CtOries of
GREAT
INDIANS
GERONIMO, THE WORST IN.
DIAN WHO EVER LIVED"
By ELMO o WATSON

XXTEBSTER'S dictionary contains at
w least one Internationally grim
BIZ Of humOr. Geronimo, a Chiricahua
Apache chief, flourished about 1880"
reads one entry In The Biographical
section. Just how well this Geronimo
"tlourished' only the residents of New
Mexico and Arizona and the soldiers
who chased him can tell. They called
him the Indian Devil" the Apache
Terror and the worst Indian who
ever lived His mother named him
G0-Yath-Lay, The Yawner'; the Mex
leans nicknamed him Geronimo, Span
ish for Jerome.
Like Sitting Bull of the Sioux,
Geronimo was a much pr~ess-agented
and eventually a highly-overrated In
dian. Although he was a daring war
leader, he was not a chief. The mas
sacre Of his whole family by Mexicans
in the early COS sent him on the war
path against them. The laundering
policy Of our government towards the
Apaches was largely responsible for
his hostility toward Americans.
1t is difficult to justify thus some
of the crueltles practiced by Geroni-
mo and his Chiricahua warriors, past
masters In the art of hideous torture.
This Is what they did to one prospect
or, who had been wounded but not
fatally: Cutting off the sOles Of his
feet the Apaches staked him down
over Il red ant hill. There, instead Of
killing him, they let the ants finish
the job.
When the government tried to settle
the Chlricahuas on the San Carlos
reservation, Arizona, In 1876, Geronimo
and some Of the other young leaders
fled to Mexico. He came on the reser-
walton later, but from that time until
1884 1t was a case Of 'on again, off
again" with Geronimo. Then he led
our soldiers a merry chase Of more
than 5000 miles all over the Southwest
and In 1886 was finally brought to bay
In Mexico by Capt. II. W. Lawton.
Geronimo acquired his widest notork
ETY. while he vas Il prisoner Of war at
Fort Sill, Okla. He was taken to the
Buffalo and Omaha expositiOns, but he
vas still a hostile at heart and turned
his face away from the crowds. In
1903 he adopted the Christian religion
and became a devous church-goer. He
Joined a Wild West show and in 1904
he attended the st. Louis exposition,
where he almost got writer's cramp
from printing his autograph to sell.
The last years of his life were spent
In trying to persuade the government
to return him to his old home In Ari-
IONA. He was unsuccessful and wheA
he died February 81, 1909, although he
had gone on his last war trail nearly
a quarter of a century before, he was
still a prisoner Of war.

CHIEF NAICHE CURES HIS
WIFE'S JEALOUSY

NVOU are jealous Of your sister.
L That Is bad" said Naiche, chief
OF the Chiricahua Apaches, to the elder
of his two wives one day. II will cure
YOU" SO he threw a cartridge into
the chamber of his rifle and shot her
through the knees. Marital troubles Of
that sort seemed to run in Matches
family. An army officer who visited
old Cochise, his father, in 1873 in the
Dragon mountains, Arizona, noticed
that the chiefs hand was badly burned
In two circular holes. He asked about
them and Cochise explained that they
had been made by his younger wife,
who vas jealous of the older. She had
bit him so badly that he had to cauter-
lie the wound.
Because Cochise's son was constant
~ leading his playmates into trouble
he was given the name Na-ai-che,
which means "mischievous," or "med-
dlesome," a prophetic name. When old
Cochise died and the craftsmanship
passed on to Nalche he more than up
held the traditions Of his family.
He first made his name known In
1881, when he led his Chiricahua war
riors on devastating raids all over the
Southwest. This band was known as
"Geronimo's band" although, as a mat
ter of fact, Naiche was the real chief
and Geronimo merely a warrior leader
of considerable renown. For five years
they went their bloody way. Then. in
1886, Geronimo was finally cornered
and forced to surrender to General
Miles.
Naiche did not surrender until a dav
later. He felt that 1t was appropriate
for him, son Of the great CochiSe and
first chief of the C~hiricahuas, to be the
last to lay down arms and cease fight
ing the white man whom he and his
fathers had fought for two centuries.
When the hostile Chiricahuas were
finally settled at Fort Sill as prisoners
of war they looked to Naiche as their
leader. "He was a most ~forceful and
reliable man, a proud and self-respect-
ing chieftain," was Gen. Hugh SCOTS
tribute to him. Naiche became a men,
Der of the Indian police force and
proved to be a faithful officer. Like
Geronimo, he accepted Christianity and
thereafter always signed his name
"Christian Naiche." He was signing 1t
when he cured his wife Of jealousy!
After years of pleading, the Chlri.
cahuas finally were allowed to return
| to Arizona, and in 1913 Naiche had the
satisfaction of leading his people back
to their ancestral homes. They settled
| on the Mescalero reservation.

