THE COWBOY REVENGED

A very formal report to the commissioner of Indian affairs at Washington tells in a few colorless words how an Apache who murdered a cowboy in New Mexico was meted out punishment by his own race. This is the story, but not in the language of the report: , ' * I.—HUNGER. Death broods over the Mascalero reservation. The coyotes, slender, famished, slink hopelessly through the chapparal to the tepee of Da-Ga-In-Ka, and Just as hopelessly slink away again. There are no fresh bones behind the wickiup. It has been many sleeps since Da-Ga-In-Ka has tasted meat; not since the last beef killing, with its wanton waste and great feasting, at the agency. Therefore Da-Ga-In-Ka’s woman cowers as she puts before him the jar of cornmeal porridge. The stomach of a warrior craves flesh. And who Is Da-Ga-In-Ka, that he should eat the food of women and children and of the craven white man who humbles himself at labor like a squaw? Yet. he must endure the close-fisted bounty of the paleface, for now the Apaches are 1 almost civilized and live on the land the white man has allotted them. Bah! The Great Spirit feeds the eagle. He will feed Da-Ga-In-Ka.

lI.—THE COWBOY. At the ranch the superintendent over his tally of th§ “beef critters” again. Yes, three are missing. The white man counts even the grains of corn and demeans himself to labor like a squaw. He has none of the traditions of a noble race. “Jim, go out arid try to round up them three steers. Like as not they’re on the Mescalero.” A frolic this for Jim McLane, cowpuncher. Hurriedly gathering up a sack of rations from the mess shack he swings himself on his game little Pinto and tears away over the sand and the sage brush. An impetuous, wholesome young fellow is Jim, the most lighthearted of the lot. His bandanna- neckcloth flutters Jauntily as he rides. Over on the edge of the Mescalero he meets Indians. The greetings exchanged are friendly. Steers? Yes, away over that way; saw them not far from Da-Ga-In-Ka’s tepee. “Thanks. Have a cigarette.” Friendly fellows, these Apaches. Nearly civilized.

lII.—FRESH BLOOD. Da-Ga-In-Ka’s squaw shakes him by the shoulders. The brave grunts drowsily; he is so gorged with meat. She has seen something again, and this timejt is a horseman. He has dismounted near the carcass of a steer which has been quartered. Nearby are the ashes of Da-Ga-In-Ka’s campfire. Look, he is angry. He will complain to the agent. The agent will cast Da-Ga-In-Ka in the prison of the white man —Da-Ga-In-Ka, a ptoud sovereign of the arid plains.

IV.—BIG GAME. They find Jim McLane lifeless near the quartered steer, which is to say, near Da-Ga-In-Ka’s deserted tepee. The other Apaches are aghast. For the tribe Is civilized—nearly. The white man’s brows are black, and the blue In hts eyes snaps like flint. “We want Da-Ga-In-Ka?’ the agent says. Time was when this meant war paint. But the Apaches are getting civilized by degrees. The Mescalero has been defiled with savagery, and the white man who doles out the beef is angry. Away! Find Da-Ga-In-Ka! V.-ON THE BRINK OF REFUGE. To the Apache braves the trail of Da-Ga-In-Ka across the desert is as plain as a post road. Ever on. Far ahead beyond the purple haze of distance toil the fugitive and his squaw. He is strong; he has eaten. He is stout of heart. The squaw is fresh, too. The ponies are weary. They have not eaten so much. The little group enters the mountains. These _ are the Sacramento mountains. It is well. From the mountains Da-Ga-In-Ka can almost see the Rio Grande. Mexico is his goal.

VI.-THE LAST STAND. Here is a cavalcade coming up the pass. So close? It is the pursuit. Da-Ga-In-Ka sees they are Apaches. The fire of his forefathers is in the fugitive. He faces them with his cherished old Winchester in hand. “Come back to the Mescalero,” shouts the leader. “Brothers, go your way. I will go mine.” This is the sullen answer. The column moves again, forward. The hunted savage gazes at his brethren fixedly. Then,, with the suppleness of a snake he slips from his blanket, drops to his knees and puts the cool butt of his rifle to his swarthy cheek. He sings the war song of the Apaches. Behind him crouches' his squaw txembling. This is because she is a woman, and fears the white man who can turn the redskin against his kind. The Winchester begins barking merrily, and a shower of ejected shells rattles to the ground. Back from the trail comes the echo of the war song, and a volley that tears a cloud of splinters off the ersg. It is soon over. Jim avenged, and a wrinkled, ugly squaw is wailing over her dead. Da-Ga-In-Ka Is literally riddled with bullets. They say the Mescalero Apaches are becoming civilised.

