OLD new MEXICO.
Continued from First Page.

They are peaceful, of course, but
Indians just the same, and l am
now convinced that the real good
Indians are mostly dead Indians.
Well, New Mexico Indian loves
turquoise better than he loves
whisky-which is some love-and
he will give anything he may pos
sess to obtain them, and although
this mine is owned by the Tiffanys
the Indians believe it really belongs
to them by reason of discovery
many years ago, 1t is for this rea-
son they take advantage of every
opportunity to steal as many of
the gems as possible. But a short
time ago a party of them came up
from San Domingo, an Indian res
ervation about IL miles distant,
and gave the old Scotchman the
surprise of his life.
They were well armed and start
ed the surprise party by firing a
few rounds to convince the guar
dian of the mine that he was not
to interfere with them, but they
did not reckon with the telephone
which brought the Sheriff and a
posse of special deputies from San
ta Fe in big motor cars. These
western officers enjoy a little shoot
ing party and the Indians were
splendid targets. Several were
wounded and two killed. The
prisoners were taken to Santa Fe
and were given terms in the Peni-
tentiary.
When we first arrived here
l was amazed at the wonderful
distances the eye can see,
yet it is surprising how quickly
a herd of sheep or cattle
can get out of sight, and this is due
to the hundreds of little hills and
canyons, and while looking out
over the country with not living
creature in sight, the observer may
be suddenly struck with astonish-
ment to see motor car, COW boy,
herd of sheep or cattle suddenly
appear less than a half mile away.
Surprise is very easy, here.
"Any rattle snakes" | am asked
Oh yes, enough to make it interes-
ting. My friend killed one about
so feet from the ranch house, few
days ago, which is highly prizeu by
one of the Mexican ranchmen who
now wears it as a belt. However,
rattler is a fairly decent neighbor
he always sounds a note of warm
ing before he strikes you-and that
is more than some civilized people
will do. Besides, the rattler usual
ly attends strictly to his own busi-
ness and never bothers anybody
who will let him alone. To these
good qualities may be added the
fact that he furnishes a good excuse
for Mexican to keep supply of
whisky in the house to cure snake
bites.

"Tcmmy Atkins"
lFrom Houston Postl .

The battle won, Colonel Wellesley
rode back among the mounds of the
dead and wounded. The men of the
stretchers were engaged in their
CHASTITY work. To his grief he saw
living, wounded to death, Thomas At
kins, six foot three in his stockings,
the best man-at-arms in the regiment,
also distinguished for his bravery.
who had served the king for 20
years, but could neither read nor
write.
He had been slashed on the head
with a sabre and a bayonet had been
through his lungs. He begged the
bearers to let him die where he lay,
and when he recognized his young
commander bending over him the
tears in his eyes. he whisperingiy
gasped:
ITS all right, SIR; it's all in the
days work"
All this came back to the aged
veteran, who had been made marquis
and duke, as he looked over the sea
from his castle Then as he remem-
bered the presence of the young stan
officer and remembered that the mo-
del blank was waiting to be filled
with the name typical, he curtly said
Tommy Atkins!"

Now. when Tommy Atkins is
once more on the fighting and dying
line, comes a word from far Austria
liza, appearing in nearly a column of
the Sydney Herald. from Lieutenant
Colonel Uewham-D Davis. which tells
a new tale of the undying name.
According to him, one lovely day
when the Duke of Wellington, aged
commander-in-chief for life of the
British army, was strolling on the
ramparts of Wallmer castle a young
staff officer of the adjutant generals
office came to him with papers TO
sign. One was a model sheet OF
soldiers accounts and a typical name
for the British private was wanted
to show where the men should sign.
While the young man waited the
Iron Duke fell into a reverie, such
as must occur to an old general when
he no longer answers to war s
alarms. He saw in fancy a myriad
of scenes in his campaigns, and
alone and feeble he fought his battles
over again. reviewing deeds Of valor.
Finally he recalled an incident Of
the battle OF Bois-le-Duc, in the
Netherlands. where, November 70
1774. he as Colonel Arthur Wellesley
commanded the Thirty-third regi-
ment of British veterans, fighting
with the allies. who are not allies in
this day, played a brilliant part In
snatching victory from defeat when
the French seemed certainly vic
torious.

Old Circus Lots.

WITH the approach Of the circus sea-
w son the Rambler believes that it is
interesting to recall that not SO long ago
the circuses that came to Washington
pitched their tents in a more central sit
uation than they do now. Many Wash
ingtonians have attended the circus on
the ground in the southwest angle of 9th
and streets, which was appropriated by
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad COM
pany as the site for its Washington
station. and after the construction of
that station circus tents were raised on
the government reservation on the east
side Of 9th street, in the southeast angle
of 9Th street and Missouri avenue.
The government. through the Office of
public buildings and grounds, pursued a
custom of renting public spaces in Wash
ington for various purposes, usually, il
not invariably, turning the proceeds over
to a local charity. In the annual report
Of Col. o. e. Babcock, in charge of the
office Of public buildings and grounds, for
1872, may be read this:
"A portion of judiciary Square has been
rented for $50 per month for the purpose
Of preparing material for asphalt pave
ments and the money has been donated
to the Women's Christian Association,
which occupies the, buildings adjacent to
the grounds rented.

