Government Prisoners for Twenty Three Years Getting Homesick and Long to Return to Their Old Hunting Grounds. "But. Minna, you shouldn't flirt with all the men as your are doing! Re member you're not married!" Here's a Good One. A friend of mine told me of a curi ous experience. He was carefully stalking a big bull elephant in a large herd, when they got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. He Jumped behind a large tree as the elephant reached him. and. being un able to stop herself in time, the ele phant drove her tusks with such force into the tree that they snapped off close to her head. The elephant was stunned for a moment, but luckily turned and galloped after the fast re treating herd, leaving him the posses sor of some SO pounds of ivory, valued at about 1230. Circle Magazine. Washington. The Apaches who for S3 years have been under government surveillance as prisoners of war, first at Forts Pickens and Marion. In Flor ida, and latterly at Fort Sill, Oklsu, claim that the saying that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian" is a mistake. They think that they have been good so long that they have for gotten how to be bad. and there is un doubtedly considerable ground for their claim. The Apache band, char acterized by the late Secretary of the Interior L. Q. C. Lamar as "being guuty 01 the most atrocious crimes known to recorded history," now num bers 29S. In the number are grand children. Less than half of the orig inal disturbers survive. In the winter of 1SS5-S6 the Apaches of Arizona became restive. Early in March, 1SS6, they started their campaign of riot and blood lust uen. Miles, at the head of a large body of regular cavalry took the field, and until August the Indians kept the soldiery constantly under arms and on the move, fighting at least twenty pitched battles. In the course of the campaign the Apaches repeatedly crossed and recrossed the Mexican border. About the last of Aueust they made their final stand in the maun tainous region of the Sierras, 300 miles south of the border. Alter unsuccessful efforts to com promise with Gov. Torres, the Mexi can official nearest the trouble, they finally -surrendered to the American force, who had an understanding with the Mexican government. Among those who surrendered were Geronimo, the fiercest enemy that the palefaces had ever known; Xatches and 15 other chiefs. When the sur render of the whole force of hos tiles had been completed the Americans found themselves with nearly 400 men, women and children to take care of. President Cleveland .and Secre tary Lamar agreed that' their only possible status was that of prisoners of war, and such they have remained through six administrations. The imprisonment in the Florida forts was brief. On official recom mendation the Apaches were trans ferred to Fort Sill. OkhW where they sttil remain. The practices of civiliza tion and habits of industry have been slowly inculcated in the younger gen eration. Geronimo died last year and has been succeeded in the chieftain ship by Asa Dakiugie. He repeatedly petitioned the government for permis sion to return to his old stamping ground, but without success. Geronimo became quite a fad among the citizens of Bliss, Fort Sill and neighboring towns and villages. No county fair was complete without Geronimo. He never affected the dress of his race, preferring the habiliments of the white man. The slick "plug hat was his favorite head, gear and the old warrior usually wore it with a shirt sleeve and moccasin accom paniment that was certainly original. if not modish. The Fort Sill remnant of the war riors of the latter 'SO's are to-day, all of them, well along in years. Their juniors have grown up practically as white men. Whether or not the'r petition to re turn to their natural home among the buttes and canons, the cacti and Gila monsters of their earlier environment meets with executive approval is a question for the future to decide. For 23 years they have been taken care of with a solicitude that the worthiest of enemies might envy. It remains for President Taft to answer the plea of the fighting men of a bygone gen eration, and say whether or not, they shall once again breathe the alkali dust and swelter in the ultra-tropic sun of the only spot on earth they ac knowledge as home. BILLS WERE NOT SPURIOUS. A JOB FOR TWO. Hotel Clerk Thought They Were Coun terfeit and Raised Much Trouble Thereby. Orovllle, CaL H. W. Plummer. a capitalist of Oakland, had a trying experience with the police here. For while be was in grave danger of being taken away to prison as a coun terfeiter. With E. A. McCulley of Oakland he came to this city to inspect a timber claim near here. He went to the Union hotel and rose early to take the stage to the timber belt. Before leaving San Francisco he had ob tained some new greenbacks and of fered two of these in payment of his bill. The clerk looked at the bills and became convinced that they were counterfeit and that he had detected two of the band who had been put-' ting out bogus money in northern California. He had a water test all of his own to detect counterfeit greenbacks. It consisted of soaking the bills in water and sticking his finger through them. If the finger went through the bills were- bogus. In a surreptitious man ner he put the greenbacks through the test. They failed to stand it- He could punch holes in them without dif ficulty. His suspicions were verified. He sent a hurry call to the police and three men responded. He pointed out the two capitalists as counter feiters and the stern hand of the law was laid upon them. In Tain they protested in language, more forcible than polite. The damning evidence was in the clerk's possession. Just as the policemen were ready to drag the two away to jail Driver Conley, who was known to Mr. Plum mer for 20 years, came in and rec ognized him. Mr. Plummer's troubles were not over, however, as it was not until Post Office Inspector J. L Driscoll had been roused from sleep and brought down to pass upon the genuineness of the greenbacks that he was released. Mr. Plummer can not see anything amusing in the Incident. Touched Convicts By Music Lazy Men Power Generators. Learned Justice Betts ot Kingston, X. Y, says: "Lazy men have a right to live." Our lazy men are our most potent. History shows that as a rule. with a rule's exceptions, our greatest men had either indolent or shiftless fathers, as fathers ot Shakespeare, Lincoln. Napoleon. Bismarck and other worthies indicate. On the other hand, great men's children are few and far between. Power in a lazy man Is accumulative, as In a coiled spring, but the great man has little or nothing left tor offspring.

