THANKSGIVING TO sUN-GoD
Pueblo Indians Have a Form Of CeIe.
bration Which in q Measure Cor.
responds to Ours.

Each year the Pueblo Indians who
inhabit the two-terraced, clay COM
munity houses which rise tier on tier
to the height of five stories at Taos,
N. NJ, celebrate the festival of San
Geronimo day.
In the morning, races and dances
are held; and in the afternoon, Indian
clowns climb thick pole, at the top
of which hangs dead sheep, vege-
tables and other food. The one for
tunate enough to reach the top lowers
the provisions to his companions. To-
climb this pole at all requires true In
dian agility.
The autumn festival is not so much
tribute to San Geronimo as thanks
giving to the bountiful sun-god for the
harvest that has been plentifully sup
piled.
A great many tourists visit Taos and
attend the picturesque ceremonies,
which are held on the last day of Sep
TENDER, says Popular Science Monthly.
There is not sufficient room to shelter
them In the primitive little town, so
they have to travel to the adjacent
town Of San Fernandez de Taos, two
and half miles distant. Here the
canny Mexican population stages a
celebration all it's own, to extract from
the travellers what loose coins they
have.
