It was little burro that Peter used to drive:
There were six little children, but now there's
only five
For Peter teased the burro while playing on a
hummock,
And the horrid crtter kicked him In the pit OF

This is the grave OF Orsemus Tate,
Who died on good terms with the church and
the state.
They attribute his death to something he ate,
From which he demised at subsequent date.
or his virtues his friends delighted to pirate,
But his vices his enemies chose TO debate.
When Orsemus arrives at the beautiful gate
He will find his name, with the elect, on tht
slate,
He died at the age OF seventy eight.
Beneath this green grass
Sleeps Annabel Glider.
She was a fair lass,
But kerosene killed her.
The kindling she soaked
And the OIL she ignited.
IL was the last fire
Annabel ever lighted.
He was a tailor by trade,
And his habits were loose,
And at forty-two summers
lie gave up the goose.
Here lies Jacob Smuggins,
Some thought him knave;
He lied when alive,
Now he lies in his grave.

escaped from the lips of the fiagellants
as they walked along in their slow

were made. during which the blows
fell even more rapidly, till 1t
seemed an eternity before the
cross at the other end of the field was
reached. We estimated that at least
500 of these self-inflicted blows were
administered in this journey, and not
in single instance could we discover
any falling off in their severity. Ar

that In all probability we would be
able to see the Penitents ut their best
on the following day by driving to
the Ranches de Taos, four miles away
Accordingly, the next afternoon we
started out accompanied by the doc
tor, civil engineer, graduate of
Lehigh University, and mining man
from Montana.
The road to Ranches de Taos led
along the foothills of the Sarge de
Cristo range, until, climbing steep
hill from little settlement of most
ancientlooking adobes, we came to
the top of the mesa. Here a most un-
expected view met our eyes. About
four hundred Mexicans, men, women,
and children, were drawn in q
straight line, extending from q small
field to a large cross stand
ing about a quarter of mile away.
scowls and angry glances were di-
rected ut us from all quarters as we
drove along seeking point of van
.age, and calls to turn back were sent
after us as we drove beyond the line
which they had formed. We could
not approach the line of march closer
Than i25 feet, and here we halted our
iorses to await developments Not

took place among the natives.
Within few minutes a small band

ldobe hut, headed by one carrying a
;rucifix upright before him Directly
behind him came another, playing q
weird and solemn tune on q piccolo;
md following them were six others

shanters came two men clad only in
white cotton drawers, with black bags
placed over their heads, and bound
about the forehead with red bandan-

on their quivering and bleeding
backs, they repassed us al
the same slow and painful walk. We
were then very close, but 1t was i'm.

two men stripped and masked like the
Others, but bearing on their shoulders
high crosses about fifteen feet In
length, made of rough timbers twelve
inches in diameter, weighing, should
judge, between 300 and 400 pounds.
AS this procession started, at the
same pace adopted by the first, two
men armed with whips took their places
behind the cross bearers and at every
step applied vicious blows upon the
naked backstof the men in front Fol-

fagellants, and behind them about
dozen rough, uncouth, unshaven PEN

It was therefore with strong doubts
as to the ultimate success Of our expe-
dition that our little party Of four,
two ladies and two men, left Denver
on Tuesday morning of holy week for
the LAND of POGO Tempo" Wednes-
day noon found us at the forlorn sta
ton of Tries Piedras, with the wind
blowing hard and bitterly cold. How
ever, full of confidence in the efficacy
of our multitudinous listers, mackin-
toshes, sealskins and steamer rugs we
climbed into the open wagon which
there awaited us for our thirty-five-
mile drive across the open prairie to
the little town of Taos. Six hours
were consumed in this drive, and

precious contents into the local water
