The village of Isleta is Immediately on
the limo of the railroad, but they rnrely
utilize the road, preferring to walk rather
than pay fare. They arrive in the city be-
fore tho palefaces have breakfasted and
supply the residences, restaurants, hotels
and fruit stands with fresh grapes, melons,
plums, chill peppers, apricots etc, which
they cultivate in and around their little
village.
The women do the marketing, and in nd
dition to two or three baskets of fruit n
few pieces of pottery are also brought
along. The women come in bevies, some
carrying fruits, n few vessels of earthcn-
ware. The latter they sell to the tourists
at the hotels mt prices regulated by the
verdancy of the sightscer
Dressed, or rather undressed, in their
seemingly quaint costumes. they attract
immediate attention from the open
mouthed and wonder stricken tourist,
who laughs Mt and ridculcs everything
he Is not accustomed to SEQ in his own
bailiwick. At the depot grounds, espp.
cially when the trains como in, the fruit
and pottery vendors assemble in full force,
and generally do land office business in
selling to tho tourists
Tho Indian maidens are dressed in their
brightest colors, and some of them would
be pretty If they did not daub their faces
with chunks Of red paint. They arc spe-
cial objects of mirthful interest to the
ladies' on the trains, who criticise the scant
costumes of the pueblo maidens very mar
rowly. The Indian women no doubt re-
servo their criticism of the "pale face
squaws" until after they have sold their
fruits and wares.
The Indian braves bring in bales of chilli
and PUSHES on burros, or what are called
marrow gauge mules" BUSHES are used
for light fires or for kindling. The burros
are invariable well loaded, not only in
weight, but in bulk-only the ears left
sticking out. The chill and rushes IRE
cOmpactly and securely baled, and when
loaded the head of the burro is turned to-
ward Albuquerque, he is given n kick and
he and the brave jog along to the city.
After disposing Of his load the Indian
mounts the burro and rides back to the
village. Frequently the burro has an extra
passenger. The Indian maiden who has dis
posed of her grapes accepts the hospitality
of her lover and rides behind him, weight
ing down and almost covering from view
the patient little animal. Those who are
not fortunate enough to have lovers with
burros must walk back to Isleta But to
tramp fourteen miles i'll the morning and
fourteen miles in the evening is with an
Indian only n matter of recreation.
lsleta contains about ! 200 inhabitants
They are Industrious and except OH feast
and fetc days uniformly sober people
They pursue agriculture - cultivating
mainly corn, beans, pumpkins and fruits
They have their little patches of one, two
and three acres, which are irrigated by
bitches which tap the raging" Rio
Grande. Each patch is fenced" in by an
adobe wall about three feet in height
These patches have been cultivated for
centuries, as the old crumbling walls bear
evidence. The walls are to prevent the
depredations of stock, which they also
raise, each farmer having COW and a
horse and d few sheep.

At several commanding positions in the
village an Indian is seen on the fiat roof.
and Ii sentinel is invariably seen upon the
roof of the church-the highest building
in the village. These sentinels are not
armed and looking for the advancing
enemy, us was their duty for centuries, but
are keeping n vigil over the surrounding
fields. Should trespasser enter-either n
small boy or amarauding animal-a signal
is given by signs, and the rancher is soon
in his patch hurting rocks at the invader,
and he invariably carries a pocketful for
that purpose.
In addition to agriculture, they make the
clothes they wear, which is not great
task-weaving the cloth and dressing the
skins for their shoes, leggings and panta-
looms.
They also make large quantities of earth
enware resembling stone, and in the shape
of animals, 'hand painted" with curious
designs and figures. Heaps of wild thyme
and rushes are set on fire and reduced to
ashes; water and earth are thrown upon
the hot ashes, when the consistency Is
kneaded and formed into any desirable
shape. Women generally do this work,
while the men serve as the hewers Of the
wood and bring the water.
The pottery factory is located in tho ''base-

ment, "entrance to which is made by means
OF ladder through trap door in the roof
This was the custom centuries ngo. AS a
means of protection from surprise by the
enemy there were no doors to the houses
and when a person called on his neighbor,
after looking through hole or tho blinds
to see who 1t was, II ladder was let down,
which the caller would climb, when the
ladder was drawn up after him.
The plan of construction Of these houses
has never been changed The houses are
built in common, and i'll compartments, as
French flats. but instead of pushing the
button the caller stands outside and gives
warwhoops until he arouses the host. Only
those houses or compartments fronting OIL
u street have windows, and these are very
small and grated like the lookout port
holes of Mexican Jail. In the construc-
ton of these houses no lime is used. The
adobes arc cemented with mixture of
ashes, charcoal and earth, seemingly more
lasting than cement, enduring for centu-
ries. The families live peaceably on this
community plan, and rarely indulgng in
the "neighborly quarrels' usual with their
palefnced brethren. 1t is very seldom that
brave strikes his wife,
The city government Is conducted indie
pendently of any other of the pueblo viii
lagos. Each village has its own separate
governmental free republic in itself. The
Spaniards found about DOC, 900 Indians and
about 200 villages in what is now New
Mexico and Arizona. When the United
States took possession of this country-less
than half Il century ago-there were about
100000 Indians and about 100 villages.
Now there are not more than 35 1000 of these
poor Los and about twenty-five villages
Long before Columbus sailed from Palos
IN search of new world this Indian vii
laSe -Iscta-was ancient. In this valley
now called the Rio Grande-the pucblos
had their villages and enjoyed a ''semi-
barbarous civilization" in the pursuit of
agriculture. But with the discovery of
the New World, which is the DID," came the
cavalier, advcnturer and half bandit; the
soldier, the hidalgo, the mutineer and all
of that class in search of what fortune or
chance might throw in their way. Here
they found n day whose noon has not
come, and whose evening is far distant"
The history of the pueblo of Isleta is in
involved in that obscurity which surrounds
an unlettered people, but their local "his-
torians" hand down the traditions of their
race from generation to generation and
century to century. dating back from the
migrations to this country of the Toltecs
