Romance of ) I Geronimo's Daughter. $ The daughter of Geronimo, the most implacable foe that the white man ever had, whose visit to the Trans Mississippi exposition here is remem bered, will wed one of the hated race -that is now authoritatively announc ed. Lola, the "Red Rose of the Forest," as her people called her, will marry Houston A. Ward, one. of the wealth iest and most accomplished young men in Southern Texas. And this happy culmination grows out of a singularly beautiful romance, one scene of which is blood-curdling and exciting enough to form the nucl eus of a highly successful melodrama. It was while flying for life from a prairie fire and a herd of stampeded steers that the love of the young cou ple was first revealed, and in such dangerous surroundings was their troth plighted. Houston A. Ward, who is certainly eager to become the son-in-law of one of the most notorious Indian chiefs that ever shed blood on the borders of Arizona, is the son of old Shanghai Ward, a famous mustang king of the Rio Grande country. The old man died a few years ago, leaving his only son a splendid for tune in lands, mustangs and cattle. Young Ward's boyhood was divided between Texas and Illinois. He usu ally spent the summers on his father's ranch, and the winters in the north, where he attended school. As the result of this simple career he possessed a fine education and ne is rather proud of certain trophies won on the playgrounds and a diploma won in the class-rooms of the college at Campaign, 111. Last summer the grass was scarce in the Rio Grande valley, and Houston Ward shipped some 400 or 500 head of cattle to the Indian Territory. Finding abundant pasture lands, the young man remained for some time lu the vicinity of Fort Gill, where he made the acquaintance cf thc pretty Indian girl who will sone become his wife. The gallant Texan fr? ^uently sought the company of the dusky belle of thc border, often dancing and riding with her, but he now says that he did not know that he loved her until one even ing he found her fingers in his hair and upon opening his eyes, in flame and smoke, he felt the earth trembling beneath his feet, while his ears were filled with noise of a cyclone. Houston Ward had been riding about over the prairie looking at his cattle, and, becoming tired, he dis mounted and lay down on the grass in the shade of a tree, leaving his pony to graze at will. He soon fell asleep and his pony wandered off to mingle with a large herd of cattle and a big drove of hqjses that were not far away. The grass was very tall and most of "?r~wasTtTeauT and dry. .Kither soffi? careless cowboy dropped a match ox a spark from a hunter's gun set the prairie on fire. A strong breeze was blowing from the north and, as usual in such cases, it looked as if the flames increased the commotion in the air until a wind storm was driving ths rapidly spreading fire before it. The great herd of Texas steers stampeded the instant they scented danger and started south, bellowing with terror. The horses caught the cuntagion and mingled with the fly ing steers, snorting as if a pack of pan thers were at their heels. There were about 500 full grown Texas steers in the herd and seventy five or eighty head of horses. This moving mass of frightened ani mals started straight toward the tree under which the sleeping Texan was lying, wholly unconscious of danger. Old Geronimo's daughter, mounted on a magnificent horse, was riding across the prairie when the fire broke out and she saw the animals stampede? No one knew why she happened to be there or how she knew that the hand some . young Texan was lying under the bone tree asleep. She saw the maddened herd, driven by a sea of flame, rushing furiously oRward toward the place where young Ward was lying, and knowing that his horse had strayed away and that no earthly power could turn the living wave of teri-o? aside, she struck her horse with the whip and rode straight toward the rapidly approaching herd. When she reached the tree, the front rank of the mad steers was not twenty steps away. The flames were Ieapirg in the air over the backs nf the an'mals in the rear, and the wind was blowing a cloud of smoke and dust above them. Horns were crack ing and horses were neighing. Ward was just beginning to move when the Indian girl bent over the side of her quivering horse and seized his hair. "Up quick!" she shrieked, "the world is on fire." He sprang to his feet and compre hended the situation at a glance, he first thought of ascending the tree, but doubting whether he could perform the feat, he yielded to the girl's hand and quickly sprang upon the horse behind her. As the noble animal turned the horns of th steers crushed against the tree and several of the big grutes fell headlong, rolling over the very spot where the "rescued man had been ly ing. Their- carcasses were trampled to jelly by the sharp hoofs of the fly ing herd. The sure-footed horse bore the In dian girl and the Texan away at the top of his speed, but more than 500 head of furious beasts were close to his heels and it was four miles to a place of safety. "Ride straight to the river," shout ed Ward, as soon as he was able '.o command his voice. "I know, I know," replied the girl. "Maybe we can turn out of the way jretty soon," she added. The earth seemed to tremble as if convulsed by an earthquake and the air was filled with a roar more ap palling than the noise of the cyclone. Ward turned his head and he was surprised to see the red eyes of the mad brutes and their white horns al most at his horse's tail. Striking the foaming flank of