Story of How Two Women Struggled 'or Its Poascsalon. The tiny little Infant who reposed In the Incubator at the St. Louis Fair has, since the close of thut exposition, attracted more attention than It did during the eutlre time that It waa the object of interest of the sightseers. At the clone of tho Exposition, two vomen sought possession of tho child, each claiming It to be ber own. Each secured a writ giving her tho custody of the child through decrees of differ ent courts, but Mrs. Dleakley, who had at first been awarded the care of tho Infant through tho ruling of tho law at Mollno, Illinois, took tho law into her own hands when tho court at Law rence, Kansas, decided against her. According to his own story, Senator Fred D. Smith, of Kinsley, played an important role in tho caso when tho mother of the "Incubator baby" re cently disappeared suddenly with the baby from Lawrence. m "When Mrs. Dleakley left tho court room at Lawrence after the decision against her," ho stated, "and returned to bor mother's houso Bhe waa noarly frantic. In mere desperation sho fled from the back door and sought refuge in a college fraternity house nearby and begged the boys to help her. It was then nearly G o'clock, and the parents of one or the boys, a red headed frat. youngster, were expect ed to bo on Santa Fo train No. 6 en route to Kansas City, and this boy had a hack In readiness to drive him to the train. The boys promptly raised Hurse ol fSG to Set come clothes for Mra. Mlcakeley and tho ba.iT, bundled her Into the back, and took h-r to the Bantu Ke train. They were romiwlled to wait a few mlnulea, and while they Nat In the back JinIkb Kmart, who had awnrded the baby to the other woman, liftHxed It on tila way to the Ottawa train. "When the train ramo In Mrs. Dleake ley vtaa jilaed on the I'ullman with out attrnctlnir any attention and put In rhnrgo of the frat. boy's parenta. "Tho parenta were simply ordered to nee Mra.

H, Jtay, Wllla county, wan on the train, a man as blc In proMrtlon as his own rounty, dig of body and IIk of heart. He made tho aeqiiuliitanee of the father of the frat. boy, and In bis dilemma tie lat across from the Santa Fe to the Hock Island train, which might be late, with out observation. The Sheriff prompt ly overruled that plan and It was agreed that Mrs. Illeakeley should re main In the I'ullman drawing room while In Kansas City, and go through! to tho Sheriff's homo town, where he! would put her on tho train for Moline. As a precaution the Sheriff added 'Mrs.' In front of the name on a bench warrant with which ho had been on a fruitless errand to Colorado, and placed Mrs. Illeakeley under arrest, techni cally at least. "When the train reached Kansas City tho frat. boy's father went out and bought a nursing bottle and hot milk and other necessaries for the baby, which had been left behind in the hurry of depnrture, while tho Sheriff stood guard at the door of the draw ing room, a massive and satisfying pro tector. "No one appeared, and the woman and baby went on without hindrance. She stopped one night at the Sheriff's home, eared for by his wife, and on Saturday wns In Mollne. under tho pro tection of that court's decree. "Tho whole thing waa ludicrously simple, and yet was woven of some cu rious coincidences, each helping to carry through the escape and each play ing its unpremeditated but important part In the final success."

