As was anticipated, the annual picnic

The Oldest Church.

According to Washington kilograms the
census bureau has just issued bulletin
in which the statement is made that the
Roman Catholic church established the
first Christian worship within the territory
now constituting the United States.
Whether this refers to st Augustine, Fla,
or Santa Fe n. NJ, We are not informed
st. Augustine was founded in 1866, but
had been virtually abandoned when the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in
1920. To the Pilgrims credit of founding
the first church has usually been given.
But Santa Fe was founded in 1851, and
in that ancient capital the services OF the
Catholic church have ever since been cele-

A SANTA FE EPISODE.
How Pursley Might Have Made Great
Charge in American History.

From the Magazine OF American History.
When Zebulon M. Pile was in New
Mexico, in 1907, he met at Santa Fe a
carpenter, Pursley by name, from Bards-
town, KY, who was working at his trade
there because he could not we'll get away.
He had, in 1902, while out on the plains
hunting met with series of misfortunes,
and found himself, in 1904 or 1905, with
a hunting party near the mountains.
The hostile Sioux OF the plains
drove them into the high ground in
the rear of Pixies Peak. Near the head
waters of the La Platte river Pursley
found some gold He carried little
of it in his shot pouch for months. He
was finally sent by his companions to
Santa Fe to see if they could trade with
the Spaniards, and chose to remain III
Santa Fe in preference to returning to
the hunting party. He told the Spaniards
about the gold he had found, and they
tried very hard to persuade him to 20 and
show them the place. They even offered
to take along strong force of cavalry.
But Purslev refused, and his patriotic rea-
sui was lldG liz tllouBllt Iho ldHu WAS
on United States territory. He told
Lieut. Pike that he feared they would not
allow him to leave Santa Fe, as they still
hoped to learn from him where the gold
was to be found. These facts were pub
ished by Lieut.. Pike soon after his return,
but no one took the hint, or the risk was
400 great, and thus more than half CEN
fury passed before those same rich fields
OF gold were found and opened to the
world. If Pursley had been somewhat
less patriotic, and had guided the Span
iards to the treasures, the whole history
and condition of the western part of our
continent might have been entirely diff
ferent from what it now is. That region
would doubtless have been part of Mex
leo; or Spain might have been in pos
session of it, owning California, and, with
the gold that would had been poured into
her Golfers, have been the leading nation
in European affairs to-day. We can
easily see how American and European
history in the nineteenth century might
have been changed if that adventurer
from Kentucky had not been true lover
of his native country.

all be on hand just the same. The Santa

ready to concede that Santa Fe's summer
climate is "out Of sight" as compared
with other aspirants for climatic honors.

Both Dobson and Gosse are directly in
line for the laureateship when it shall
fall vacant, though no one knows who
will get it. I am indebted to both OF
them for much personal kindness. Gosse
is good sized, handsome man, of the
blonde English type, with the cheeriest
face and voice, and wherever he goes it
grows warm and comfortable. Dobson
is somewhat older Both of them strike
me as being among the most cultured

those articles we cannot, will gain in
popularity as the benefit effects OF the
new tariff appear.

fend would you employ merchant or

Stole Busts from a Cemetery.

That too ingenious person who stole
bronze and marble busts from the ceme-
terry of Montparnasse, touched them up
and sold them as efigies of famous he
roes, statesmen or orators, has at last
met with the punishment which his
lugubrious labors deserved. Moreau,
for SO. the new kind of resurrection
man." to adopt the phrase of Dickens, is
called, came up before the eighth tri-
bunal Of police, and was soon sentenced
to three years imprisonment.
The singular thefts perpetrated by
Moreau in the cemetery long passed un-
perceived. He was accordingly able to
make some money by his dismal and de-
plorable transactions, and it is consid-
cred probable that many of his trans
formed busts now adorn not only the
humble homesteads of artisans in Paris,
but also the libraries and museums Of
some provincial towns. On one occa-
sion he is said to have sold the efigy of
a worthy professor of the Sorbonne as
that of famous general of the revolu-
ton, while on another he passed off the
bronze presentment of departed grocer
as that of Demosthenes.-Paris Cor.

are of the native blood, though many
farmers have half-blooded animals
that are now old enough to raise colts.
While the line of breeding is thus
confined principally to heavy horses,
trotting and racing are receiving some
attention. Dairymen are selecting a
better class of milch cows, and more
attention is being bestowed to the
care, feeding and keeping stock in
good, clean, well ventilated stables.
Early maturity and greater weight in
beef cattle are two requisites that are
generally observed. Large numbers
of sheep have been imported during
the past summer, and more attention
is being given to wool growing. The
pork industry is about the same as
last year. A slight increase in mum.
bers is noticeable, but the average
weight is less.

Pleasant Occupat.
Sheep husbandry was one of the first
and favored occupations of civilized
man. Shepherds still tend their fiocks
ON the hills of Bible lands as did the pa
triarchs of forty centuries ago. There
has been little change or Improvement,
however, in the appearance, wool or
meat of these old time flocks, and for
that matter the shepherds have changed
but little themselves. No animal per-
haps is SO universally distributed over
the world, furnishing food and clothing
for mankind, as the sheep. The rear
ing of sheep therefore is no new busl-
ness. For novices to engage in it for
temporary speculation, however, it is
matter of risk.
1t is the prediction of The Western
Rural that sheep will always be largely
bred in this country, whether we have
high tariff or low tariff, o1Ssho tariff at
all. The excellence of sheep as farm
stock shows itself too co onspicuously, in
several ways, for the business ever to be
abandoned.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the St. Louis
weather prophet, predicts that from the
9TH to 11th of March there will be heavy
storms; with billiards. in the more
northern sections of the country. The
storm period will wind up with gener-
al cold-extremely SO in the north.
About the 18th and 18th the tempera-
ture will rise followed by reactionary
storms, which, in turn will end in an
other blast of boreas. From the 18th
to the 21st is regular storm period.
Be prepared, says Prof. Hicks, for
much active and some violent phe-
nomena during March, as the month
will end in the midst of the storm per-
iod. "Look out for your own safety,
health and comfort, and pray, do not
forget the poor, dependent animals
that trustto your mercy and judg-
ment for their food and shelter.