the horse with his hat. he shouted: "On, on, Lola, or we are lost!" She turned her head and looked into his eyes. . ' "Let me slip off," she whispered. "The horse could save you; I am too man/. ' Tho Texan comprehended her mean ing, and in that moment of peril ne realized that thc indian girl loved him. Fearing that she might execute her ?suggestion and sacrifice herself to save him, he instantly grasped her in his armr., and it was in that moment ot peril that their tiw was plighted. Thc horse came upon smooth ground and in a short time ne began to get further away from the herd. "Right there," says the Texan, "I made up my mind to love that little Indian girl forever, and I resolved mat, if we escaped the danger that pursued us, I would do everything in my power during life to make her nappy." The noble horse continued to in crease the distance between his hee?s and the sharp horns of his pursuers until he again encountered rough ground. Ward at this moment for the first time, thought of his pistol, and hur riedly drawing the weapon he poured a stream of lead into the faces of th-3 cattle. He was gratified to see that the pro gress of the herd was slightly retard ed hy the bodies of the several ani mals that he killed. Again the heroic girl suggested the idea of sacrificing herself to save the , man she loved. "If the horse falls," she said, " you must lie close to him and the cattle will jump over you.'r "It was evidently her intention." says Ward, in referring to the matter, "to stand on the body of the horse in case he fell and make an effort to frighten the steers while I crouched by the side of our exhausted steed." The horse had no notion of falling. Once more his heels came in contact with clear ground and he carried burden in triumph to the brink of t little stream. Ward turned his head and with shout .of exultation he threw his h in the faces of the leaders of the stai peded herd as the horse plunged in tho water that the flames could n< cross. The Texan knew that the h< steers would stop to cool their parche tongues, and when the horse ha crossed the river he pressed a kiss c the Indian cheek and whispered I her: "You have saved my life, and it b< longs to you." And he will keep his word.-Omah World-Herald. THE MOUNTAIN-LION. The American Moimi r. M. Lion tho Chum pion ICoujjh-iincI-Tumblo Fighter. jjroin a story in St. Nicholas w< clip this description of the old-tiim mountr.in lion: There was a time when the Americai mountain lion was one of the most for midable animals in the world. The ca is the masterpiece of nature; and Itu mountain lion was one of the most ter ribly armed and powerful of the cai family. It was a compact mass ol hard and tough muscle and gristle with bones of ircn, strong jaws, sharp, teeth, and claws like steel penknife blades. It was prodigiously strong, lithe, and quick, covered with a mail coat of loose sltln that was as lough as leather. It ha J the temper of a demon, and was insatiably bloodthirs ty. Withal, it had the inoverbial nine lives ci the cat tribe. Against such an animal it was hope less to match dogs. It was said, in the school books of 40 years ago. that nirtc Urittali rn ci at 1 ff o ctn* -pull d\>\vn a full grown Asiatic lion." Perhaps they could; but they would have been sorry if they had tackled a full grown American mountain lion of that time. He was not to be "pulled down" bj anything; and if he had been "pulled clown," that was exactly the position in which he fought best. With his back protected by the earth, and all four fearfully armed paws flying free, aided by his terrible teeth, and a body so strong that it could not be held in any position-well, when he was "down" was the time that he was most "up." He once was found in all thc Rocky mountain regions, from the jaguar haunted tropical forests of the extreme south to the home of the northern winter blizzard; but he attained his greatest size and ferocity on the sub tropical plateau of northern Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. These animals are no longer what they were. The tourist or hunter of today cannot hope to find any of the old time power or ferocity. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. A good husband is but the evolution of a good son. Facile gratitude always carries Avith it an atmosphere of insincerity. Until you have scaled the heights of joy do not call petty pleasures happi ness. Thc sympathetic woman is the worn on who is longest and most widely beloved. It's all right for charity to begin at home, but it's very wrong to have it end there. As soon as we are quite content with ourselves others begin to notice marks of degeneration. . Marital contentment consists in the ability of the concerned parties to re spect the individuality of each other. The talent of reservation is little cultivated. To reserve a little either of confidence or money works excel lently well. There never was a man whom an artful woman could not persuade that he was unappreciated, nor a vain wom an who ever felt that she was quite understood.-Philadelphia Record. Ile Meant the Hird. A man once received as a present from a sea captain a fine specimen of the bird known as the "laughing jack ass." As he was carrying it home he met a brawny- Irish navvy, who stopped him: "Phwat kind of a burrd Is that, sorr?" asked the man. "That's a laughing jackass," ex plained the owner, genially. The Irishman, thinking he was being made fun of, was equal to the occa sion, and responded, with a twinkle of the eye: "It's not yerself-it's the burrd I mane, sorr!"-London Spare Moments. .'robres? in Korea.

