powerful Indian jumped from behind a
grove of trees and grabbed st. Vrain's
rifle, and a tussle began. St. Vrain called
out to Chaves to lookout in front for the
other Indians, saying he could handle the
one he had on hand. As soon as Chaves
discharged his rifle he looked to one SIDE
and saw to his dismay that st. Nraln mad
become exhausted and that the lndian
was getting the best of him. He ran
toward him and struck the Indian blow
over the head with his twenty pound rifle,
killing him instantly. This happened at
the very moment that the Indian was 60
ing to plunge dagger through st. Vraln's
heart.
Afterward, and just before the break
ing out of the war of the rebellion, st.
Vrain visited his old friend, Chaves, and
invited him to move to his grant (St.
Vrain's) on the Auimas river add he would
make him present of half of the grant,
which contained several million acres.
At this time Chaves was engaged in the
sheep business in partnership with his
brother-in-law, Don Lorenzo Labadie;
they had $4,000 head of sheep, large
number of horses and cattle. He would

lust then the war broke out and Chaves
having received commission from Pres
ident Lincoln as lieutenant colonel OF
volunteers, considered it his duty as a
patriotic citizen to abandon everything
and take the field again in defense OF the
government. He not only enlisted him

The Taos Penitenties.

The Taos PenftentieS.
The Denver Republican prints this
special dispatch from Antonito:
"George A. Baldwin, travelling agent of
the New MEXICAN, is in town and informs
your correspondent that he was at Taos
at the time of the alleged outrages COM
mitted by the penitentes upon the per-
son of Charles H. Grif1iths, and that there
is but little truth in the Tres Piedras re-
port sent to Denver newspaper.
The truth is that Mr.. Grif1iths received
but one blow from Mexican's fist,
which cut small cash in his cheek. No
other punishment was inflicted. Your
correspondent personally knows that Mr..
Gritfiths is accustomed to long tramps
and has frequently walked from Taos to
Tres Piedras in preference to riding. He
is known to do most of his travelling on
foot, and thinks nothing of several
days tramp in the mountains"

A PRACTICAL TEST.
A Colony of Patients to be Gathered
at Ojo Caliente-The Pend
ing Sale.

DR.. A. L. Fugard, one of the leading
physicians of Pueblo, arrived from Ojo
Caliente last night. He has just de-
liyered there two unfortunates who are to
constitute part of a colony of persons
afflicted with chronic diseases gathered
for the purpose of making an exhaustive
test of the virtues of these hot springs,
preparatory to their sale to New York
syndicate.
As heretofore announced in these
columns, Delegate Joseph is about part
ing company with this property.
Through negotiations with Mr.. Henry
B. Clifford, of New York, the Volcanic
Cure Syndicate has secured from TIN.
owner an option on the Ojo Caliente
springs and it is likely that sale of this
valuable property will soon be effected.
One more step toward closing the deal is
now being taken in thus gathering there
large number of patients in order to
show the effects of the waters on various
diseases. The expenses OF the patients
are paid by the syndicate, and careful
record of each case is to be taken and
presented under oath to the members OF
the company that propose buying. The
patients brought down from Pueblo by
DR.. Fugard were two of the most desper-
ate he could find after searching the city
over; one is young man suffering from
inherited s,rofula and the other is a man
who has Inflammation of the spinal cord
being scarcely able to stand alone.
Should the syndicate be satisfied with
the tests now in hand the property vii
be purchased and very extensive inn
provements made, including the construc
ton of branch from the d. & r. &
road to the springs.

a Mucb-Needed Lesson.

The anniversary of Washingtons
birthday recalls to mind fact with re,
gard TO his death which is not often
mentioned, and which contains les
son that is much needed by great
many people. On October IL, 1899, the
father of his country went out on horse
back to ride round his farms-as was
his custom. 1t began to snow, then to
hail, and then to rain. Washington
continued his ride for two hours, and
on his return home sat down to dinner
without changing his clothes. The re-
suit was an attack of chills, followed by
acute laryngitis, of which he died. Many
a wise man does very foolish things,
and Washington was only one of null
titude of otherwise sensible men who
have sacrificed their lives by carelessly
ignoring the plainest laws of health.
His death should be warning to all
thatit is not only unwise, but positive
ly wrong, to take unnecessary risks in
such matters. IN. Y. Witness

WashlngtOn's Coach.

