nature of a bonus, and Geronimo has boon known to chuckle shrewdly nt the queer tactics of a Great Father who biros scouts to watch scouts. Geronimo was said by Indian fighters like General Miles, Leonard Wood and others to be the worst Indian that evor lived. It cost the United States Government $1,000,000 and hundreds of lives to canture him and nut him in Irons. Three times he surrendered and escaped before his final capture by John P. Clum, then an Indian agent, who was commissioned to do so bv the Washington department.

"Why He Huted The "Whiles. Geronimo's "donth hunts," the annual excursions for plunder and murder which the Apache chief carried on for many years, are still remembered with horrible distinctness by settlers of the Southwest. Geronimo was born on bis father ranch. away up on the tableland at the head of the Gila river, In Arizona. He was 10 vpnm nld hefore ho ever saw ft white man.

His grandfather had been a chief, ana Giatly, as the Apaches called Geronimo, early became a trusted man at the camp-fire councils. From the first he bated white men. He despised civilized customs and the dross of the paleface. This is his picturesque ac count of his first entry on the warpath: 'I got married," he saivs, "and sup ported my wife and my family by hunting, I bought horses. The valleys and the tablelands of theOila are prood places for horses.

I always liked horses for hunting. and was getting rich. One day some Mexl cans came to our village to steal while I was on a hunt. During the fight they killed my wife and my two papooses, about 3 and 5 years old. "When I came back and found my wife dead and my children dead it made my heart sorry for myself and hard for the Mexicans." Geronimo became the merciless enemy of the Mexicans and the palefaces, and for 25 years he was dreaded as a scourge, The Mexicans believed he was a god, and used to sacrifice their cattle In the hope of appeasing his wrath.

From the rocky fastnesses of the Gila river he sallied out at intervals with his band of Chiricahuas, the fiercest of the Apaches, to murder nnd to torture victims who were not so for tunate as to be killed nt once. Of Wonderful Endnrnnce. His endurance was wonderful. Once he rode horseback 500 miles without rest On another occasion he ran 40 miles on foot in a day to escape from his pursuers. He made an excursion of 1,200 miles with his band in a month, murdered 50 settlers nnd reached his mountain lair in safety before the United States troops were on his trail.

Sergt. James G. Warren, who saw Gero nimo at the height of his power ns an out law, declares that his face was then of demoniacal ferocity. Ills fury knew no bounds, nis temper was so terrible that he frothed at the mouth when eninged. If a horse did not do as he wished he killed it.

If squaws displeased him be or dered them put to death. In six years 425 white settlers half the population of Ari zona at that tinu? were murdered by Geronimo and his band. The last death trail In which Geronimo encaeed was In 18S5. He and his band killed a rancher named Becker in Arizona, torturing his wife and children to death, Before the party of Indians left the war path they killed 76 settlors. For years General Crook, king of Indian fighters, had camped on the wily Indian's trail, and in 1883 he persuaded Geronimo and his people to settle peaceably for two years on the Mexican border.

Then came the terrible outbreak of 1883, and Crook asked to be relieved of command. Surrendered To Lawton And Miles. General Miles, now commander-in-chief of the army, succeeded him and began the most tireless campaign ever waged against the redskins. Aided by the late General Lawton, then captain, he succeeded In snaring Geronimo in 1886. Geronimo and the remnant of his fighters were run to earth on the Yaqul river, in a section of the country almost impassable for man or beast.

Their camp was located on a sman tableland bordered by the river on one side and surrounded for the rest by high cliffs that no human being could ever scale The only points of entrance were from the river up or down. Ofiicers under Captain Lawton crept up nnd from a bluff 2,000 feet above looked down upon the enemy. All the fires were burning, the horses grazing and the In dians enjoying a swim In the river. Word was dispatched Immediately to the troops and they hurried to close up the exits by water. Unfortunately an Indian lookout caught sight of the red band on the hat of one of the scouts.

