I Romance of
4 Geronimo's Dauqhter. f
The daughter of Geronimo, the most
implacable foe that the white man ;
ever had, whose visit to the Trans- j
Mississippi exposition here is remein
bered, will wed one of the hatea race
?that is now authoritatively announced.
Lola, the "Red Rose of the Forest,"
as her people called her, will marry
Houston A. Ward, one of the wealthiest
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 nucleus
of a highly successful melo-drama.
It was while flying for life from a
prairie fire and a herd of stampeded
steers that the love of the young couple
was first revealed, and in such
dangerous surroundings was their ;
iroth plighted.
Houston A. Ward, who is certainly I
eager to become the son-in-law of one j
of the most notorious Indian chiefs
that ever shed blood on the borders of
Arizona, is the son of old Shanghai
s * Ward, a famous mustang king of the
Rio Grande country.
The old man died a few years ago,
leaving his only son a splendid fortune
in lands, mustangs and cattle.
Young Ward's boyhood was divided
between Texas and Illinois. He usually
spent the summers on his father's
ranch, and the winters in the north,
r - where he" attended school.
f? As the result of this simple career
he possessed a fine education and ne
is rather proud of certain trophies won j
on the playgrounds and a diploma
won in the class-rooms of the college
|v 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 in
the vicinity ^ of Fort Gill, where he
"V made the acquaintance of the pretty
) ?-Indian girl who will sone become his
wife. (
The gallant Texan frequently-sought ]
the company of the- dusky belle of the
~ border, often dancing and riding with ]
her, but he now says that he did not i
know that he loved her until one even- i
\ ing he found her fingers in his hair 3
and upon opening his eyes, in flame 1
and smoke, he felt the earth trembling i
beneath his feet, while his ears were 1
filled with noise of a cyclone. \
v Houston Ward had been riding t
about over the prairie looking at his fc
r. cattle, and, becoming tired, he dis- 1:
mnnntcw^ on^ low -
_ --- if J uw**u o U lue grass m c
the shade of a tree, leaving his pony a
to graze at will. d
He soon fell asleep and his pony f
, wandered off to mingle with a large li
herd of cattle and a big drove of
horses that were not far away. j
The grass was very tall and' most of ti
was dead and dry. Either some "1

air until a wind storm was driv^ .
k rapidly spreading fire before it. ,
The great herd of Texas steers .
stampeded the instant they scented fot
danger and started south, bellowing aid
with terror. The horses caught the so
contagion and mingled with the fly- in
tog steers, snorttftg.as if a pack of pan- "dthers
were at their heels.
There were about 500 full grown'
Texas steers in the herd aud seventy- '
Ave or eighty head of horses. ohf
This moving mass of frightened ani- so
mals started straight toward the tree , wi
y - -? ?-li- >- iv. _i ; ? t1 won waa i er
nnoer wxucu iue ^ ? <_.lying,
wholly unconscious of danger. tr<
Old Geronimo's daughter, mounted N<
on a magnificent horse, was riding
across the prairie when the fire broke th
. out and she saw the animals stampede* to
No one knew why she happened to be ol
there or how she knew that the hand|'jT
some young Texan was lying under
& the bone tree asleep.
- . - She saw the maddened herd, driven
by a sea of flame, rushing furiously of
olward 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 terror aside, she struck her R(
horse with the whip and rode straight
toward the rapidly approaching herd.
"When she reached the tree, the 03
front rank of the mad steers was not l3<
twenty steis away. The flames were
~ leaping in the air over the backs of h<
the animals in the rear, and the wind ei
was blowing a cloud of smoke and
dust above them. Horns were crack- 01
tag and horses were neighing. o:
Ward was just beginning to move
when the Indian girl bent over the a
6lde of her Quivering horse and seized s
his hair.
"Up quick!" she shrieked, "the c
lip world is on fire."
o
He sprang to his feet and compre- J(
hended the situation at a glance, he
>- first thought of ascending the tree, but
^ doubting whether he could perform the a
feat, he yielded to the girl's hand and 13
: guickly sprang upon the horse behind a
gg^iher. u
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 I
where the rescued man had been ly- t
ing. Their carcasses were trampled <
to jelly by the sharp hoofs of the flying
herd, '<
The sure-footed horse bore the In- 1
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 to j :
command his voice. j
"I know. I know," replied the girl, j
- "Maybe we can turn out of the way j
pretty soon," she added.
The earth seemed to tremble as if f
convulsed by an earthquake and the i
air was filled with a roar more ap j
palling than the noise of the cyclone. I
Ward turned his head and he was ;
surprised to see the red eyes of the j
mad brutes and their white horns almost
at his horse's tail.
Striking the foaming flank of the !
horse with his hat. he shouted:
"On. cn, Lola, or we are lost!"
She turned ner head and looked Into ;
his eyes.
"?.et me slip off," she whispered. '
"The horse could save you; I am too
man/.'
The Texan comprehended hef I'd Waning,
?ad in that moment Of peril ne
realized that the ihdian girl loved hiin.
Fearing that she might execute her
suggestion and sacrifice herself to save
him, he instantly grasped her in his
arms, and it was in that moment, of
peril that their tn... was plighted.
The horse came Upon smooth ground
an-d in a short time he began to get
further away from the herd.
"Right there," says the Texan, "1
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
happy."
The noble horse continued to increase
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 hurriedly
drawing the weapon he poured
a Stream of lead into the faces of the
cattle.
He was gratified to see that the progress
of the herd was slightly retarded
by the bodies of the several animals
that he killed.
Again the heroic girl suggested the
idea of sacrificing herself to s&ve the
man she loved-.
"If the hOrSe falls," she said, " you
must lie close to him and the cattle
will jump over you."
"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 oy
the side of our exhausted steed.''
The horse had no notion Of failing.
Once more his heels came in contact
with clear ground and he carried his
burden in triumph to the britk of the
little stream.
Ward turned his head and with a
shout of exultation he threw his hat
in the faces of the leaders of the Staifipeded
herd as the horse plunged into
the water that the flamCs Coiild hot
cross. The Texan knew that the hot
steers would stop to cool their parched
tongues, and when the horse had
crossed the river he pressed a kiss on ?
the Indian cheek and tVhisperel to
her:

