Model In(lians-SOme Social Gus
toms Of the PueblOS.

The laws of the Pueblo are simple but
admirable, and are thoroughly enforced.
Crime is practically unknown: sd for
occasional minor hpses the off uieF is
induced to Jail by handcutf more civil
lied than our own, since it Is about the
neck, and the culprit Can neither be tor
tured by it, nor reach nor pull back upon
his captors. The gentlcness OF officials
and laymcn Is always notable. \ resist
cr is never dubbed nor choked into az
quiescence, but is overpowered without
a scratch. A drunken vagabond once
shot n woman in Isleta and fled. A
posse with rifles pursued and soon over
took him. He intrenched himself and
was ready to shoot the first who slWtil
come nearer. Instead of sIleneing him
with bullet, as theme was perfect JUS
tice in dong. the Alguazil ordered him
dislodged with stones. \ delft throw
stunned him, and he was captured with
one unimportant brrlise. This is II typi-
cal ease.
The social corner stone j. not the fani-
ily, but the clan. Husband and wife
must belong to different gentes and the
children follow her clan. In other
words, descent is from the mother, and
not from the father. The Pueblo had
invented Woman's Rights before any Cau-
casian acquired that social insomnia,
and il remains one of hi. fundaments
He has never used his wife as Il pack
beast. He is not heEpecked, but just :;

ting the programme to be followed by
the public schools and the Grand Army
of the Republic for the observance of

General DYER saws: ''Comrades have
already been made acquainted in a gener-
al way with its coming celebration

news in the daily and weekly papers.
The design of our leading educators has
been to use the occasion in fostering a
love of country and veneration for its
symbolic flag. 1t is peculiarly appro-
pirate that our order should join or lead
in these exercises. The programme and
accompanying matter and this General
Order No. s are intended to bring the
subject prominently and personally to
each post and post commander. No
comrade can read the former without
the stir Of the old time patriotism. Up
on post commanders devolves the re-
sponsibility of uniting with the schools
or. if they are dilatOry, in awakening
the proper school officials to the point
of grasping the situation and carrying
the idea to n successful issue. Sons of
Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps
