onet But there flopped tbqrellnw flffg,
looking green now, In the rising mist of
the smokeless powder. How It mocked
them only they can know.; They dull
bed their rifles and beat the tangled
wires down. Then they ran.' tumbling,
: choking end crying, until tbe new turn
ed clods on the earthworks beneath the
flag met their eyes. The, major flung
Qp his arms, and the Ave the sergeant
j had picked np the mountaineer's rifle
! dropped down and fired. Que volley
rang out, then another, another and yet
two more, and 'they paused to load
again.
A bugle called the charge, and. still
cramming tbe cartridges borne, the lit
tle band rushed on.1 Another bogle call,
and Grimes yelled:
At 'em, at 'em. at 'em. er we'll get
left!" " ' ' ! -:r
Tlien they were where tbe mist and
the smell of the light- beld them com
plete. One more rod, and their feet
would be on dead earth. Grimes wav
ed bis rifle over bis bead, and tbe four
rookies formed a phalanx. In a time
of peace Grimea would have laughed I
at the1 sTuw they made. ' Funny?
Granted, but funuyt as grief l when
a man'a laugh grates and makes your
blood run cold. .
Then they marked ' time to the
rhythmical swing of Grimes' rifle, with
the bullets cutting , the air between
their very elbows. . uj
"Charger' - cried the major; and
Grimes'. rifle bumped bis forehead In a
salute.. And tbe phalanx charged even
ly, step by step, stride by stride, until
the major gave a yell that had been
Geronimp's and their feet were upon '
the yellow cloda . -
"Fire!" yelled Grimes. Five volleys
biased forth, and In a twinkle there
waa not a yellow face to be seen before
them, for the trench was empty.
There had been six of tbem at that
supreme moment and some hours later
there were only four, but tben the sun
bad gone down, and In tbe faroff isky
over the water tbe first lone star of tbe
Southern Cross burned like a watch
lantern agalnat the blue black aky. '
All about tbem thacainpflres burned,
and over tbe hill and valleys bummed
the sonnda of thousands of men rest
ing on their arms. Tbe four bad dug
two graves Just outside tbe breast
works between the trench and Hell
river, and In tbem they laid with rev
erent hands tbe bodies of the two he
roes tbe fat boy and the Indian. Tben
they covered them over-with the yel
low earth and left tbem where, they
bad fallen Just outside tbe works at
the moment of victory.
"What a death to die!" said Steve to
tbe major, and In reply, while Mike
Grimes and Steve stood with uncover
ed heads, the major lifted bis face to
tbe stars and uttered Geronlmo's yelL

An Interesting story of how General
Henry W: Lawtott received command
of the detachments which were assign;
ed by General Mile to capture Geronl
mo and Natcbes and their Apaches was
told In tbe army building recently.
v General Miles, it seems, bad made up
bis mind to send out a detachment of
Infantry and a detachment of cavalry
with orders not to return until GetonM
mo was either killed or captured. The .
orders bad not been Issued, but It waa .
qttHe generally known throughout the
department of the west that such a
move was contemplated. Every officer .
wbo was In any way ambitious waa
aching for a chance to bead tbe expedi
tion, but no, hint as to wbo would be ,
chosen could be obtained. - I
- It was known, however, that If a field I
officer was not appointed to command
the two . detachments General Miles
would assign a cavalry officer to the
past of: honor. - There was no chance .
that an infantry officer would be cho
sen. Meanwhile word bad com that j
Geronlmo bad crossed over tb line In
to Mexico. At that time, the, United
States government bad an areement
with Mexico whereby tbe armies of ei
ther nation when pursuing a hot trail
might cross the line and enter either'
country. They were also at liberty to
carry-prisoners back to tbe respective,
Countries. ?.-v.;v ;'i
Before ordering out bis expedition
General Miles,' accompanied by Major
Amos B.- Kimball, set out for a small
town on tbe Mexican border, where be
met tbe governor of tbe Mexican prov
ince into which Geronlmo had entered.;
The conference was satisfactory, and
General Miles on bis return to head
quarters stopped over at Fort Huachu
ea, where the Fourth cavalry was sta
tioned. The general was entertained,
by tb colonel of tbe regiment, and Ma
jor Kimball put up In Captain Law
ton's quarters. But little sleep be got
that nlgbt for Lawton wanted to com
mand that expedition, and he declared
that nothing else on earth would satis
fy blm. He sat' up half tb nlgbt Im
pressing but visitor with bis fitness for
tb command. . . . : .
