C. 2* PASQUAL. ? -I Pauqual wuu wur-? hlvf of the Vuiua.i Indians (why called (bnicitolvili "Hon* of tho Kiver.") The Yuma river, for j much of Its course, runs through a desert. Vegetation (before Irrigating I <ili< hes were made) was once to be | found only along the river banks. On j these banks (be Yuma savagej lived. For to venture far Into the desert was j to court Htarvatlon. Yet the desert trails and hiding places were known to the Yumas, and tho sands were often reddened with their battles. Pasqual- typical desert warrior, gigantic in height, thin, wiry, stolid -knew every Inch of tho sand wastes and each strategic advantage j offered by them. His father was a Chief, and was killed in battle against the Tonto Indians on tho Gila river early in tho nineteenth century. Pas qual was chosen in the dead leader's place as Sachem and war-chief of tho Yumas. Then came tho Mexican war. And In Its wake came soldiors and white settlers. California was conquered and an era of bustling progress set in. Tho land on both sides of the Colorado river was invaded by the home-seeking frontiersmen. Arrow Versus Rifle Bullet. Pasqual had no idea of letting the whito man steal the most fertile parts of his wide domain. Bo quarrels sprang up between settlors and sav ages. And, as usual, tho pioneers sent a call for he'P to the soldiory. Accordingly, in 1848, Cnpt. Heintzel man (later a general in the civil war) was sent with a force of troops to overawe the Yumas. The conflicts ? that followed were terribly unequal. The troops wore well-trained veterans, armed with the latest and best guns and carrying cannon as well. Pasqual understood only Indian warfare, and bis wild warriors had no weapons ex cept their bows, arrows and native spears. Yet tho splendid generalship of Pasqual and the fierce courage of his Yuma braves almost made up for these defects. In fight after fight Pasqual hurled his red legions upon the advancing white men with such reckless fury that tho far better equipped soldiers were driven back tyefore the hail of native arrows. For a time primitive savagery threatened to block the path of progress, and the old time arrow seemed to hold its j own against the modern rifle bullet! and cannon- ball. Yet in the end, of course, tho gov ernment forces triumphed! In the skirmishes the troops made, but a poor showing against tho horde of fear less, gigantic Yumas; but musket and cannon in open field engagements left only one result possible. Tho Yumas were mowed down like grain. Their ranks were v steadily thinning, while there were always new men capable of taking the placo of fallen soldiers. Pasqual was at last forced to" give up the one-sided struggle. "? The desert warrior was obliged, for his people's sake, to. lay aside his weapons and teach his braves to be come farmers, traders, etc. As set tlers and nearby Mexicans .cheated them and undersold them, the Yumas yearly grew poorer. At length, coop ed into their barren reservation, they became a ragged, miserable gypsy like crew. ? : ? A Savage's Odd Journey. When he was ninety-four years old PasquaJ journeyed to San Francisco to plead for his peoplo's betterment. It was his first visit to a large city. The populace gazed In wonder at the solemn, shriveled old giant wlj^ stalk ed in wonder at tlieltas ianidluwyp^o ed so unconcernedly through the ? ^ of trafllc and through a bewlld succession of sights that must i seemed stranger to him than would a visit to Mars to most people. Riding on the cable cars was the one pas time that seemed to excite his won der. The war chief, who had once claim ed nearly half n continent as his king dom, passed his declining days in a poverty more squalid than that of any eastern beggar. (Copyright.) Told of Dr. Wiley. Soon after the president's order was asiicd to the effect that no informa tion was to be given a congressman by any employe of the government, and only heads of the departments could furnish information, Dr. Wiley met a member of congress. "Hood morning, doctor; how arc you this morning?" was the greeting. "I can't tell you," promptly respond ed the doctor; "you'll have to ask the secretary." One of the best examples of his quickness of repartee is the exclusive property of the women of the bureau of chemistry. They all call him "the Big Chief." Once u petite young woman of the bu reau met the doctor as he was pass ing along the corridor to his office. "C.ood morning, nig Chief," she said. "Good morning, Little M iB-Chlef," retorted the doctor. Hypnotic 8peaker. "Would you prefer to take my ?peech In shorthand," said Senator Sorghum, "or directly on the typewrit er." "If it's all the same," replied th? ?tenographer, "I'll take It directly on the typewriter. The noise of the mi ohine will help to keep me awake." Baruch-N ettles Co Ready - Made 01 o t K e s You know how it is; many men, even when they wear ready-made 4 elotheij, feel that they'd really Lie hotter off if their clothes were made to-order. Thoupands of low-priced "custom" tailors exist to-day whol. ly on this ancient prejudice; many thousands of men annually have their clothes "made-to-measure" at about the cost or a little higher ?cost than fine ready-made, on the theory that they're Retting "some thing better;" paying tribute to tho tapo lino "fetish." Tj/io Correct View of it But you'll find now many men who make no apology, even to themselves, for wearing ready-made \ V >. - ;? ? ' ? . "V clothes; they think they'ro better clothes. Well, they're right; and the others are wrong. It wasn't al ways so, but it's AO now. Your tai lor cant produco, at anywhere near , the price, as good a suit cl clothes as you can buy, ready-made, of any clothier who handles ours. The old arguments ? money-sav ing; time-saving; seeing the clothes finished and on you; knowing about fit, and style, and becomingness be fore you pay your money; ? tlieao are all good arguments for ready made clothes. ~Uhc S/Sest jirgument ofjrfll ' | But the best argument now is the quality; ready-made clothes aro bet ter ? In style, In tailoring, in qual ity of materials, in fit ? than ninety five per cent of so-called "custom tailored" clothes; ready - mado clothes like ours are the standard by ^hich to measure the "custom tailored" product; - the situation has been reversed by our goods .
