Tom Horn has shed much light on the Geronimo campaigns. He was a pcout from his early boyhood, and lived near the San Carlos Reservation, talking Apache like one of Geronimo's followers. He was taken along as interpreter when Chief of Scouts Sieber, Gen. Crook and others had conferences with Geronimo.

Willcox was superseded in command by Gen. Crook, who hud several conferences with Geronimo, and who, no doubt, would have effected a final capture but for the lenleviey of the government, it was discouraging to the soldiers to capture Geronimo and have the chief take the warpath again after a few months of Idleness and recuperation cm the reservation, (me of Crook's famous conferences with Geronimo was ut the "I'each Orchard," In Mexico, near the hostile camp. At this conference Crook told Geronimo of the treaty that had been' made, jK-r-mitting American soldiers to cross the Mexican line in pursuit of Apaches. He gave Geronimo his choice war or peace. When the "big talk" was ended, Sieber and the other scouts thought every man in the party would be slain.

When Crook said "war or peace," Sieber had his hand on his pistol, concealed under his shirt. He meant to blow out Geronimo's brains at the hrst move that looked like violence, 'ine Indians talked all night and Geron imo nnauy promised to return wun Crook to the reservation after he had' gathered tip his forces. What he really did was to raid all the surround ing country and steal stock from tho Mexicans. This stock the Indians brought with them to the soldiers camp and refused to surrender to the Mexicans who demanded it. The up shot of it was that the soldiers actually had to take the Indians, with theii; stolen stock, into American territory, Such was the cunning of old Geron imo that he made the United States government protect him in his horse stealing.

Geronimo was soon on the warpath again. So insignificant was tho force on the reservation that once when the Chiricahuas started out on a cam paign, they were opposed only by Chief of Police Stirling, at the head of seven policemen. Stirling, with the courage of a lion, rode directly at the war party, and fell dead with a nun dred bullets In his body, after which a squaw cut off his head. Then the troops were called out, and the usual programme was gone through with the long weeks or pursuit, the "pow wow," and the return of the Indians, unpunished. When Capt.

Lawton, under Gen. Miles, captured Geronimo and 132 warriors in Skeleton Canon, after many weeks of arduous campaigning, dunne which Tom Horn rendered in valuable service as chief of scouts, the commanding officer was wise enough to know that it would never do to send Geronimo back to the res ervation. Much to the chief's amaze ment, he and his warriors were put aboard a train, under heavy military escort, and sent East, never to re turn. When the train pulled out, the dreaded Chiricahuas, the terror of Mexico and all the Southwest, were gone, nevermore to return, and Arizona enjoyed lasting peace. Gen.

les this act without au thority, it is said, but it proved to be the wisest stroKe in au tne long war against the Apaches. One Chirlea-hua named Wasse Jumped from the train as it was going full speed across Texas. He turned up In the Sierra Madre3 later, having made all the distance on foot, through the settlements of Texas, and with all the Texas marshals after him. Jne was an outlaw for many years, living in the mountains and coming to the reservation once in awhile to capture a squaw. After the departure of Geronimo ana his band, the only "broncho" to give trouble was Apache Kid, a youth who had been reared by Sieber, the "man of iron." The kid was the son of old Chief Toga-de'-chuz, a San Carlos Apache.

One. day old Toga was found dead, with a knife in his heart. Another old Indian, called Rip, who had quarreled with Toga forty years before over a girl, was accused of the murder. The Kid, who was first sergeant of the agency scouts, was warned by Sieber to do nothing to avenge his father. But Indian custom wa3 too strong to be denied.

The Kid took advantage of the absence of Sieber one day and took five men and went over on the Aravipo and killed old Rip. Sieber immediately started to San Carlos and told the Kid to come to him. Sieber, when the Kid and his men drew up in front of his tent, went out and began disarming the Indians. Some of the Indians with the Kid began to fight, and in a minute they were all at it, eleven against one. Sieber rushed Into his tent and grasped his line.

At the first shot he killed one Indian. All the others fired at him as he came to the door of his tent, but only one bullet struck him, shattering one of his Jeg3. The Kid took to the hills, deserting tho man who had brought him up like a father. He turned outlaw and began a career of blood that has few parallels In the stirring history of the Southwest. Troopers and scouts hunted him in vain.

He always fought alone and turned up in the most un expected places. He murdered lonely travelers and settlers, men, women and children. Many a lene prospector met his death in the Arizona desert at the hands of the Kid. Occasionally, like the other Chlrica-hau outlaw, Wasse. the Kid made raid on the reservation a.

id captured a squaw. If the woman Impeded his flight, in case of pursuit, he killed her. One day tho Kid had au all-day duel with a white scout named Clarke, who always claimed that he killed the Indian. The Kid's body was never found, but whether Clarke killed him or not, he never returned to Arizona. Tom Horn and othera who knew him well, claim the Kid died of consumption, of which he was a victim.

