Hary for the adjustment ~ claims

says
These methods OF the companies pros
woke Just resentment. and naturally
suggest resort 10 drastic legislative
measures for their suppression. II Is
not surprising that under such condl-
lions the corrective proposed IN more
obnoxious than the practice II seeks to
destroy" Continuing. he states that
the bill disefininates between cases OF
total and partial destruction OF prop
erty, and compela the payment OF the
face value OF policies. no matter wheth-
or or not the value of the Insured
property has deterlorated or whether or
not furniture haa been removed there

ORGIES OF NEW MEXICO HERB EATERS.

Hidden away in the extreme south
western corner of New Mexico, COM
pletely isolated from the world at large,
dwell the few surviving members of a
band once rich and powerful. The
"Q%uorbos," or Herb Eeaters." as they
are called, now number scarcely a
hundred men and women, with a dozen
children. They have been driven,
little by little, farther into the fast
nesses Of the mountains by the en-
croaching civilization. They have
reached their last stand in the valley
of the Saux river, between the Sierra
de San Luis on the east and the Pelon-
clio mountains on the west and south.
The nearest towns are La Locha and
Hechita, each a hundred miles distant.
Tradition says that the Quorbos are
the remnants of a large band of Mex
leans, exiled years ago because of a

the ground around the spring. Fagots
are brought and piled high in the open
space to the south. A live fox, gen
orally a cub caught for the occasion,
is brought forward to the chief, who,
with one quick stroke, plunges a keen
edged knife into it's heart. The eager
tribesmen crowd around, each dipping
his finger in the blood, and making
with it a circle around his heart. The
body of the fox is then cast upon the
fire.
The men Of the tribe seat themselves
in a circle, the chiefs in the center.
The women bring huge bowls filled
with a steaming infusion of the sacred
herbs. The bowls are passed from one
to another, each drinking literally of
the decoction. The brew is nauseous-
ly sweet, similar in some respects to
preparations of chloroform, but in it's

and bending and tVyisting in their furi'
GUS efforts to keep time. AS they near
the point of utter exhaustion the chief
gives a signal. The dancers at once
assume their old places in the line,
from which others step out, and the
figure begins afresh. These are in turn
followed by others until all have per-
formed in the great herb dance. In
conclusion all join hands and go three
times around the fire, then seven times
around the spring from east to west.
By this time the supper is ready
and little time is lost in ceremony by
the hungry tribesmen. The meal is
served by the women, who, after SUD-
plying the wants Of the male members
of the tribe, take all that is left and
form a circle of their own. The men
eat ravenously and drink copiously.
When they have finished a pile of
bones bears startling testimony to
their ability as trenchermen.

Those in the outer circle mark the