THE MOUNTAIN-LION.
rr?e Amsr!can Moantaln-Lion the (ham-,
plon Koagli-and-T umble Fighter.
From a story in St Nicholas we
slip this description of the old-time
mountain lion:
There was a time when the American
mountain lion was one of the most formidable
animals in the world. The cat
s. the masterpiece of nature; and the
mountain lion was one of the most ter ibly
armed and powerful of the cat
amily. It was a compact mass of
>.&rd and tough muscle and gristle,
vith bones of iron, strong jaws, sharp
eeth, and claws like steel penknife
ilades. . It was prodigiously strong,
ithe, ard quick, covered with a mail
oat of loose skin that was as tough
s leather. It had the temper of a
emon, and was insatiably bloodthirsy.
Withal, it had the proverbial nine
ves of the cat tribe.
Against .such an animal it was hope ss
to match does. It was said, in
le seliool .books of 40 years ago, that
&ree Brithifi mastiffs can pull down
fcK grown Asiatic lion." Perhaps
tey could; ihut they would have been 1

merican mountain lion of that time. 1

Removing Dust from a Painted Floor.
An easy and satisfactory way to remove
dust from a painted floor is to
wot a flannel bag, wring it out as dry

drag it in even strokes over the floor.
All the dirt will in this way be collect^
ed in one place and can be easily takeh
up without leaving streaks of dust on

BoyV Rooms.
Considerable is said about girls'
rooms, but little is said of boys' rooms.
The inference is left that any room

manly boy usually dislikes a room
fixed in milliner s fashion, with ribbons
and hangings of cretonne or silk,
but Ke usually has a decided taste of
Ills own if fie is an intelligent Doy, anu
even more pronounced likes and dislikes
than his sister. He generally
prefers a simple, rather hard bed, with
plenty of pillows. A bedstead of brass,
or iron trimmed with brass, is a suitable
one. Put into his room a "chest
of drawers," with a glass at the top.
Let the washstand be an affair of
metal, an English shape of ample di- j
mensions, with a large basin and foot f
tub for splashing. There should be a ?
lounge or an easy lounging chair and j