through inability or unwillingness. hut

But why should it be an event? Why

Recently an excellent method Of
keeping the streets always in repair
has been put into operation. Why

streets but of yards, lots and other

pften is nullitied or made difficult by
me careleSSneSs of individuals who

and generally Objectionable.
Keeping a city beautiful and clean
al the year around does not stop with
the operation of any city department.
1t becomes a part of the civic duty of
every individual; it must be checked
up to every home us well as to a
health or street cleaning department.
1t may become a matter of habit with
the people. 1t should be prompted by
pride; a regard for the rights of neigh.

LOOK TO COMMUNITY'S NEEDS
What Has Been Accomplished at Fort
Scott, Kansas, May Be Cited as
Case in Point.

Half a dozen years ago there we're
two years when the wheat around Fort
Scott did not come to harvest and, az
wheat was the only product of the
community the town was left fiat.
Even the merchants closed their stores
and moved away.
The chamber of commerce decided
that the community needed more di-
versity Of production. 1t studied the
situation and decided that the dairy In.
duStry would fit logically into It's
scheme. The farmers owned only
scrub cattle, bat despite This the cham
Der went down to Kansas City and
Induced the big milk users to establish
three shipping stations il the Fort
territory. The farmers were much
surprised to find that they could
get money for milk which formerly
had been used only as sWill for hogs.
Then the chamber of commerce took
It's second step. 1t organized an ex-
curSion and took forty of its most
progressive farmers to that part Of
Wisconsin where the dairy industry Is
most highly developed. 1t showed
them just what tirst-class dairy farms
and first-class dairy cattle were and
how such an enterprise Is properly
operated.
But the chamber did not stop here.
1t raised enough money to buy a train
load Of the best milk COWS it could
find in the United States, had them
shipped to Fort Scott and sold to the
farmers at cost, which was less than
the price they would have had to pay
II they had bought individually. Last
year this community sold half a mil.
Hon dollars worth Of milk alone. That
wealth would not have come to Fort
Scott but for the sale Of milk. It
VIII be spent among the business peO-
pie who make up its chamber of com
merce. The country roundabout has
Just completed the laying of 225 miles
of improved roads, a thing that the
farmers had formerly refused to
finance. The whole community Is
transforming itself. All of which
comes of taking thought of community
needs and proceeding to supply them.

MANURE WILL HELP PASTURE
Top Dressing Often viii Bring About
improvement Where Grasses
Are Undeveloped.

When pasture begins to fail 1t may
often be improved without ploughing
by topdressing the land literally with
barnyard manure or acid phosphate
with lime. This is usually the case
where the pasture has plenty Of the
good pasture grasses which, however,
are poor and ~undeveloped. A top
dressing on such a pasture will not
only bring a good crop Of grass in
two Or three years but also drive out
some of the weeds that overrun the
rundown pasture lands. This top
dressing will be better than reseeding
where the soil is exhausted.
Where there is q decided dearth of
good grasses, liberal applications Of
manure may be combined with plow-
ing and ~reseeding. Where 1t is neces-
sary to pillow as we'll as topdress with
a manure and fertilizer, it IS a good
idea to grow a crop. of potatoes or oats
or perhaps b~uckwheat. Such a crop
will pay the cost Of r~eseeding, then
the following year a good crop of hay
can be taken off, and after that good
~pasturage may be had for many years.

M or SEA CREATURES
Coral the Result Of Work of the
PoIype-Some Islands Built En-
tireIy Of the Material.

Coral liz the home built for itself
by a tiny sea creature known as the
polype, which resembles the sea ane-
none, but is much smaller. Multftudes
Of them construct their houses side
by side on a rock, and In course Of
time the colony may grow until 1T Is
miles In length. In the warm south
ern seas there are many islands made
entirely Of coral. They stand for the
most part In waters Of great depth,
where there Is nc shelving beach. The
smallest of these islands, 1t has been
estimated, is the work Of a colony of
these creatures outnumbering many
times the human population of the
world.
AS it is known that the polype
cannot live in water Of a great depth,
the manner in which these islands
were constructed has perplexed scien-
lists for centuries, for it Is obvious
they cannot have beer built up from
the bottom Of the vast depths In which
they now stand.
1t was the view Of Darwin that
when the polype colony first came,
the top Of the rock was but a few
feet below the surface Of the water.
AS the rock sank, the creatures below
died because they could not endure
the pressure Of deep water. But
their homes remained, and succeed
ing generations built upward, keep
ing pace with the downward prog
ress of the rock.
