Five models of as many famous
pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico

dwellings of the sedentary tribes
which of all the Indians reached the
highest mark of civilization are shown
as they stand to-day. These sedentary
tribes, SO called in distinction from the
nomadic tribes, lived in that part of

Unity to the domains of the great
Aztecs. The range of the civilization
of the ancient inhabitants of Mexico

One of the most remarkable of the
pueblos is that of Bonito in the canyon
of Chaco in New Mexico. This home of
the Indian was built in the shape of a
half circle and faced out on a yawning
chasm. The high walls of the houses
facing to the rear served the double
purpose of fertilization against
enemies and a protection against the

aoNDolA AGAINST CANOE.


The indians Were No Match for the Gay
Gondoiisfs.
The peaceful routine of worlds fair
life was interrupted ono morning lately
by an incident which sent ripple of
excitement over the grounds. On the
shore If the south pond, which connects
on the north with the lagoon, there is
encamped a colony of the Haidah, or
Quakuhl Indians from Queen Charlotte's
and Vancouver Islands They have
their massive cabin, dance house, tall
totem poles and canoes conspicuously
located along the shore. Some of the
canoes, which are very large, and are
fashioned frotn trunks Of huge trees
indigenous In those islands, bear resem-
blance in form to the Venetian Condo
las. The resemblance, however, is
confined to contour, for while the gon-
dolas are gorgeous with paint and
plush upholstery, the Quakuhl canoes
are rude. weather-beaten craft.
On the morning above mentioned,
Hawmissati. chief of the Quakahls, had
gone out In his canoe, for constitu-
tional along the lagoon. Padding
leisurely along with Hisynish, his
nephew, In the bow, the chieftain
Vowed with surprise the majestic
buildings around him and bowed rever-
entially to the golden statue of the
republic as he entered the great basin,
probably thinking 1t an idol.
Presently, at the west end of tho
basin. gondola, manipulated by two
athletic gondoliers, named Giuseppe
Martin and Enrico Saline, shot out
from beneath the bridge and glided
swiftly past the dreaming Quakuhls-
Their gay appearance reused the pa
triotic pride of the Hawmissatl.
Grasping his paddle firmly he made a
sign to his nephew, and soon the black
craft went up to the gondola. The
Venetians saw the movement and
race ensued which enlisted the atten-
ton of thousands along the basin.
For time the two were nose and
nose on an easterly course. 1t was
curious to note the different action
OF the rowers. The gondoiiers made
strong, steady strokes with their oars,
feathering them in the water, while the
Indians, on their knees, used their short
paddles nervously until the foam rip
pied in white streaks from the bow of
the canoe
The Venetians in their gorgeous cos
tunes shouted excitedly, but the In
dams, stolid as a totem pole, uttered
not word. Several electric launches
and gondolas followed in the wake of
the racers.
Down the basin and past the golden
statue went Indians and Venetians.
The gondola reached the tunnel first
and went through ahead The boats
then entered the south pond and made
for the Quakuhl village The gondola
crept steadily ahead, for the rough
hewn canoe could not be forced through
the water like the painted craft of
Venice. When the village was reached
the gondola made dozen lengths in
advance. The time from the middle of
the north end of the Agricultural build
ing to the village was seven minutes for
the gondola and seven minutes and
thirty seconds for the canoe.
When Hawmissatl landed he walked
along to the gondola sand looked at it
for some time. But he is I'M
dcrstood to declare emphatically that
he has another canoe, bearing the poet
ical name of Foam of the Sea, which
no gondola can passi

The reservation about the money
caused everyone to laugh. They knew
Farmer Ramsey to be worth 500, 900.
But he went on:
I've been here two weeks and bought
several square meals, SO l can't afford
no chairs, specially when I've got to
stay two weeks longer and buy more

Farmer Miller, of Minnesota, spoke
up:
