Address The Jour nal. Atlanta. Ga. Evidences of the Civil War In the Hills Around Dalton I have been much Interested recently tn the evidences of the fierce struggle of the sixties to be found in the battle scarred hills around Dalton; in the marked and unmarked graves of those brave fellows who fell in sight of their homes, or the homes of their brothers in arms; in the grim old veterans who have survived the snows of succeeding winters and to whom we of the younger generation may well take off our hats in respect and venera tion. It will be remembered by all that In November. 1863. after the. battle of Chick amauga that brilliant and successful strategic movement was made by General Cleburn that resultM in the complete de moralisation of General Hooker’s forces at Ringgold Gap. This gap is situated on the W. & A. R. R. between Dalton and Ringgold. Ga.. where both thread a gorge of wondrous beauty. Cleburn’s artillery were upon the hills on each side and Hooker's forces were decoyed Into this death trap, and there near annihilated. A little shaft of granite marks the spot where these federal* fell. A few hun dred yards beyond - stands the old Jobe house, long since deserted, Its sides and roof literally riddled with bullets. There is something fascinating about the spot—, so suggestive of departed life and pre sent death. They tell us that the winter of 1863-4 was of such uncommon severity that neither army cared to move. Gen eral Jos. E. Johnston had hts headquar ters in Dalton, while his entire army lay In and south of that point. General Sher man had his forces from just north of Tunnel Hill Ridge almost to Chattanoo ga. The old red hills of this Vicinity bear eloquent testimony of the earnest and continuous effort* made by General John ■ton to protect his forces against the ex pected early spring campaign. North, east and west, almost at every point, ri fle pits, stone breastworks and trenches mark the spots where encampments were protected. And when April did come the long ex pected attack was not made. General Sherman executed a clever flank move ment and marched his men west of. and under cover of the hills, toa'ard Snake Creek gap. Nothing was left General Johnston but to leave the position he had labored to make strong, where his men THE TENTH GEORGIA AT WILLIAMSBURG, VA. BY PRIVATE D. I. WALDEN. During the first few months of tny ser vice in the army I had a brother, E. G. Walden, with me In the company In which I served, company E. 10th Georgia regi ment. We were at Williamsburg, Va.. during the summer of 1861. but on the ap proach of cold weather, we moved out about 18 miles to Young's mill on the War wick river, and went into winter quarters. Two or three days before we left Will iamsburg my brother was seriously woun ded by the accidental discharge of a gun, and we left him in the hospital at Will iamsburg. I heard nothing from him for several days, but finally I got a letter requesting me to come to him at once, if possible, for his condition was such that he need ed much more attention than the nurse of his ward could posMbly give him. Through the assistance of the captain, A. J. Mcßride, afterward* our colonel, and Dr. G. G. Crawford, aur surgeon. I was Immediately d«t*||*d to attend him as long as the hospital authorities should consider «ny services needful. I found him in a very serious condition and my duties confined me so closely to his bed side that during my stay, I paid but lit tle attention to anything Except my oitn duties and the dally routine of the hos pital service. The hospital was kept in the buildings of William and Man' s college and was presided over by Dr. John G. Westmore land, of Atlanta, Ga., chief surgeon, and Mrs. Letitia Tyler Semple, a daughter of ex-President Tyler, matron, and I doubt If any hospital. Irt the entire service, ever had a more efficient management. It seemed especially remarkable that a lady, who had been brought up as the daughter The 16th Georgia Was There, Too. - -r * BY R. J. SORRELLS, CO. A, 16TH GA. REQ. Editor of The Journal: Dear Sir—l notice In your -paper that George Mcßae, of the »th Georgia regi ment. says that the 10th Georgia was not the only one selected to make the prelim inary advance on Fort Saunders. Neither was the 20th regiment all. The entire 16th Georgia regiment was there, I being one of the number. Also W. T. Wafford's en tire brigade was there. And I wish to say that the charge was made on Fort Saun ders November 29, 1863. When the l«th Georgia passed the picket post the enemy was firing upon us with grape and canister to a fearful extent. We came in contact with brush sharpened and the sharp end pointing toward us. Also two strands of wire wrapped around stumps about ten paces apart and about twelve Inches above the ground, which tripped a great many. I fell over the first one and thought I was shot, but-I arose and started again. I saw Lieutenant Hultt. of our regiment, cut the other one with his sword. A few steps brought us to the edge of the ditch. There we found some of our men already in It and a few upon the side of the fort. It was but a few moments until the ditch was full of ml»n and going upon the fort as fast us we could. Adjutant Tom Cummings, of the l<th Georgia, planted our flag upon the fort near the top, and If I remember aright a Yankee reached to get it, but Cummings held fast and was jerked into the fort. Then came the tug of war. The ditch was both deep and wide; we could not turn around, go forward or backward, we were so thick in the