He got them drunk and then while they slept he and his friends murdered forty- one of them. This was but one of a long line of injuries the Modocs had ) ‘ to store up against the white men. Kintpuash was a sub-chief of the Modocs. The white men nicknamed and cleverly drawn specifications excluded the material of all competitors. Mr. MeAneny and his experts, backed by a new Board of Estimate and Apportionment, swept out the dark corners, opened the asphalt contracts to free competition, and as a result are now getting asphalt for the city for twenty-five cents a yard less than for- merly and securing a much better quality of pavement. Whether the city is getting a grade of asphalt equal to the best | in other capitals of the world time alone will tell. New York is not! ae well paved as it ought to be, but it is certainly better paved than it | ever was before. The heart of Manhattan, the shopping and hotel district, which | after all is bound to get the first and best of everything, has never, | despite vexatious and not always necessary delays, been so systemati- | cally and successfully repaved as during the past four years, If these four years have brought New York apprecia’ y nearer | the standard of the best paved cities, the credit undoubtedly belongs | to George W. McAneny. ‘The State Highway Department will do} well to listen to anything he has to say on the subject. | ——-¢=- cate NOW REMEMBER, Go RIGHT To You NO SIDE STEPPING RS Bin WON'T You Cone Ni WITH HE To D0 SOME MAS SHOPPING Why doesn't the City Planning Exhibition get up a swell design for the finish of Tammany? | = ae Oe PUBLIC PESTS—NO. 3. | People Who "t Know How to Carry a Cane or Umbrella, AVE you ever walked upstairs behind a man who carried his H cane sticking straight out from under his arm, or behind a) woman who poked her umbrella backward like a spear? Have you ever dodged the ferrule and feared for your eye until, oxasperated beyond endurance, you struck it down with your hand? It is amazing how many men and women in crowded public places in the city carry canes and umbrellas as if they were walking alone in a ten-acre lot. What more natural instinct when entering a crowded car or elevator, climbing a flight of steps or squeezing into a seat at the theatre than to hold stick or umbrella parallel with and close to the ‘body ? Yet how many people make “Public Pests” of themselves by carrying these articles at an open angle with their persons, thereby} poking and whacking their neighbors! een om him “Captain Jack.” When the Modocs were driven from their hunting grounds and herded onto the barren Klamath reservation he used his in- | fluence to keep them from resenting the shange.

Then, through the stupidity of a Klamath doctor, two members of “Captain Jack'e” family died. ‘Jack killed the doctor and fled for his life from the reser- vation, With him went a throng of warlike Modocs.

AAAS Capt, Jackson and a company of United States eay- alry from Fort Klamath came out to the Modoe village | to persuade the refugees to return to the reservation. The hotheads among the Modocs refused to go and clamored to start on the warpath, But Jack calmed them and told Capt. Jackson that he “would rather go than have war: While Jack and the cavalry captain were talking “Boston Charley” chamoed to come out of a nearby tepee, drawing @ pistol es he came, Capt, Jackson ordered a@ sergeant to arrest the man, The sergeant whipped out a revolver and advanced upon Charley, Soldier and Indian fired at the same instant, At sound of the shots the nerve-racking tension broke. Every one who carried firearms began to blaze away. Eight cavalrymen and fifteen Indians fell. In the confusion the Indians caught up their belongings and escaped unchecked, Jack at their head. He saw it was too late for compromise, The war was on, With his followers Jack made his way to a region known as the Lava MY WIFE Witt NEVER KNOW . | Reds, This was a stretch of country full of volcanic rocks, of caves and under- VEL DO MY SHOPPINGr TO NORROW t | ground passageways. No white man knew tho secret of these caves and passages, but to Jack they were as familiar as his own village. He knew that, | properly provisioned, a handful of men among the Lava Beds could fight off an army. And this is what he prepared to do. On the way to the hiding place the Modocs bh seized grain and cattle. murdered settlers and had Dashing forth on forays, they now committed new | depredations and collected more food and ammunition. | Gen, Wheaton, with a force of soldiers and fronttersmen ten times as great | In numbers as the defenders, marched against Jack. In vain the veteran United States troops and the hardy pioneers sought to dislodge the Indians. Wheaton fell back defeated with heavy lous. His expedition was a rank failure, Next came Gen, Gillem with another frontier army, and reinforced by mortar batteries, The troopers charged; the sharpshooters picked off every Indian that came for an instant into view; the mortars hurled scores of burst- ing shells into the lava fastnesses. The mortars alone troubled the defenders. Jack spoke of them as “the | guns that fired twice every time.” But in spite of this the troops were driven s easily as Wheaton's had been. Next, the Government asked for a conference. Ry this time Jack had thrown to the winds every Instinct except of killing. When the Commissioners, headed by Gen. Canby, came to the conference the Indians suddenly opened fire on them and sent them flying. Jack himself shot Gen, Canby dead, stripped the General of his gaudy uniform and wore {t himself in later batt! One fight followed another. At last, tiring of eooped up among the rocks, the Modocs began to desert, First eingly and then by dozens they surrendered to the Government. The few who at last remained betrayed “Captain Jack” to his foes, Jack was court-martialled and was condemned to death, along with three of ‘hls Meutenants, One of these three was “Boston Char whose folly had | brought on the war, All four were hanged at Fort Klamath on Got 3, 187% The Day's Good Stories. and from beneath Giadetone’s rug shook hanée Lending a Name. lik) ear peste (hrseahc Cie: ween eee te aed Defending the Lava Beds.