BULLET STRUCK LINCOLN.

Hitherto Unpublished Story of President Under Fire at Ft. Stevens. To all but a few —certainly not more than a score, perhaps not more than a dozen—it is news that Abraham Lincoln was hit by a bullet fired by a Confederate soldier in battle. The histories do not record it, nor the biographies. Those who saw the occurrence thought little or it at the time, so pressing was the work they had in hand and the president is not known ever afterward to nave mentioned the Incident. On the morning of July 12, 1864, a young Lieutenant Colonel of the Six-ty-fifth New York Volunteers, standing just outside Ft. Stevens, one of the series of forts that completely surrounded and guarded Washington, saw President Lincoln walk fearlessly among his soldiers, discussing the conditions and circumstances of the then impending attack upon the city by Lieutenant General Early and his confederate forces while a battle raged outside the breastworks. Watching with the curiosity of a soldier who had seen his president but twice before the colonel was alarmed when he saw him hit a bullet which had sped through tne air from the 'camp of the enemy. The young officer was William P. Roome, who was adjutant general and chief of staff, of Major General Upton. Colonel Roome now Uvea, at 114 West Eighty-sixth street. Colonel Roome’s story is as follows: “In July, 1864, Early, with orders from Lee, started from Lynchburg, went down the Shenandoah Valley, fought a battle at Harper’s Ferry, and also on the Monocacy River, and was to make a demonstration as'ainst Washington. It was thought that if he could arrive with his force and find the forts above the city not fully occupied (as they were not) it would result in a great Northern scare, a strengthening of the Confederacy, and po?<s'bly even greater results. He arrived in front of Washington opposite Ft. Stevens, on July 11, in the afternoon. In order that they might be fully prepared to take act on, they decided to rest the men that night, and make the demonstration the following day. Their movements were all knewn to Grant.

“The Sixth Corps of the p.rmy of Lie Potomac was detached from that army in front of Pete- sburg, and to thwart any demonstration that might be made hv Party. One division of the Sixth Corps was left in Baltimore, because the demonstration was intended to be against that city and Philadelphia as well, ’xhe other two divisions arrived in Washington In detachments on steamers from the 10th to the 12th. The first and second divisions were immediately sent to Ft. Stevens, which was about four miles from the White House. “The First Division, to which I belonged, remained in reserve in the vicinity of the fort; the other was sent out in front. The country stretching away from the fort to the north was first a gentle lecline, then a little plane for some way, with hills in the distance. Every detail of the movement of the two divisions —ours and one of Early’s—could be seen plainly from the fort, while the participants themselves could see only what was occurring In their immediate front. “There was thus unrolled a panorama of war —a battle in progress. In the distance a house was set afire by

the arti’lery, and formed a prominent feature of the picture. “The engagement rfcis sufficiently far from the fort to make a bullet that came to it practically harmless. One illustration was interesting, as showirig the degree of danger in our position, and also the comparative effect of the emotions of curiosity and fear in women. A large tree which had been felled very close to where I stood lay in a horizontal position to the works, and behind it two women, apparently mother and daughter, had taken refuge. They would look with open-mouthed Interest at the movement of the troops, when singing through the air wou’d come a bullet. Its hum would arouse the emotion of fear, and Instantly they would crouch down to the ground behind the protecting tree trunk, only to rise, inch by inch, as the fear of the bullets passed and curiousity oecame supreme. “At about that time President Lincoln. arrived. He was accompanied, I think, by at least two members of the cabinet, though I did not know them? They halted but a few yards from my position, at the side of the road that led from the fort. From where the president stood he could see the panorama I have described. “The fire from the enemy was thick and fast, and the cracking almost continuous. Moat of it fell short of the Inclosure. While so standing, one of these bullets, fired at long range bv a confederate, struck the president on the thigh. The force was not sufficient to wound him: In fact, I doubt if it pierced his trousers The bitl’et fell to the ground. President Lincoln paid no attention to It other than to glance down and permit a smile to linger for a moment on his face. “Young as I was, I remember distinctly the interest I took In watching that noble countenance, and wondering what thoughts were passing through bis mind as he raw men falling and saw what never nad been revealed to him before, the actual conflict of troops In battle. "Undoubtedly the preside it at that time stood In a position of danger, as one of those bullets mieht have been fatal with a sllghtlv additional force. If one had struck him in the eye It would easily have proved fatal.”

