counting the many additional round dances.

every one who was so fortunate as to at
tend the worlds fair last year. Our
thoughts often return to dwell on some de-
Hehtful incident or some never~to-be-for-
gotten exhibit that gave so much pleasure.
one of these exhibits that proved of
much interest was that of the cliff or
cave dweilers. 1t was t. give one an idea
of this ancient race which has interested
the archaeolosists SO much. y large COM
pany of explorers have been recently
searching among the uneXpl0red regions of

decayed on the American continent long
before Columbus crossed the seas.

rock. Inside the visitor was subject to
various illusions. There were caverns con-
tanning utensils and ornaments found in
the original homes of the cliff jewellers.
Having seen this exhibit made one feels
an interest in learning more of this race
and it was with pleasure we read an ar
ticle in The World giving muca historical
information on the subject.
The most interesting ruins of the cliff
jewellers are found in south Colorado on the
terraced slope of the Havenweep. They
are very difficult of access, the nearest
railroad being SEQ miles distant, so not
many tourists, but only explorers visit
them, ana from them we get our Informal
ton.
The archaeolo8ists who have visited these
homes say an immense length of time has
passed since these cities of the cliff dwell
ers have been deserted, and yet the clear,
dry air of Colorado has kept them in
this excellent state of preservation In

tween these two stronghods may be found
rows of small dwellings,, built of blocks Of
adobe, where lived the cliff jewellers who
preferred a house to themselves, and built
on the ground floor at that. Centuries
must have elapsed since people ceased to
tread these village streets, for they are
now overgrown with juniper trees Of enor-
nous size.
The remarkable preservation of the paint
ings is a source of wonder, pictorial word

derfully fresh and bright. The pottery
found in all these ruins is very thin, hand
finished and painted in colors.
The article alluded to gives the following
account of other places found which are
full of interest,":
"A large cave, situated sever II hundred
feet above the bed of the Rio de Cholly, in
northwestern Arizona, contains a house,
three stories in height, in an excellent state
of preservation. There are seventy-siX rooms
on the ground floor alone, ana in them
were found numbers of eXquisitely tinted
arrow heads and large grindstones, besides
many other implements of the stone age.
The walls of the rooms We're pl2stered with
white cement of a Stucco-li1e finish, which
was evidently spread on by hand, as the
marks of the pores of the skin could clear
~ be seen on its surface. In several cases
the entire print of the hand had been left
and in places low down on the walls near
the floor, are to be noted imprints of chubby
hands of little children.
another remarkable cave in the San
Juan country, once inhabited by cliff dwell
ers, is located in the side Of a steep cliff
200 feet above the valley, opening like a deep
round tunnel III the canyon wall. In the
interior there is an open space which no
doubt served the cliff dWellers as a work
shop. There are holes in the rocks which
once supported the posts of their looms,
and there are grooves in the floor where
the workmen made their saws or sharpened
their clumsy stone axes.
THE front part of the lower floor con-
sists of one large apartment or promenade.

Tremendous excitement filled the whole
section. Doors were barred at night anu
in the day the men stood guard at their
homes.
Work on the farms and in the shops ana
stores was bandoned. Many residents fled
to the north and left their homes to the
mercy of the bandits. 1t was at this time,
early in 1872, that General William Bailey,
a wealthy citizen of Monticello, Fla, began
the organization of a band for the sup
pre- sson of crime in that section.
He had studied the situation carefully
an6 came to the conclusion that since the
crimes in his section had not decreased,
but instead had increased to an alarming
extent He organized a band of spies
known as the regulators"
Mr.. James Fleetwood, of this place. was

year and is thoroughly familiar with the
times in which the Murrelites operated
In speaking of the regulators and the
final history Of the Muwellites, Mr. Ellen
wood says:
after the regulators We're thoroughly
organized, there was a horrible murder
near st. Marks, Fla. A well-known young
nan left Monticello, Fla, for St. Marks.
He had on his person a large sum of gold
and bills. Before reaching st. Marks, the
MurrelIites fell upon him and murdered
him. A man named YOumanS, who was q
notorious character, was suspected of the
murder.
He was c.. ptured by the regulators and
finally confessed that he knew all ABOUT
the murder.
He said John A Murrell and large band
of robbers had committed the murder. YOU

The Songs My Mother Used to Sing.
l had listened, but his sermon
Failed to reach my hard old heart.
He must be a powerful preacher
Who can make my tear-drops start.
But l tell you, I was softened,
And the tears began to fall,
When his voice was raised in singing
Songs / loved when l was small
When his old voice swelIed in singing
IT'LL it made the .od church ring
With the melodies my mother
Used to sing!
I recalled, while he was singing
Those old songs so dear to me,
Thesdear time of life's bright morning,
When / sat on mothers knee.
Soon my tears We're faster flowing
Than in ali my lift before,
For I heard poor mother singing
As she sung to me of yore.
Oh. the peace that filled my bosom!
All my cares and pains took wing
While he sang the songs my mother
Used to sing!
oh! l care not how down-hearted
or ungodly YOU become;
Care not whittier you may wander,
Wither you may make your home:
Until death has closed your eyeIids,
To your memory will cling
Those sweet melodies your mother
Used to sing!