Geronimo's party fled precipitately up the river. Negotiations were opened between the Indians and the troops. One morning at daybreak Geronimo, Natches nnd a dozen other Indians came into camp. Geronimo, haughty as a conqueror, gazed about him. Then he rushed up to Gen eral La.wton and hugged him vigorously.

"You are the man I want to talk with, he said. After parleys lasting several days, dur ing which Lawton's men believed them selves in danger of suffering the fate that finally befell Crook's band, Geronimo agreed to surrender formally to General Miles. In his "Personal Reminiscences" Gen eral Miles thus describes Geronimo at the time of the Chief's surrender: "Geronimo rode into our camp nnd dis mounted. He was one of the brightest, most resolute, determined-looking men that I have ever encountered. He had the clearest, sharpest dark eye I think I have ever seen.

"Every movement Indicated power, en ergy and determination. In everything he did he had a purpose. "The Indians that surrendered with Geronimo have probably never been matched since the days of Robin Hood. They were clad In such a way as to disguise themselves as much as possible. Masses of grass, bunches of weed, twigs of small boughs were fastened under their hatbands very profusely, and also upon their shoulders and backs.

"When lying upon the ground In a bunch of grass or at the head of a ravine, if they remained perfectly silent, it was as impossible to discover them as if they had been a bird or a serpent." In Captivity. Since being a prisoner Geronimo lost, in a measure, his ferocious appearance, and his face took on something of the dignity of a red Napoleon. Lion-like courage, determination, steadfast purpose still lit up the strong face, and to a degree concealed its wonderful cunning. He was an inveterate gambler and a good one. He was never bluffed, and was game to the last dollar.

A favorite trick of his was to explain that his eyesight was extremely bad. Then he would pin a bit of white paper up as a target and offer a white man S10 for every time the white man hit it with a pistol shot. "But you must give me $10 every time I hit it," added Geronimo. And Geronimo, in spite of his failing eye JIgbt, never missed the mark.

While searching for Oscnr Donovan, charged with stabbing William Werkheiscr here last night, Robert Simmons, aged 40 years, a Pennsylvania Railroad policeman, was struck by a train in the freight yards at Gray's Ferry, on the outskirts or rnna-delphia, early this morning, and instantly killed.

WAS A PRISONER FOR 21 YEARS Cliased Thousands Of Miles, And It Cost The Government A Vnst Amount To Catch Him. Lawton, Feb. IT. Geronimo, the noted Apache Indian chief, died today at Fort Sill, where he had been confined as a prisoner of war for 21 years. Geronimo died of pneumonia at the hospital.

He will be buried in the Indian cemetery near the fort tomorrow by Christian missionaries. He professed religion three years It is a curious coincidence that news of Geronimo's death, was sent out from Law-ton, which was named after the late Henry F. Lawton, who, as a lieutenant in General Miles' command, led the 3.000-mile chase that resulted in the Apache chief's surrender. The chase after Geronimo was begun at Omaha in January, 1SS5. General Miles, in command of the Department of the Missouri, received instructions to rout the band of Indians headed by Geronimo and kill or capture its chief.

General Miles began operations by organizing an expedition consisting of the Second, Eighth and Ninth Infantry and the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Cavalry, the horsemen In charge of Lieutenant Lawton. The expedition was gotten under way in January, 1SS5, but the capture of Geronimo and his band was not made until nearly two years later. Since he has been confined at Fort Sill Geronimo has made many attempts to gain his liberty. Early in 1908 he made a trip to Washington with some of his followers lu an effort to interest President Roosevelt in his case. The old Indian was unsuccessful, however, and to the last he was full of bitter hatred for the white man.

At the time of his death Geronimo wa 86 years old. One daughter, Lola, wht lives In Oklahoma, survives him. Called The Unman Tiger. Geronimoj who was named by General Miles "The Human Tiger," was the most bloodthirsty of all the United States officers and troops to contend against in a history of 200 years of bloody Indian warfare. Although nominally a captive, he had been free practically ever since his removal from captivity in the Florida everglades to barracks at Fort Sill.

