ward until here in Dominica, they made
their last stand. Spanish, French, English
tried in vain to conquer them. AS late as
174S Earl Carlisle, who held Dominica by
royal grant, gave it up as a bad job, and by
treaty between the English and the French
the island was declared to be a neutral
land, belonging to the "Charaibs." In 1856,
however the English changed their minds
and finally occupied the island, only to be
ousted by the French in 1878. From then
until 1904 the government was changed with
the rapidity of a South American republic,
but in the general peace following the
Napoleonic wars the island was awarded to
England and that power has held 1t undis-
turbed ever since.
Such briefly is the history Of the Caribs

few square miles of land, so rough as to
be unfit for cultivation, is all that remains
of their once wide domain. OF their old
pride little is left of their old customs,
nothing. Like stout-hearted fighters, who
must be beaten into insensibility or not
beaten at all, every memory Of their old
glory, their old ways, their old language
even, has been whipped out of this frag-
ment of once mighty people who ter
rorized a continent and swept the sea.
Language for Warriors.
Most curious, by the way, was the Carib
language. There was one vocabulary for
the warriors and another for the women,
which the children were also required TO
use. The boys of course, were taught
the war vocabulary also when they were
able to go out with the fighting parties.

Traders and trappers met here to barter

the town was plated and called Ell Psso.
As late as 1873 there we're but twenty
three Americans IN Ell Paso and about
$50 Mexicans. Then an awakening

here to quite an extent. This has
brought the usual class OF sufferers that
flock to such places in quest OF little
more life. 1t is one OF the saddest spec.

come here for pleasure and to simply en-
JOY the pleasant air.
Tue plaza, Spanish for park. by being
artificially watered, is becoming quite
beautiful with it's tropical shade treee,
its fountain with it's alligators in it, and
it's inviting, restful seats. There gather
crowds Of people from all walks Of life
for little visit and little rest. People
rest considerably down here. In the
plaza these crowds are an enchanting
study. There are pale invalids who have
come to this high. dry climate to rebuild
thei; wasted constitutions; there are
romping children out for an airing; there
are alert and curious tourists from all
parts Of the great American Union and
from the countries beyond the seas; there

toward which all the various streams OF
border life flow. 1t shows the cosmo-
politan character OF the place.
But, to be truthful, we now know the
climate here isn't always calm and rest
full and beautiful. Yesterday the north
west wind rose at about eleven o'clock
and blew down the valley between the
mountains with sfury reminding me of
an Iowa blizzard and trying to make the
parallel more perfect, the wind gathered
much Of the loose dust and sand that
lies all over these surrounding deserts
and threw them in the air and hurled
them in clouds and twisted them into
eddies and sent them flying everywhere.
1t was an Iowa blizzard out done, with
sand and dust for snow and with heat
for cold. 1t seemed like the furies were
let loose and we're bowling their weird
songs. Everybody who could remained
in doors. Doors and windows we're shut.
This morning it was all over. The at
mosphere is as clear, fairly sparkling in
brillancy, and ouly the line sand and
dust that penetrated every room remains
to remind US Of yesterdays convuision.
People here say thes'. storms come very
seldom.

two or three months more. In July,
August and September they expect about
ten inches which is their total rainfall.
Now the hills and plains surrounding
the town and the streets except where

ness portion. are as dry as finder. The
noted old Rio Grande itself was az dry
az powder horn when / first arrived
here, but stingy little stream has crept
by the farmers up the river and now
threads it's way toward the Gulf. No
green field or orchard or grove meets the
eye, or breaks the monotony Of brown
and half whitened rock and sand. A
struggling cactus sometimes rears it's
half savage form as it struggles with the
elements for it's life and perchance gath
ers enough moisture from the stony soil
to throw out a bloom, and a few other
little mountain and desert flowers and
plants are scattered here and there But
this only claims to be an arid and desert
cline. Blessings are, fortunately for
mankind I suppose, distributed over the
