Charter.

The marlborough Association OF Women
Teachers decided last night to indorse the
educational chapter Of the new charter and
resolved 10 do all in its power to secure
its passage during the coming legislative
session.
Miss Grace c. Strachan ridculed the idea
that the new charter would throw eighteen
thousand teachers into politics, and asked
what difference it made what Mr.. Eliot,
the former president OF Harvard thought
Of the educational charter OF New Yo.k.
The question was raised VIII s,her the char
ter as a whole was really as bad as II ap-
peared to be from the opposition II aroused.
Miss strachan answered that the men who
had been working on the document and
now were editing II were too well known
10 be suspected Of passing anything on the
public that was not for The public's best
Miss Alice Bruere said that she was not
SO very sure Of that. as these men were
tine same who had made the original draft
that aroused storm Of opposition.
The new charter will mean social and
economic revolution for women said Miss
Ida Z. Gano. and I see In its passage

To remove the possibility of an inference
