DOUGLASS SCHOOL.

Preparations are being made
for the school exhibit. The spirit
and determination of all seem
to be to make the Douglass
school exhibit compare orsbly
with that of the other schools of
the CITY.
This has been one of the most
successful years, thus far, in the
history of Ell Paso's colored
school. The enrolment has
been larger, the per cent OF at
tendance grest ter, and the
amount of work done has been
quite satisfactory to all concern
ed.
Our folks have waited long for a
colored graduate and the teachers
have not only waited but iabored
hard for 1t. The school year of
'99 and 1900 will see two, 1900 and
1901 two, 1901 and 1902 one, 1902

With the old mans iaziness, he had
| still less confidence ip his prayers, but
! he had kind of superStitious fear of
| rebuking him for going to mass. The
cunning old fellow knew this and as
often as there was extra work to do, so
often did he feel called on to go.
Il was late, very late, when he got
home. He ad spent much time on the
road coming in by the foot hills, leav-
| ing the main road 10 the left as he US
ually did.
A stranger would have looked twice
| at the peculiar figure winding In and
out among the cacsi far from the pu bile
road. Not SO with the natives for, for
| fifteen years and more, they had seen
| the same sight and would only remark,
| "Old Pedro is drunk again."
Pedro Flores had been a great dandy
in his day as those who knew him
| would tell you, and the starry eyed
senorita, his sister, was the handso-
NEST woman in the valley. She had
more lovers than many lass with a
larger dowry, and when she took it into
her head to ride away across the river
with white faced stranger aud be
married by justice of the peace,
which to her family was no marriage
at all, Pedro swore with q round
Spanish oath that he would be
avenged; and avenged he was, for up
in a crevice of q mountain side in a
sandy grave lie the bones of the white
faced stranger and near them under a
rock is hidden fifty dollars in gold and
silver.
The miles and miles that Pedro had
walked around and about that lonely
spot, without sufficient courage to go
to 1t, would nearly circle the earth.
His prayers to the Holy Virgin we're
not for forgiveness Of his sins
bit for help to go to that lone grave, to
secure the treasure hidden sthere.
now and in the magnanimity of his
heart Pedro promised himself to give
Ricardo. the son OF the murdered man.
| well-some of it at least.
Ricardo was a stslwart sturdy lad
and until lately had been content to
lead the life of those around him: but
alas, fair senorita, the daughter of
the Dutchman who worked in the big
smelter, ell otro lado del rio, bad
crossed the panorama of his vision and
left her shadow there. Sleep had de-
serted his eyes, peace had fled from his
mi ind and today as he sat under the had g
of a tree whisking flies off the burros
with loug straws, be felt very much as
Eliza did when he threw himself under
to let him die. Now Ri
as grandes" or money galore, but for
one good crop which would enable him
to fatten up the burros and goats and
give him extra money to buy a certain
pair of pink slippers on exhibition In
shop window in town. Oh, vain am
bition, oh, hope deferred, he had seen
those slippers slowly fade from pink to
white; the corn from green to yellow;
likewise his hopes, rosy in the spring,
seemed altogether colorless now, for
that morning the fair one had tilted

The burning sun was pouring down
ON the little Mexican village, and was
beginning to send its slanting rays into
the doors of the dug outs" as II 1t
would 10 spite of the thick layer OF dirt
on top, drive out the cool air within
and infuse them with the awful
heat that had settled down on the
valley outside. The stiffness OF death
reigned; not leaf stirred.
There was NO wind from of the
stacks and heaps of elephant cOlored
rocks, which form the banks OF the
Rio Graude, or as nearly as IL mas
banks, for these mountains are In
places several miles from the river,
and when the snow 10 Colorado begins
to melt, the river grows wider and
wider, aud frOlics from foot hill to
foot hill. except when kept in check
by ievees.
But it was many day since the
na.ives had seen enough water there
to cause them uneasiness, Tor the
many dams in New Mexico had this
year ro bbed the grand old river of its
usual supply and left the settlers water
less.
Nothing could be more unlike; this
heat, intense as It is, and that OF other
warm countries. The air Is light aid
pure, free from all moisture, impregna-
tions and sharp, strong scents.
The cactus and grease wood grew up
out of the ashy soil with scarcely q
particle of water. But heretofore the
valley along the acequia had iOurished
like green bay tree. A nd IL was sad
day, this, for the awful drouth that had
lasted for four long months had reach
ed a climax.
The corn, the principal product of the
settlers, stood scorched and dried In
the fields.
The chile. the pride Of the Mexican
heart, which they had expected to
market across the river for mucho
dinerO, was withsred aud parched In
the sunshine. Their burros and goats
stood with their heads dropped under
the shade of the old cottonwood trees
shat grow on the banks of the aceQ uta
in which little water still stood.
Old Pedro, stretched on a blanket Of
many colors, snored peacefully, the
Precipitation trickling down his
wrInkled leather-colered vissge. He
was sleeping the sleep of the just and
why shouldn't he? Hadn't he been
that morning, and walked too, to the
old church in town seven miles OIL, in
time for early mass, and when he was
filled up ON teQuils walked back with
out feeling the fatigue? Pedro was
q shrewd old chap. There was extra
work to do that morning.
The little muddy water in the ace
ouia was not sufficient for the burros
and goats, and Ricardo told him the
night before that if they did not fed
water for them. they would surely die.
To speak was to act with Ricardo.
This the old man knew, so in the early
morning before any of the household
were astir, he slipped out and was
gone to ask the Holy Virgin to help
them find water, and left Ricardo to do
the work.
AS little patience as Ricardo had

