navd a Peraauaaiwe Mrogmo.
Capt. Thomu Bjrne, or "Old Tom
my," a he wJ affectionately called bj
his asfiociatea,: had at - one time charp
of the Hualpais, a tribw of Indians set
tled in northwestern Arizona. O'd
Tommy, perhaps from his "deludhuriu
tongae," had an almost miraculous as
cendancy over the chiefs and head men
of this tribe, and, though his native
eloquence was seconded only by the
ftcantieet allowances! rations from the
subsistence stores of the camp, he was
loved and trusted by these childlike
allies. To hear aim coaxing back a
sulky warrior to good humor was
something to be long remembered.
"Come, now," he has beuu heard to
say, "shure, phat is de matther wid
ye? Have ves iver axed me for an
thin' that Oi didn't promise it to yez
Yet Tommy's promise were always
kept.
' Suddenly one day the Hualpais, like
a flash of lightning out of a. clear sky,
wvat on the warpath and fired on the
agency buildings before leaving for
their stronghold in the Canon of the
Colorado. No one knew the cause of
their sudden treachery, and Tommy
Byrne was one of those who realized
how much it would cost Uncle Sam in
blood and treasure if the outbreak were
not stopped at once.'., i ...!,
Without waiih'.g for his spirited lit
tle horse to be saddled he threw him
self across its back and swept out into
the hills after the fugitives. When
the Hualpais saw the cloud of dust
coming they blazed into it, but Tom
my was untouched, and dashed gal
lantly up, his horse white with foam,
to the knot of chiefs who stood await
ing fai'll.
At ,'irst th"i Indians were sullen, but

story of tlieir grievances. The new

ky rue's duty regulate all the affaire'
in his camp. They did hot want to
l.urt him and would let him go safely
back, but for them there was nothing
but the warpath.
'"Conic back with me," said Tommy,
gently. "I will see that you are
righted."
Jiaek they went, following that one
unarmed man. Straight to the beef
scales proceeded the ollicer, and in a
few minutes he had detected the man
ner in which lal.se weigut had been se
cured by tampering with the poise. A
Texas steer, which would not weigh
more than 800 pounds stood at 1,700,
and of course other articles followed in
the same ratio.
Tommy seized upon the agency and
took charge; the Hualpais were per
fectly satisfied, and the agent left that
night for California. Thus was a bit
ter war averted by the prompt action
of a plain, unlettered man, who had
no ideas about managing savages be
yond that of treating them with kind
ness and justice. Chicago Tribune.
He Was Premature.
An old farmer from one of the back

I "May it please the court, I take the

The old farmer jumped up and sang
out:
"What's that? What's that?".
The judge called him down.
"May it please the court," began the
attorney again, not noticing the in
terruption, "I take the ground "
"No, I'll be d d if you do, either,"
shoured the old farmer; "anyhow pot

The fine for contempt was remitted.

A DETERMINED CLIENT
How Kite Baiaed Panda for Ifer S
it and
Kxhorted Her Lawyer.
"My first case," said a well-known
Harlem lawyer to a N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser man, "was a very unique
one. An Irish family of the name of
Murphy, living up on the rocks in one
of the fast disappearing remnants- of
Shanty-town, were fraudulently evicted
from their tumbledown cabin by a
rascally landlord. The practical head
of the household was the wife, and she
determined to fight the matter out.
For three weeks the Murphys.children,
furniture and all, lived in the back
yard of their former home with noth
ing between them and heaven but a
flimsy tent made of old sheets, while
Mrs. Murphy tramped around town
looking for a lawyer who would take
their case for nothing.
"One day she charged into my office
and told me her story with the stereo
typed exactness that comes from fre
quent repetition. The case seemed to
be a worthy one, and as I wasn t over
burdened with work I agreed to take it
free of charge and reinstate the Mur
phys in their dilapidated homestead.
She wanted to get out a free summons
against the landlord and waive several
other small but necessary expenses,
but I told her it would bs more politic
to pay these, as the total would not
amount to $".
"Foive dollars!" she cried: 'divil a
cint have the Mufphys peen since me
husband losht hi.s job wan mr.nth ago,
and the lasht blissed thing thim pawn
brokers 11 take they've got already.'
When I offered to loan her the money
she went into such a rage that I
apologized abjectly. 'Be the powers!'
site exclaimed, after pacing the floor
for about ten minutes. 'I forgot wan
thing! Wait, misther, an' I'll be back
in ait hour!
"She kept her word, and just as I
was closing up shop for the day she
reappeared wit h her hands full of silver,
which she poured upon my desk. 'Mrs.
Murphy.' I queried, 'w here did you get
this? I thought your l&et valuable had
been pawned?' Yis,' she replied, with
a gleam of triumph in the gray eye,
irirvthing exeipt- the goat. I tuk
auia iManny. wnose muK me cniiaer

and they lint me $4.97 on her. There's

There is too much of her in the
home. She"may:bo the' paikut, ficlf-
sacriticing mother . who gels overtired
that others may go free; she may bo
an elder sister who lias sacrificed all
the craces and eifts of individual life
to a family of younger brothers and
sisters.
Perhaps she is a iaiden aunt who
smooths the way with anxious eager
ness for everybody's feet but her own
or a grandmother whose burdens mul
tiply with the coming of the Becouu
generation because the young mother
has not learned the secret of living her
life independently.
Whatever emergency of lire may
have called out her unselfishness, there
it is, and, as I said before, there
is altogether too much of it. .
Why? Because there is such
thing as an unselfishness that passes
beyond its proper bounds and becomes
naean-epLnted.4,-:r-. ; -f .
.. .It lays aside that proper recognition
of self which commands respect, and
which is wholly necessary for individ
ual well being. That the mother
should be the head,' the brains of her
family, what is more fitting? That
she should be hands and feet, that she
should serve before them like a hired
assistant, a thousandtimes no! ,.
Those unseUish . women, in' their
anxiety to exemplify the golden rule,
quite forget that self, after all, under
lies its measure of values. If a great
many women treated their neighbors
no better than they treated themselves
this would be a, sad world for neigh
borliness. And this unselfishness is sure to work
mischief in a family, too. For unself
ishness is unlike most other virtues,
in that it breeds its opposites, not its
own kind.
In a family where the wife, or the
mother, or the elder daughter, is anx
iously unselfish; where she watches
every opportunity to do for the other
members of the family what there is
every good reason they should do fur
themselves, these others learn quickly
enough first to accept it, then to as
sume it, and linally to demand it.
And so there comes out of the home
of the unselfish woman a flock of care
less, self-seeking children, intent on
themselves, criminally heedless of ev
erybody else, trampling on the rights
ef others, and having to unlearn, per
haps late in life, the selfish lessons
they learned at their unselfih mother's
knee.
Rarely is it that the lesson is learned
as it should be, and so is kept up the
army of selfish men and women who
make half the burden and un happi
ness of living.
COT AHEAD OF THE BARBER.
It Took Breath, bat the Scheme Worked
Like Charm.
Detroit has a barber who if talking
never existed would have invented it,
and still he is an excellent barber with
a good patronage. Since last Tuesday
evening, however, he has been wear
ing a countenance of gloom and disap
pointment, and some of his friends
think he is contemplating suicide.
At 7 o clock, ot the evening men
tioned a man evidently from Chicago
came in, says the Free Press, and re
moving his external integumenta took
a chair.
"Shave, sir?" inquired the barber,
getting his implements ready. . .
"Certainly," responded the customer,
fixing himself comfortably. "I haven't
been shaved for three days owing to
the fact that several days ago, . in re
sponse to an invitation Irom a man
whom I know only slightly, having
met him but once or twice during his
trips to Chicago on business in which
we were both interested, I went over
here into a back , county of Canada
about fifty miles from any railroad
station, in a section of country . where
there weren't any razors, except those
the hogs wore on their backs, and I
haven't been able to slide my chin
against anything sharper than a Cana
dian, zephyr 20 degrees below the . ice
notch, and the consequence has been
that I have had a growth of bristles
that I think if my wife should ran her
face against on my return to my native
village would give her such a shock
that she wouldn't let me come near
her again for the next six months, or
at least until I had promised her faith
fully that I would never let myself get
into such a condition again, even if I
went to the wilds of Africa, where I
suppose a man's whiskers, in the lux
uriant climate of that latitude, would
frow to such a thicket of hirsute stub
iness that there wouldn't be any way
of cutting them, unless he imported a
double-strength reaper and mower
with re-enforced knives in order that
there might not be- any mistakes in
the . accomplishment of the job for
which it had never been designed, but
for which, thanks to the excellence of
American manufactures,! t would read
ily adapt itself in an emergency of this
kind, provided it were in the hands of
a competent and efficient person who
knew exactly its capabilities and was
conversant with the. proper methods
of its application to You ain't
through, are you? I don't want any
shampoo, haircut, or anything else.
How much? Fifteen cents? Here's
your money."
And slapping on his coat and hat he
bounced out without giving the bar
ber a chance to say a single word.

Johnny is a chubby-faced youngster
who for the past six years has been the
light of an east side household. John
ny has a keen sense of humor, but hL
occasional pranks have not always met
with the appreciation on the part of
his mother to which he thought they
were entitled. Johnny has been prop
erly trained, and perhaps overtrained,
by his fond parents, and with the per
versity of children has developed a
strong prejudice against saying the
little prayer his mother has . taught
him to repeat before retiring.

robed Johnny decided to introduce a
change in the usual programme, so
as he knelt by the bed he began:
"Come, little boy blue, come blow up
your horn. The sheep's in the meadow,
the cow's in the corn," and repeated to
the end that familiar jingle of the
nursery.
"That's a good boy, Johnny," said
the old man as he tucked him into bed,
"always say your prayers.and you will
grow up a good man," and Johnny
winked the other eye as he chuckled
