4 Gift That Brought the Rebeii;ous
Apaches to Terms.

\ Gift That Brought the RebeIIious
Apaehes to Terms.
Major Bourke. as aid to General
Crook. once showed himself an effective
peacemaker. He persuaded Il band OF
Apaches to 80 back to their reservation
by presenting Il doll to n papoose. The
incident was as follows:
General Crook had been trying to put
these Apaches back on the serv but
could not catch them without killing
them. an action that did not appeal to
him. One day his forces captured a
rapoose and took her to the fort. She
was quiet all day. but her black eyes
watched everything. When night came
the child broke down and sobbed just
as any white youngster might.
The fort was in despair until Major
Bourke had an idea. From the adju-
tant's wife he borrowed u doll that had
come to her little girl the previous
Christmas. When the young Apache
understood that it was hers to keep
her sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was
still clasped tightly in her arms. She
played with it all day. and seemingly
all thought of ever getting back to the
tribe had left her.
Several days passed with no sign Of
overture being made by the tribe, and
finally in despair the, papoese. with, the
doll still in her possession, was sent
back. When the child reached the
tribe with the prize grasped in her
chubby hands 1t created a sensation
among the native Americans. and her
mother later went back to the post
with It. She was received in a hos.
pitable manner and kindly treated.
and the effect of. her visit was such
that through her overtures were made.
with the result that soon afterward
the entire band moved back IN the re
serve.-St. Louis Republic.

4 Useful Picnic stove.

Picnic cooking. II In inexpert hands,
will undoubtedly be better over q
stove than an open fire, states IN arti-
Gle In Picnic and Camping" In the
June Woman's Home Companion. But
you cannot carry a stove on a pic
mic or camping expedition. nor need
you. A piece Of thin sheet iron thirty
inches long by eighteen inches wide is
all the, stove you want. This. laid
across two little banks Of earth with
the IRE between OF two logs with the
fire between, forms an excellent stove
and not only makes It unnecessary to
wait for embers for good cooking
since the flames cannot reach the
food through the sheet iron-but Is in
itself an excellent griddle for making
toast and iapjacks.

County Seat Roads Better

Valley City Courier: The Mis-
souri, legislature passed a new
road law at the last session
which requires all public roads
connecting the county seat towns
of all adjoining counties to be
improved by a regular plan OF
road dragging. This law provides
for a county highway board to
consist Of three members, to act
in connection with the state en-
gineer. The particular routes at
ter selection are designed as
county seat roads, and the high
way board is required to contract
for the dragging of such roads
under certain conditions, at a
cost not to exceed SIS per mile
per year. This is paid out Of the
state good roads fund and be-
comes a direct donation from the
state road fund to the several
counties. The advantage of this
plan is that the roads are drag
ged and kept in good condi ton
after every storm and when need
ed, and the work done by con-
tract under the supervision OF
parties whose business it is to
have the work performed in the
proper manner. )

Flies and This Bird Belong In Same
Glass az N~uisancss.
To the slogan Of .Swat the fiyr'
might we'll be added that Of Kill the
SPARROW Flies and sparrows belong
in the same class as nuisances and
menaces to health.
Most birds deserve to be protected
for some service they perform, but
when all the evidence has been sub
mitted in the sparrow's case 1t will
stand condemned. Perhaps it occa.
sionally eats a harmful worm, but the
greater part of its food is of grain.
Then it is the constant enemy Of ma
tive birds. which. unlike itself. live
mostly on worms and insects that are
injurious to trees and crops.
Wherever European civilization has
gone this pest bird has gone with it.
There were no sparrows in America
until they were imported from Eng
land to free shade trees Of caterpillars.
and this they have ever since refused
to do.
For many years the sparrow was I'M
known except in the towns: and 1t
gained the name Of town bird" But
in later years IL. has. spread all over
theYcountry until. now It. is probably q.
greater nuisance on the farm than In
the city. The sparrow's habit Of liv.
ing always ear settlements and in
sheltered places makes It most pro-
life bird. It is almost independent of
the seasons in breeding.
The sparrow helps to spread diseases
by building nests upon or near houses.
Building IN houses is especially a
menace to health in the country.
where people catch water from the
roofs to fill their %cisterns.