t space under the seat where the black- I

A DOG SCHOOL.
An Institution in Parts Devoted to
Canine Culture.
!n 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, some
chairs and a table or two. On the
j school assembling in the morning the
roil 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 rotation.
each animal being trained to
respond with a sharp, quick bark and
a wag of the tail. The first lessoi'l after
the performance of the reguiation
discipline is to learn to welcome visitors.
No matter who comes into the
room unexpectedly, each dog is taught
to greet the newcomer with a low,
short bdrk. The animal must also
jump lip and wag his tail, but must
keep far enough away from the visitor
to cause him no discomfort. Each dog
gbes through this performance three
times, and returns io its place in line
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
the dogs are taught gallantry. For
instance, if you drop your handkerchief
at one end of the room and an educated
dog happens to be at the Other, he
*ill scamper along to pick it iip; then
comb running after you with h few'
barks to attract your attention^ after
which he surrenders his burden tnost
fastidiously; The dogs are taught to
hick up any dropped article in this
fashion.
Prancing, dainiy little steps are
taught the animals for the street, as
well as a deep and profound obeisdncd.
A visitor to any house where an educated
dog is kept never leaves without
the dog following her to the door eith*
sr beside or behind its mistress. Then,
stretching out its fore paws, it bends
the front part of its body Until its
bead rests on the floor. It does not
rise, moreover, until the door is closed.

Women Should learn to Lau~li.
Laughter is a good, healthy, musclemaking,
lung-developing exercise, and
it is as good for girls as boys. And
, humor can be cultivated in a girl's
mind without any abatement of the
dignity and modesty and charm of her
womanhood. Not the unpleasant and
constant frivolity evidenced in "smart"
I speech or quickness of repartee, but
the humor that looks at the world with
a twinkle in the eye and sees its absurdities,
its smallnesses and its fun.
It should be part of every woman's
mental equipment, for women are
called upon to bear so many of life's
small worries as well as its greater
cnes. The bringing up of children, the
care of servants and the many social
duties that become a burden?all are
made easy and possible to put up with
by the woman with an unfailing sense
of the bright side of life. It is a sense

The Prlnce?3*? Wheel.
A story which is told by an Italian
paper of the young Princess Laetizia,
cousin of the king, shows that the
young lady has a mind of her own,
not unlike other girls not of princely
birth. She is characterized as the madcap
of the royal family, which has
lived in terror of her next prank. Several
times her escapades have thrown
her into disgrace with even the genial
King Humbert; but on at least one occasion
she came off triumphant
When the bicycle began to be popular,
the Princess Laetizia bought one,
and startled the proprieties by riding
publicly in the streets of Turin.
This wa?< bad enough, but when her
- - 1 t? i i -1
royal hlguness appeared in Knicntrbockers,
it became too bad. The news
reached the king's ears, and he at once
forbade the royal guards to salute the
princets when she passed the palace
gates.
The princess was angry, but persisted.
At last she was forbidden to ride
the bicycle, and ordered to Rome to
justify h?T conduct if she could. She
went with her bicyoic, and once there
she pleaded so' effectually and eloquently
that the king and queen consented
to see her ride in the palace
gardens, and having seen?ordered bicycles
themselves!
Queen Marghcrita in particular became
a very expert wheelwoman, and
se/cral marvellously beautiful wheels
were presented to her, one of which
contained much ivory wrought with
precous stones ;n its construction.
The Princess Laetizia returned to
Turin in triumph, but the knickerbockers
remained a strictly forbidden joy!
Neckwear for Spring.
In the stock-collar proper there is
nothing new or striking. They are the
same plain collars that have been worn
for seasons and seasons, and will continue
long to reign.
The double effect stock, with metal
buckle in front, that came out last season,
will still be la mode this year.
Persian effects for neckwear are quite
passe, and much lighter, more delicate
touches prevail.
Heavy materials are decidedly out of
favor for neckwear. Satin is very little
seen, the same sheeny effect without
the weight is secured by using liberty,
mousseline or similar materials.
A very attractive new effect is gained
in many of the new scarfs by tucking,
tne work being so delicately done as to
appear as if falling into natural folds.
These new tucked ideas promise to be
exceedingly popular.
Another late idea is to cut the ends
of a neck scarf out, the cut-out portion
being edged with delicately fluted
inousseline. Fxcecdingly dainty white
ones have narrow bars of black velvet
ribbon crossing over the cut-out portion.
A novel idea is to have a stock and
sailor ti? of any shade silk, with just
the knot alone made of black velvet.
A network of chenille over taffeta is
among the new bca creations. The ends
are long str eamers of chenille.
The match-set idea. so prominent in
sets of boa and muff during the winter
will be extremely fashionable for
spring, the sets to consist of boa and
hat.
^ Many of the most swagger boas are
' flower trimmed, while many for evening
wear are made exclusively of blossoms.
Violets and roses are far and
away the most-used flowers. On some
littl-9 deerlike effects, in pearls and
rhinestones, add to their elaboration
and effec:.?Philadelphia Record.
I'leatcd and Flonnced Skirls.
The pleated and kilted skirt is being
revived again and promises to be more
m vogue than it was two years ago. A
i few winter costumes have shown
! tucked and pleated skirts, but the
spring models show hardly a single
skirt that is riot tucked or pleated. 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 bodices
were most elaborate, with bold
braided effects done on cloth to contest
with the serge?mandarin yellow
for a blue dress and emerald green for
a black one. Sprigged taffeta shirts,
pieated 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 establishments
is pronounced;
Three novel dresses were shown the
other day in a department store whose
dressmaking department is deservedly
famous. Two have skirts made the
same length all round, one with a deepkilted
flounce, another with a. fluted
appearance from a pointed yoke, and
th> third is a very picturesque model,
carried out in chestnut velvet with a
broad wals? belt and paniers on the
hips and a long Directoire coat with
revers;
A new skirt inspiration, one with
kiited pleats all the way round, tucked
at the edge, very narrowly in front,
hut widening toward the back, is of
mauve taffetas, and a perfectly fresh
idea is shown in the bodice, too, seeI
ing that it is trimmed with undulated
lace insertions, picked out with gold
and steel thread and paillettes. Daintiest
little tassels of mauve silk and gold
and silver cord, also very handsome
buttons, contribute their share to the
general success, and a lovely toque of
the round Spanish turban kind crowns
the whole endeavor, the brim a garland
of roses, from palest pink to deepest
crimson, and the crown a bed of petals.