Major Kimball bad beard of Lawton
before, as Indeed bad all tbe army. His
fame as a fighter was second to none,
In secret be bad formulated plans for
the capture .of the Apache chieftain,
and there was not a detail that bad
been overlooked. He outlined to Major
Kimball bis Ideas of how a successful
campaign Against tb Apaches should
be conducted, and In conclusion be pro
duced a letter from a former colonel
wbo bad recently been made a brigadier-
general, Tb : writer ' in recom
mending Captain Lawton for promo
tion, said that be felt that Lawton was
a man of so fine a record and soldierly
attainments that be besltated In recom
mending a man whom b knew; was
vastly superior to himself. "I feet"
concluded tbe new brigadier general,
"that Lawton should be recommending
me. . It la assumption on: my part to
prais him. 'He hi above sncb praise as
mine." That la. tb letter ran as nearly
Uk that as tbe officer wbo told this
story could remember. '
At all event General Miles and Ma
jor Kimball went te headquarters tbe
next morning, and before nightfall
Lawton was there, toov in response to a
telegram. Tbe captain was tben duly
detailed to command the expedition,
and la a day or so it started out .Gen
eral Leonard Wood, by b way. went
along as surgeon In tbe Infantry de
tachment f- :? r':---;:
Tbe expedition waa gone for month.
Occasionally a beUograpblc message
wen Id be received, but otherwise the
soldier bad disappeared aa completely
a though tbey bad never existed. Fi
nally a niessag cam to General Miles.
Geronlmo , and' Natcbes and. their
Apaches bad bees cornered In Mexico,
but tb wily old Apacb would sur
render to -no on but General Miles
himself. Lawtotr' consequently beld
tb Indian and sent for Miles.' J Tbe
general arrived some time after, and
Geronlmo surrendered. He wss put oa
a reservation and from that day waa
sever witbl emeUlng distance of bis
old stamping ground among tb rocks
and cacti of Arizona.
As for Captain Lawton.' be looked
Ilk a ghost according t Colonel Kim
ball, wb waa present at tb surrender.
There a nothing to blm apparently
but nefortii and bones, and bia me
wer no better. Surgeon Wood, It I
worth while saying, took command of
tb Infantry defactimerrt upon tb ill
Besf Its commander. '
. Soon after Captain Lawtott waa re
warded by a post to tbe Inspector gen
eral's oVpariioeirt-New York Sua.

conscious cruelty be practiced when a
mer child under the impression jthat
be was, really exercising virtue, appar
ently on the principle of doing to others
not. exactly "as be would have others
do to him," but "as others did to him."
His father, it seems, waa a great dis
ciplinarian. "Among other useful les
sons he was careful to teach bis little
son when at table to wait patiently till
his -elders eere served and on no ac
count to clamor for bia food; It was, be
reminded him, so vulgar and a mark of
111 breeding.: If "young hopeful" some
times forgot 'the precepts of maturer
wisdom. If be thoughtlessly thrust out
bis plate for more before the rest of tbe
company were dpne, bis lapse of mem
ory was generally assisted by a sharp
reprimand, aud Instead of the savory
ragout or' juicy tipsy cake upon which
be bad so greedily set bis heart be waa
presented with a piece of dry bread
and told to eat that v. .
In this way the lesson sank deeper.
