OUT OF REDBUD CANYON.
By Roe L. Hendrick

Among the Indians Of North Amer,
lea the Apache is the Arab. He is
somewhat understood, active, wiry,
enduring, patient, remorselessly cruel,
and strangely solitary in his habits.
This last trait has been apparent in
every war that the Apaches have
waged with the whites, whether Span
iards or Americans. 1t has been espe'
cially noticeable whenever the whites
| have undertaken regular campaigns to
subdue the savages. When closely
pursued, they have invariably scat
tered, and have remained separated,
often for months at a time.
When the pursuit of Geronimo was
at its height, fugitive Apaches were in
hiding among the mountains and on
the parched plains of a region larger
than New England and New York
combined-a country, moreover, where
a white man would have starved in a
few days. Yet many OF the tribesmen
were never caught by the soldiers, and
not one failed to wiring subsistence
from the barren land.
They did not merely hide. They
were terrible foes who shot down
their enemies from ambush and who
ruthlessly murdered all who passed
their way. One Indian, many miles
from his kindred, was able to make
himself the scourge Of a nentire from
tier county.
AS Simpson, the foreman Of the San
Miguel ranch, was riding toward the
Huelvetas Mesa to discover why his
horse herder did not bring in the po-
MES that belonged to the southern
herd, he found the body of the man
dead beside the ashes of his campfire,
and stripped of much of his clothing.
The herder had been shot in the back
while he was cooking his breakfast.
Simpson leaned over the body; as
he did so, he was himself wounded in
the shoulder. The bullet came from a
heap of rocks a hundred yards away.
He swung into the saddle, and pluck
lily tried to ride down his a%ssaiiant:
but the Indian ran ahead of him like
a deer, and disappeared down an ar
rcyo, where the cow.pany could not
follow. Although his wound was not
serious, Simpson was soon so weak
ened by loss Of blood that he had to
ride to the ranch house for treatment;
he tainted when he reached the gate
of the corral.
Two days later a Mexican squatter
on the bottom lands neal the mead OF
Redbud Creek was murdered while
going to a spring for a bucket Of
water. His wife and two half.grown
sons escaped by instant fight, but
their adobe cabin was plundered and
destroyed. They reported that a sin.
gle Apache, apparently a mere youth,
committed the outrage.
The sparse population Of the region
was reused, and a posse was hurriedly
organized to hunt down the marauder.
The cowboys, with Mexicans to help
them, searched ove many miles OF
broken country, but did not get a
glimpse of their quarry. Deep in the
moutains they found the ashes of two
small fires, where the fugitive had
cooked jack rabbits and gophers, but
they soon lost the trail; the Indian
had resorted to the bare rocks, where
his soft moccasins left no trace.
Evidently this hunt did not brighten
away the lurxing savage: for a few
days later, the driver Of the Tucson
stage was shot at. AS the bullet sang
Lower coast gazette., 1913-08-16