and 1908 not less than five,s that
after the first, more are sure to
follow.
Washington birthday was ap
propriately observed by brief ex-
ercises on Wednesday afternoon.
Geographic sketches, compost
tions on the life aud character OF
Washington, recitatious and
patriotic songs comprised the
afternoons exercises Each and
all seemed to enjoy the program
so we'll rendered by the pupils.
In the closing exercises of the
school this year, something unu-
sual will take place; two young
ladieswill read graduating essays,
receive diplomas from the super
intendent and by all this start q
new era in the life and character
of Ell Paso's colored school. A
quotation from Longfellow may
be fitting just here.
"Let US then be up and doing
With a heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to Labor and to wait"
A recent visit of the superin-
tendent to the school was much
enjoyed and appreciated by the
teachers and pupils. His words
of encouragement to the teachers
and kindly lecture to the pupils
were we'll received as was evil
denced by the close attention
given by all. He seemed we'll
repaid for his visit because of the
hearty rendition of two of the
schools choicest musical selec-
tions. While the negro has
faults he can fill the heart with
gladness with his soul stirring
songs. The efforts of our school
are to induce the pupils to put as
much soul and spirit into their
every day work as they do in
their singing. We feel that
whole souled singing and whole
souled work go we'll together.

Lowell. In all the rooms these
special days were talked over
more or less; but the greatest
celebration WAS in honor of the
birthday of the "Father of His
Country" All the month ma
tioDal songs were sung, patriotic
memory gems sparkled along the
way, the old familiar stories and
anecdotes recounted, essays and
other language work forming
the heavier part of the delight
full symphony. Making loyal,
just and impartial citizens is not
a thoughtless task, nor ia it of
less Importance than the regular
routine of textbook work.
And there was also st. Valen-
tines day. about as dear to the
child's heart as any day in the
whole year. Teachers may dis
course as they please of our great
country, its heroes and it's poets,
but cannot impress child life
with as much force as these bits
of decorated paper. And. since
the little children naturally care
more for these bright, dainty,
lace-edged tokens than any thing
in the world, the true teacher
tries to come right down to the
child-plane and live their valen-
tine day with them.
On the afternoon of February
twenty-seventh the pupils of the
fifth grade held exercises in
honor of 81. ". Longfellow.
The program was we'll carried
out and the visitors expressed
themselves we'll pleased with the
entertainment. The dialogue
was particularly good. Miss
Hilds Wolf made very attract
i've grandmother with her spec
tscles and powdered hair, and
when the three pretty grand
children stood about her chair
the children made a tableau that
would have delighted the heart
of the gentle poet.
The teachers of the fourth and
fifth grades are now reading to
their pupils Kirk Monroe g story,
"With Crockett and Bowie in
Texas" The children are be-
coming intensely interested in
the history of their state. and
are eager to learn more of her
heroes. It ia hoped that our
Texas holidays will mean some