RODE 10 THEIR DEATH. HEROIC CHARGE OF TWO CUEY ESSE ISDIASSAGAISST FIVE TROOl'S OF CAVALRY. A Tragic Romance of the Tepes Repciltionof the Dayeof Chivalry rieah and Blood Against a Hall of leaden Bullets. at w. n, woortsa. About fifty miles north, of the Dig Horn Mountains, and forty miles south from the Yellowstone River, In south eastern Montana, live the tribe of fear less Northern Cheyenne Indians. A faw decades ago they ranged the great plains, following the buffalo, but are now attached to the Tongue Klver Agency. The men are tall, well-built, brave; and their women are proverbially chaste. With the disappearance of the game and the decadence of lnter-trlbal warring, the young braves have had little or no opportunity to show their prowess. In the summer of 1830, two young menHead Chief and Young Mule who bad failed to find favor with the maidens ef their choice, took to the war path to win distinction and wlvea A moon! and the disappointed lovers, wearing their eagle feathers red tipped, as warriors do, were again at home. Humors of their return soon reached their Agent, who recalled that a wblte herder living near the reservation had been missing from his home for nearly a month. The Murder of a Sheep Herder. Tie returned braves were questloo 4. They openly admitted going on the war-path and killing the herder. A detachment of the two troops of caval ry stationed at the Agency, assisted by some Northern Cheyennes, made search for the body. It was found on the evening of September 9, and had been scalped. Fearing trouble, three additional troops were hurriedly sent from Fort Keogh, Montana, and the Agent called a council of the chiefs and head-men, demanding that they arrest and de liver the murderers. Two Moons, the war chief, battle- scarred and old, pleaded for the young braves, offering a ransom of thirty ponies for the dead herder. This was declined. Chief Amelcan Horse then arose and said his warriors would fight If the soldiers attempted to take the young braves alive; and that their final message was: "Select the place of meeting, and we will come and die In your sight, fight ing the soldiers." The council was dismissed, and the Indians returned In the evening to their lodges in the hills south ot. the Agency. Twilight fell. Soon a flaming arrow blazed like a rocket in the southern sky. And far to the north, signal fires were seen. Catherine of the Warriors. All night armed warriors, hideously painted, hurried to the circle of hills i commanding the Agency, while lights burned late In the valley below, where tbe agency officers were consulting. In the crimson dawn, watching war-i riors saw a mounted Indian police leave the Agency and take his way southward along the misty mountain trail. It was the decision for peace or for war. As the first rays of the sun gilded the Indians' tepees, he drew rein and dismounted at the lodge of American Horse, The challenge of the two braves to fight the soldiers had been accepted to fight at the Agency at set of sun. Directly runners were off to inter cept the fleeing squaws and children. The warriors clamored for a fight witii the troops but the chief refused. The council, ho said, had spoken, with straight, not crooked, tongues. Slowly the chill September morning warmed to amythest afternoon. An eagle wheeled high above the hills, which formed an ampi theatre. In the center, or arena, were the Agency buildings and the troops. As the shadows crept out In the valley, the spectators warriors old and young, and squaws with papooses and children began taking their places on the circle of hills. They would see the fight rWlth Hearts of Iron. Forth from their refuge In the Welf Mountains, rode Head Chief and Toung Mule, painted and armed for war. Un guarded they rode. Still was there time to escape, but the pride of their race, held them. They went on. Five miles to the north lay the peace, ful valley, and the arena with its massed five hundred guns. The trail wound in and out among the hills. Leaves were falling, and here and there were bright red splotches of foli age. Overhead they noticed a flock of birds winging southward. They thought of the maidens they loved; of the war-path; of the feathers tipped with blood, and their faces darkened. Silently they held their way north ward. Soon was reached tho crest of a high spur. They turned their ponies to the west and drew rein. The sun was almost down. For an Instant they gazed; then pointed to the earth, and raised their arms In supplication to the Great Spirit wheeling, they head ed east at a gallop. Presently they pass some warriors who promptly signal their approach to the waiting Indian spectators. Now they gallop to the very crest of a high hill, perhaps five hundred yards west of the Agency buildings. There they stop In full view of the soldiers. A bugle sounds. The troopers mount and move to a dry creek-bed about fifty yards from the Agency. They take position in tbe form of a crescent, and sit with loaded carbines u&slung, waiting. At the top of the long steep hill In their front, silhouetted against the flaming sky, sit the two slender braves on their ponies. Cooly they lash them selveg to their saddles. Raising their rlrV high above their heads, they shake them at the troops and begin a shrill song of defiance. Suddenly they fire at the Agency. Their signal! Into the Jaws of Death. A bugle blows. In an Instant they launch their ponies, straight as arrow from the bow, at tbe center of the cres cent of soldiers. Down the hill they eime, full charge, shouting the savage Cheyenne war-cry and firing as they ride. A bugle blast! and a withering volley blazes forth from five hundred guns. Still the ringing war yell. Ou through the smoke they come, apparently un scathed, working their rifles like inad, ) It u,r i They seem to spring to meet the sec ond awful crash and glare of the guns. X.A. . a . ... . .ui yei aowni impossiDie: Ko flesh and blood could withstand such a fixe! Into and through the columns of shrinking horses and men ia blue they burst like devils Incarnate. Some of the horses reel and go down with the troopers. But instantly the cavalrymen whirl and give the 6waylng flying braves another deadly volley at close range. Head Chief reels frightfully In bis saddle. His pony goes down with a sickening thud, riddled by a dozen balls, not twenty feet from the cres cent line. Young Mule convulsively throws his arms In the air and lurches backwards. Again the merciless volley, and he collapses. Hl3 pony plunges! headlong. Dead! Stone-dead they lie, still lashed to the bodies of their twitching ponies. Again the bugle calls. The fight Is ever. Squaws begin their walling. Their young braves have died fighting. Thy are heroes.