past his face, he saw the Apache dart
behind a clump of stunted mesquits.
The driver fired almost instantly, but
missed. However, he was glad to es-
cape with a whole skin.
The military commander at Fort
Phoenix could spare no soldiers; the
whole department was occupied, di.
rectly or indirectly, In the pursuit OF
Geronimo, concerning whose where
abouts the most contradictory rumors
were afloat.
Less than a week after the stage
| driver was shot at, Tommy Clark, a
young range rider employed at the
| San Miguel ranch, was searching for
strays along the lower course of Red
bud Creek, more than thirty miles
from where the Mexican had been
killed.
Suddenly he saw a flock of buzz
yards rise heavily from a hollow some
distance away to the left. He changed
his course, and DOT came upon the
carcass of a COW; the animal had been
partly skinned, and several pounds
of meat had been cut from the loin.
Here again was the work of the In
dian. Tommy rode in a circle round
the hollow, looking fer a trail. The
cows body was between one hundred
and two hundred yards east Of the
canyon through which the creek flows.
At that point the gorge is more than
three hundred feet deep, but it is so
narrow that a boy could easily throw
a stone across it.
Tommy, holding his revolver. ready
for instant use, scanned every foot Of
sand and brush in sight, but saw moth
ing to arouse his suspicious. Again
he started round the hollow. He was
in the act of wheeling his mustang to
avoid riding over the precipice, when
the animal reared and fell in a heap,
throwing its rider behind it. At the
same instant the sharp report of a gun
came from across the canyon.
Although shaken by his fall, Tommy
was not seriously hurt. The pony had
been shot just above the eyes, as it
swung it's head in front of him while
turning, and had been instantly
killed.
Peering over the hips of the dead
mustang, young Clark saw a wisp Of
black smoke drift away from between
two rocks across the gorge, but he
could see nothing of the Indian. After
waiting m%otionless for five minutes,
the youth left his broad hat where it
had fallen On dhe horses back. and
wriggled to a depression behind a
clump of broad-leayed cacti. Thence
he maze his way, like a snake, to a
similar shelter close to the edge Of
the canyon, where he lay at full length
and watched intently.
A half hour passed, and the silence
was unbroken. Nothing stirred except
the wheeling buzzards, which gathered
courage from Tommy's inactivity, and
began to settle upon the body of the
COW again.
Tommy did not dare to start back on
foot for the ranch house; he knew
that he would be fired upon the mo-
ment he exposed himself, and the
plain was too open to permit of his
crawling out of gunshot u%nobserved.
Although he was suffering from both
heat and thirst, there was nothing for
him to do except to watch and wait.
At last his vigilance was rewarded.
From a point a hundred yards down
the canyon a black head, bound with
a dirty rag, was cautiously thrust out
over the edge of the vertical wall.
For ten minutes it remained absolutely
motionless; the eyes alone rolled to

BY the more extensive use Of labor
saving machinery in the United States
the production per man per day Is far
greater than in Great Britain and
hence 1t Is that wages are from two to
three times as high in the United
States as in Great Britain. The nation
al income of the producers in the Unit
ed States Is four times that Of the
United Kingdom, although the popula-
tion is only twice as large. Americas
enormous wealth is not due to its vast
area and boundless resources, but to
the increasing improvement and super
ior productive capacity of its labor
saving machinery, to its factories and
not to its prairies. High wages in the
United States have not increased the
cost, for they are compensated for BY
the large output. American high wages
have not made everything dear to the
consumer, but they have provided him
with commodities Of every kind little,
If at all, higher than in England. The
consumption of commodities in general
is far greater in the United States than
in England. owing to the economy of
high wages Great Britain is no long
er the workshop Of the world. She oc-
cupies only the third place in industri-
al production, and to regain her old
position she must understand the
economy Of high wages, making for ef-
ficiency and plenty.

Matter of Thirst.-Senator Thomas
Sterling, Of South Dakota, expansively
smiled the other day when one of the
party in a Washington gabfest refer
red to the traditional thirst of the Indi-
an, relates the Chicago Record Herald.
He said that he was reminded Of lit
tie incident that recently happened in
the far west.
A man who had been travelling
through the Indian country, according
to the senator, met a friend on his re-
turn home and was telling him Of his
experience on the trip.
1T is simply wonderful" related the
man, "how those Indians love whisky
They will make most any sacrifice to
get it. One day I met one crossing the
plains on a pony and he offered me his
bride for a drink.
"Offered you his bride? was the
amazed rejoinder of the friend. you
don't really mean it,"
yes" responded the other, "and
when refused he offered me the bri-
die and the saddle and the pony"
"It seems almost incredible" CON-
mented the friend. "Of course you ac-
cepted a great chance like that"
mot on your life!" was the emphatic
rejoinder Of the traveller. Il had only
one drink left"

came the first American road to be
owned by the government. So econom-
ically and efficiently has 1t been con-
Quoted since then that it is cited as an

