Woodrow Wilson naturally believes
In college education for boys and

"Mr. Wilson, lunching with me here,
once said in his quaint way that the
old idea about a college education un-
fitting a lad for work had quite died
out.

sufficiently cooled to permit to admit that the
conspirators were not greatly to be blamed for
cherishing the desire to restore the autnority Oh
Mexico, for they loved the country OF their pirtn
and believed that they had been treacherousiy
betrayed by General Armijo That the leaders OF
the movement contemplated or approved OF the
ruthless massacre of Americans is improbable.
Their mistake was that they unclaimed the mob.
and then found themselves powerless to direct
control it.
In the Taos massacre sixteen or seventeen
Americans were slain including Governor Charles
Bent AS soon as word of the massacre reached
Santa Fe Colonel Price sent with troops to
quell the disturbance. The Indians had been In
duced to join the rebels and the only important
fight occurred at Pueblo de Taos. 1t was not so
much fight as a slaughter, The Indians re-
walls the balls of Prices sx-pounder howitzers
wads. Finally hole made in the walls Of
the church. and through this the muzzles Of the
howitzers were thrust. loaded with scrap iron.
The slaughter was frghtfu and soon the wood
rafters and timbers of the church caught fire.
That too much for Indian fortitude.
They burst open the doors and fed to the noun
tains. Before they reached a place Of safety
they were met by Colonel Ceran st. Vrain. with
his band Of mountaineers. who administered
further punishment
After the battle than 200 Indians were
buried among the ruins of the church To this
day beads that adorned the bodies of the slain
redskins may be picked from the numerous ant
hills that found within the ancient
inclosure