Representative Steenerson Has Bill to Provide a Government Fund to Reclaim Hundred Million Acres of Wet Lands, The great swamp areas are destin ed to come in soon for their share at the hands of the government The Irrigation of desert lands has been provided for; but no deflnlte move has been made as yet to convert the enor mous areas of government swamp lund Into productive farm homes.

Till EVERGLADU CYPRESS SENTINELS OP LAKE DBUM MONO. DISMAL SWAMP. A very comprehensive bill has been Introduced In the House of Representa tives by Congressman Steenerson of Minnesota, who, If he can push his measure to enactment into a law, will be deserving of the praise of not only this but future generations. His bill is a practical extension of the old homestead idea, or rather, perhaps, an application, to the vast areas of our swamp lands, of the Idea embodied In the national irrigation law. There are in the neighborhood of 100 million acres of swamp lands in the United States, some 70 million of which have been surveyed, the great bulk of which would make splendid farms, If the excess of water were drained off. The Steenerson bill provides for the beginning of the work of reclamation of these huge areas. The measure is framed after the Irrigation law; It pro vides that the receipts from the sales of public lands in the non-irrigation states shall constitute a "drainage fund" to be expended by the Govern ment In great drainage works, and further, that the cost of such drainage, ASH PEaBZES FES for Sending us Subscriptions: but THIS S200 oo " mmm r v n wii ill m fm HuaULUTELV sending us the noatest correct solutions. : : Wa could o on aud point to niiiRimta of caiuta of nloola who hara gained large sum of money from our eontaatiL but oulj r.ro a few name.

Would Create Thousands f Homes This plan of developing the internal resources of the country and making homes of waste places, is splendid In Its scope, and appears to be entirely practicable and profitable. Take for instanoe, tbe single example of the swamp lands of tbe Kankakee River basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here are some 400 thousand acres of the very richest of bottom lands, but sub ject to overflow. They are worthless except where they have been reclaims through expensive private drainage works, when they have become worth 8100. and 8150. an acre. Yet it Is es timated by the government surveyors and engineers that the entire system could be effectively drained at a cost In the neighborhood of 810. an acre. The same can be said of the lands of the Red River Valley In Minnesota. These Include the finest grain and farm lands in the northwest except that they are frequently overflowed. It would be worth millions of dollars to the farmers and settlers, who would occupy these lands In small tracts, to have a perfect system of drainage pro vided. These extensive systems, how ever, especially where they are inter state, seem to be feasible for handling only by the general government The Steenerson bill places the en tire management of the work in the Reclamation Service and the plan of operation follows very closely the Ir rigation work now being done by that branch of the Interior Department Government lands, ceded Indian lands and private lands may be included in any drainage project but In each case the cost of the drainage improvement Is to be borne by the owner of the land and no settler can have drainage provided for more than 160 acres, thus insuring the division of the tracts Into small farms which must be actually, settled upon and tilled. Drainage Work Already In Progress This work the Reclamation Service Is qualified to do at this very moment. While primarily an engineering bureau It has, in all Its great Irrigation pro jects, to deal directly with the farmer. It must outline a comprehensive drain ago system lor eacli Irrigation project.