ditch. Everything that would kill or wound a man was thrown out of the fort upon us, anything from a butcher knife to a bombshell. I saw three burst within three feet of me. About that time the Yankees had flank ed us on both sides and were cross firing on us. Our colonel and captnln were kill ed and. In fact, most all of the officers at the fort. It looked as though death was our portion. Some would call it a close call, nut I called it a tight squeeze to get out alive. About this time a white flag was hoisted and we were surrendered. Ten of the company to which I belonged were captured. We were carried to Knox ville (about 500 in all), and were kept there In the jail yard seventeen days, ft was reported that Burnside’s arm> was on quarter rations and could not have lasted five days longer, and I guess It was so. as we were kept there seventeen days and they did not give us enough to eat to keep a church mouse alive that length of time. We were carried from there to Rock Is land. 111., and held prisoner until the 19th day of,. June, ’65. I can safely say that It was the worst calamity that I ever wit nessed and I had been tn the .Virginia army from July. 1861 until that time. Our company numbered 44 when we charged the forL After the fight only four were THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. MARCH 27, 1902. had rested secure, and fall back, ever back, until the end came. That march of one hundred miles was made In one hundred days, without the loss of a lynch pin. But It was one hundred days of bat tle. The other day I was attracted by the sound of a bugle In front of the court house of Whitfield county. Upon inves tigation it developed that Fred Crow was sounding assembly for the Jos. E. John ston Camp U. C. V. Mr. Crow had not forgotten how he sounded the notes of victory and defeat, advance and retreat, while acting as bu gler for the battery of the late Judge Falligant. of Savannah. It Is a privilege to meet with these old veterans and heir their stories of hard fought battles, and amusing experiences of their army days. The destinies of the Jos. E. Johnston Camp are presided over by Commander S. B. Felker, formerly of “Wheeler’s Critter Company.” Judge Felker enlist ed from WaK'n county where most of his people live, but he has made Dalton his home for a number of years. The old 34th Georgia battleflag drapes its smoke-stained, dingy, but honored folds above the seat occupied by Commander Felker. There group about. It several men who marched beneath it and strug gled to keep its record unspotted. ’ TTie 34th Georgia regiment has been re cognized as one of the hardest fighting regiments In the Confederate army. Its organization was due to Col. Jesse A. Glenn, who Is now a member of the Dal ton bar. t Col. Glenn organized this regiment in 1862 at Dalton, was made colonel and served as such until 1864. He says that he went Into the battle of Baker’s Creek with seven hundred men and came out with three hundred and fifty. But that hts men got the battery they went after. The Colonel later organized a brigade of cavalry, and was an acting brigadier general until, the surrender. The Daughters of the Confederacy paid a tribute to one brave soldier when they named the local organization the Bryan M. Thomas chapter Daughters of the Con federacy. Gen. Thomas was inspector general of Major General Withers divis ion, and saw hard 'service during the war. The general had a West Point education, and is even now in charge of a consider- of a president, should be so Indefatiga ble a worker as our matron was. She was on her feet almost all the day and sometimes far into the night, taking per sonal supervision of the kitchen, dining room, laundry, house-cleaning, etc. And still she found much time, to devote to the care of the sick. Ex-President Tyler himself was a frequent visitor at the hos pital. I attended my brother faithfully and devotedly until almost the last, and then, just at the time when he needed attention most, I thoughtlessly neglected him and brought upoß myself a sense of remorse that still haunts me. I had been invited by some young people to go with them, a short distance, to gather wild grapes, In the afternoon and the doc tor said I might go. He said my brother was much better ana would be up in a few da vs. but my brother asked me to stay with him. he was so sick. I begged him to let me go, I had been so closely confined for bo long a time I was so much in need of a little outdoor exercise and fresh air, I very earnestly urged him to consent and finally he did so very reluct antly. but. I knew very well he wanted me to stay with him. It was a lively, gay party and would have been a most enjoyable outing had It not been for the sense of guilt that weighed my spirits down. We found the distance much greater than they had rep resented It to be and we lingered long among the grape vines so we were gone the greater part of the afternoon ana when I got back my brother looked at <ne reproachfully and said. “You ought to have stayed with me; I have needed you so badly.” It would have been a great relief to me If I could have made him understand how very penitent I was al ready on account of my misconduct. Be fore the dawn of another day, he was left, one lieutenant and corporal and two privates, the remainder being captured ot killed and wounded. I don’t claim to have seen it ail, but this is my recollectton of whit I did see. Boggs, Ga. John Bloomfield, of South Portsmouth, Ky.. has found cumin* to be an expensive Indul gence.