TODAY is the ninety-fourth anniver
sary of one Of the most famous
duels In the history of the United
States, for as the result of the wound
given him by Commodore Barron, his an
tagonist. Stephen Decatur, the intrepid
sea fighter, known as the "Bayard of the
seas died at midnight on the day Of
the duel.
At the time of his death Decatur was
but forty years of age; handsome, rich,
popular. and at the height of his fame.
He had only recently bought twenty
lots on what was known as Presidents
Square" and had completed the erection
of his spacious home, fronting Lafayette
Square, which is still standing. This
was considered one of the show places of
the little struggling Capital city. whose
whole population at the time OF the Brit
ish invasion was less than 10000.
Decatur's wealth was chiefly prize
money from his captures of British ves-
sells in the war of 1912, and on the walls
of his residence were pictures of his
glorious engagement with the Macedonian.
From thus house. unknown to his young
wife, he crept forth at dawn, March %
1920. with cloak about him and box
of dueling pistols under his arm. He
went down Pennsylvania avenue 20
Beale's Hotel on Capitol Hill, where he
breakfasted with his second, Commodore
cambridge, and two hours later he lay
mortally wounded on the ground at
Bladensburg, where SO many other duels
had been settled. while Barron, with a
bullet in his thigh, lay nearby patheti-
cally crying out: Il forgive you, De-
catur!'
Decatur died at midnight, but Barron
survived his wound and lived cripple,
while for a time Decatur's widow sought
comfort and solace in convent
stephen Decatur was born at Slime
puxent. Md, January 5, 1873. He went
to sea at the age of nineteen as mid
shipman, and saw service against the
French. When bu. twenty years of age
he was made a lieutenant. He gained
great distinction for his bravery in the
war with Tripoli, 1S01-1Sj5. The remarka-
BILE courage which he displayed in board
ing and burning the captured ship Pima
delphia in the harbor Of Tripoli, under
the fire of 141 guns. brought him the
thanks of Congress and a sword.
This exploit, which had been the alb
sorbing ambition Of all of the naval Of
icers of the United States, was described
by Nelson as 1.-The most daring act of the
age" For this he was given a captaincy
in 1904. When peace was concluded with
Tripoli Decatur carried home with him
at the end of the year 1905 an ambas-
sador from that country. He was then
highly honored by the public and many
visitors went to Hampton roads 20 pay
their respects and offer him congratula-
lions. Among these was Miss Wheeler,
daughter of the mayor of Norfolk. who
failed to see the young captain, but was
much impressed with his miniature which
she observed in the cabin. The evening
Of that same day he WAS a guest at a
ball given by her father, and some years
afterward they were married.

up the gardening idea as they would take
up a new game. They have shown I'M
usual thoroughness and the utmost Soy
in their work, and even better results

The Peoples Gardens made possible last
year the construction of the first school
arbor in the country, the summer garden
on the Speedway and the children's gar
dens, where heretofore there was MOTH
ing but weeds and sun-baked banks.
Miss Susan B. Sipe, secretary of the Peo-
pies Gardens. is one of the pioneers of
the children's garden work in America,
and it is greatly through her work that
so much has already been accomplished
in Washington.
The report shows that $161.7O was car
ried over from the year 1912. Member
ship dues and donations enlarged this
amount to S665.17 for the year 1913. The
money was expended for various garden
work, Office expenses and prizes. the
amount for the latter being $3.50 for the
year The officers of the association are:
David Fairchild, president; James r.

that the boys visit the gardens on the
hottest days Of summer. doing their work
under supervision of the Normal School
students.
But whatever pleasure the child gets
from growing and caring for his garden
space is doubled in the fall, when the
flower and vegetable shows are held.
Each child is encouraged to do his or
her best during the summer, and then
when fall arrives the show is held.
1t has been shown by the People S
Gardens that unsightly backwards are,
fortunately, unnecessary. A few hours
work and the expenditure Of but a small
amount of money will make the in
closure one Of which to be proud. Sizes
and shapes Of yards vary according to
the location. and judgment will cores

harmonic with the surroundings. The
thirteen yards were planted with flowers
at a cost of not over S. per house. and
the owners themselves were surprised at
the results they were able to obtain In
only few months.
Chi dren have been working on one gar
den in Washington for many years. 1t
was originally a bed of gravel. but con-
slant application by willing little hands
has turned the sandy waste into a
garden of chrysanthemums The latter
are cut by the children in the. fall and
sent to the various hospitals Of the city.
During the coming year twelve Normal
School students will teach the Washing
ton children gardening. Each teacher
will have about forty-five children under
her. or in the aggregate 675O child gar
deners. The children will take up their
work in 14S school yards.
When the school garden work was first
taken up in Washington a piece of land
on the grounds of the Agricultural De-
partment was loaned to Miss Sipe for
gardening purposes. number of years
ago, however, this had to be discontinued
on account Of the erection of building.
1t was then that the Speedway site was
obtained, and it has been used each sum-
ner since The interest taken in the work
can be estimated Nhen it is considered
