The essentials of success are a we'll

A well organized and healthy brain is

Emerson said America is only another
name for opportunity. Opportunity
comes but once and If IL is then not

Abraham Lincoln is a shining illus

the case of Lincoln. who studied his
law books by the light of a log fire.

of repeated failures, at last won the

secret of success is the doing what you
can do well. and doing well what you

"The Pueblos.' a. historic review of
an interesting nation by Miss Jane +.
Evans was a mastery effort. For lack
Of space only a portion of the essay
can here be given. The speaker said:
In New Mexico live the most pc
culiar people perhaps in America-the
Pueblo Indians, so named from the
Pueblos or adobe villages in which they
live. Mystery surrounds the advent OF
this race. since no one knows when
they anne. but 1t is quite certain that
they nhabited this region many years
before the new world was even, thought
OF by people across the sea. These
people, although Indians, differ very
much from those of the North and
East. Instead of wandering about
from place TO place. they build villages,
till their farms and enjoy life as much
as we do. We have taught them moth
ing. but. on the contrary. the people of
the West have learned from them that
which Is so essential to farmers,
namely. irrigation, without which vast
tracts of land would be barren and
useless.
THE Pueblos are citizens OF the
United States, but they do not consider
themselves as such. Instead, they
have a government which is quite as
democratic as ours. and the laws,
although simple. are admirable and
thoroughly enforced.
They are a very industrious race.
who feed and clothe themselves and
ask 10 favors of the powers at Wash
ington. In fact, many of them have
not only life's necessaries, but also
many of its luxuries. Unlike other
North American Indians. the man does
not make a pack-horse of his wife, but,
on the contrary. he treats her with the
utmost respect. They are kind and
gentle TO their children. who in return
are always obedient and dutiful. .
Perhaps the most peculiar thing about
the Pueblos Is the manner In which
they build their house They are all
situated N high rocks or cliffs. and
are built in long rows n terraced. &C
that they resemble gigantic steps. They
are built in this wa so as to be a
safeguard against invasion. There are
no doors or windows in the first story
since II is used only as a refuge In
time of danger. The second story is
reached by means of a ladder from the
outside, N a trapdoor In the hool
gives admittance TO the first story. Al
the houses are so large. many families
live In one house, but their homes are
all separated by thick partitions. In