ship of all our railways
The building Of the canal and espe-
ciaIly the creation of the artificial Ga
tun lake made necessary the relocation
of the Panama railroad along most of
its route. The old roadbed now is un-
der water for much of the way, the old
line still in use being only about seven
miles in length, from Colon to Mindi
and from Corozal to Panama. From
Mindi to Gatun the grade ascends to
ninety five feet above tide level. From
Gatun the road runs east until 1t Is
four and a half miles from the canal.
and then south again on great embank-
ments across the Gatun valley.
Along this stretch passengers obtain
an unusual view. Because of the con-
struction Of the Gatun dam across the
channel Of the Chagres river the Cha
gres valley and all its tributary val
leys have been, converted into a lake
with an area Of about 164 square miles.
The Gatun valley Is one Of these drown
ed arms, and as the train crosses, wide
stretches Of water are to be seen on
both sides Of the track. Down below
the surface are still visible the tops OF
giant trees that have been killed by
submergence, and along the edges OF
the lake the tallest and hardest of the
trees reach their dead limbs above the
waters. Here and there Is pretty
little island that not long ago was the
summit of hill, and the shore line is
most picturesquely broken up by capes,
peninsulas and bays. ...
From Monte Lirio the line skirts the
shore Of the lake to the beginning Of
the Culebra cut at Bas Obispo. Orig
inally it was intended to carry the rail-
road through the Culebra cut on 40
foot beam along the east side, ten feet
above water level, but this plan was
knocked out by the slides and breaks.
The line was carried around Gold Hill
to a distance Of two miles from the
canal until 1t reached the Pedro Miguel
valley, down which 1t runs to Paraiso
and the canal again. Thence 1t runs
almost parallel with the channel to
Panama. There are two big steel
bridges on the line One. near Monte
Lirio, has a center lift span to permit
access to the upper arm of Gatun lake;
the other, quarter Of mile long,
across the Chagres river at Gamboa.
The total cost of building the new line
of the railway was $S.S66.392. In addi-
ton, large sum has been expanded
in increasing the terminal facilities.
OF course, even after the canal Is
opened, the railway will have a good
deal of business, transporting people
and goods between Colon and Panama,
and serving the needs Of the operating
forces of the canal. But its days of
glory have departed, and ]. A. Smith

general superintendent, recognizing
that fact, has resigned and returned

Beyond a Doubt.-While rambling
around among the animals with his
father one afternoon, little Johnny
came to a miniature lake on which two
swans were swimming.
Papa" said Johnny, pointing
chubby little finger out over the lake "is
that the father swan or the mother
swami"
(which one do you mean johnny
asked the old man, glancing in the di-
rection indicated by the boy.
Il mean the one over there" answer
ed Johnny. The one with all the
feathers pecked off his head. and isn't
allowed to have the biscuit, or any
thing?"
"Yes, my son." promptly rejoined
papa, with just a suspicion Of a sigh.
That's the father swan all right

The Soap Eater-Alfred Noyes, the
English poet tossed aside with bitter
laugh a roast of his last book, relates
the Houston Post.
/. "This critic" he said, reminds me
OF the old gentleman with the cold
only this critics cold is permanent
and, by Jove, he's not aware he's got
1t.
"At a club one day / was taking a
wash and brush-up, when noticed an
old gentleman nibbling a cake Of soap.
After each nibble he would chew the
soap thoughtfully, and then, smiling
and nodding his head, he would say:
THANK heaven, it's all right
"I asked the old gentleman what on
earth he was up to. He explained, as
he nibbled away at a large pink cake:
"'Well, you see, I've had such rot
ten bad cold for the last fortnight that
it's quite taken away my taste. Every
day, to see If was improving, I've
nibbled soap. This afternoon, for the
first time, 1 find the soap has q quite

PERSONAL EXAMPLE
It is Easier to Do Things When q
Leader Shows the Way.

