desk, seeing the man locked up over
night, and the man brought before the
police Judge in the morning, found
guilty and fined, with consequent
credit to himself, the said detective.
While this picture was taking shape

however, to recover his box before
leaving. -. ..
Belmont is relieved from duty for

Quality, Not Quantity.

The widespread use of the automo-
bile is. without doubt, largely respon-
sible for the increasing number of
fishermen on brooks easily accessible.
From almost any city, an angler or a
group Of anglers can in an hour or
two hours time run out to some Sc
questered stream and, if they are
skilled in the art Of fishing, return
home at night with respectable show
ing Of trout. While big catches are
often made on near-at-home streams,
the angler should not anticipate them.
If he is thus recompensed for a days
try he will be far happier than II he
starts in the morning with big ex-
'pectations and returns at night with
a slightly filled creel.
The true angler for brook trout
should not measure his days sport
solely by the number of trout he
catches. Quantity to him is only a part
of the game, and not the most inter.
esting part.-Outing.

ing their ancient community houses,
filling their ancient fields and tena-
ciously observing their ancient customs.
The route from Colorado down
through northern New Mexico to old
Santa Fe traverses the most fertile
and picturesque section of this stored
Pueblo country, where the work of the
living and of the dead are alike promi-
nent, and supplies easy access to that
one greatest of these Indian communi-
ties in all the SOuthwest-the Pueblo
of San Geronimo de Taos.
Northernmost of the Pueblos it is by
map So miles northeast Of Santa Fe,
and by wagon and auto road only 20
miles east from the railroad station at
Taos Junction, where automobile
stages meet the trains. The Pueblo
was visited as far back as 1910, by the
Spanish explorer fernando de Alvar-
ado, Of Coronado's army. 1t was made
Spanish mission, given a priest, and
christened San Geronimo (Saint Je-
rome), as early as 1917, and since
those dates has changed little.
Here, annually, on September 30,
the 500 inhabitants of the two MASSEY
terraced clay community houses,
which rise tier on tier to the height
of five stories, celebrate the most i'm
portant Of their tribal feasts and
dances-the festival of San Geronimo
Day; dedicated, ostensibly, to their
patron saint, but really a thanksgiving
to the sun-god for the harvest.
This festival, so old that the patti
archs of the Pueblo know not It's be-
ginnings, each year attracts spectators
from all over the United States, and is
attended as well by other Pueblos, by
Apaches and Navajos. Accommoda-
tons for the Americanos are found in
the adjacent town Of San Fernandez
de Taos, two and q half miles by a
good road, where the Mexican popula-
ton of the surrounding country add
their fiesta merry-makings to those Of
the Taosans.
Beyond the observance Of those or
binary politenesses, which devolve up
on any intruders into private grounds
(for the Pueblo owns its lands), guests
are unrestricted and therefore, rarely
is such opportunity given to witness
a truly Indian celebration. Spectators
should arrive on the morning of the
Goth, If possible, thus they will be en-
ab1ed to see the daily life of the
Pueblo and in the evening will witness
the ceremonies by which the feast it
self is ushered in.
These are the raising of the 50-foot
offering pole, in the Pueblo plaza the
gayly attended mass In the little chapel
and the mystic sun dance in the twi-
light, by trained dancers waving yell
low aspen boughs and chanting the
sun dance song.
At night sacred rites, to which none
but initiates are admitted, are per-
formed in the underground estufas or
council chambers; and in the town of
San Fernandez is held a grand bale
or ball to which all strangers are in
vited by the Mexican hosts.

Then in the twilight ends the festival
of San Geronimo.
The spectators from outside may

yet so pronounced in it's features open
to the world, that some will realize
they might have journeyed to the
cobble-stones of Europe, the steppes
witness one much less vivid with the
personality of different race.
At Taos, which has not lost one bit
Of It's Oldness, at all times can be found
a colony of artists and writer's, for no
where in all America can be found
such rich native material. Among the
artists of national or international rep
utation at Taos this month are: Jo-
seph Henry Sharp, Bert G. Phillips and
Ralph Meyers, who make their perma-
nent home at Taos; r. Irving COuse
and w. Herbert Dunton of New York,
who have erected studios and live
there a portion of the year; Robert

Many an illustrious pioneer has
called Taos home. Col. Kit Carson
lived and is buried there; Gov. Charles
Bent was assassinated there February
II, 1847 during the Pueblo insurrec-
ton. Col. Cerra st. Vrain, Judge Beau
bien and many others lived there at
one time or another. The first news
paper west of the Missouri river was
published In Taos In 1887.

early to the Pueblo, and before the sun
is well above the beautiful Taos range
of mountains the grounds are alive
with a strangely mixed throng, and
with fiesta booths where are displayed
for sale melons, pinon nuts, blankets
and scarfS of native manufacture,
Pueblo pottery and Apache baskets.
To the tip of the tall pole are hung,
by nimble Taosan, the harvest offer
ings Of melons, bread and slain
sheep. Another mass is celebrated in
the little chapel, and the statue of
Saint Jerome is borne out, under q
canopy, and respectfully installed In
a bower of aspen bOughs, to preside
over the days doings, as it were.
A foot race by selected runners,
symbolically painted, from either casa
grande or great house." is followed
by dance, again, to celebrate the VIC
