Back In 1837 a party of trappers invited some of his people to a feast, and then calmly murdered them. The governor of Chihuahua was offering $100 for every Apache scalp and the trappers needed money. But Cochise had a more personal grievance. He had been friendly to the Americans until 1861, when he went into an army camp under a flag of truce to deny that his people, the Chlrlcahuas, had stolen a white boy. The council was a long one and the officer in command became convinced that Cochise and his chiefs were lying. Turning to a sergeant he snapped, ArIn a second the council rest em tent was a whirlpool of action. Cochises brother was killed and four chiefs made prisoner. Cochise eut his way through the canvas tent and escaped in the darkness with three bullets in his body. As for the four chiefs they were hanged. Cochise went on the warpath. In the words of Capt.

But there was one white man whom Cochise respected. This was Capt. Thomas Jonathan Jeffords, owner of a freighting outfit. Cochise had burned Jeffords wagon trains and in retaliation the captain had killed many Apache warriors. Finally deciding that it was time for a truce, Jeffords boldly entered Cochise's stronghold In the Dragoon mountains and convinced the astonished chief that both would benefit by calling off their war. So they made a verbal peace treaty and became warm friends. Later, through Jeffords Influence, Cochise settled upon a reservation.

The White Mans Friend, was the name given him by some of his enemies among the Dakotas, who regarded him as a trimmer and a traitor; but to the whites who benefited by his friendliness he is affectionately remembered as Old Spot. Spotted Tail had not always been their friend. In his youth he had been the terror of the Oregon trail. He won his place among the great road agents by robbing the Kincaid stage coach of $20,000. After the defeat of the Brules by General Harney at the Battle of Ash Hollow, Neb., In 1855, Spotted Tail and two other chiefs, arrayed in their war costumes and chanting their death songs, rode into Fort Laramie to give themselves up as hostages that their people might be spared. The chief was held prisoner for two years and he profited by this opportunity to learn the ways of the white man. Although he became an advocate of peace, his policy of conciliation was not one of servility. Once when the government had failed to keep its promise to return the Brules to their ancestral home, the commissioner of Indian affairs came to confer with Spotted Tail. Rushing up to that official the Brule exclaimed: All of the men who come from Washington are d ones are the liars and the worst. You have but one thing to do and that is to give the order for us to -return to White Clay creek. If this is not done Inside of ten days I will order my young men to tear down and burn up everything in this part of the country. The chief had 4,000 warriors to back up his threat and the order was given. Another time he said to a commissioner: I hear you have come to move us. We have been moved five times. I think you had better put the Indians on wheels and then you can run them about wherever you wish. During the war of 1876-7-7 Spotted Tail performed his greatest service for the whites. He restrained the majority of the Brules from going on the warpath and he brought about the final surrender of his nephew. Crazy Horse. For this he was given the honorary title of chief of all the Sioux and the pay of a lieutenant in the regular army. But as head chief he proved to be a d act was tyrant. His last stealing the wife of another chief for which Chief Crow Dog, a relative of the Injured husband, on August 5, killed the great Brule. bald-heade- high-hande- This is your comer.

DEAN (1) I think it a great mistake that you have the car nearly every night, In the first place, for it is quite evident you are too young to be out that much at night and also too young to be paying so much attention to the girls.

Here is perhaps the song you asked for some time ago. It came all the way from Gold, Run, Calif., for us: Theres a pretty spot in Ireland, Where a little cottage stands, A rustic home I cherished all my life. Its rough and dingy. But was built by honest hands. And what a lovely jewel lived inside. It was not a costly jewel Which the wealth of gold could buy.

Here is a I was so stamped envelope in return. benefited by your letter I am going to ask a few more questions if you dont mind. (1) Is it proper for an engaged couple to sit on one anothers laps in the presence of their brothers and sisters? (2) Is it proper to allow a boy to put his arm around you if you have gone with him about two months and if you like him real well? In your letters to other girls I note that you advise them not to go with one steady fellow unless engaged, but to have several different ones. I have always been advised differently from tha and have been told it is not good form to go with more than one, and people would make the remark that she would go with anyone who would ask her. Will you please explain this matter to me? Now my dear Miss Brooks, I hope I am not intruding. Thanking you very much in advance and hoping I am not too , much bother, I am, nineteen-year-ol- d MIDGET. Meridian, Ida. It makes my heart glad to know you have received help In any way from my letters. (1) No dear, it is never proper to act as you describe, whether in the presence of others or alone. Simply because one is engaged does not permit of such familiarity. (2) Neither does acquaintance of two months standing allow such privileges as you mention in question number two. Girls should make a strenuous effort to entertain their young men friends in such a manner that they do not feel it necessary to resort to this medium of entertainment (?) I most certainly do not advise girls of 16 to 19 years of age allowing one boy to monopolize their attention. You have been advised incorrectly. You can choose your friends in this manner as by just as carefully having but one. During these ybara you are enjoying to the fullest your girlhood, and by associating with all the ueslrable boy friends of your acquaintance you learq, their dispositions, their good and bad qualities, and if, during these years you find a congenial spirit among them, well and good, for you are then old enough to tklsk about love, not before. But If you go with one boy steadily when very young, you are more than apt to imagine yourself in love very soon, without giving yourself a chance to know enough boys well enough to really know your own mind. I sincerely hope this will also help you. I have been a reader of your dear little corner, Just Between You and Me, and have enjoyed it. This is the first time I have written to you. I would be much pleased if you would answer my questions. (1) I have . blue eyes and black hair. What colors would be suitable for me? (2) I was born September 21. What Is my lucky day and my flower?
