THE NEW HOME OF THE
CASSELL MOTOR COMPANY

The Cassell Motor Company OF
Santa Fe undoubtedly has one OF
the best all-around garages and auto
mobile agencies in the State, and is
owned and managed by a man who
is everywhere conceded to be one
Of the most enterprising and public
spirited citizens OF the city. When
Mr.. Cassell completed the new Cas-
sell Building last Summer, he added
to the buildings facing the Santa lie
Plaza a beautiful structure which IN
every way harmonizes with the spirit
of Santa FEES new building program.
The architecture is of the early
Spanish-lndian type. Besides Mr..
Casselrs own business, the ground
floor Of the building houses the
beautiful FL Onate Theatre, conceed-
ed to be "the most unique theatre in
America. 1t is worth the price OF a
show just to go in and view the two
wonderful Mural paintings that adorn
the two side walls of this attractive
theatre. On the second floor Of the
building is located the offices of the
Hayward Agency, one of the oldest
and most progressive real estate and
insurance firms in the city.
Tourists and others who journey to
Santa Fe by automobile will make
no mistake by going to the Cassell
Motor Company for anything they
may need in connection with their
cars. They will be assured courteous
attention and absolutely fair treat
ment in every respect.

A CHRISTIAN BEFORE CHRIST

(By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory in the
FL Paso Times
wish every adult person in our
country would read Longs translation
OF the M editations OF Marcus Auro-
Illus"
The effect upon the readers would
be just the one that is SO sorely
needed at the present time-a time
that may well be pronounced crucial.
The M cditations' were composed
in the midst of one OF the busiest
lives ever lived in this earth, and,
must not forget to add, were writ
ten without the remotest idea of pub
LEGATION. The author simply put down
from day to day his private thoughts
about life and the way it should be
lived, without dreaming that they
would ever come to the eye of the
public.
Very wonderful and very beautiful
are those thoughts; and, best of all,
the preaching, fine as IT is, is surpas-
scd by the character and daily liv-
ing of the preacher,
Many OF us know from experience
NOW lllA u tdNltl II II W plAdN Alldll
to practice, but Marcus AuroliuS liy-
ed as he preached.
We have here a man who was mas
ter Of the whole world. All power
lay in his hands. \ word, a nod,
from him was sufficient to make his
will instantly obeyed from the Pillars
Ioi Hercules TO the Gauges, and from
the Danube to the Great Sahara. and
yet he wa as humble as a little child.
And 50 we have the real tcst-the
acid test, they call it.
1t is easy for the bcggar to be hum
bile: but to be al l-powerful and hum
bile is quite another matter.
As Shakespeare puts il:
"Oh, it is excellent
To have a giants strength, but it is
tyrannous
To use it like a giant"
The great emperor had the giants
strength" il ever mortal had it; and
vet he used it in all humility and
mcckncss, used it not TO crush and
destroy but to lift up and bless.
Oh Marcus Aurclius, Matthew Arm
ODDS idea OF sweet reasonableneSs'
receives its most perfect practical IL
lustration.
For the first, and almost for the
last and only, time in all history the
monarch was the servant OF the Man,
and the throne made to be the in
,trumcnt OF Justice and mercy.
With what real pleasure do we re-
call the following words from the
Mcditations, One man when he has
done a service to another, is ready
to set il down to his account as a
favor conferred. Another is not ready
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1921-12-30

to do this, but still, in his own mind.
he thinks of the man as his debtor,
and he knows what he has done. A
third does not even know what he
has done, but is like a vine which
has produced grapes, and which seeks
for nothing more after it has once
produced its proper fruit. So the true
man, when he has done a good act,
does not call out for others to come
and see, but goes on to produce an
other act, as the vine goes on to pro-
duce again the grapes in their sea-
son."
Precisely as the vine produces its
grapes, as the fields yield their fruits
and flowers, and as the great sun gives
out its heat and light, did this noble
man perform his thousands of little
unrecorded deeds of kindness and of
love"
The fact that he was master of the
world and had but to speak in order
to have his will obeyed, never for a
moment caused him to forget that he
was a human being, and that every
other human being had sacred rights
which he, the powerful emperor, was
bound to respect.
Wearing with meekness the purple
which destiny had thrown about him,
he used his tremendous power as
though he was ever under the Great
TaSkmaster's eye" and when he
stretched himself out to die his last
word Was-'peace."
In a time Of widespread corruption
he kept himself clean; surrounded by
brutality he was ever compassionate
and gentle; affording perhaps the fin
est example known to us of human
natures splendid possibilities.
Why is it that the "Meditations of
Marcus Aurelius' is not made a text
book in our public schools? Who can
measure the amount OF good that it
would accomplish?

