A REMARKAR. Feat

Santa Fe, Oct. S0.-Marcos Jara-
milo, aged IS years, has arrived in
the San Fernando valley, California,
after travelling a-foot from Santa re
where he spent most Of his life. He
carried 60 pound pack and gave the
Californians a remarkable demonstra-
ton Of New Mexico longevity and en-
.durance, such as is often found in high
attitudes of arid countries.
garamillo was at one time well to
do. but expects to spend the remain
der Of his days with his sister and
other relatives in California. The
heavy pack he carried contained his
blankets and clothes, while a hand
ltag served as provision knapsacl.
He wore straw sombrero which the
sun had yellowed. On his trip he
would halt at inviting spots along the
read or in the open country, build a
fire and prepare for himself tortilIas
and frijoles. Jaramillo speaks little
Erglish, but nevertheless made his
~ay easily and carried a burden THAI
might have put young army corporal
cut of commission.

HOSPITAL ship IS
Wrecked AT SEA
THE RoHILLA OF GLASGOW IN
TENDED TO BRING WOUND
ED FROM BELGIUM

London, Oct. go Signals of dis
tress have been sent up since last
night off Whitby, on the Yorkshire
coast, from steamship believed to
be the Rohilla,a British vessel of q
900 tons, being used as hospital
ship. The gale blowing however, has
caused such heavy seas that the land
ing Of lifeboats has been impossible.
Early this morning four seamen
were found among some wreckage
thrown up on the coast. Among the
wreckage was the name "Rohilla of
Glasgow" One of the seamen is still
living. Tremendous seas are break
ing over the vessel and the members
of the crew can be seen in the rig
ging.
The Rohilla was bound from Queens
Ferry to Belgium c bring back
wounded from France. She ran on
the rocks half a mile south of Whit
by. III miles northwest of Scar
borough, at 4 O'Clock this morning
during a violent southeast gale and
rainstorm.
The vessel carried four nurses and
several doctors and full hospital
equipment, All the women on board
have been saved. Every one Of her
boats except the last one launched
was smashed by the seas and washed
ashore. The remaining boat was
swamped near shore and the people in
it waded to safety.
Lifeboats with extreme difficulty
brought ashore two boatloads Of the
passengers, after which further at
tempts ait rescue with the boats were
abandoned. With 5S persons still
clinging to the vessel, which had her
after end broken off, hopes are enter
tanned for rescuing these. Efforts are
being made to get assistance from
other ports.

BLOOD COMES BACK

FOR LEGISLATURE IN SPEAK
ING TOURS


Fred o. Blood, former postmaster
of East Las Vegas. and one Of the re-
publican candidates for the state legis.
Flaiufe from San Miguel county, has re-
turned from Topeka, Kan, where he
had been summoned as witness for
the government in postal fraud case.
While away Mr. Blood was seized with
an acute gum trouble, and has been
,at the mercy of dentist for some
time, resulting in the postonement of
his return for the opening of the cam
paign. However he is now in the
fight with his coat off and his sleeves
rolled up. 1t is quite possible that he
will be among the speakers at the pre-
oinct meetings in the county during
these closing days of the campaign.
Mr.. Blood has been identified with
the growth and development of New
Mexico for the past 80 years, and in
point of residence, service and useful
ness is eminently qualified to parti-
ciptate in the administration of the
legislative branch of the state govern

gan was the INSCRIPTIONS subterfuge
Of certain large dealers in the east to
take advantage Of an unusual condi-
ton for their own profif The coun-
try was badly scarce and the people
were in a mood to receive any kind
of wild rumor about the unprepared-
ness Of the country to Withstand even
the remotes shock of war; and the
psychologists of the jobbing world,
reading the attitude of the buyers, did
not hesitate to take advantage Of the
furry.
That the country is well able to
take care of itself, so far as staple
foodstuff is concerned is fully estab-
lished by the constant dropping Of
prices to a normal basis.
Locally, the vegetable crop is not
so well displyed in the stores as
heretofore. Tomatoes, especially, are
becoming very scarce. For some time
they will be brought in, but the home
product is about exhausted. The sea
son is coming when the housekeepers
will be almost entirely dependent on
the fresh vegetables brought from
other states. This applies, Of course,
to the more perishable varieties. Gel
cry, cabbage, carrots, beets and the
like, will continue in profusion from
the nearby growers.
Fruits are in about the same condi-
tion as vegetables. Apples are still
plentiful and will remain in the mar
ket all winter. without much change
or advance in price. Five cents
pound has prevailed with them prac-
ticalIy all season. and IT is thought
that it will not undergo any marked
alienation. Grapes still continue to
come in, and there are some straw
berries. Winter pears are seen in all
the stalls and preserving ounces also
are plentiful

EAST INDIA FUNERAL PYRE
Immoiation of Silent Figure While
Brother Looked on in
Bitter Grief.

Even as we came opposite the bear
ers lifted one Of them, all cool and
dripping, from the river and set it,
the slim, small figure, so quiet, so
content, on a half-built pyre, G. F.
Benson writes in the Century. Brush
wood and fagots were built over it
and at the head and foot and sides
the fire was applied. A Brahman di-
rected the rites and once, as the
flames mounted and aspired, the
brother, who was watching, clutched
at his heart as there appeared for a
moment at the top of the pyre a
girls face, with closed eyes and
mouth that seemed to smile; then the
radiant veil Of flame shrouded it
again. The smoke rose in gray
whorls and streamers against the
stainless and tender blue Of the sky,
and still the brother watched, quiet
again and composed; he had given
only that one sign to show that he
loved her whose ashes now lay among
the charred and s1noldering logs. Or
rather it was only for the moment
that, thinking of days of childhood
and dawns by the riverside, he forgot
that it was not she who had been
consumed in the flames of the pyre.
Then he remembered again, and look
ing up from the pyre to the dazzling
river he saw there on our boat bis
friend, the Brahman, and smiled to
him.