An Institution in Paris .-Devoted to Canine Culture. In M. Edward Gillette's school of etiquette for dogs in Paris canines are trained. The school room-is a large square apartment, furnished with a few rugs on its polished, floor, somo chairs and a table or two. On the school assembling in the morning the roll is called. The teacher, looking exceedingly dignified,. taps his desk, and the dogs immediately form in line. Then, in a pleasant but commanding voice, he calls the dogs' names in ro tation, each animal being trained to respond with a sharp, quick bark and a wag of the tail. The first lesson af ter the performance of the regulation disciplino is to learn to welcome visi tors. No matter who comes into the room unexpectedly, each dog is taught to greet the newcomer with a low, short bark. The animal must also jump up and wag his- tai!, but must keep far enough away from the visitor to cause him no discomfort Each dog goes through this performance three times, and returns to its place in lino like a soldier. If a dog is unruly, it is marched to a chair in the corner, of the room and made to crouch on its hind legs beside it and pray for half an- hour. Then tho dogs aro taught gallantry. For instance, if you drop your handkerchief at one end of the room and kn educat ed dog happens to be at the other, he will scamper along to pick it up, then come running after you with a .few barks to attract your attention, after which he surrenders his burden most fastidiously. The dogs are taught to pick up any dropped article in this fashion. Prancing, dainty little- *reno The Liveriad Saleswoman. An ambitious woman of high degree who has deserted the teas and balls of society to keep a shop where bonnets and corsets, neckwear and lingerie arc on sale, has adopted, or at least caused her assistants to adopt, uniforms which add not a little to the interest and novelty of the shop to its customers. The millinery sales-woman wears a de murely becoming gown of black, with i.eckband and cuffs of white lace threaded through with black bebe rib bon. The two small girls who run er rands, open the door and wait on the saleswomen wear frocks of brown serge with .cuffs and collars and belts of bright red cloth. The lingerie sales women wear blue serge frocks, with white muslin collars and cuffs. The ef fect is that of order, system and busi ness.-New York Commercial-Adver tiser.

In two dresses made recently in one the kilt was tucked thrice near the edge of the skirt, and in the other the pleats were left to flow loose several inches above the edge. Though severity was thus meted out to the skirts, the bod ices were most elaborate, with bold braided effects done on cloth to con trast with the serge-mandarin yellow for a blue dress and emerald green for a black one. Sprigged taffeta shirts, pjeated down the fronts, were given to the frocks, and big tassels connected the sailor collars in front. The rage for tassels in the best dressmaking es tablishments is pronounced. I Three novel dresses were shown tho blher day in a department store whose ilressmaking department is deservedly famous. Two have skirts made thc same length all round, one with a deep lilted flounce, another with a fluted appearance from a pointed yoke, and Ole third is a very picturesque model, carried out in chestnut velvet with a Broad waisfc heit and paniers on the Mps and a long Directoire coat with revers. I A new skirt inspiration, one with iCiited pleats all the way round, tucked jit the edge, very narrowly in front, put widening toward the back, is of mauve taffetas, and a perfectly fresh jd ea is shown in the bodice, too sec tog that it is trimmed with r.idula;-*! ace insertions, picked out with goll ind steel thread and paillettes. Dain.i pst little tassels of mauve silk and gold and silver cord, also very handsome buttons, contribute their share to thc jeneral success, and a lovely toque ol ?he round Spanish turban kind crowns the whole endeavor, thc brim a garland qt'i roses, from palest pink to deepest W aln' aml ,hc crown a hed of petals. 60c. / York Commercial-Advertiser.

In this case her sig nature at the foot of official documents would be as eucctual as if they were signed by thc king himself. One pecu liar privilege of Queen Alexandra's is that she is the only married woman in thc country who is not amenable to the married woman's property act, though she is bound by every other law. Tho king is in no way responsible for his wife's debts, as any other hus band would be. To define this law more clearly it was decided during the reign of William IV that the queen consort should have a separate rev enue. Formerly it was customary for her to have one-tenth of her husband's income, which was called "queen's money." until thc act was passed au thorizing a grant apart from the king's to be made her annually. She is ex empt from all taxes as being thc wife of the king, though she is recognized as a public person and is represented in courts by her own attorney and so licitor-general. Although in the eye of the law she is a subject of the king, she is entitled tc all the king's honors so long as sh? lives, but upon his death all her forme; privileges vanish.

In health no one ought to drink very freely of ice water, for it has occasion ed fatal inflamations of the stomach and bowels, and sometimes sudden death. Tiic temptation to drink it is very great in summer. To use it at all with any safety a person should take but a swallow at a time, taking the glass from thc lips for half a minute, and then another swallow, and so on. It will bc found that in this way lt be comes disagreeable after a few mouth fuls. On the other hand, ice itself may be taken as freely as possible, not only without injury, but with the most striking advantage in dangerous forms of disease. A kind of cushion of powdered ice kept to the entire scalp has allayed vio lent inflammation of the brain, and ar rested fearful convulsions induced by too much blood there. All inflammations, internal or exter nal, arc promptly subdued by the ap plication of iee or ice water, because it is convex d into steam, and rapidly conveys away t.ie extra heat, and also diminishes the quantity of blood in the vessels of thc part. Insomnia may be relieved by wet ting a towel in ice water and laying it on the back of the neck, covering it over with a dry towel smoothly folded. It is also particularly useful in case of a dull headache. A piece of ice laid on the wrist will often arrest violent bleeding of the nose.-The Ladies' World. Hoys' Rooirw.
