TRUE TO HER PEOPLE The Interesting Story of a Faithful Indian Maiden. Wan Captared by ItmUle Tribe, R- curd a ad Kdncatrd by a White Maa, Hat Hemalaed a Vm at llart. (Special California Lettor. WHILE many Indian tribes aave lived together in close proxiin- iiy lor many jturnu inruvc mu harmony, it is equally true that In ninny other oases there has been a great deal of quarreling and fighting. With primitive people as well as wnn those who are more advanced in civili sation It is very true that u tiny spark i will of ten kindle a great flame. A dead- ly insult ha often been read Into a 1 few insignificant words, lue reiusui , of tho hund of a maiden In marriage has often provoked war. Hundreds, nay, thousands, of lives have been lost in disputes over tiny strips oi territory that were practically barren anu value less. Whole village have been often destroyed because of fancied intuits offered to the gods. The secret of theemnity between the tribes that for centuries inhabited the mountains of what is now Snn Diego, Cal., and the Yumas, who dwell on the Colorado river, I have never been sole to learn. Botb people were warlike, proud and brave. The former were supreme In the mountains, the lutterin the desert and by the river. Again and again conflicts took place between them. Sometimes the Yumas roamed too far over the desert to the cast of the great river, and despite all their precautions they were swooped down upon by the mountain tribes and driven back with great loss of life. At other times the San Diegane would ap proach too near the river, and they In turn would suffer defeat. In the neighborhood of 40 years ago the Yumas had 'been particularly ag gressive and had severely punished the Bun Diegans on several successive occa sions. This aroused the notional pride of the mountain tribes and they gath ered together in a great powwow where the wbt chiefs unanimoubly counseled a large raid upon the Yumas which should so humble and humiliate them as to keep them peaceful for at i" tA, if 4. AN OLD YUMA WARRIOR. least a generation or more. Again, for days, the warriors assembled around the dance fire, where the chiefs ex horted t hem to brave and heroic deeds and the women incited them to acts of valor. When the time came for the inarch they stole as cautioiusty as pos sible across the desert, and, on nearing the main camp of the Yumas, sent out their scouts ahead to determine how and when the great attack should be made. Fortunately for them the Yumns were In the worst possible condition for th encounter. Their hunters had just brought back an unusual quantity of deer, and the whole people, warriors and all, were so gorged to repletion as to be unable t fight. After full con sultation it was decided to steal upon them at night and fight at close quar ters with bnttlo hammer, battle ax, dagger ot sharp deer's horn, and the few steel weapons they had obtained from the white man. Stealthily they crept upon their un suspecting foes. The latter had not only eaten to excess, but many of them were stupefied With a drink they made from the root of a bush called mo mump. The root of this Is sometimes taken and chewed. For a few hours it produces an exhilarating effect, some what similar to that produced by Vnshect-h. Then the victim succumbs to a deadly stupor from which it takes bim scverali days to recover. It can well be imagined what a con dition the Yumas were in to receive their foes.- The San Diegans fell upon them and slew quit a number without any resistance. Then, flushed with victory, after scalping their dead foes, they took captive several of the wom en, whose lives had been spared, and one little girl. What became of the women I have never yet been able to learn. Possibly, as has often been the case, they became w ives of their cap tors and soon lost their Identity as members of a different tribe, but with the little girl it was different. She had a keen memory and a loving heart and constantly cried for her father and mother, whom he hod seen slaugh tered on the banks of the Colorado river. Even In those days there was something of a tow n at Son Diego. The Indians, too, were reasonably frlendjy with the whites. Indeed, they were so much so that severul of them used to go up Into the mountulus and camp neur the Indians in tents at what is sow known as Agua Caliente at War ner's ranch. The hot springs from which this village gained Its Spanish name are know n to lie very good for all kinds of diseasec, und ever since they have kvowu of tbeui white men have oot been slow to avail themselves or their healing virtues. One of the white mn from San Diego, who had gone to the hot springs, somehow came to learn of the presence of this cspt ive little girl. He saw her several times and soon became very much interested In her. When he learned her story he determined that, If possible, he would remove her from the influences that were so pain ful to her. With an interpreter he went to the man who owned her and threatened him with the punishment of the white man's law for the murder of the child's father and motherunlees she were Immediately and irrevocably given up to him. After some demur the Indian acceded to his request. With his new acquisition the man from ! San Diego hastened home.