NOTES FROM AOY

Good work has been done all
through the school year, but the
children are exerting themselves
to the utmost now SO as to obtain
the coveted promotion card.
Both teachers, pupils. and jsni-
tors would thank the board very
much if it would make US q pre-
sent of some storm strips. Being
right in the sand center, we get

that he may recover.
Washington birthday. togeth-
err with Arbor Day, was pleasant
ly observed here. The children
contributed trees and enjoyed
planting them. The trees plant
ed last Arbor Day are nearly all
doing well and it is hoped to

her little freckled nose in the air when
Ricardo passed by. and very distinctly
called him greaser. But hope is q
tickle goddess, aud in short time
she, was back wooing him on to the
goal. He sprang from the shade, took
up his hoe and went madly to digging
the dust around the dry corn
stalks, but in few minutes he
realized the uselessness of his labor
and threw down his hoe. 81 will go
and bring the water up nere,'' he said,
as he started off swiftly towards the
river; then turned back to meet the
gaunt, hollow eyes of the animals look
ing wistfully at him. They just could
travel to the river and back now, they
were SO EN- aciated and in few days
more would have to be left near the
water to die or be stolen, Ricardo
left them and went into the house and
knet before the little altar in the cor
ner of the room and prayed a little
wordless prayer for help in this their
awful need, and who will say that
prayer was not answered.?
He was startled from his COM
muning by a feeble moan in the ad-
joining room and on going in found old
Pedro tossing on the floor, throwing
his arms above his head and uttering
indistincS words. Ricardo gave him
some water and sat down on q cot near
by to await developments. He real
lied what had happened.
The long walk in the intense heat
had been too much for the old man.
He knew that the end was near but he
did not care. The calmness of despair
was in his heart.
Presently the old man began NUT
teriug again: Money, money, money,
was all Ricardo could catch. He got
up and took down a towel, went to an
h Ib IL, &c
room. poured some water on it and laid
it gently on his head.
When this had been repeated several
times, he lay quiet for while, then
opened his eyes and looked wistfully
at Ricardo, who instantly went and
bent over him.
1T ia there" he said, pointing to-
wards the mountains, "go and get it.
You will not be afraid of his spirit.
"What do you mean?" Ricardo
asked.
Money, money" repeated the old
man, then he slept for awhile and
when he awoke there was very little
life left in the old frame
MONEY!" he said, your fathers
money" always intended to get it but
could not. 1 killed him, and buried it
under q rock.''
Ricardo thought he was wandering
again. The old man seemed to realize
what he thought, for he clutched him
by the arm. raised bimselfo on his elbow
and pointed with trembling finger to-
wards the mountains.
"Your fathers money Ia there he
almost shrieked. | killed him and hid
it under the big yellow rock on the left
hand side of the middle crevice OF
Mount Juan. Get it,
The effort WAS too much, he clapped
his hands to his head and fell back
dead.
Three days later found Ricardo
vending his way up the mountains
side. Curiosity more than faith
prompted him to go.
There was no sign OF any grave blu
less than foot under the ground he
found the fifty dollars lying loose in
the sand.
Three hours later Ricardo stood in

MORNING KINDERGARTEN

We were glad to have so many
of our friends with US last week.
Come often, we like to have you
take an interest in the work.
The attendance in the Kinder
garten for the past month has
not been as good IS we would
wish. Hops the measles will
soon run it's course and the chill
dren will return.
Washington Birthday In the
morning Kindergarten was cele-
brated in the regular way. The
historical points connected with
the birth of the nation and flag
the hard ships aud suffering en-
dured by Washington and his
soldiers. in order that we today
might enjoy the benefits of a free
country, were fully developed.
The truth that our country is
free only to the individual who
0DeyS the Universal laws OF right
was emphasized during tho week.
To give the child ideals towards
which he may work is the aim of
true education. Right motives
prompt right acts. The child is
lead to pursuit of the good, by
the recognition. honor. and res
pect, shown to the god in others
aud himself. Through the
character of Washington we en-
deavor to lead the child to real

AFTERNOON KINDERGARTEN.

The Kindergarten was re-
splendent In national colors for
Washington's birthday. The
room WAS bright with red, white
and blue bunting; and on a back
ground of white studded with
stars, hung a large picture of
Washington, the soldier. Each
of the sixty children carried a
flag and they themselves were
the center of attraction in their
quaint colonial costumes. They
were merry as larks and sang
sweetly Goodevening to the
Sunshine, to The Plsyroom, to
The Teachers and TO each other.
Then came the trade songs.
The Woodman, The Carpenter,
Blacksmith, Shoemaker and last

marching by a company of Wash
ington soldiers, and the minia-
ture George and Martha went
through the figures of the state

fathers. Light refreshments of
tea and cake closed the program.
Pictures of the entire Kinder
garten and of the children 10
troupes were taken by Mr.. Q. D.