At all events, the Kid lived long enough to put his name next to that of Geronimo as a "broncho" Apache. The Apache of today Is industrious and peaceful. These Indians, even the remnants of the warlike Chiricahuas, give little or no trouble. Many of them work with scrapers and teams on the big irrigation works the government Is constructing in the We3t. When Gen.

Miles sent that tralnload of warriors, under Geronimo, to the cold and Inhospitable East, he broke the war spirit of the Apache, and the "broncho" is now a "bueno," or good Indian. Trouble With the Ham. Into a general store of a town In Arkansas there recently came a darky complaining that a ham which he had purchased there was not good. "The ham is all right, Zeph," insisted the storekeeper. "No, it nin't.

boss," Insisted the negro. "Dat ham's shore bad!" "How can that be," continued the storekeeper, "when it was cured only last week?" The darky scratched his head reflectively, and finally suggested: "Den mebbe it's had a relapse." Harper's Weekly. A Votary of ths Pipe. Greatest among the votaries of the pipe was Charles Lamb. He smoked furiously, Incessantly smoked with an air that commanded the respect of his friends.

Dr. Parr, who watched him with amasement, ventured to ask how it was he had acquired such a marvelous power. "I toiled after It, sir," replied Lamb, "as some men toll after virtue." He was always on the point of giving vp tobacco, but he never quite succeeded. Even as latn as 1827, when ho had long since professed to have abandoned the habit, he said that, though an extinct volcano, he still emitted occasional puffs. Exchange, COUGH REMEDY GIVES UNIVERSAL SATISFAO TI0N.

Best Remedy in the Market Fo! Colds, Croup and' Whooping Congh It Always Cures And Is Pleasant and Safe to Take. "I never had a medicine In my stors that gave such universal satisfaction as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy." says Mr. P. M. Shore, of Rochester, Ind.

"It is the best remedy today on ths market for coughs, colds and whooping cough. One of my lady customers torn me recemiy mm ha rnuld not keen house without it, that since they have been using it they have had no need of a doctor." In case of a severe attack of croup a physician will usually cull twice, and perhaps half a dozen times in a severe and long protracted case of whooping cough, while in nneumonia It Is often necessary that he calls onee or twice a day for a week or two. All of this trouble and expense may be saved by the judicious use of Chamberlain's Cough Remdy, for It Is a cer tain cure for croup, and when given as booh as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears it win prevent the attack. Pneumonia can also be prevented. This fact has been fully proven, as during the almost forty years in which this remedy has been in general use.

no case of a cold or attack of the grip has ever resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used, so lor as we nave honn abla to learn. It will be seen that a little forethought and by doing the right thine at 'the rieht time, all dancer and expense may be avoided.

The faithful Loeb William, Junior, secretary to the President has been mentioned for nearly every place in the cabinet of Mr. Taft, and now they have almost gone up and down the line among the prominent federal places In New York. There is little doubt that Mr. Loeb expected at one time, but probably does not now expect to be a cabinet officer. When they offered to make him the president of one of the traction systems in Washington, he decided not to come through.

Dreferring.vall things consld- erea, to do merely a memuer or i board, because or his "expectancy oi life" as a cabinet officer. Probably the President has wanted to see him a member of the Taft cabinet. If so, Judge Taft has disregarded Mr. Roosevelt's wishes, or else he has not con sidered that they were strenuous enough to -warrant his paying serious attention them. I take no stock in the story that the President is going to Africa "broken-hearted" because the gentleman whom he nominated for president and had so much to do with electing President is disregarding the Roosevelt wish in reference to pol icies and persons.

If things had come to that pass Mr. Roosevelt would not be broken-hearted; he would be fight ing mad. hot under the collar and red-headed, all in one instant. Thus, I should reject the second feature or this highly imaginative tale, namely, that under theso depressing circum stances Mr. Roosevelt would go to the jungle largely with the Idea of return ing at the right time to be a residential candidate again.

Mr. Taft is undoubtedly pursuing his own methods in stating what policies he will or will not stand behind, and he appears to be engaged in his own consultations in his own way with reference to appointments to office. That is char acteristic of the man, ana everybody In Washington and New York who has a line on anything has a line on this. Moreover, you can chalk It up high on the blackboard that Mr. Roose velt has it in mind to do a few things besides go to Africa and knock the stuffing out of a few wild animals In order to enable taxidermist to knock tl-e stuffing into them for the Smithsonian.

