THE ENCHANTED MESA.
Story of Great Disaster Which Wiped
Out the Population.

The story of the Enchanted Mesa
was but a tradition when, in 1541, the
SpaniardS first visited the pueblo Of
AcOma. in what is now Valencia cOun-
ty. New Mexico. Powerful tribes in
habited the region. These tribes or
nations were constantly at war with
each other, which accounts for the for
titled character Of the villages of the
natives. The JuereS, whose descend
ants now occupy Acoma. held this re-
gion and dwelt in small fortified towns,
the capital of which was Acoma. 1t
was not. however, the Acoma of today,
but city perched upon the top Of the
great rock now called Mesa Encantada.
1t was a magnificent city Of the nation,
and there dwelt the great men of the
tribe, together with their families.
The rock then, as now, was unScal-
able. save at the one point where a
narrow and precipitOuS trail led up the
dizzy height While not the most con-
venient dwelling place, for neither wa
ter nor vegetation was to be found up
on the summit. it was safe from the
attacks of foes. one man at the top
of the trail could defend the city
against the warriors of the entire west.
One day. while a large number of the
inhabitants were at work in the fields
on the plain below. or attending to the
affairs of the tribe in the various
neighbOring villages, something within
the rock. or in the earth beneath it,
awoke to life and motion. There was a
heaving, squirming and a shivering
Of the great rock, and, with a mighty
noise. it parted in twain and portion
fell in fragments to the plain below.
Such persons as were carried down
in the debris were crushed to death. A
worse fate remained for those left pris-
OnerS on the top of the mesa, for that
which fell carried away the narrow
trail the only means of ascent and de-
scent. The stranded ones periShed from
thirst and starvation. The present
AcOma family are the descendants of
disaster EthnOlugiStS who visited the
top Of the rock some years ago found
unmistakable evidences that it had once
been the site of habtatiOn. The story
Of the disaster had. previously to that
time. been diScredited and considered,
but an idle Indian legend. The discOv-
cry of the ancient ruins, however,
seemed confirma tory Of the tale and it
has since been credited.

ed weapons, and there was no pretext
on which the police or the courts
could interfere with a mans carrying
one. I have sometimes thought that
that might have been one reason why
people didn't care to carry them, but
although they had a short run they
are as much out of date now as the
sword cane or the still less common
umbrella with n dagger in the handle.
ut seems strange now, but it is a
fact that more than a few reputable
American citizens carried these things
right here in civilized communities
forty or fifty years ago, and carried
them habitlally. Probably the great
war and the return or multitudes of
Volunteer soldiers to civil life account
ed for it but I don't think the laws
against carrying concealed weapons
had much to do with the passing away
of the custom. Public opinion was
opposed to it and the improvement Of
the revolver was also an influence in
so far as it changed the character of
the weapons that were carried. AS
said, a great many more men carry
revolvers than is generally supposed,
but Americans as a rule don't carry
these old fashioned things nowadays
any more than they do the stilettoes
of the Italian or the razors of the dar-
kies. AS a matter Of fact the police
don't try to stamp out the custom ex-
cept among the classes they fear and
distrust Probably they could come
pretty near it if they should try.
remember what a newspaper CORES
pondent told me once Of his expert
ence in Memphis, Tenn, some twenty
five years ago.
1T seems the town had been pretty
we'll stirred up over some particularly
narrowing tragedies and a stringent
law had been passed, under which
people who were caught with conceal
ed weapons were sent to Jail for thir-
ty days or more. not fined, and this
law was actually enforced. He. the
correspondent, had n revolver in his
pocket, thinking it was only common
prudence to go armed while he travel
ed down the Mississippi, but he put
it away in a hurry when he learned
from a friend that no influence would
save him from Imprisonment If he
should be caught carrying it. He
would not believe the statement at
first, but on inquiring he found that
the mayor of another Tennessee city
was then serving time in the Memphis
jail for that very offence, though he
had been ignorant of the local law
when he offended and strenuous eff
forts had been made in his behalf. -

Free Seats.