In Philadelphia, in accordance with
the spirit of the times and with what
Washington believed to DO the pro-
prieties of his station, he lived in state
ly style. Not the least striking indica-
ton of the Importance of the president
and of the government was the splen-
did coach In which Washington rode to
church and when travelling or on out
ings for health. Made in Europe and
especially imported for the presiden-
tial use, it was of white decorated with
medallions. When travelling, this white
coach with four bay horses, two uni
formed outriders and the same number
of footmen and positions, with it's
fierce-mustachioed coachman in white
and red livery, with cooked hat and
well-incased queue, "the presidents
chariot" was sight to overawe the
rural spectators In our day such splen-
dor of official dignity would not be rel
ished We are more democratic than
our fathers.-William E. Griffis, in s. S.

raised by this means are more often

Instead of the old-fashioned way we
have been making buclSwheat cakes

the result wonderfully satisfactory.
They are uniformly light and sweet,
more palatable and wholesome, and
can be eaten continuously without the
slightest digestive inconvenience. Be-

Following is the receipt used:

wheat -four, two tablespoons of Royal
Baking Powder and one-half teaspoon.

A Teamster Who Claimed to Have rs uooo
n Right TO the Road ms tho President.
Despite his great personal dignity,
reserved manners, and his aristocratic
bearing, Washington had warm heart
for the humblest and, especially after
his revolutionary experiences, SYM
patty with common folks. Besides the
many anecdotes in print and well
known, the following, we think, illus
trates striiingly this trait. 1t was first
told by Alfred Ely, d. D., who was, we
believe, an eye and ear witness OF the
incident. DR.. Ely was afterwards for
sixty years pastor of the church in Mon
son. Mass, and from his daughter l
have heard it. We quote from 1.-THE
written word:"
"ln the autumn of 1850, during Wash
ington's first presidential term, he
made journey to Boston, following
up the west side of the Connecticut
river, and crossing it at Springfield.
He travelled in his English coach drawn
by four horses, with footmen, postil-
lions and outriders.
"As they approached the river in the
town of West Springfield, one of the
outriders galloped ahead and held a
parley with the driver of loaded hay
wagon, to induce him to turn out and
allow Washington's chariot to pass.
He refused to yield an inch Of the road,
and the state chariot patiently fol-
lowed the wagon for some distance,
until, at a safe point, it passed by to
the bank of the river.
while waiting for the ferry boat,
Washington stepped out of his coach,
when one of the outriders approached,
and, saluting him deferentially, said,
with an air of injured dignity:
"'Your excellency, as l was riding
along, little way back, we overlook
man with loaded cart, which occu-
pied the entire road. ! asked him to
stop his team and let US pass; but he
refused. / then told him President
Washington was in the coach. He re-
fused again, saying that he had as
good a right to the road as President
Washington
"Washington's laconic reply was:
And so he had.
THE outrider, astonished at this re-
ply, retired in silence"
Comment is needless The essence
of the declaration OF independence and
Of the constitution of the United
States Is in that reply William E.

Lucy came downstairs, flushed but
smiling, and nervously anxious to for

Dancing would not begin until after

games had been prepared for the in

serious tone. "Three judges will be

With solemn visages the trio COM
prising the jury took places on a raised
dais intended for the musicians later
in the night They were decorated
with huge paper crowns and made a
grotesque appearance. Tl
Rapidly the guests were called out
and questioned. The absurd queries
put to them, the references to jokes
which had attached to their history,
embarrassing confessions us to their
personal likes and dislikes came fast
and kept the audience in constant
laughter
The quick wit of the leader and his
knowledge of his subjects made the
/ exercise one of lively amusement to
all, and time after time did he announce
that no worthy successor had been
found for the venerated emblem OF
truth so closely identified with the ma
TONS history.
Suddenly there was sound of heavy
feet without and ring at the door that
told of sterner caller than some be-
lated guest A halt came to the merri-
ment and all stood in silence while Col.
Dean in person answered the summons.
In response to his greeting an officer
with sword at his side stepped into the
hall. He was in blue and had stern
face.
Again the color fled from Lucy's
checks, and she sank back into tho cor
ner of sofa where the shadows made
the expression of her features of little
consequence.
All could hear occasional words in
the low conversation in the hall. Anna

SO.

different tenor.
