We all sympathize deeply with
Miss Maule, who has recently re-
ceived the very sad news of her
mothers death. Mrs. Maule
spent two winters with her
daughter in Ell Paso and We all
learned to know and love her and
will indeed feel her loss.
suppose teachers wish that
the measles and other contsgi-
GUS or infectious diseases would
all come in the summer, but
wouldn't this be bad on the chill
dren? We do want our children
at school every day. though, and
wish there was some means by
which we might have them.
The roll of honor for the
fourth grade of the Franklin

With the new year came new
children to our school. So many
came that we were in q guam
Diary to know what to do. We
finally thought of a plan to
which the superintendent readi-
ly agreed. It is this: we have
q few pupils who are careless
about their attendance and if
they do not come regularly we
shall drop them and give their

back at that time for nearly eight years,
my feelings can be imagined.
AS soon as Don Ramon returned
with the body of Il e herder, he came
out and insisted on our coming into
the house. But We told him we had
rather too large family, and besides
preferred to be near our horses. went
over to see the old don. The body of
the herder lay on table, with candles
at his head and feet. His face was
rigid in death and made a weird pic
ture. Com bined with the fact that we
had brought along pick and shovel it
made me feel little ''sulemncholy"
anticipating what might be the close
of our scout. But the soldier does not
dwell long on the sad side of war, and,
as the volunteers from Quad slupe and
San Ignacio came riding in, all was
hustle and excitement. The thought
of q brush with Apaches and the aveng-
ing of the herder's death dispelled all
gloomy forebodings.
By daylight we were off on the trail,

we held council of war. They sug-
geated that I should take my nine men

the trail into the canyon. L told them
that would never do, as the Apaches
had no doubt anticipated just such q
move and were hidden in the cliff
where they could kill US without ex-
posing themselves in the least. But
we would have an even break by going
up the side of the mountain and follow
ing right down on top of the ridge in
their rear. No sooner was this said
than done. The Mexicsns left four or
five men and L left old Dick Hedges,
an old frontiersman, and Gus Small of
San Antonio, with our horses: for the
Indians, in case our guard had been
too small, could have come out of the
canyon on horseback, killed our guard,

afoot. So | asked Captain Garcia and

AOY SCHOOL BRIEFS.

Mrs. T. M. Baca, our substi-
tute, has been quite i'll for the
past week, but we are glad to
note that she is much improved /.
G. p. Putnam, our always
welcome superintendent, spent
Tuesday morning at the school.
His visits are always enjoyed
and he always has some good
suggestions for us.
Miss Lola Mayfeld has recov.
cred from a severe cold. She
was absent three days, because
she couldn'tspeak above whisp-
err, and she said it was no use be-
ing in school if she couldn' Il
scold.
The dust and smoke are now
cleared from Mrs. Pasterson's
room and she is her genial, smil-
ing self again. Her attendance
has been perfect this month and
she will cheerfully give any in
formation concerning stoves and
smoke that any one may wish.
Aoy school opened with full
attendance on Tuesday morning
after the holidays. Quite a num-
Der of beginners were turned
away because of lack of room.
The children were all rested and
are doing good work. There is

teachers and pupils as this short

stoo at Shiloh, the loss of English off,
GERS in the Transvsal, and more
Lawton all surely point to this as
common horse-sense. It demoralizes
| the men more to see a beloved COM
mander shot down before them, than to
see him safely under cover until the
command to charge is given, when it
would be proper for him to be in front
or close behind the firing line.
The Apaches, seeing we would not
"walk into their parlor," and having
the nearest cut, got on the crest of the
mountain first. There they met the
Mexicsns, who fred the first shot and
killed an Indian. Hurrying up to their
right, we had almost reached the crest
where there was q mass OF rough bould-
ers, when big Apache arose and fir
ed. The bullet whizzed so close to
my nose thatI could almost smell it,
and it cut the rim of Sergeant Gillett's
hat, who was just behind me. The
sergeant, who was one of the quickest
and best shots with q Winchester that
1 ever saw, threw up his carbine and
fired at the Indian, who was not over
ID yards distant, and bored him
through the ribs. [ looked back TO
give the order to take cover, but that
first bullet had acted better than the
command of major general of militia.
Every man was behind a rock. 1
sprawled out behind big palma or
Spanish dagger, and would have been
glad to have had even a ladies' paste
board hat-box between me and the
ugly looking boulders. Bang. and
bullet went through my palma
just over my head. l heard the noise
Winchester makes when another
and bang! whiz! another bullet fol-
lowed, showing the Indian had me
pretty we'll located. The last shot
filled my face with the trash and bark
from the palma. AS there was a rock
close and l could crawfish down the
hill easily, L wriggled back behind the
friendly solid stone, slipping my rifle
forward and keeping my eye on the
rocks thatI saw the smoke issue from.
hoped the Apache would peep over
the top to see if 1 was dead, when 1
could easily have shot his eye out.
The Mexicans on our left were keep
ing up lively fire, and the Apaches to
our right had opened fire on our guard
and the horses. Sergeant Swilling's
horse. large white one, was shot
through the heart. We could see the
ouiIeGS KNOCKING up the dust all
around and the guard shooting back,
and when Swilling's horse was hit he
staggered around and tumbled over.
The sergeant began to mourn, having
the horror all western men have of
walking. John Thomas got the laugh
on him In time by saying: Sergeant,
you better wait and see if you are go
ing back to camp" heard the
Indians in front chattering. 1t sound
ed like the Guinea hens "pot-racks,
pot-racks, pot-racks." But Pablo
Mejia, who had been a guide for the
United States cavalry and knew some
of their lingo, said the leaders, order
was that they must "get together and
shoot fast" This was good advice.
So, as George Hoerld told me that the
Mexicans had good place to fight
from, and the Indians had quit us in

ALAMO SCHOOL
FIRST GRADE

FIRST GhS LIE
So far we have not had many
cases OF absences on account OF
measles.
Children of the LIST grade have
donated 81 so toward buying pic
lures for their rooms.
Its regretted that there ia not
room in school for every child IN
the city. With US, almost every
room has pupils on the waiting
liss.
SECOND GRADE
The attendance of this grade
has been much better than in the
preceding month, there being
few absent cases and no tardi-
ness.
Much interest has been evinced
on the part of the children, dur
ing the reading of The Twelve
Labors of Hercules, to which
they have listened very atten-
lively.
In the beginning of the school
term, the pupils were requested
to write few ideas that might
be suggested by Dewey's picture
which adorned the vail. The
following effort was the express
sion of a little Chinese boy,
whose progress is remarkable:

ton: Namely-That they would

has been adhered to, as is shown
In reports. The children are to
be cong ratulated upon such a
prao tical resolution, and it is to
be hoped that it will not be for
gotten, neither at home nor at
school. Discipline of this kind is
the most valuable, for the reason
that it is self-enforced, and We