The counlc nrreed to adopt her as their ow n. It was not long before the little one responded fully to the love that wa o generously given her, and she came to regard herself as the daughter of the white man and' woman. Years passed by. The little girl grew up to womanhood. She had been educuted as became the daughter of a well-to-do citizen and was respected, honored and loved.by all who knew her. Several children were born to the couple, and as these grew up they were tauirht to -reeard the Indinn girl as their own sister. There is no doubt that had the In dian girl desired to remain she might have married some white man and be nu no pected, .dopted living to-day, honored and res in or near the home of her a parents. But, yielding to that mysterl ous impulse that renders us Incapable of denying our parentage, she felt an uncontrollable instinct or desire to return to her own people and become one of them. In vain her foster broth ers and' sisters pleaded with her. Sor rowf ully, but nevertheless with deter mination, she decided to cross the des ert and go back to the place of her birth. When she arrived among the ; Yumas they Teecived her with suspi ' cion." She did not know a single word of their language, but so powerful did instinct work that, with very little dif ficultv, she won her way into their hearts and soon was able to speak her native tongue as If she had never known any other. In a short -time she married, and children were born to her. Her husband, a full-blooded Yu aia, has always regarded her as a su perior being, and throughout the tribe her opinions are largely deferred to. While she lived with the whites she was known by the name of Maggie. When she went back to her people she told the whites who came in contact with her "that her name was Maggie Scott. When I asked her why she as sumed the name of Scott she replied; "While I was in San Diego I read a great ninny novels, but there were none that pleased me so much as those -fit MAGGIE SCOTT. of Sir Walter Seott. Consequently, when I had to take a name for myself I chose his, and when my first son was born I colled him Walter, after the grcut writer whose works guve me so much pleasure during the duys of my civilization." When I Hiked her if she had never longed to return to her civilized life she replied to the effect that, while oc casionally a little longing would come Into her heart, she hud no real desire to leave her own people. With them she was consented to live and' die.

Irvine, was a priest of the Protestant Epis copal Church, and in April, 1898, was in charge of bt. John s parisli of Huntingdon, Pa. "The detendant, hmma JJ.

'Plamtifi brings this appeal, as sienine many reasons, but tuere are in substance only two: "1 That defendants conspired , . r" , ; ,1 j 1 j to have plaintiff unlawfully deposed from the ministry 2 That they conspired by un lawful means to injure his reputa tion and standing as a Christian minister.

It is conceded that the members of the court were men of integrity and, could not have been corrupted. They raay have been too credulous, may have been mis taken as appellant argues.

Reform In Funerals- The Ministerial associatiou of Reading urges a reform in the conduct of funerals that is commended by sense and a proper regard for the proprieties.

The eulogy, spoken often without due regard for the character of the deceased, may be prompted by the kindliest of senti ments, but the harrowing rehearsal of the last illness which usually precedes this discourse is wholly unwarranted. It can have no other effect than to deepen the grief of the bereaved Rather, as these Keadmg clergymen suggest, should the mourners oc cheered by the higher life upon which the departed has entered.

From the state of Iowa comes the word that a bar will be placed on Cupid's work. The plan to our way of thinking is good, and alto gether worthy of following. The preachers have indorsed what they call a marriage commission made up of three men and three women physi cians. This commission is to have power to regulate all marriages in the State and to say who shall and who shall not be married. The plan was first advocated by Judge Mc Vey, ot the District Court. The ministers will dralt a bill embodying this idea and submit it to the next Legislature. They believe that such a board would restrict the divorce evil and suppress criminal, degener- ate and pauper marriages. A physician writing on the subject of that often fatal disease, pneumonia, says that the malady may be easily detected by a person not skilled as a diagnostician. There is difficulty in breathing, fever, thirst and a dull, deep-seated pain in the chest. The cheeks are flushed and there is rising and tailing of the abdomen in breath ing. By placing the ear against the chest a crackling sound, similar to that produced by throwing salt on red hot coals, may be heard. When these symptoms appear a physician should be sent for at once. While waiting his arrival, poultices may be applied to the chest, and unless the doctor is very near at hand it would be safest to administer a cathartic. Deep breathing is also helpful. Pneu monia acts very quickly, and unless a charge for the better soon takes place the disease will rapidly advance until death ensues. When taken in season, however, it is not as serious as is generally supposed. It would be well for the reader to cut this out and pre serve it for reference. An Irishman obtained permission from his employer to attend a wed ding. He turned up next day with his arm in a sling and a black eye. "Hello, what is the matter," said his employer. "Weil you see," said the wedding guest, "we were very merry yesterday, and I saw a fellow strutting about with a swallow-tailed coat and a white waistcoat. 'And who might you be,' said I.
