The town of Fernandez de Taos Is one
of the most beautiful spots of America,
and from an historical standpoint ex-
tremely interesting. Here Gov. Charles
Bent was assassinated during the Pueblo
instruction in 1S47. Here. too, is the old
home of Kit Carson, and his grave in the
quaint cemetery nearby. Lately the Ma
sons Of New Mexico have taken charge
of this and have erected substantial
iron fence around the grave to prevent
relic gatherers from marring the monu-
ment.
Many artists gather in Taos, especially
in the summer, and indeed find here the
subjects and material for their master
pieces. Mr.. Couse, probably the leading
western artist has converted a rare old
mission into a wonderful studio and it is
here that he finds the beautiful land

Taos Indians Celebrate
an Ancient Festival
snecia, Correspopdence of The Star.


PUEBLO DE TAOS, December 15. 1911.
Few fasteners can tell where this an
cient village is situated and what Of in
terest it contains. In this new baby state
there are more ancient settlements than
Plymouth and ST. Augustine, and the Pu-
eblo de Taos is one. 1t is found in north
ern New Mexico, some ninety miles from
Santa Fe, the capital of the state. and is
reached by a twenty -five-mile stage drive
from Barranca, small railroad station.
1t is an attractive village to the sight
seer as well as to the student of aborig-
inal manners and customs. and the In
habitants are even more interesting. The
greater part of the village 10 composed
of two adobe buildings. one fvesand the
other seven stories high. In these build
ings, with the exception of a few low mud
huts, the entire tribe of Taos Indians,
numbering between five and six hundred,
lives And these houses are in a perfect
state, even though they are known to
have been occupied continuously for 60O
years.
1t is most reasonable to suppose that
the present-day Indian is very unlike his
things. However, the Taos Indians, like
nearly all Pueblo Indians, have retained
most of the ancient rites and customs of
their forefathers. though in the matter OF
religion and language they have di-
crossed considerably.
They hold dearly to the Roman Catholic
religion, which was brought to them by
Spanish missionaries but they are SUI
perstitious to a great degree and cling to
the old myths and legends Of their ances-
tors. Many .feasts and festivals are OBJ
served by them, the greatest being that
of San Geronimo, or st. Jerome held
each year September 30. This festival is
attended by Indians of other tribes many
Mexicans and a goodly number Of Ameri-
cans. The day is always opened by a
mass in the quaint little chapel. after
which there is a speech or sort of sermon
the Spanish language, which they now
use almost entirely. Then a procession
is formed and they all march to the race
track. where their games are held. There
are fifty runnerS-twenty-five selected
from each clan. They are nude save for
the breech clout, and each one is painted
in q different style, many. Of them bear
ing ancient signs and symbols on the
back and chest, meaningless except to
their own families. They race two by
two, one from one clan contesting with
an opponent from the other clan. This
continues two hours more in relays of
two. The men from the clan winning the
greater number of races are allowed to
elect the governor Of both clans for the
coming year.

Most old people must give to tns
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as nat

The muscles are less elastic And the
bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. And
most of them need them daily. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active This is important at
all ages, but never SO much as at sixty.

On this subject Mr.. Mac

is dignity in a strong, sensible

the eighth. The difference in the
game was that the Kaws scraped up
one in the third which made the Kaw
inning win.
The st. Joseph Drummers took a
good order in the first and looked
like they had done days work. Kel-
ly hit one through Beecher that a

great criticism is due. Brett tried to

Mr.. Buchanan deserved a shut out
game yesterday. Kelly slid one
through Beecher to open the encoun-
ter with the Drummers and another
error helped him along. Powell stole
second by having the protection Of
third being occupied and so the two
were put in scoring position. Kelly
came in on a put out to first and
Powell, advanced to third. came in on
Burton's hit, but they never would
have been there without the errors.

fell down. Buchanan seemed to
have his number pinned in his cap or
else Butch was too nervous to swing
where they were. Four balls were
the groove and Henry swung. But he
did not connect.
While the Drummer chief seemed
adverse to pushing Kerns out to catch

tossed Frambes out to fight his old

didn't have the jinx on Freeman. Only