THE NEW WOMAN. Made Over By Quitting Coffee. Coffee probably wrecks a greater per centage bf Southerners than Northern people, for Southerners use It more freely. The work it does Is distressing enough In some Instances; as an lllusratlon. Miss Sue W. Falrall, 51T N. 4th St., Rich mond, Va.. writes: "I was a coffee drink er for years and for about six years my health was completely shattered. I suf fered fearfully with headaches and ner vousness. also palpitation of the heart and loss of appetite. My sight gradually began to fall and finally 1 lost the sight of one eye alto gether. The eye was operated upon and the sight partially restored, then I be came totally blind in the other eye. My doctor used to urge me to give up coffee but I was wilful and continued to drink It until finally In a last case of se vere Illness the doctor insisted that I must give up the coffee, so I began using the Postutn Food Coffee, and In a month I felt like a new creature. I steadily gained in health and strength. About a month ago I began using Grape- Nuts Breakfast Food and the effect has been wonderful. I really feel like a new woman and have gained about 25 pounds. I am quite an elderly lady and before using Postum and Grape Nuts I could not walk a square without exceeding fa tigue, now I walk ten or twelve without feeling It. Formerly In reading I could remember but little but now my memory holds fast what I read. Several friends who have seen the re markable effects of Postum and Grape- Nuts on me have urged that I give the facts to the public for the sake of suffer ing humanity, so. although I dislike pub lic..y, you can publish this letter and my name if ”ou like.” BY COLONEL WALTER M. JONES. able rebel army: he is superintendent of Dalton’s public school system. I was driving through the country about five miles north of Dalton recently—with Mr. John Black. He pointed out a spot where are burled fourteen men shot for deser tion just before the march to the sea. Mr. Black was present and saw the poor fellows meet their death. The entire army was drawn up to witness the execution of those few who had wearied In the hope less struggle. Twenty-eight men were de tailed for the execution, fourteen with loaded guns and fourteen with blank cartridges. A reserve of fourteen men was placed behind the firing line. Upon the first volley all fourteen fell dead save one—who was untouched except a scratch on the hand. One man from the reserve was called out, placed his gun against the prisoner’s breast, and fired. He was his warm personal friend and neighbor boy up in North Carolina. Mr. Black says that Adjutant S. P. Green read the sentence of death rendered by the courtmartial, and it happened that three of the deserters were from Company L of some North Carolina regiment. As he read the commands to which they be longed, Compay L, Company L. Company L, the regimental wag, Tebie Hugg. whis pered, “boys ain’t they giving that com pany—L.” A little pine coffin was carried over the hills recently, where was laid to rest the mortal remains of Charney Adams. Char ney was yard master at Dalton, when the famous little engine “General” came through In such a hurry. They say he had a habit of pulling out his watch on all occasions. As the “General” came dash ing through the yards right past Char ney, he carefully drew his watch and said. “All right, d—n you, you can run through here like h—l without stopping, but you'll loose your job.” And they did.

WESTMORELAND. still and cold In death and on the follow ing day I returned to the camp where I got plenty of outdoor exercises and fresh air. My brother died November 4, 1861, about six weeks after I had gone to him to attend him. , They removed hls body, as their custom was. to a small room in the corner of the building, called the Tdead room,” and I canvassed almost the entire hospital for silver coins with which to close hls eyes. Silver money had become very scarce but finally I borrowed two quarters and after I had placed them carefully on his eyelids. I went out Io attend to something else and when I returned, half an hour later, I found that somebody had stolen the two coins. This worried me very much. I had jio money.,nor any other means of repaying thq men who had so kindly loaned .me the ; c»ins. After a few minutes' deliberation, iuwent to Dr. West moreland and reported my loss to him. He advised m% not to mention It to any one else and he believed he could recover them for me and In less than an hour he s*nt me the coins. They had been found in the possession of a.young man who had been detailed to help about the hos pital and who. on that morning lost hls job and went back to hls command. . Late in the afternoon a little procession, consisting of the corpse. Ip an ambulance, a few armed soldiers as escort, musicians with fife and drums, and myself, marched slowly and solemnly to the plaintive mu sic of the dead march to the cemetery and laid the body tenderly to rest. It is best to prevent attacks of disease, particularly winter epidemics, by keeping the blood and the system in a healthy condition.

