You have heard of old Geronimo, the famous

General Scott and Geronimo for three years came
near being "buddies.
You see after Lawson and Wood and the rest
of them had brought in Geronimo and his band
of Chiricahua Apaches, the problem of what to
do with them was difficult. Finally they were
held as prisoners at Fort Sill, and in 1894 Gen
eral Scott sent to take charge of them. He
remained on that duty three years, 1S94-97.
Here was a first-class ethnologsts laboratory

for study and observation. The keeper and the

Then, naturally, General Scott was ordered to
Washington for duty in the division of military
information and assigned to the bureau of eth

Higher in rank now, he just eager and

he was in those shavetail days of 1876 away off on
the Northwestern plains in studying Indians
And as General Wood tells it, very much of the
success of American administration in the island
was due to the thorough understanding of tie
people possessed by this Woodworking adjutant
and TO that adjutant generals sympathetic atti-
tude toward them.
Then to the Philippines major of the Third
cavalry went Scott, there again to justify his
reputation as "the greatest little pacifier in the
army" Equally apt in pacifying with machine
gun and with sympathetic acts and words Scott
once more demonstrated his many-sidedness.
1t is given to few men to be able to shoot up
a country and make the people like it. Scott Is
one of the few. He did that very thing in the