Call them the public, rather, and figure that Roosevelt public into your calculations for the future. Bat another word about Loeb, the imperturbable private secretary and door-mat uurlng seven long, weary years that have not been wholly weary, either. His best friend might admit that he had been a goat 'during all that time, and yet he has been a good goat, and he deserves a cabinet office, or, at least, a collectorship of the port of New York, or an Inspector's berth, or something, for it.

I notice that one of the private newspaper halls of fame puts up William NCson Cromwell, not merely for a seat among the immortals, but for a stamp and a label as the greatest man In the world. And that reminds me of the Washington belief again going far from the purlieus of the genus Wall-street lawyer to the Panama Canal scandal that runs this wise: That of the millions paid to the French government for the canal, every proper cent was checked out to the stockholders of tho French company, as It wotrd be the orderly French way to do; and that the money two millions at any rate, 'ana perhaps more came out of the ten millions raid to the fanama republic. If Cromwell began the Panama republic and he has never denied the paternity of that whole neck of the woods in order that he might have a suitable institution of some kind (any kind) to til-vide with, who shall deny that he is a genuis of diplomacy superior to Napoleon. See this man with his white mustache, his shock of curly white hair, his clerical plug hat. and his other modest habiliments, and you would take him for a preacher.

Probably no living man pursues his objects more Indefatlgably (or shall I say relentlessly?) than he. One of his most intimate associates In business declares that year has passed without a word in reference to business between them. Cromwell does not like to be bothered with a single thing except the thing immediately In hand. The Panama proposition has been rather long drawn out for a treatment, literally, of this kind, but this astute and apparently irresistible progenitor of Panama, as wo know it among the factors of the world's affairs, seems to be movtnr chiefly or wholly to his purpose lik the glacier, SIOWv: hut k.in tYpr I nou jto stop-one I v.

Lamb. WHOLLY BETWEEN OURSELVES BY MARSHALL CUSHING. The story that they tell in Washington about the absorption of Tennessee Coal and Iron by the United States Steel Corporation has it to begin at tho very beginning that Edward Tuck of New York and Paris, the financial agent of James J. Hill in Europe, had a small balance of four-million dollars, more or less, with Moore' Schley, the New York bankers, but he drew this out. Then the pinch of panic times came, Mr.

Schley, whose pool controlling Tennessee Coal and Iron had borrowed heavily on the stock, was up against it to hold on. In despair he approached J. P. Morgan, and reached him, probably through Lewis Cass Ledyard, as mt. Perkins has said.

Mr. Morgan, according to the Washington story and what a lot of things you can hear out of town, if you stay out of town long enough told Mr. Schley that he would take over his affairs and see him throueh. but he (Schley) was to ask no questions and was not to expect to participate in any readjustment, though he (Morgan) would give him (Schley something after It was all over if they succeeded, as probably would: and Mr. Morgan and his party having cleaned up J8.000,- 000, Mr.

Morgan gave Schley 000. or five per cent. This hardily corresponds with Mr. Terkins's testimony, because according to that Grand Young Man of Wall Street, Judge Gary of the Steel Corporation engineered the deal and Mr. Morgan made nothing out of it.

proved to be Geronimo's emissary, an Indian namod Hal-zay one of the worst of the "bronco" bund. "He was ths lirst hostile Indian I had ever seen," said Horn, "and he sure looked the brave that he was. 'all. slender and smiling, he stood there looking as unconcerned as you Please. He was dressed in a low-cut breech clout and a handsome pair of moccasions.

For ornaments he wore a belt full of cartridges, with a long Mexican knife. As he stood there, now smiling good-naturedly and now laugh ing, he did not seem to be tlie bad man Sieber said he was. Later Hal-zay met death at the hands oi an old man In Pedro's band. A FINE FIGURE. Hal-zay told the scouts where Ge ronimo was waiting, and then he re mained behind to see that no soldiers followed the white emissaries.

Tha scouts pushed on into the mountains and Anally came upon some VftO In mns in Geronimo camp. The rauavv crowded about and made the scouts comfortable, and next morning a big council was held, only warriors being pwsent. Said Horn: "Certainly a grano. looking war chie: Geronimo was that morning as he stood there talking to Sieber; six feet high and magnilieently proportioned, and his1 motions graceful and easy as a panther's. He had an intelligent-looking face, but when he turned and looked at a person his eyes were so sharp and piercing that they seemed fairly to stick into him.

Anyhow, that was how they looked to me, but I was a little shaky." According to Horn, Geronimo "had more grievances than a railroad switchman." Said the scout: "He told of the wrongs done him by the agent and the soldiers and the White Mountain Apaches and the Mexicans and the settlers. He wanted to go back to the reservation; he wanted to be allowed to have a couple of Mexicans to make mescal (an intoxicating urlnk) for him; and he wanted the government to give him new guns and all the ammunition he could use. He wanted calico for the women and shoes for tho children when there was snow on the ground, and any and everything he ever heard of he wanted. Geronimo was the biggest chief and the best talker and the biggest liar in the world, I guess, and no one knew this better than Sieber." The reply of the chief of scouts to Geronimo's demands waa characteristic. Sieber arose and looked long and c-ireuiiiy at tne uistant mountains iben he turned to Geronimo and said: "You have asked for everything that I know anything about except to have those mountains moved up into the American country for you to livo in and 1 will give you till sundown to talk to your ceople and see if von don't want those mountains moved.

