his decision in the case of w. H. Parks

The judgment was $500 for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Parks was suing for the entire
amount lost by him through the failure
eff the Josiah Morris Bank but Judge
Sayre held that he was only entitled to
the installme nt due him in December

President Ripley, of the Atchison,
recently received the following self
explanatory letter:
Pueblo, Col, Dec. 90.
Mr.. e. p. Ripley, Chicago. III.
My Dear Mr.. Ripley have just re.
turned from Albuquerque, N. NJ, and
must say a word to someone about that
group of buildings there. They are
simply the most fascinating buildings
| ever saw. To my mind there is moth
ing more thrilling than the conflict
between the two forces which meet
on the vast hot wastes of New Mexico
and Arizona; for underlying all the
sophistication of the Spaniard was an
elemental impulse that drove him
forth, as truly elemental as the savage
force which imposed. And all the
glory of the sky and the wide burning
sands n luminous air, and the thrill
ing color were just the fitting back
ground against which the struggle
wrought itself out. Neither conquered.
The savage imposed himself on his
conqueror, and the old mission archi-

of grim humor in it-a touch that the
Albuquerque buildings reveal. Stern
ness, austerity, Limitation, devotion
to death-subnme confidence that they
pleased God-it is all there; but. over
and above it all, peeping at one around
corners n from unsupported places,
the spirit of the desert and of the
wastes, and of the hot sands. the grim
irony of that terrific environment. is
~pervasive. oh, it's a great thing and
| want to thank you for it. AS | stood,
dreaming at moo last Monday, look
ing down the corridor, a squaw passed
through its length. Well, it was the
last touch needed; one could hear the
bell calling then, and the twentieth
century faded out, and | was back with
them; the priests and the Indians and
the primitive life, and s~tupendous ma
ture, weaving her resistless spell over
all. Subtle and indescribable was the
influence, out somehow it subdues one
to its own arbitrary peacefulness, and
even though it be the peacefulness of
death, it is good and joyous, too. So
that | am sure that | am spokesman
for many others who do not speak,
and at Albuquerque you have a group
of buildings which will attract world
wide attention.

THE ~AlvARADO."
Named After fernando de AIvarado-
Translation of His Letter.

The magnificent railroad hotel in
this city, named The Alvarado,"
fittingly perpetuates the name of one
of the first white men who W. stood
upon the spot where the city of
Albuquerque now stands. Alvarado
was one of Coronado's trusted captains.
The expedition lead by him from
Cibolo, the present Zuni, to the Rio
Grande, which he discovered at a
point very near where Albuquerque
now stands, and from there on to the
great plains to the north eastward was
one Of the greatest achievements of
the Coronado's expedition. Alvarado
was not a man of literary attachments,
but he wrote a brief letter to his chief
concerning his expedition which gives
us a very excellent picture of the
civilization of the New Mexico of
three and a half centuries ago.
A translation of his letter is given
herewith:
1--WE set out from Granada (Zuni)
on Sunday, the day of the beheading
Of Saint John the Baptist, the Goth of
August, in the year 1910, on the way
to Coro, (Acoma). After we had gone
two leagues, We came to an ancient
building like a fortress, and a league
beyond this we found another, and yet
another a little farther on, and beyond
these we found an ancient city. very
large, entirely destroyed, although a
large part of the wall was standing,
which was six times as tall as a man,
the wall well made Of good work stone,
with gates and cutters like a city in
CASTLE. Half a league or more beyond
this, we found another ruined city, the
walls of which must have been very
fine, built of very large granite blocks,
very good quarried stone. Here two
roads separate, one to CHA (Cia) and
the other to Coco (Acoma); we took
this latter, and reached that place
which is n of the strongest places
that we have seen, because the city
is on a high rock, with such a rough
ascent that We repented having gone
up to the place. The houses have
three or four stories; the people are
the same sort as those of province of
Cibolo (Zuni); they have plenty of
food, of corn and beans and fowls like
those of New Spain. From here we
went to a very good lake or marsh,
where there are trees like those of
CASTLE, and from there we went to a
river, which we named Our Lady
(Nuestra Senora) (the present Rio
Grande), We reached it the evening
before her day in the month of Sep
TENDER, (September 81. We sent the
cross by a guide to the village in ad-

Mind Slippinu AWAY,

Zach Oats, a young man from Indian
Territory, who suffered a severe stroke
of sunstroke about three years ago,
and who during the past few months
has been employed or the j. l.. Carter
ranch near Kenton, came to town Sat
urday, where his strange conversation
and peculiar actions soon disclosed
the deplorable fact that his mind was
not right. The authorities took him
to the city Jail for safe keeping until
he is transferred to Las Vegas to stand
trial on a charge of insanity. This is a
particularly pathetic case inasmuch as
the young man has lucid intervals
when he fully realizes that his mind is
slipping away. 1t is to be hoped that
proper treatment will reinstate perma.