Alexandra's Uniquo Position.
Many people suppose that Queen
Alexandra has unique powers in her
own right, by reason of her being consort
of the occupant of the throne.
This, however, is quite an erroneous
idea, for, although she has many privileges,
she is in -reality the king's subject
and amenable to the nation's laws.
It is only since the reign of Mary
that the consort has been given any
privileges at all, an act of parliament
then being passed to render any one
plotting against Philip of Spain guilty
of high treason. Today, therefore,
Queen Alexandra is protected by this
law, but should the king die any one
who plotted against her could not be
dealt with upon a charge of high treason,
for her previous protection would
be annulled by her husband's demise.
Neither could she marry again without
the consent of the new monarch, which
in this case would, of course, be her
[ son.
The king can do no wrong, but the
queen consort can. The British laws
would permit her creditors to sue her
if they wished, just as she could sue
the humblest subject in the realm. She
J can engage in business, though all documentary
transactions must be signed
by her as queen of Britain. In a busi|
ness transaction the consort is not recognized
as the spouse of the king, but
as a person capable of conducting her
own affairs without the interference of
the reigning monarch, nor can she
command his interference, but would
have to settle a dispute in the ordinary
way.
All state documents are signed by
the king, but not by the queen consort,
for she has no authority to take an
active part in state matters at .all.
Should the king be ill, however, he can
appoint her as his proxy, and, by a
* - 1 11 ^ ArtlllW.
special nueust.', giciui, uci puwcio c^unalent
to his own. In this case her signature
at the foot of official documents
would be as euectual as if they were
signed by the king himself. One peculiar
privilege of Queen Alexandra's is
that she is the only married woman in
the country who is not amenable to th.s
married woman's property act, though
she is bound by every other law.
The king is in no way responsible
for his wife's debts, as any other husband
would be. To define this laV
more clearly it was decided during the
reign of William IV that the queer
consort should* have a separate revenue.
Formerly it was customary for
her to have one-tenth of her husband's
income, which was called "queen's
money," until the act was passed authorizing
a grant apart from the king's
to be made her annually. She is exempt
from all taxes as being the wifs
of the king, though she is recognized
as a public person and is represented
in courts by her own attorney and solicitor-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 she
lives, but upon his death all her formei
privileges vanish. She can at no time
interfere in ecclesiastical matters, noi
can she reprieve a prisoner nor sign a
death warrant.