Although under a constant surveillance, he had a small farm and received $35 a month as "government scout." This sum was In the Kenton's baby the chances are she'll never speak to me again," he muttered. "I know hers is the prettiest, but how under the sun am I to know which is hers babies all look pretty much alike to me!" With the slip of ribbon clutched between his trembling fingers he began to scan intently, hopefully, one by one, the faces of the babies. He found no distinguishing marks on me nrst. three, but at the fourth he hesitated and his breath came faster. Surely those large, inquiring blue eyes were the eyes of Mrs.

Kenton, and of a certainty that delicate, finely chiseled little nose was very like the hose of Mrs. Kenton. Here's where I win hands down!" he breathed, stifling his conscience. "I don't care a rap whether this chap is really the oest looKing or not he gets the prize." He reached out his arms toward the child, when a voice behind stopped him lm-j um-j um-jim ma-ma It was certainly his name as Dlain as baby accents could get it. He turned to behold a lively tot pawing the air with his chubby hands.

"Jim-Jum-ma-ma!" the baby cried, de- ugntea at being noticed. Vith one swoop Barton grabbed the cmid, for the first glance told him beyond aouDt that this was Mrs. Kenton's babv. With the youngster in his arms he rushed down the stairs and broke in upon the startiea young mothers. "Ladies," he exclaimed triumphantly.

"I pick tnis cnua as tne prettiest of all!" "Oh, you dear, dear man!" whisnered tne nostess taking the baby into her arms and kissing him energetically. But Barton did not answer until all the other mothers had gone. Then he said the thing most natural. "Don't you think your boy might be taught to say 'papa'?" he asked with more sincerity than humor in his voice. "Perhaps replied Mrs.

Kenton, smil ing "Come, Henry," she coaxed, "say "papa' lor mamma, won't you?" But Henry only cooed "Jim-Jum-mam-ma-Jim!" NEW YORK HOTEL ARRIVALS Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Feb. 17. Among the Balti more and Washington arrivals at New York hotels are: FROM BALTIMORE. Albert C.

WHITMAN. tire Malt one essential bird. "Wake up, Bill and Ora. There's a fire. Ain't fires Mrs.

Simpson, whose name is Ora, tried to quiet the bird by calling to her, but her lurid dissertation continued until she finally arose. Opening the door Mrs. Simpson was almost overcome by smoke. She at once aroused her husband and sister and they made for the front window, where they escaped along the coping to the roof next door. A passerby turned In an alarm and Simpson returned to rescue the macaw.

When the firemen arrived a search was made in the smoke-filled room for Simpson. A gasping, but distinct, sentence which shocked the firemen was heard, and, guided by this, the firemen found Simpson almost unconscious from smoke, with Laura seated on his shoulder, very weak, but still conversational. She had bitten Simpson several times because he did not hurry. The man and the bird were taken to the where Laura's language became so naughty that she had to have her bill tied to keep her still. All the other birds were killed by the smoke.

and Mrs, Kenton repulsed his seriousness with a flirtatious laugh. "Let's see! Why, you've known me only a month," the pretty widow objected. "You've never even seen the rest of the family!" "You mean Henry?" he said. "Of course, I mean Henry!" she exclaimed. "Who else could I mean? The very idea of your starting to propose to me, Mr.

Barton, without ever having seen Henry. The man who loves me must love him, too. He must think that Henry Is the handsomest, finest little fellow in the world. "Oh, you don't realize what such a baby as Henry means to a young mother. He is her joy, her hope, her life, Mr.

Barton. The man she loves must share her feelings about her child you understand, don't The man nodded. "But how am I to share your love for the child how am I ever to meet him if you don't give me the chance?" he demanded. "I call in the evening and the nurse is just putting him to bed. I stop by in the afternoon and you and Henry have gone out for a ride.

"Something always happens to keep Henry out of my sight. I've about come to believe that he is a myth, a prattling phantom that willfully eludes me." "How can you, Mr. Barton, use the Word 'prattling when speaking of Henry?" she demanded, trying to keep a serious face. "The little dear doesn't prattle he talks!" "Indeed?" he exclaimed. "I hardly thought he was old enough to" "Certainly he's old enough," she interrupted.

