DRIVING THE BOYS To THE CITIES.

| DOthan, Alabama, is one of the huStline
and thriving cities of the New South. 1t has
about g 900 inhabitants and is growing. II
supports two daily papers and otherwise
seems to be shaking off the lethargy which is
popularity supposed to have kept back most
southern towns. But Dot,lan like many other
towns has its milestone in the shape of puri-
tanical reformers- sour-souled creatures who
cannot bear to see others enjoying them
lives. For a month past it has been the GUS
m for the boys and young men of the town
t. gather every afternoon on what might be
c lied the S'vilIage green' and amuse them
Ives with impromptu boxing matches. 1t
was great sport and many of the business
men stopped for a few moments to watch the
young fellows give and take with the gloves.
No Ole was hurt, no morals were spoiled, the
fun was being had on the maip street and abb
solutely in the open. There were no prizes
nor gambling-just good, clean, heaIthful,
manly sport. 1t harmed nobody and benefit
ed many. But just as il was becoming an in
stitution, enter the reformer. Boxing? Hor-
riDle! Stop it at once!'' The sheriff was no
titled. The law stepped in and the young men
were forbidden to continue their sport. The
sheriff says he acted upon complaint. Dol
lars to buttons the complainant is the To vn
Kicker, probably man who has done more
to hold Dotilan back than any other ten men
in the community. The bows will doubtless
continue to hold their boxing matches, but
will sneak away, like law-breakers, to some
secluded barn or back room where they will
continue until driven from those places. And
they will resent the interference, they will
blame the poor sheriff, then will become sore
on the town and after few more such expe-
rienceS, will shake the dust of Dothan from
their feet and will strike out for the larger
cities, where they think there will not be so
much interference with their personal liber-
ties 1t is too bad. There is no harm in
boxing when it is carried on as the Dothan
boys conducted the sport. The Y. M. c. A.
all over the country encourage boxing. 1t IS
an art that has made men of weddings, that
has put vim and ginger into boys who might
have become mollycoddes and it has saved
thousands from personal injury if not death
at the hands of thugs. If Dothan has man
or a number of men who want to counterfeit
the bad influences of the puritancal reformer
or reformers who prohibited the boxing, let
them get together and furnish place where
the boys may meet, under proper direction
and supervision, and hold their boxing con-
tests and their other clean, manly sports.
That's the way to- keep the young fellows
from flocking to the cities. Other towns are
doing it and are reaping the benefits. In the
latter class of towns the reformerS are going
to seed They can find nothing to reform.

AND HE RAN.

Two little boys went out nrtting
one day, and as they were coming
home they passed a graveyard, and
climbed over the fence to count
their nuts and divided them equally
between themselves. But as they
climbed over, two nuts fell on the
outside of the fence. and they said,
I'VE will get them when we come
back.'
They began in a slow, sing-song
voice, 'One for you an one for
mean one for you an one for
me-" when a negro passed by and

The old medicine man had beer
persuaded almost to the point of sell
ing his buffalo shield, memorial Of
many generations Before the tipi
where he and the white man had
passed hours in bartering a great
crowd of Crow Indians was assem-
bled. Finally the temptation offered
was too great and the Indian hand
ed over the shield.
The white man took the worn buff
falo hide in his hand and began to
examine it. First he noticed the rope
which bound the package. 1t was
woven from buff to hair, process
of passing generations. Then with
care he united the rope. unwound
the buffalo hide and took the old
shield torn, puDctured with arrow
tips, painted and adorned with med
icipe SKINS and began to examine
the prize Suddenly possessed by
the desire to make an immediate
payment, he placed the shield on
the ground and reached for his
pocket.
Instantly an angry shout arose
from all the bucks assembled. Men
and women then began to use their
most evil curses on the unfortunate
visitor.
Baff1ed and at a loss to under
stand the sudden uproar. the white
man grabbed the shield and insisted
on the right to it. Finally the hub
bub quieted down and Carlisle
student who was acting as inter-
prefer, said excitedly:
Doctor, you have done wrong,
you have not acted right to these
people. They say terrific storm
will come to them. You put the
medicide shield on the ground. Mis-
fortune will come"
DR.. S. Chapman Simms, assistant
curator of ANTHOLOGY at the Field
Museum, the white trader of the in
cident, continues the story:
Il knew several of the Crow faboOs
and naturally had tried to observe
them. This one was strange to me.