At a church in an English country
town an aged verger, to save the eX-
ertiOn Of continually marching up and
down the aisle to conduct persons to
their seats, used to take his stand in
the centre of the church and, when any
incomers appeared. beckon TO them and
then conduct them to a seat.
The urchins Of the neighborhood,
knowing his popularity. used to pop
their heads inside the church door and
mimic his action by beckoning to him.
Many times he tried to catch them,
and one Sunday morning nearly did so.
But one boy rushed away from the
church and ran into the arms of po-
liceman.
What have you been up to?' de-
manded the policeman.
Thought the boy, I'm caught" but
he said "Oh, sir, there's a disturbance
at that church. and they have sent me
to fetch policeman"
Very good" said the officer: I'll
step in and see about it,"
end Of the church, and. taking off his
helmet entered.
The moment the verger saw him he
beckoned to him, and motioned him to
a seat next an old gentleman.
Immediately he was seated he touch
ed the old gentleman and said, Come
quiet"
The old gentleman replied, What do
you mean?"
Officer-You know what mean, and
l don't want no chat. Come quiet or
1 shall have to take yer by force.
Old Gentleman really don't under
stand you.
Officer-Look here, We don't want no
more disturbance; you have been kick
ing up quite enough and I'm going to
have you out quick.
BY this time the congregation were
looking at the pair and wondering what
was the matter so the old gentleman
said, Very WE'LL have not made any
disturbance. but to save any l will go
with you"
So together (to the wonderment Of
the congregation they marched up the
aisle.
When they had passed out of the
church the verger followed them, and
the policeman, turning to him, said:
Now, then, you have to make your
charge"
CHARGE" said the verger. There
amt any charge all the seats are

THE ONE HE KEPT.-A young man
entered hat store and asked to see
the latest styles in derbies. He was
evidently hard To please, for soon the
counter was covered with hats that he
had tried on and found wanting. AT
last the salesman picked up brown
derby, brushed it off on his sieve and
extended it admiringly.
These are being very much worn
this season, sir" he said. Wont you
try it on?'
The customer put the hat on and
surveyed himself critically in the mir
ror. You're sure it's in style?'

AFTER TWENTY-NlNE YEARS.

For twenty-nine years l have been
at intervals a great sufferer from rheu-
matism," writes James Hyde, of Beebe
Ark During that time I used gal
Ions of various kinds Of liniments and
oils. but got very little relief. The
attacks were so bad that l was often
confined to my bed helpless for weeks
and months at time.
Not long ago, while suffering from
a severe attack. a sample bottle of
Sloan's Liniment was sent to me for
trial. My surprise was great when
found that it gave me instant relief,
and 1 Immediately ordered two large
bottles. l have used about a half OF one
fifty-cents bottle, and feel so well that
l want everybody afflicted as I was to
know what Sloan's Liniment has done
for me, and I shall always have feel
ing of gratitude for the man who sent
me the sample bottle"

REQUESTED TO KEEP AwAKE.-When
Governor Smith of Georgia was Sec
retary of the interior in Clevelands
cabinet, he was once called home TO
Atlanta on business. The duties incl
dent to his leaving had thoroughly
wearied the brawny, so he retired ear
ly in his berth for good nights rest.
Mr.. Smith never does anything by
halves, and the sonorous cadences of
ever increasing volume which proceed
ed from his apartment gave evidence
that his utterances of the day did not
greatly exceed in forcefulness those OF
the night. But after about two hours
his tranquil slumber was disturbed by
the persistent nudging of the porter
That official was asking, Boss, is you
awake?'
"Of course, l am awake" Mr.. smith
replied What do you want?

HIS NEIGHBoR'S CAT.-A Cleveland

Great indignation is being e3-
pressed at that part of the speech
of Secretary Taft at the tomb of
General Grant on Memorial day,
which charged Grant with too much
fondness for whiskey. Mr. Taft
tries to quiet his critics by explain
ing that he wished to emphasize
Grants eventual triumph overtemp-
tation, but his enemies retort that
he was not at Grants tomb on dec
Grafton day to extort abstract moral
tiles from alleged facts, but to cele-
brate the military achievements OF
the great General. IL is probable
that Taft was throwing a,sop to the
Prohibition sentiment, which has
become so intense that as candi.
date for president he thought he
could hardly ignore it. But, Mr.

him, has discovered that the Pro

Why This Hysterical Shrek and
Frantic Appeal?

The talk about nominating Dol
liver for the vice presidency is
breaking up the stand patters
worse than anything that has hit
them during the present century.
Mr.. Hart, Iowa's republican ma
tional committeeman. wired the fol-
lowing hysterical shrek to Secretary
Taft:
Please discourage all talk Of Dol
liver. 1t means practically anarchy
in Iowa and almost certainly a demo-
cratic legislature. You can't afford
to upset this strong republican
state"
We sympathise with the progress
sives. In the opinion Of their nation
al committeeman the giving Of theil
senatorial candidate another chance
to succeed would cause anarchy.
And Ex-Secretary Shaw emerged
from his cave of gloom long enough
to make afrantic appeal to Senator
Long to do all in his power to heae
off the Dolliver boom. Here is the
way Shaw talked before breakfast;
You don't want another La Fol
