VIM c. Goddard J. B. Seaton,
Jim Hall, r. w, Redwine, of this
county, attended the reunion of the
end and third Tenn. Cavalary al
Sevierville. Mr.. Goddard came to
give us an account of it and said if he
could talk a day or two he couldn't
begin to tell all of the pleasant and
enjoyable things that happened. All
of the reunions ever attended before
put together would not begin to COM
pare with it. The good people of our
sister county, Sewer, made an extra
effort to have the "boys" have a
good time and to hear the talk as to
how they succeeded made us rgre'
very much that did not get to be there.
According to the account given the
people of the grand old county Of
Sewer have hearts as big as all on,
doors and souls still bigger. They
are thoroughly loyal and are not
ashamed of it and better still the
visitors were impressed with the fact
that they were religious and, all honor
to them, were not ashamed of the
grand truth. Just to hear one talk who
had been there made us feel the
warmth of their generous heartedness
and if we had been present we know
we never could have forgotten the
occasion. There is no higher graft.
tude than gratitude to the soldier boys,
the saviors Of our country, save The
gratitude to an all wise God, the
Savior of our souls.

Serinagur Cashmere.

Rickety wooden houses, many stories
high, seemed to lean all round us i'll
every possible direction, each unlike
its neighbor in color and height, though
nearly all with beautifully carved shut
tiers, hanging in picturesque angles
from windows, innocent Of all other
protection. In the warm sunlight, the
brown and white tones ripened into
rich shades of yellow and red, and here
and there a pale pink house, with en-
erald green window frames, threw in
a strong dash of color, and over its
neighbours dark carved shutters would
hang strings of red tomatoes drying
in the hot sun.
Most of the houses seemed full of
people who looked out listlessly from
behind their many colored draperies as
we passed. Others, more curious,
crowded together on overhanging ver-
andas, which had absolutely mo visi-
BILE means Of support" but whose inse-
curity seemed in no way to affect the
laughing, chattering group of people
upon them. Every here and there the
irregular line Of houses was broken by
narrow street, winding away into al
most black darkness, SO sharp was the
contrast between it and its sunny sur
roundings.

Haunted.

haunted house in these practical and
unromantic days is something of rarity,
but an individual haunted with the idea
that his ailment is incurable is a person
age frequently met with. Disbelief in
the ability of medicine to cure is only a
mild form of monomania, although in
some cases repeated failures to obtain re-
lief from many different sources would
almost seem to justify the doubt. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has demonstrated
its ability to overcome dyspepsia, consti-
patton, liver and kidney trouble, malaria
complaints and nervousness, and its re-
corded achievements in the curative line
ought at least to warrant its trial by any
one troubled with either of the above all
ments. even although his previous efforts
to obtain remedial aid have been fruit.
less Used with persistence the Bitters
will conquer the most obstinate cases.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and inhammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 8 in 1000.
This il the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent Of consumptives is daily aug
mented by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is 25 out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is IA, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
emperature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only rs
shown by the thermometer. The dry

NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
Besides this Santa Fs lies in a most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
Of q splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. 1t is also the gateway OF the
Pecos National park, where fish and game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places of pic
turesque and OF historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. The present structure
dates from about l7l6; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
The memory OF shsilling events. In this
building Gen. Low Wallace wrote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
ESQ and still stands. By its side is ths
Oldest house IN the United States. THE
.al.s Of the old cathedral date from 1929,
out the rest of the structure h of more
modern date. Within con senient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos of Tesuqus
and Nambe; in q side canon Of the Santa
Re are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
course is Monument rock. The road
thither is one Of surprising loneliness.
To the south of town is.Agua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in the world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
lings.
Other points Of interest to the tourists
are: The Historical society's rooms; the
"Garita," the military quarters, chapel

Santa Fe, the city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
anclentlndian Pueblo called O-ga -p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the Oldest civilized com
lnunity in the United States and The m ost
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree as to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe was first visited by'American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, Mo, gave it a
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANlTARrUu.
Prof Mark Harrington, chief of the U.
3. weather bureau, says: "Santa Fe is in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly $4,000 feet high. To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7,0l5 feet, and latitude, about the seth
degree north, that gives it peculiar ad-
vantage as a sanitarium. The elevation
tempers the summer heats, which natural
~ should be about that of Mem phis,
Tenn, or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
ern situation reduces the rigors of winter,
AS an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
not exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused of
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great
physician expressed it. The rare, ozon-
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs.
Symington and Harroun, who have prac-
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
'asss among the native people of con-
sumption.
NORMAL TEMPERATURE.
The U. s. weather observation Office
has been stationed here for twenty years,
and the following statistical data tells
better than words how even and mild is
The climate of Santa Fe. Taking the
summer heat and the winter cold the fol-
lowing tables show most equable and
delightful temperature:

TO THE PROFESSOR.

Your path and mine lie wide apart;
For you, the things of head and heart,
The level of that loftier plane,
Where soul draws near its source again;
For me, the sordid street and mart.
Your choice has found "that better part"
And, Martha-like, feel the smart,
And oft contrast, with secret pain,
Your path and mine!
But yet two vessels may depart
On different tacks, yet by one chart
Direct their course across the main,
To some far port, and SO these twain
May finish closer than they start,
Your path and mine!

It was obvious that she made her own

she entered his study that he was in the