dren i'm all-go with him to the res
ervation. There new troubles set in
The Klamath and other Indians thai
were already on the reservation al
once made life miserable for the
newcomers. To avoid war and to
stop the persecution of his tribe-folk
Jack gathered his people together,
fled by night from the reservation
and went back to the lava beds. But
they found their old lands had been
given to white men. The Modocs
were homeless, friendless and beset
by enemies.
A company of soldiers was sent
to evict Jack and his followers from
the lava beds. While the leaders
we're comforting a fight broke out be-
tween few soldiers and the In
dams. The conflict became general
Five were killed on each side and
many we're wounded. The Modocs
fled southwark destroying every
white settlement in their path. But
though white men and boys were
everywhere slain Jack would allow
no white woman or child to be
harmed. At last, with 70 braves
and many squaws and papooses, he
sought refuge in the lava caves of
Lost river. Colonel Wheaton, with
900 United States troops, came out
to dislodge him. Jack and his braves
sent the soldiers scurrying back in
hasty retreat, killing 35 of them.
Then an army under Gen. Candy
was brought up and besicged the
caves hoping to starve out the hand
full of plucky defenders. Jack even
yet hoped to make peace. All along
he had hated the idea of war, but
hostilities had always been forced
upon him. So he agreed to con-
ference with Candy, Meacham, DR..
and other white leaders. 1t
was arranged that five Indians and
five white men should meet I'M
armed, on April IL, 1873, at a neu-
raj SPOT between the lines. Whether
Jack suspected treachery or whether
le merely wished to avenge the
Ben Wright massacre cannot be I
znown. At any rate, he and four of 1
lis men went to the conference t
lrmed. They fired on the white
men, killing Candy and Thomas S

M0dOC Jack.

Today Modoc Jack is half forgot
ten. A generation ago his adven-
lures were everywhere told. Race
horses were named for him Small
boys secretly longed to go west and
capture him. He was held up rs
an example of true desperate.
Yet, as a matter of fact, he was
more of a man and less of a scoun-
drel than he has been painted.
The Modocs were an offshoot of
the klamath nation in California
They lived on a 65-mile strip of land
known as the lava BEDS This
ground was honeycombed with caves
AID tunnels, affording fine hiding
places in case of pursuit. The word
"Modoc" in the klamath dialect
means enemy and the Modocs
lived up to their name. They fought
their relatives, the Klamaths, for
years; then turned their attention
in 1850 to making life a peril for
California white sellers. Ben Wright,
a frontiersman, hit on a plan to
crush them. Pretending to make
peace, he invited 46 of the fore
most Modocs to a great feast in
1852.
AS the Indian guests lay asleep
after the banquet, Wright and his
comrades fell upon them with rifle
and knife, slaughterjng all but five of
the 46. This cold-blooded massacre
cowed the rest of the tribe for a mo-
ment, but it ended forever all hope
of friendship between the Modocs
and white men. The relatives of the
butchered Indians vowed vengeance
and bided their time. A swarthy
giant known to the settlers as Mo- !!
doc Jack, or Captain Jack, gathered
about him a band of Modocs. His
lieutenant was youth named
Schonchin, one of the five survivors
of the Ben Wright massacle. Schon-
chin was forever trying to stir up
strife against the white men. But
Jack sternly forbade any outbreak.
He believed in peace and refused to
put on the war bonnet. Yet he al
ways went heavily armed For,
though he desired peace with the
settlers, he trusted them no more
than did the other Modocs. Between
the task of ruling his people and diff
ficulty of curbing Schochin's plots
for warfare Jack had hard time
in keeping to the peaceful course he
had chosen.
All the local tribes were sum-
moned by Indian Commissioner
Meacham in 1866 to Fort klamath
for a conference. At this meeting
the Modocs agreed to leave their
lava beds and settle on the Klamath |
reservation Jack and Schonchin
wee not at the conference and they |
refuse to be bound by the promise. |
They stayed On with their followers,
at the lava beds But when the gov
eminent threatened to use force to
remove them Jack said 'Obedience
is better than war; and made his

FEDERAL TRUCKS GO TO WAR.

b%iiisation nj Nan COrtlRndt Park.

Many business men of New York who
use Fedora trucks in their business had
"a chance to see how Federal trucks
would work under war conditions during
the mobilization of the entire National
Guard of New York city, held in Van
Cortlandt Park OF Saturday. Septcm-
Der 20.
In order to execute the many war
and TO properly take care OF
transportation facilities the Seventh
Regiment, during this war game, used
| one of the new armored Federal trucks,
which attracted much attention from the
military experts who viewed the war
anne.
In the purely transportation depart
fnent OF the Seventh Regiment there was
also used n Federal with an armored
body and another with a special stake
body.
When questioned In regard 10 these
army Federals, G. X. Thomas, president
and general M of the Federal
Truck Company of New York. said
Heretofore We have not made any
special effort to capture war business,
preferring at all times to take care of
the large demand of our American GUS
toners. Many of these men are promi-
nent in American business concerns who
use Federal trucks and this has made 1t
necessary for us to devise special army
Fedcrals for the use Of many of the