Daniel Payson of Windsor, Vt, Leaves Post After 28 Years Brought Neted Musicians. Windsor. YL Music hath its charms and the prisoners of the Vermont state prison in this town have for the past 28 years ben charmed by its soothing Influence, and it has acted in a meas ure as a stimulant for their betterment and made many accord with prison discipline. The prisoners have not only heard tool artists sing, but during these years have been feasted in music by the best orchestras and soloists that have passed through this town. They have heard Helen Potter, the reader; Mme. Rosa, the violinist, and many players of the. state and from afar, brightening their lives and reminding them that they were not forgotten by the world even though separated from it by high walls and steel bars. Daniel Payson of this town was the means through whom these pleasures have been tendered the prisoners, and he served faithfully as prison choris ter 28 years, denying himself many op portunities, for pleasure that the pris- GUARD HEALTH IN PANAMA.

Daniel Payson was born In Hope, Me.. July 16. 1839. the son of Ephraim and Mary Foiger Payson. Daniel often worked on the farm, but when grown to manhood he became a shoemaker. He said in regard to his work at the prison. T entered the prison as foreman in the workshop for a firm in Boston, who had the contract work ot the prison labor. I was the instructor, and while such I never had a prisoner say an unkind word or attempt an as sault. There were only three instances in my 15 years' labor there that I re ported prisoners for punishment. "I have never seen a man who did not have a soft side to him, and I usu ally found that soft spot by talking kindly to them, and used them as I would like to be used myself. If yon should go into a small town and pick out ISO men haphazard, you would have just such an assortment as I had to deal with, and you would find ignor ance, depravity and criminal instinct among them just as sure as you would find intelligence, refinement and goodness."

Itched and Burned Terribly Could Not Move Thumbs Without Flesh Cracking Sleep Impossible. Cuticura Soon Cured His Eczema. 8 'An itching humor covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, the surface would be covered with blis ters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad that I could not move my thumbs without deep cracks appearing. I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the Itching. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep. I could not bear to touch my hands with water. This went on for three months and I was fairly worn out At last I got the Cuticura Reme dies and in a month I was cured. Wal ter H. Cox, 16 Somerset St, Boston.

Forty-five persons who have died recently form the basis of a most remarkable report on bringing the dead back to life, according to the Medical Record. Of the 45 cases treated under the new. theory of manipulating the heart by the hand 17 patients were resuscitated, nine with complete recovery. The remain ing eight died after a short time. Forty of the cases treated are said to have been due to the anaesthetic administered. The report says that in each instance immediately after death ensued, or not more than five minutes afterward, the chest was opened and the heart was given a di rect application of manual massage. "After the chest 'cavity had been opened the hand Is forced in and the heart is grasped and pushing toward the anterior thoracic walls," accord ing to the Medical Record, "and the ventricles are squeezed rhythmically at about the normal rate of heart beats. Sometimes fully 15 minutes elapse before any response is ob tained. During all this time assist ants should be busy with artificial respiration, saline and adrenalin in fusions, tongue traction, intubation or trachaeotomy and elevation of pel vis and legs."

Plans are being pre pared by direction of CoL Goethals of the isthmian canal commission cover ing the details c sanitary improve ments .in the clU of Panama and Colon during the coming dry season to guard against yellow fever and plague. FOr the improvements congress at Its last session appropriated $$00,000. They will include the extension, grad ing ot streets, building sewers and water mains. The supply of common labor In the canal zone is greater than the de mand, although some recruiting has been necessary since the first of the year because of the indisposition ot the idle men to accept work at the established rate of ten cents an hour for the West Indian laborers. From the beginning of American occupation at Panama the problem with regard to a working force has not been so much to obtain men as to keep them on the work after they had been brought there. This diffi culty was experienced with white Americans recruited for the skillful trades and administrative positions, as well as with the common labor force. Modern sanitation, systems ot hous ing and feeding employes and a uni formly high scale ot wages have made the force permanent. On January 31 the force at work by nationalities in cluded 40495 Americans, 4.915 Euro peans and 15,610 West Indian negroes. Penny Sells for Much Money. London.
