KIT CARSON NOT FORGOTTEN.

Kit" Carson, this greatest, pertsps,
OF American scouts and frontiersmen,
can be claimed by old Missouri. To
be sure, he was born in Kentucky.
put he was only year in age when
the family removed to historic How
ard county, which, although now in
the center of civilization, at that time
was exposed to savage beasts and In

tame for him, and his apprenticeship
to saddler, David Workman, Ia good

Itself. Here today are to be found
many traces of him, for Taos was his
rendezvous and home through 40
years. At Taos he and his wife are
buried.
The house which he occupied for
many years while he was Indian
agent still stands and also the low
adobe structure containing his office.
In Taos lives Alloys Scheurich, a Car

the scout died, and Mrs. Scheurich, the

The doings Of Exit" Carson after
