Geronimo Charges for Photographs.

Geronimo, the noted Apache chief whose bloodthirsty career as a raider in the southwest was ended years ago by his capture, is now 80 years old and lives near Fort Sill, Okla. Tourists who wish to photograph him must pay $5 for the privilege and the old sinner before facing the camera always gets himself into war paint, strikes a ferocious attitude and looks as fiendish as possible. ' Gen. Lew Wallace, author of “BenHur,” says in his. introduction to “Tarry Thou Till I Gome,” “In my judgment, the six greatest English novels are Ivanhoe, The Last of the Barons, The Tale of Two Cities, Jane Eyre, Hypatia, and this romance of Croly’s.” “Tarry Thou” is a historical novel dealing with the events from the crucifixion to the destruction of Jerusalem. It is the most vivid portrayal of those events ever written.