"He can say 'mamma' just beautifully, and at present I'm concentrating my energies on getting him to say 'dear mamma' and 'nursie' and other necessary words. The light of inspiration flashed over James Barton's face. "Why don't you teach him my name?" he asked eagerly. "It's very easy just Jim, you know. Then when Henry and I do get acquainted, we'll start on terms of friendship without any preliminaries!" "Oh, what an idea she cried.

"Why, of course, Henry shall be taught to say Jim." Barton noticed with a thrill the blush that tinged her cheek even as her tongue hesitated at the name. "Well, when shall I see him?" he asked. "Let me make an engagement with you and Henry. "Let me see this is the twentieth, isn't it?" she mused. "Well, on the first of next month, in the afternoon, the Young Mothers Club meets at my house: You can come around then and have tea with us.

Henry will be wearing his best frock in your honor." "Fine and dandy declared Barton, as he lifted his hat in farewell. "111 be on hand, Mrs. Kenton, you may be sure." On the eventful afternoon Barton came, as he had said, a smile of confidence lighting his face a smile that, alas, faded as quickly as the blush of a debutante. Mrs. Kenton greeted him with a warm handclasp, and the next moment he found himself In a drawing room filled with young women.

He was the only man in sight, and his knees trembled as the rapid-fire Introductions began. But he faced, like a hero; the chorus of "oh," "delighted," and "how charming and came through with face unflushed. Tea was served and the meeting gave promise of passing off pleasantly enough. But the blow fell when the president, a middle-aged woman with a twinkle of hu mor in her eye, arose for the first formal announcement. "Ladies," she said mildly, "several of us as is our custom, have brought our children with us the proper thing for young motners to do.

'ihese children, as you are aware, are upstairs in care of two of our most loyal mothers. "Each of us has listened with patience, be it said, to praises of another's Drodtev. But now we are prepared to learn the truth. There Is a gentleman in our midst. He shall see the children, and make formal report to us as to.

which is the prettiest!" Barton's heart went right down Into his patent leathers as he turned upon Mrs. Kenton with a look of unforgiving reproach. "Really I didn't do it!" she whisnered. "It's one of the surprises the club always springs on the hostess 'pon my soul it is There was no doubting the sincerity of her tone, and Barton, summoning to his aid every fiber of his courage, rose to protest. The quick-eyed president divined his intention and she gave him no chance to utter a word.

"The young gentleman may wish to protest that he is not a good judge of chil dren, she declared, "but we cannot listen to him. We all feel sure that he is a man of judgment and courage, and that he will do what we ask of him. A dozen smiles were suppressed as a dozen heads nodded approval. Barton's eye flashed, for the humor of the situation had not appealed to him. "I shall not protest, ladies," he said with quiet determination.

"On the con trary, I shall be very glad to pick out the prettiest baby for you. And, furthermore, I am prepared to face the consequences, whatever they may be The president smiled and appointed a committee to escort Barton to the nursery, Soon he was the center of six contented infants, who were todding and crawling about over the floor in care of two guardian mothers. The impromptu nurses were sworn to secrecy, and was given a long blue ribbon to tie on the arm of the baby he thought the prettiest. Then he was left alone with he infants. He realized full well that while it all might be a huge joke with the mothers, for him it was about the most serious moment of his life.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. New York, Feb. 17. Laura, a pet macaw, proved herself a heroine today by saving from fire the life of Mr.

and Mrs. William Simpson and the latter's sister, Miss Gertrude Hollman, who live on the top floor of 141 Park Row, but then disgraced herself by using some ugly, but expressive, words to indicate her'disgust when a number of firemen tried to pet her. Her language, according to the men, was almost as heated as- the fire from which she was saved. The Simpsons formerly kept a bird store in Park Row, but a little more than a year ago gave it up when Simpson took a position with the telephone company. They kept some of the birds, including Laura, a native of South America.

Mrs. Simpson was aroused just before daylight this morning by the clarion call of Laura. "Oh, exclaimed the.