Like the pueblo, the structure was
built of sandstone slabs and silverS,
and according to Benavidez, it was
the women of the pueblo who built
the churches as well IS the houses.
The pueblo rose in terraces three and
perhaps four stories high and at the
time OF the coming of the Spaniards
probably had some 600 inhabitants.
Not far from the main highway and
but a Jew miles from Mountainair
are the ruins OF Abo, II OF the
early PRO villages which also was
abandoned before the Pueblo Revc-
luton OF 1880. The ruins lie in a
basin that is almost entirely land
locked by the foothills. As one steps
over the mountain rampant which in
closes the Abo valley on all sides,
the vision OF the frail walls of the
mission is most striking. A more
picturesque setting or a nobler rum
than that of the Abo church it is
difficult to imagine. The church and
pueblo were built on a hillock bound
ed on one side by the declivities
which form the banks of a stream
that cuts its way through the canon.
The red hue of the sandstone forma-
tons both near and in the distance
give the ruins a character that. is
unusual. The church had a length
of l29 feet and a width Of 43 feet,
The mission was built some time be-
tween l625 and l644, but the pueblo
of course is much older.
However, more mysterious than
either Quarai or Ado are the ruins
OF Gran Quivira, or more correctly,
Tabira. These lie south OF Noun
tainair in a well Travelled highway,
and in a certain sense are the most
notable sight in the Southwest, if not
in the United States. Tabira too, is
n of THE Cities that Died of Fear"
and was also abandoned, in the days
before the Revolution of 1890, when
the raids OF the Comanches struck
fear into the hearts of the ~sedentary

part OF this wonderfully fertile Val
ley.
To the man OF small means who
wants to make his money go the farth-

Pueblo Indians. Tabira is situated on
top of a limestone hill which appears
to be honeycombed with subterranean
clefts and cavities. There are spots
on the hillside where the sound OF a
football awakens a below.
1t is a favored spot for treasure hunt
ers, who have sunk shafts within the
sanctuary as we'll as within the bounds
OF the ancient settlement that rambleS
over the brow of the hill. The blue
gray limestone on which this outpost
of Pueblo culture is built differcn-
tiates it from the red sandstone puc-
bios of Abo and Quarai. Tabira is
more Of the color OF the moonlight
and its desolation makes it spectral,
although of late years settlers have
come in from all directions and loo

ruins. There are indications OF old
irrigation works, but whence the wat

try round about is dry as a bone.

ANCIENT PUEBLOS AND
MISSIONS OF NEW MEXICO
nv Paul A. F. Walter)

Several of the most beautiful mis-
sion ruins in the southwest are locat-
ated in the country tributary to
Mountainair, Torrance County. The
nearest to that thriving settlement
is Quarai, where the School of
American Research some years ago
carried on excavations. The found
ers of the M~ountainair Ch%autauqua,
including J. W. Corbett, J. P. Dun
lazy and William Mccoy, had pur-
chased the site and donated it to
the Museum, but other claimants to
the title brought suit against the
state and secured judgment in their
favor, so that these spectacular ruins
are now in private hands. Quarai
was one of the Cities that Died of
Fear, or, as DIR. Lummis puts it, one
OF The Cities that were Forgotten"
The ancient settlement lies at the
foot of the Manzano Mountains and
less than a mile from Punta de Aqua.
The mission ruins are visible for
miles as one approaches from the
south, the north, or the east. The
beauty of the location grows more
striking the nearer one approaches.
AT the foot of the mound under
which lies the ancient settlement
springs bubble from the earth and
vegetation is profuse. The great cot
tonwoods hanging over the simmer
ing pools Of water, harbor many va
r~ieties of birds. The sanctuary it
self still gives evidence of its former
massiveness and majesty. 1t was

was abandoned, the cause being the
fear of attacks from the Comancl,es
and other Indians who roved over
that part of the southwest. The
church had two towers and measur-
ed 50xl04 feet. The adjoining con-
vent occupied a space Of 49x'S feet.

A EULOGY TO GIRLS

Tell us not in mournful numbers
Girls are but an empty dream;
For the boy Is wrong who thinketh
Girls are only what they seem.
Girls are real, girls are earnest,
And the marcel's not their goal.
Girls have brains behind their make
up,
And they really have a soul
Not enjoyment is their purpose.
As this poem will prove to you.
For the girls have helped this issue
From the start to finish too.
Lives of great men all remind us
Girls can make their lives sublime
And departing leave behind them
Footsteps on the sands Of time.
Therefore, fellows. you remember
That you're not the only ones
Still achieving. still pursuing.
Girls will always shine like suns.