If ou are entitled, by your conduct, to have everything else you have asked for, then you are entitled to those mountain? also." After these words turned on his heel and stalked out of the coun cil a courageous thlnir for a mn to do, practically alone in the camp of the bloodthirstiest savages that ever took to the warpath. But Sleber's bluff was well planned, for Geronimo called another council, and. was more moderate in his demands. The talk was fruitless, however, and the scouts de parted, after Sieber had told Geronimo that the white soldiers would eventually capture or kill him and every one of his bond. He offered to take back to the reservation those who were willing to abide by the government's laws, and about sixty Indians the offer.

Geronimo said he wa3 glad io see inese inuians go, as they were mostly eld men and squaws whose tiraves nad been killed. After assur ROCKS. will tear a hole In tho ship's bottom.

8. VAN DeOBXFT, Mgr. SOS S. Broadway (Bradbury Bids) My private opinion, based on a certain amount of experience with such affairs, Is that the Brownsville affair is likely to go over as they say in the Senate that Is, over the 4th of. March, and then die off and gradually be forgotten.

The 60-called compromise provides that the dimlssed negro soldiers desiring reinstatement In the army shall come before a board of retired officers and thou pass on to ths War Department, which finally can them If It chooses. This plan expresses weM enough the For-aker proposition to refer their cases to such a board, and the Lodgre or Koosevelt proposition that any remission of military discipline In any case must be left with the commander In chief. There are two considerable forces operating, however, to prevent action In the present Congress, which, as you have heard, will see the end of Mr. Foraker's present Senatorial term. One Is the belief In army circles that the discipline of the army would suffer beyond repair for a very long time If the power of the commander In chief; were to be taken away from him in the slightest measure; and the other Is the determination of certain Southern Senators to resist any attempt to reinstate the negro soldiers giving them some additional encouragement to violence, and then, perhaps, the whole black race In the South giving special and favored treatment to their various coses.

I didn't know till the other day that this black battalion of the Twenty-fifth had been, wholly or In part, engaged In four previous shootlngs-up of a kind not dissimilar to that at Brownsville; and It Is charged that the ir.oney lender of the regiment, a black soldier who enlisted for the avowed purpose of making money out of his at Zo per cent, a month, this Texas raid In order that the post where only three negTo liattallons were stationed miKht he hroken up and his impecunious victims snt to some other post where they wouU-fca perhaps twice as ronimo's camp in Northern Mexico, and interpreted a "peace talk" there. At one of Crook's conferences with Geronimo, Sieber and Horn were summoned to the Apache camp as advisers to the camp council. TOOK NERVE. At that time Sleber's significant words to the young interpreter were: "Taka your knife, Tom; stand while you interpret; forget that you may not live one minute, and think only of the talk." Sieber, who was Instrumental, more than any other single individual, in Instilling a wholesome respect for white warriors into Geronimo's brain, was a remarkable character. He was a born Indian fighter, having spent much of his life among the Apaches.

He knew the plains of Arizona and Northern Mexico like an open book, and Geronimo could not shake him oft. When the commanders were discouraged nnd nt sea, which was often the case, Sieber was cheerf ul," hopeful and courageous. The "nerve" of the scouts who were virtually in charge of the campaigns fcgainst Geronimo. was something wonderful. There was nothing they dared not do.

Geronimo's method was to live awhile on the San Carios Reservation, until he had gathered sufficient r.mmu-nltion for a campaign, and then he would take to the warpath. If the nur- tult ercw too hot, after he had burned nnd pillaged awhile 1a Arizona and New. Mexico, he would retreat across the Rio Grande Into the mountains of Northern Mexico. At that time there was no treaty allowing our troops to pursue Indians into Mexico. As for the Mexican Boldlers, the Apaches had the utmost contempt for them, always clalir.lng that a hundred Apache squaws could whip a regiment of Mexican soldiery.

On one occasion, early in his career, Geronimo had retired across the border, and sent word to Gen. Willcox, department commander at the time, that he would treat with a couple of Sieber said he would go, end selected young Tom Horn as his interpreter. They started from San Carlos, timing themselves so they would reach the designated place by the full of the moon. They were accompanied by Merljilda Grijola, a Mexican captive, who had been raised by the Nana and Geronimo bands of Chlrtcahuas.