NEW YORK, March 4.—President Roosevelt’s more Intimate friends in this pity, especially In the circle'with which he maintained warm and confidential friendship before he became president, have never doubted that he would visit the Charleston exposition, not deterred by any Incident of a personal nature such as that with which Senator Tillman's nephew Is identified. The president's friends here say that only two obstacles to a visit to the Charleston exposition could be raised. One of them is suggest ed by the recent illness ot his son; the other would be created by the people of Charleston, the managers of the exposi tion and the citizens of South Carolina, and that is an Inconceivable obstacle. More even than the Buffalo exposition, with all that It meant in the way of ex pressing and teaching American growth, the Charleston exposition appeals to Pres ident Roosevelt. And there is a senti mental reason which may be discovered in the comment he has often made to his friends that he is upon hls mother’s side a southern man, hls mother having been of the distinguished Bulloch family of Georgia. He is soon to hear of a most significant industrial expansion in South Carolina. The Interesting narrative Is to be told the president shortly before his departure for Charleston, told. too. by men who have authoritative information. The first co to ton mill erected in South Carolina and the only one operated in that state before our civil war was deemed of so great con sequence by the confederate government that It was strongly guarded by troops so that the manufacture of cotton cloth, so greatly needed by the southern people and army, could be carried on uninterrupted by any of the vicissitudes of war. This protagonist in southern cotton manufac turing is now and probably will be at the time of President Roosevelt’s visit to Charleston engaged In manufacturing and shipping to the far east forty tons of cot ton cloth. And this Is no more than a first order. Others are to follow; nor Is this expansion confined to this one mill. Others in that state, as well as in Georgia, are today engaged in manufacturing cotton cloth in response to orders from China, the Philippines and Japan. The president has also been told that for the first time, at least since the civil war, the south, even those parts of it that were most desolate, from 1865 to 18C0, now not only possesses capital of <ts own but Is rapidly increasing its sur plus capital. In addition to that, from the south have come to New York some of the greater intellects that in recent years have been conspicuously indentified with the consummation of great things. In fact the ablest shop keeper, ablest In the sense of most successful, that we have had In New York city since A. T. Stewart’s time was a southern man, and the past tense is employed in describing him he died only yesterday. It Is a man of southern birth although of New England ancestry, who has been foremost In developing the International financial relations which have been so Hi was at General Grant's headquarters. General Lee had received reports of the number of men able to bear arms in his command. General Grant had received similar reports from his officers. A cou rier rode up and informed General Grant that all preparations had been> made to signal federal victory with booming can non. He was Informed by General Grant to go at once and order preparations un made. i No demonstration should be made out of consideration for the handful of 111 clad, half starved men It had taken so long to overpower. It Is Impracticable to do more than men tion a few of the men living and dead, 4n whom we are Interested, and whose mem ories are hallowed. A partial roster shows W. H. Pruden lieutenant colonel 32nd Ga., John Sansome a captain In 36th Ga., C. P. Gordon, J. R. McAfee regimental sur geons, H. C.. Hamilton, G. W. Hamilton, T. P. Freeman, J. W. Barrett, Gus Gunz. R. J.

Men who fought when their country called, and In piping times of peace labored to build up a new country midst the ashes of the old. And now, one by one, they are passing Into the great beyond, and In a few more years will live only In chiseled marble or stone, or by their deeds of greatness and nobleness, live In the hearts of their chil dren's children. May the organizations of these old soldiers live as long as they live.' May they gather every little while and tell over the stories of war and of peace. Live again in the days when they were young, the days when the master planned and watched, the slave tolled and loved; tell of the old south they loved and for which they fought.