great plenty; they clothe themselves
with cotton and the skins of cows
and dresses of the feathers of the
fowls; they wear their hair short.
Those who lave the most authority
among them are the older men: we
regarded them as witches, because
they say that they go up into the sky
ana other things of the same sort. In
this province thee are seven other
villages, depopulated and destroyed
by those Indians who paint their eyes.
OF whom the guides will tell Your
Grace; they say hat these live in the
same region as the cows, and that
they have corn and houses of straw.
Here the people from the outlying
provinces come to MAKE peace with
me, and as Your Grace may see in this
memorandum there are so villages
there of the same sort as I have de-
scribed, and among them one which is
located on some streams. Ii is divided
into twenty divisions, which is some
thing remarkable; the houses have
three stories of mud walls and three
others mace of small wooden boards,
and on the outside of the three stories
with the mud wall they have three
balconies; it seemed to us that there
were nearly 1890 persons in this
village. The country is very cold;
they do not raise fowls nor cotton;
they worship the sun and water. We
found mounds of dirt outside Of the
place, where they axe buried.
I'm the places where crosses were
raised. we saw them worship these.
They made offerings to these of their
flowers AM feathers, and some left

the back as well as on the front side,
and after being applied the whole sur
face is finished with a rough coat of
coarse gravel mixed with liquid
cement. On the interior the laths are
finished with a similar plaster. The
popularity of the plaster is that no
hair or fiber is used. The fact that the
same construction is adapted for the
theater, warehouses and freight sta
tons as is used for the hotel and
passenger station is evidence of its
wide application for building purposes.
The furnishings and interior fittings
are to be of special design by the
architect, and the whole will be in
harmony with the Spanish style. The
mouldings and ornaments are cast
with solid cement, and all the metal
work for Hastings, cutters, ETC., is of
copper.
The work on the exterior of the
hotel and station is completed, and the
buildings will be ready for occupancy
within a few weeks.
The entire group of buildings was
designed by Charles F. Whittlesey, of
Chicago, the official architect of the
road.

The freight station to be built to the
northeast of the passenger station, in
addition to the freight shed proper, 80
by $50 feet, will also have adjoining it
an Office building, 35 by As feet, two
stories in height.
The construction Of the buildings is
of the type peculiar to this section of
the country and is patterned, as stated,
after the style of the old Spanish mis-
sions. The buildings are constructed
on a framework of native pine, braced
with sheeting ove which wire laths are
nailed. This in turn is covered with a
plaster of Portland cement and sand,
mixed in the proportion of three to
one, This plaster covers the laths on

The third week after the doe has

and in this she will build her nest of

her breast. At the end of 80 days
the young will be produced. and at this
time great care must be exercised not
to brighten the mother. For a day or
two, do not clean out the hutch, or dis
turb the breeding box. as this may
cause the mother to abandon her young
and the litter be lost. The young
should not be handled until they come
out of the nest and run about the

WHY 1T PAYS.
The first question arising in the
readers mind is how breeding Belgian
hares will pay. AS a meat producer 1t
stands at the head of all domestic ami
mails. both in quality and quantity.
Twenty per year is a conservative es-
innate of wheat a single doe will pro-
duce. The progeny of a single pair, IL
allowed to multiply without interior
ence, would amount in two years to
over 1000.
A physician in California purchased
a pair of Belgian hares as a gift for
his son, who sold the offspring, and
the business grew so rapidly that in a
Few years numerous stenographers
were employed to answer the CORE
s~pondence. and the physician said that
when his 12-year-old son earned more
than his father, it was time for him to
give up practicing medicine for the
practice of Belgian hares.
Every one will not make such profits
or be so successful, out, figured on a
market price of 20 cents q pound or
even less. ii is a very profitable bust
ness. and. added to this the pelts and
the stock sold for breeding, the bust
ness is a very satisfactory one.
A hare or rabbit should never be
lifted by the ears. Grasp them by the
scruff of the neck behind the ears. as
a cat does a kitten. and not by the skin
on the back. If a Belgian is heavy,
do not lift him by the skin of the neck
alone. but support the hlndquarters
with the other hand. Handle them
gently and talk to them and they will
give you nc trouble, but will pose as
prettily as a child. if petted.
The pelts of fine Belgians are very
beautiful and are the coney fur of com
merce. The best skins need no dyeing,

and coats and o a Innings, gloves and

Anxious thoughts sometimes perplex
the wife who sees maternity before her.
If she is treading an untried path, she
sometimes frets herself into a nervous
condition which is injurious and pros
trating. If motherhood has already been
a painful experience she is apt to shrink
rom the coming trial and by her very
mental anxiety increase the. possibility
of her suffering.
There is no cause for anxiety for those
prospective mothers who use DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It tranquilizes
the nerves, encourages the appetite, in
duces refreshing sleep and produces
mental ~cheerfulness as well as physical
vigor. 1t gives strength and muscular
elasticity so that the baby's advent is

for nursing mothers.