u Is Easier TO 10 IniH9S WHcU
Leader Shows the Way.
How often 1t has been said Of an
idolized military leader that he would
not ask his men to do anything that
he would not do himself. 1t is, as a
rule, not the captains Of industry, but
the privates in the ranks and the petty
officers who demur when their duty is
written in lines of living light before
their eyes. The subordinate who will
never be anything but subordinate
is always willing to let some one else
60 first, bear the brunt, stand the
gaff," endure the burden and heat OF
the day. How comfortable 1t is to
repose in the shade. on the other side
Of the wall that divides us from the
field of action where manful blows are
given and returned! How much more
convenient and agreeable It Is to let
the leader do 1t all, and assume the
blame If things go wrong; we take the
credit if all goes we'll. For the failure
he is penalized; for the success we are
rewarded. If defeat stares us in the
face we beat a retreat pell-mell, and
let him confront the foe alone; If we
see that the rising tide Of battle prom
ises glory, we struggle to be at the
crest Of the shoreward wave.
Xenophon, the Greek historian and
warrior was leading his soldiers to the
sea after the death Of their kingly
commander in. the heart Of Asia Mi
nor. In the snowy mountains of the
land that is now Armenia they were
rebellious, as the sailors Of Columbus
disbelieved and muttered. They would
not even cut firewood to put new life
in their stiffening bodies; with fatal
istic expectation they awaited the
scythe of the Reaper while the snow
fell and the wind and wild animals
howled about their tents, and the hu-
man foe was imminent. Xenophon'
sleepless in his tent, pondered upon
their dilemma. OF a sudden he said
to himself: "Why do lie here? For
the night is passing-and with the
break Of day it is probable that the
enemy will be upon u.s." With that
he issued from his tent, seized an axe
and began to chop wood, setting an
example to the men that they were
ashamed not to follow. The effect was
electrical, as when Caesar called on
his centurians by name and took the
weapon from one who hesitated and
rushed into the front rank Of the
fighting-or. to cite modern instance
as when "Phil" Sheridan galloped to
the front in that immortal ride from
Winchester.
They say Of him who reached the
North Pole that he has never uttered
a command he would not obey. That
Is the secret of the leader Of men,
Save he serve, no man may rule
One who shows the way is worth vol
umes of impersonal precept. His men
love him and are loyal, and will fol-
low him to any fate.-Philadelph

He Meant Weil.-Lowell Sherman,
theatrical man, hoped on an Eighth

Sorry, miss" the man in the uni
form said, "but you'll have to pay or
get off,"
But, conductor" began the dark
eyed queen imploringly, IF you'll give
me your name and address I'll send you

Can't do it." he replied. Its pay

That was where Mr.. Sherman came
to the front.
May I be of service to you?" he
asked sweetly.
"oh, yes, sir" she answered. please
lend me a nickel"

Then he found he didn't have red
cent. The conductor put them both
off.-New York Telegraph.

ECONOMY OF HIGH WAGES
A Comparison of Industrial Conditions
Here and in England.

Comparison OF Industrial Conditions
Here and in England.
In the Fortnightly Review for Au-
gust, T. Ellis Barker writes Of Great
Britain's Poverty and Its Causes" One
matter Of interest in this country is
his table comparing industrial produc-
ton in general in Great Britain with
that Of the United States. He shows
that the United States produces
Five times as many boots and shoes.
Five times as much butter and
cheese.
Four times as much cement.
Three times as much clothing.
Ten times as many clocks and
watches.
Five times as much cutlery.
Ten times as much firearms and am
munition.
Four times as many gloves.
Three times as many hats and caps.
Five times as much hosiery.
Three times as much leather.
Three times as much paints. colors
and varnishes.
Four times as much paper.
Four times as many pens and pen
ellis.
Ten times as much printing and pub
fishing.
Three times as many railway cars.
Nine times as much silk.
Two times as much soap and cam
dies.
Only in cotton goods had Great Bri-
tain a slight, but very slight advan-
tage, rapidly disappearing, unless the
new tariff reduces American production
and increases that of Great Britain.
The American manufacturing indus
tries produce from three to five times
as much as do the British and with a
smaller number of workers. For in
stance, in the United Kingdom 1856
workers produce 9S62,000 worth of
matches, while in the United States
1851 workers produce G2,270,000 worth
The wage Garner in Great Britain pro-
duces an average Of ELI worth of
boots and shoes, while in the United
States he produces G516 worth. In all
the industries enumerated the produc-
tion per worker is two or three times
greater in the United States than in
England. The explanation is the great
er use of more and better power and
machinery in the United States. One
thousand boot and shoe operatives In
the United Kingdom work with 172
horsepower, and in the United States
with 4S6; 1000 cardboard workers en-
ploy ia horsepower in England as
against 594 in the United States. Hand
labor is proportionately so cheap in
Great Britain that 1t Is not worth
while to introduce labor saving ma
chinery. The British cotton industry,
the most efficient there, is mechanical
ly far behind the American. To. the in
efficiency of British industries is due
the lowness of British wages.