But the little urchin was evidently of
opinion' that ' others' beaftes himself
should profit' by It, so be applied It In
bis own childish way to bis friends tbe
birds and the beasts. On visiting tbe
nest of thrush or blackbird In tbe early
spring hi - Indignation waa aroused
beyond words by the quite too scandal
ously greedy behavior of tbe noisy
young brood. - Each time be approach
ed four or five bright yellow throat
were stretched to their uttermost and
sncb a gobble, gobble, filled tbe air that
be felt be must really make an exam
ple of them and punish sncb Intolera
ble greediness. ,
pWlth bis own personal experience to
suggest the most approved of methods
be deliberately picked up a number of
pebbles from tbe gravel pathway and
calmly proceeded, to feed the Impress!,
ble fledgelings with morsels of sand
stone and grit So long as tbe young
birds continued to open their mouths
so long did he continue to drop down

me, quite satisfied that be waa simply

:. Regarding club root In cabbage, my
experience has been that tbe question
of soli ba more to do with the matter
than tbe manure. If yon have a piece
of strong, loamy soil. Inclining to clay,
with geed natural drainage, you have
a soil that with proper care In the
.details of preparation, fertilising, etc.,
can be safely counted on for a good
crop of tote cabbage If the right varie
ties are planted. But In that "field
there may be here and there places or
spots that sag below tbe general level
ot tbe rest of the field. Now, If during
the growing season of this crop there
come a few, downpours of rain, a large
proportion of the cabbage In those
spots will have "big root," as It Is
called here, bog manure or no bog
manure. Several years ago a prominent
butcher of our neighborhood occupied
a back corner of the farm we were
living on at tbat timer- Of course tve
bad the manure. He bad a trade that
called for large quantities of pork.
He bought cattle and pigs by tbe car
load. Tbe pigs worked up the offal,
and we drew the manure on. tbe cab
bage ground. Tbe blood from tbe
slaughter bouse was led to a large
trough In the plgyard adjoining. Ow
ing to Hhla latter fact we discovered
that the proportion of nitrogen was too
great even for cabbage. We then be
gan to mix It with tbe coarser product
of the barnyard by hauling out alter
nate loads of each to a pile in tne
field where It waa to be used. A cou
ple of turnings now and tben greatly
unproved tb mechanical condition
while Increasing tbe availability of tbe
coarse matter. If afraid to uae tbe
bog manure alone, why not adopt some
modifications of this plan?
I never saw any more danger from
tbe use of bog manure than any other
kind; the trouble has been thst I never
could get enough of It I recall also tbat
when I came Into possession or my
larger farm there bad been quite a
number or hogs rattened tue autumn
previous, and there was a pile of about
two good wagon loads or near nog
manure lying outside the pen.- Be
sides this, we tore down the old pen
that bad been built on the ground
about 50 years before, and It seemed at
the time that everything waa hog
manure for about two feet down. ' At
all events we drew out 12 good loads
altogether from tbat old pen and ap
plied tb whole lot wltb a half toa or
fertiliser, to an acre of ground for Into
cabbage, Tbe crop w sold in the
field for considerably more tban I paid
for tb ground. I wish we bad a dosea
or two of sncb things to clean up now.
I should be willing to Uke tbe chances
on "big root" by using It
I bar' beard tbl talk concerning
tbe danger of using bog manure for
cabbage as long as I can remember,
but In every Instance tbat has com
under my personal observation it baa
proceeded from a class of men wbo al
ways sow tbelr cabbage, seed ' when
tbe "sign are In the bead" snd kill
tbelr pork when tb moon to Bearing
tbe full, "so tbe meat wlll-awell to tbe
pot" To recapitulate: If I wished to
grow a crop of tote cabbage and tbe
around - was - bare,, no sod,-1 - should
draw all tbe coarse manure I could get
or pay for, not leas tban 20 loads per
acre, plow It under ss soon ss I could
to tbe spring, top dress wltb a few
load of fine stuff and about ene-balf
ton of good cabbage fertiliser analys
ing 4 per cent of nitrogen, S per cent
ef phosphoric add and 10 per cent of
potash applied broadcast, tben thor
oughly cultlvst not too deep one a
week tilt .planting time. This on a
aoll naturally or artificially well drain
ed (plant Vk by 2tt feet) on enght to
get f 123 an acre from tbat crop.
But a good crop of cabbage would not
be tb sole object of this thorough
treatment It I a well known fact
that there to no crop grown tbat to bet
ter calculated to clean up a weed In
fested pier of ground tbaa 1st cab
bage, tMcaoae to get a crop, even on
well matured ground, tbe cultivator
must be kept conauntly going, and this