THE CHILD MIND

Results of an Investigation Into Infant Mental Processes. Of forty-eight children, says Stanley Hall, twenty believed the sun, moon and stars to live, sixteen thought flowers could feel, and fifteen that dolls would feel pain if burnt. The sky was found the chief field in which • the chfldreta exercised their philosophic minds. About three-quar-ters of them thbught the'worm a plain With 1 the sky like a bowl turned over it, sometimes believing that it was of such thin texture that one could easily break through, though so large that much floor sweeping was necessary in heaven. The sun may enter the ground when it sets, but half Of the children thought that at night it rolls or fifes away, Or is blown, or walks, or God pulls it higher up out of sight, taking it iip into heaven, according to some, fritting It so bed; and eVeh taking Off its (riothes and' putting them bn again in the morning,'or agaih, Itris believed- to lie under the trees at' night and the angels mind IL God, of whom children, always hear so much, plays a very large part in these conceptions, anil is made directly responsible for all cosmic phenomena. Thus thunder to these American Children was God groariiri'g orikicking or rolling barrels abbot, dfr ! trirhing’ a big handle, or grinding snOw or 'brteaklng something; or ling : a big hammer 1 ,’ while the lightning was duetoGodputting his finger out, or turning the gas on quick, or striking matches, or setting paper on Are. According. to Boston children, God is a big, perhaps a blue man, to be seen in .the sky, on the clouds, in church, or even in the streets. They declare that God comes to see them and they have seen uim eritOr the gate. He makes lamps, babies, dogs, trees, money, etc., and the angels work for him. He looks like a priest or a teacher or papa, and the children like to look at him; a few would themselves like to be God. His house in the sky may be made of stone or brick; birds, children and Santa Claus live with God. Birds and beasts, their food and their furniture as Burnham points out, all talk to children when the dew Is on the grass “the grass is crying,” the stars are candles or lamps, perhaps cinders from God’s stove, butterflies are flying pansies, icicles are Christmas candy. Children have imaginary play—brothers and sisters and friends, with whom thej r talk. Sometimes God talks with them. Even the prosiest things are vivified; the trackr of dirty feet on the floor are flowers; a creaking chair talks; the shoemaker nails are children whom he is driving to school.

SELF-SATISFIED YANKEES

Briton Declares We Think ,We Have A Monopoly of Freedom. A carping Hnton by tne name of Whibley seems to be quite stirred up over the quality of the American brand of liberty and of patriotism. “Liberty” says he in the course of a few somewhat heated and overcapitalized remarks, in Blackwoou s magazine, "is a thing which no one in Ariierica can escape. The old inhabitant smiles with satisfaction as he murmurs the familiar word. At every turn it is clubbed into the unsuspecting visitor. “If an aspirant to the citizenship of the republic declined to be free he would doubtless be thrown into a dungeon, fettered and manacled, until he consented to accept the precious boon. “You cannot pick up a newspaper without being reminded that liberty is the exclusive possession of the United States. The worfl, if not the quality, is the commonplace of American history. It looks out upon you —the word again, not the quality every hoarding. It Is uttered in every discourse, but the truth is that American liberty is the mere creature of rhetoric.

"America’s view of patriotism is distinguished by the same Ingenious exaggeration as her view of liberty. She has as little doubt of her grandeur as of her freedom. She is. in brief, God’s own country and in her esteem Columbus was no mere earthly explorer; he was the authentic discoverer of the promised land. “Neither argument nor experience will ever shake the American's confidence tn his noble destiny. On all other questions uncertainty is possible. It is not possible to discuss America's supremacy. In arms as in arts the United States is unrivalled. It alone has been permitted to combine material with moral progress. It alone has solved the intricate problems of life and politics.

“It has the biggest houses, the best Government, and the purest law that the world has ever known. Perfect freedom is its exclusive privilege, as ‘kvFmnnr- qnd elevated railways are its exclusive possessions. Its ur vcrs.uti aui pasAMJxford.