Calhoun, of creative ability, which fully matches, although in another field, that which made of hls grandfather the greatest constructive statesman of the south, is<here and name after name could be added to this paragrph of men of true creative ability and impressive force who have come to New York from the sduth since the war and have contributed pro portionately as great an influence in the development of this modern era as any of those who have come from any part of the union. This Is equally true of professional life, not only at the bar but in medicine. New York contains a statute almost side by side with the bronze bust erected to the memory of Washington Irving, which is a permanent memorial of the great achievements In medicine with which the name of Dr. Marion Sims Is identified. It was In the south. In Mississippi, some years before the war, that Dr. Sims, then a young physician, deeply perplexed by a complicated problem In obstetrics ■he had met with, noticed upon the side walk a bent wire, thin and flexible, evi dently one that had been used as a hair pin. This Inconspicuous, humble object was the Inspiration to an achievement which gave to Dr. Sims hls> fame for he took the wire to a silversmith, and with it as a model had a wire made from a sliver half dollar, flexible, thin, and resistent to the acids of the human body, and with this he .’performed for the first time In the history of medicine an opera tion which all the world has since ac cepted, which has relieved suffering and saved many a person’s life. So, too. In this city, Dr. Wyeth, the historian of General Forrest, with whom he served as a Confederate soldier, per formed successfully for the first time the operation of amputation of the leg at the hip joint. In New York city Presi dent Roosevelt was, before he became governor of New York, thrown often In contact with some of the conspicuous intellects who had come from the south tb New York to make a career. He found them all enthusiastic In their be lief in the speedy awakening of the south from its long sleep, certain when the south had awakened it would tell the most fascinating dreams and realize them. It is for these reasons that the presi dent has taken so great an interest in the Isthmian canal project, believing that, while the construction of this waterway is an imperative necessity if we are to take full advantage of our opportunities In the far east, that it also Is In the high est degree of importance for tne full de velopment of that great trade between the'cotton growing and cotton manufac turing south and the fir east, wnlch.

I was at Somerset during the plague when the court was In session. Judge Fox pre siding. The lawyers had expectorated over the floor of the old building In which court was being held, the court house having been burned. The judge, who did not see very well, observing the condition of the floor, asked: * “Gentlemen, what is that water do ing on the floor?” His son. William, seeing hls father’s mistake, said to him, “Why, father, don’t you know that the cellar Is full of water?’’ The judge In an excited manner, be ing apprehensive of cholera, at once ordered Drs. Parker and Perkins to be summoned. When they entered the room he told them that he understood the cellar was full of water and asked them to please examine and report the sanitary condition of affairs at once. This they proceeded to do, returning In a few moments with a smile on their faces and reporting to the court that the cellar was as dry as a powder horn. The judge, seeing that he had been sold, Immediately colored up and turning to hls son. said: “AH right, young man, you may think that you are very smart, but my opinion Is that no man but a stark natural d—n fool will undertake to bullyrag the cholera."

Geronimo, Apache Indian chief and the man whom General Miles has'named “The Human Tiger,” Is to be released from cap tivity at last and may be given citizenship. Geronimo Is the most terrible name in the history of two hundred years of bloody Indian fighting. For the last fourteen years Geronimo has'been a military prisoner at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Now, at the age of eighty, he has signi fied his wish to become a docile subject of the Great Father at Washington. “Geronimo is old and weak; Great Fath er Is young and strong. His arm Is like a withe and his teeth are long and sharp,” said the broken old warrior a few days ago as he affixed his mark to the legal papers that go with his application for re lease. , General Frank Armstrong, of the regu lar army, has been looking into the ques tion and has recommended that Geronimo be paroled and made a citizen. Geronimo has been free practically for several years now, or ever since his re moval from captivity in the Florida Ever glades to barracks at Fort Sill. Although under a constant surveillance, he has a small farm and receives $35 a month as “government scout.” This sum is in the nature of bonus, and Geronimo has been known to chuckle shrewdly at the queer tactics of a Great Father who hires scouts to watch scouts. With Geronimo 298 Apaches, the remnant of the Chlricahuas, will be released. Geronimo Is said by Indian fighters like General Mlles, Leonard Wood and others to be the worst Indian that ever lived. It cost the United States government sl,- 000,000 and hundreds of lives to capture him and put him In Irons. Three times he surrendered and escaped before his final capture by the late General Lawton, then under command of General Nelson A. Miles. Geronimo’s “death hunts,” the annua! 