thousands of Americans weep when
that novel was at the height Of its
popularity 20 years ago-the story of
peaceful people dwelling in vale
Of contentmert for centuries; then
the coming of the white man: the pa
thetic advances Of the red men to be
friends; but brutal disregard of the
Indians right TO life by the whites;
finally the fertile valley turned into
desert; and the once happy tribe, dis
persed and broken up, wandering as
nomads and beggars through the
towns and cities Of the southwest.
When white men discovered this
continent the Pimas we're probably
the most highly civilized Of all the
Indian tribes. They lived on a tract
of several thousand acres Of level val
ley land through which ran the ella
river. When the Spaniard Babezs de
Vaca discovered them in 1885 they
had been irrigating this land from the
ella for centuries. They were the only
American Indian tribe economically
independent Being farmers pure and
simple. they never went hungry. The
other Indians, hunters, were subject
continually To the bitter famine de
i scribed in Longfellow's Hiawatha
/ When the Spanish missionaries Wis.
tied the Pimas they became devout
Christians They also added sheep
raising to their farming And they
continued to thrive for three centuries
more-until 1890, when the first white
farmers came into the country smell
ing out fertile lands and stopping
where they saw the garden of the
Pimas made possible in that dry coun
try by the precious water of the ella
Then began the destruction Of Sa
eaton. the Pima reservation. The
whites went into the narrow valley
above the Indians and tapped the
river wherever they settled-frst the
Normons at Solomonsville. then Gen
tiles at Florence and at other points
BY 1905 Indian agents began warn
ing the government what was going
to happen, as colony after colony o
whites constructed their flimsy wing
dams and extended their irrigation
canals
The blow fell a year or so later
the first of seven years of drought
The river failed the Pimas almost en-
tirely; what water there was in thu
ella was diverted to the farms of tn,
whites farther up stream For sever
years the Indians planted their crop

Washington, Feb. lin its recent
attack On the reclamation service the
house committee on expenditures in
the interior department touched upon
the story OF the Pima indian tribe Of
Arizona-the most tragic story on the
dark page OF the history OF the white
mans inhumanity 20 his red brother
OF the southwest.
But now the friends OF the reclama-
ton service are rushing forward to
declare that Of all the government bu-
reaus the one under the direction OF
Frederick II. Newell is the only one
In which this shamefully treated tribe
has found a friend. All others have
been deaf to the Pimas' passionate
cry for justice
The story OF the Pimas is similar to
the one told in Ramona, which made

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE WICKED WITCH.

| NCE upon time there was a
II witch who lived in cave In
~ the forest. She did not like
any one or admire anything In
all the beautiful world. The spot where
she lived for mile around her cave
| was enchanted. and anyone who came
| within that mile would become what-
| ever she chose to make them.
| Sometimes a hunter came too close
to suit the old witch and she would
| turn him into a tree. II a bird flew
near her and sang louder than she
liked to hear 1t she turned it into a
| stone.
A beautiful stream OF water made too
much noise to suit her and one day she
| turned il into a mountain.
One day a prince came riding through
the forest on a black horse and stopped
to ask the way out of the forest and
because he did not give the old witch
as much gold as she thought he shoulc
when he rode away she turned him into
| a dragon and his horse into a heap OF
| stones.
The dragon she sent out into the for
! est to friGhten people and made his eye!
1 look like fire and his mouth to throw
out smoke. SO that to see him was
enough to make everyone who saw him
! run away.
One day when the old witch was feel
| ing more disagreeable than usual she
made the lightning and the thunder
| come into the forest. and the louder /,
sounded and the brighter the lightning
! flashed the louder she laughed and
h.
So excited she became that she did
not notice that she was dancing beyond
the mile that held her magic spell, and
when she was outside the thunder and
lightning ceased. This enraged the old
witch so that she called on all the
magic powers in the forest to come To
her aid.
The fairies and the gnomes and the
gobIins came hurryinG in answer to her
: call What do you want they asked.
When the old witch told them they
told her she was a wicked old witch
and refused to help her. But we will
take YOU back to your home said the
fairies. for you are an old woman and
should not he left alone this dark night
! even if you are witch.
The old witch chuCkled 10 herself
when she heard this. for she knew by
this time she was outside her magic
mile. and she thought II once she had
all the fairies and the gnomes and COB
lns within her magic mile she would
hold them in her power.
But this is where she was mistaken,
for they were near her cave and she
raised her hands and tried 10 raise the
fairies into stones and gust OF wind
blew her UP in the air and let her down
with a hang.
Then she tried to turn the Gnomes into
beetles. and again the wind took her

