A Famous Pueblo

From 'The City of the Holy Faith. by
Ernest Peixotto, in Scribner.
The country about Santa Fe abounds
in pueblos. l have visited a number of
them: Tesuque, Nambe, San Ildefonso,
Santa Clara, San Juan; but the best of all
urquestionably is Taos, that stands to-
day untouched by the white man, quite
as the Spanish soldiers discovered it CEN
turtles ago, when it became their last out
post that faced the wilderness.
1t lies about 80 miles north of Santa
Fee on a vast plateau at the foot of the
Sangre de Cristos. It's two communal
dwellings, rising five or even six stories
high, rear themselves on either bank of
the Taos river, their tawny, mud covered
walls mounting tier above tier to form a
succession of terraces that diminish in
size as they ascend.
1 shall never forget my first impression
of this strange village as approached 1T
quite alone and saw the thin threads of
blue smoke rising straight from the CHM
neys in the still morning air, the women
in their gaudy wrappings ascending from
ladder to ladder and the men EMBODIED in
their blankets squatting silently upon the
housetops. And when, having tied my
horse to the cedar post of a rude corral,
poked among it's narrow passageways, l
was transported to another world-a
world of long ago, when men dwelt SIM
ply and contented themselves with sim
pie things.
These quaint Tanoans sitting in their
chimney corners; these women baking
their coarse corn bread at the outdoor
ovens; these men, vigorous, healthy, in
this pure mountain air. harvesting their
grain and hunting in the mountains and
housed within the same mud walls in
which the Spaniard found them-how far
they are removed from us and our ideals;
how little have they been affected or in
fiuenced by centuries of contact with the
white man; how well and with what dig
nifty they wrap themselves in the impen-
| etrable reserve of the Indian, hiding from
| every one, friend or enemy, their cher
! ished traditions

Inspiration of Mountains Climbing

From The Call of the Mountains" by Lie
Roy letters, F. r. G. S., in Scribner's.
1t is not the fortune of every one to live
in sight of the mountains, nor is it the
habit of all who dwell amid their enfold-
ing arms to skeek inspiration on their top
most pinnacles. Many, indeed, who have
only read of mountain climbing consider
it wasted energy But to all who are
willing to receive their message the glo-
rious eternal mountains ever extend
silent invitation. To stroll up even hill
is often to find at it's summit new vision
of life and of it's possibilities. AS the
true mountaineer tolls upward from the
valley he is rewarded not only with phys
ical exercise of the greatest variety, but
his thoughts expand before the unfolding
landscape while his heart is filled with
new courage and with deeper sympathy
for his fellow men.
AS a boy | learned to climb on the north
shore of Massachusetts. There, amid the
northeast storms that beat against that
rock bound coast in winter, with camera
in hand, L sought to picture the surf that
dashed mountain high in the air. AS many
have discovered, this is the most difficult
branch of photography; for, in order not
to fiatten the surf, it is necessary to view
it from as nearly the level of the sea as
is possible.
the mountains for inspiration, and in their
quest l have wandered through many de-
lghtful summers. Leaving New York
toward the end of May, 1915, | visited
Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky, finding the
nearby region one of much interest; for
underground there everywhere lies laby-
rinth of undiscovered passageways await
| ing the explorer. Unlike the caverns of
| Luray, whose forests of fairy stalactites
and stalagmites ever delight the traveller.
the passageways of Mammoth Cave are
usually smooth and waterworn, often be-
| ing laid with sand. At intervals the
| swirling torrent of former days has left
| vast pot holes and caverns whose deep
voice resounds in harmony with one s
own. One may follow these corridors for
| 10 or Is miles until the unknown is
reached. Possibly the day will come when
the southern section of the Appalachian
| club may hold its field meetings in this
Fascinating region and, like the Yorkshire
Ramblers club of England, explore the
underworld with rope and camera.