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 his father's ranch away up on the tableland at the head of the Gila river, in Arizona, His Story of His Life. “As a boy,” he said in telling the story of his life, ”1 workc 1 with the rest plant ing corn, pulling grass for the cattle, and buch things. We had to pull up the grass by the roots or else twist if off. for we had no way of cutting it. We did not know what scythes and sickles were, and the big knives cost much money, or, what was the same as money to us, our corn and wheat and stock and skins.” Geronimo was ten years old before he ever saw a white man. His grandfather had been a chief, and “Giatly,” as the Apaches called Geronimo, early became a trusted man at the camp fire councils. From the first he hated white men. He despised civilized customs and the dress of the paleface. This is hts picturesque account of his first entry on the warpath: “I got married,” he says, “and supported my .wife and my family by hunting. I bought horses. The valleys and the table lands of the Gila are good places for horses. I alqrays liked horses for hunting, and was getting rich. “One day some Mexicans came to our village tq steal while I was on a hunt. During the fight they killed my wife and my two papdooses, about three and five 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 Mexican and the paleface, and for twenty-five 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. 1 From the rocky fastnesses of the Gila river he sallied out at Intervals with his band of Chlricahuas, the fiercest of the Apaches, to murder and to torture vic tims who were not so fortunate as to be killed at once. His endurance was wonderful. Once he rode horseback five hundred miles without rest. On another occasion he ran forty miles on foot In a day to escape from his pur suers. He made an excursion of twelve hundred miles with his band In a month, murdered fifty settlers and reached his mountain lair In safety before the United States troops were on hls trail. Sergeant James G. Warren, who saw Geronimo at the height of hls power as an outlaw, declares that hls face was then of demoniacal ferocity. His fury knew no bounds. Hls temper was so terrible that he frothed at the mouth when enraged. Awful Record of Murder. If a horse did not do as he w’lshed he killed it. If sqaws displeased him he or dered them put to death. In six years 425 white settlers, half the population of Arizona at that time, were murdered by Geronimo and hls band. The last death trail In which Geronimo engaged was in 1885. He and hls band kill ed a rancher named Becker In Arizona, torturing hls wife and children to death. Before the party of Indians left the war- KELLEY’S PRICES ON GENUINE ROGERS’ SILVERWARE.

KELLEY, The Jeweler, “ path they killed seventy-six settlers. For years Gen. 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. i Then came the terrible outbreak of 1885, and General Crook asked to be relieved of command. General Miles, now commander-ln-chief of the army, succeeded him. and began th* most tireless campaign ever waged against the redskins. Aided by the late General Lawton. then captain, he succeeded in snaring Geron imo in 1886. Geronimo and the remnant of hls fight ers were run to earth on the Yaqul River, in a section of the country almost impass able for man or beast. Their camp was located on a small ta bleland bordered by the river on one side and surrounded for the rest by high cliffs that no human being could scale. The only points of entrance were from the river up or down. Officers under Capt. Lawton crept up. and 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 exists 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. Matches and a dozen other Indians came Into camp. Geronimo, haughty as a conqueror, gaz ed at him. Then he rushed up to Gen. Lawton and hugged him vigorously. "You are the man I want to walk 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 Gen, Miles. \ Then it was discovered that Geronimo’s immediate company consisted of eighteen bucks and squaws, and that they were hard pressed by wounds and hunger. Since then Geronimo has been nominally a prisoner. ■ He has lost In a measure hls feroclqua appearance, and hls face has taken on something of the dignity of a red Na poleon. Llon-llke courage, determination, steadfast purpose, still light up the strong face, and to a degree conceal its wonder ful cunning. A few years ago he was reported Insane, but this proved a mistake. He is an In veterate gambler and a good one. He is never bluffed, and is gam* to the last dollar. A favorite trick of his is to explain that his eje-slght is extremely bad. Then he pins a bit of white paper up as a target and offers a white man $lO for every time the white man hii?s it with a pistol shot. “But you must give me $lO every time I hit it,” add* Geronjmo. And Geronimo, in spite of hls falling eyesight, never misses the mark. Horse-racing is the delight of the old man's heart. He charges every artist who makes hls picture $25 for the privilege. When asked what he believed would be come of Jhe North American Indian, Ge ronimo said recently: “The sun rises and- shines for a time and then it goes down, sinking out of sight and is lost. So It will be with the Indian. When I was a boy my old father told me the Indians were as many as the leaves on the trees. I know that if they were there they, have gone now. It will be only a few years more when the In dian will be heard of no more except in the books that the white man writes about him.” » A PROPHECY AND A PLEA.