ems gradually as the storm passes, and

Domini and Boris, they tell Of their

whom she has visited in Beni Mora,
Count Anteoni and Father Roubier. The
count has suspicious concerning the
identity Of Boris. for he had met him
previously in his garden. but has not
been able to place him. After the
holy father has told him Of the Trap
pist monk who left his monastery. 10
all comes upon .tnteoni in a flash. He
had met Boris at the monastery many
years before. had received a blessins
from him. and promise to pray for
him every day. His was the voice, the
lcok. the gesture.
The others have left. He questions
and, ,cross-questions Boris, who becomes
more and more overwrought each mo-
ment. and. seeking to change the
course of the conversation, offers the
count some wine. The moment Afiteoni
raises it to his lips. the wonderful
scent of the crushed fruits brings back
the, scene with the monk. for that
which he drinks is the wine which the
monks made.
The count accuses him. and forces hin,
20 promise to .ell Domini that night.
The monk does so. in the long speech
of which I have spoken.
OF the work OF Mr. Butt I cannot
speak TOO high.y. The man tortured
with the though. of the great wrong
he had committed. ever seeking peace
and happiness. and finding il not. feel
ing that his guilt screamed at him from
every leaf and stone. is pitiabfe tfy-
ire, and Mr.. Butt has imbued il with
a personality which does not pass with
fhe closing of the play. There is only
one fault that can be found with this
drama. Many in the audience Who are
iinacquainted With the ways and for
malities OF monasteries cannot grasp
the attitude and sensations of the Trap
pist monk at once
The necessity Of showing those who
are strangers to the faith of the prin-
customs would be as effacious as thu
initial desert scene.

ing Domini, and portrays a true and
noble woman with fidelity and charm

high above the trees and down she came
near the heap OF stones which had Ones
been the horse the Prince had ridden.
Then the old witch thought OF the
dragon, and she called him to her and
told him 20 make the fire come from ais
his eyes and the smoke from his mouth
and destroy the fairies and the gnomes
and the soblins
The fairies stretched forth their wands
and the dragon disappeared. and there
stood the prince. The old witch began
10 tremble. for she saw that she had
gone beyond her powers.
How did it happen you were in the
form of a dragon?" asked the fairies.
The Prince told them, and showed th..G
the pile of stones that once had been his
horse. This they changed into a horso
again. and the fairies began TO touch
everything around with their wands.
Hunters appeared snd the beautiful
river took the place of the mountain,
birds began singing in the trees, bear-
tiful flowers began to spring up. ard
even the old Hitch's cave became a
beautiful house with trees and gardens
around ii.
\ queer looking twisted tree stood
near the house. and fearing that Nigh;

witch had cast her spell, the fairies
touched it. and there appeared beau

When the faries looked for the witch
che had disappeared and she was never
seen again.
The beautiful lady told them, that
the old witch had cast a spell over her
and her home because she refused 10
marry the son of the old witch, and that
she never could have escaped had the
old witch not summoned the fairies and
the others into her magic circle of a
mile. The prince fell In love with the
beautiful lady and they were married.
and the whole forest disappeared after
while and became a country where
the prince and princess reigned for
many years.
