Ancient City Dying

Fifteen miles from Laguna, N. NJ,
stands Acoma, the City Of the Sky,
Not 30 years after Columbus dIscoy-
cred America, Friar Marcos, a Francis
can monk, heard of the Pueblos, "the
people Of the white rock" There is
little reason to doubt that the commu-
nifty came into existence hundreds Of
years before the white man first saw
the plains of our Southwest. 1t was
an Independent community then; 1t Is
an independent community today.
1t is evident that this age-old city is
fast approaching its end. The old peo-
pie cling to the old customs, but they
are dying off, and tradition is dying
with them. OF late years the younger
generation has been going off to sur
rounding ranches to work for white
men. The present population is given
as coo, but that includes all the Acoma
Indians who come back to the parent
city for brief visits.-Foster Wright, In
Mentor Magazine.

Feathered DueIists

Blackgame may soon fight out their
early morning Journeys in the woods
Of Wiltshire. A writer in the Sporting
Times (England) announces that he
intends to import their eggs and hatch
under French partridges.
The blackjack, now confined almost
entirely to Exmoor and the North, is a
powerful bird and lusty fighter. Any
wood which holds him has, some
where, a smooth trampled patch Of
grass some Is yards in diameter. This
Is the arena.
AS dawn breaks the first blackjack
sails over the treetops, pitches and
sounds his challenge. Another an
swers and the two bow like gamecocks.
The rest Is a maelstrom of feathers
and claws. The grayhens, as the fe-
males are called, stand by and look
ons after the medieval fashion.

Moon Has Always Been
Mystery of Mankind

We all feel very wise nowadays
about the moon, and smile indulgently
as we relate tales of its lonely old
male inhabirant to the young.
Our wisdom, based as 1t is upon
maps and photographs and scientific
theories, is, however, of very recent
origin. The moon for generations was
the greatest mystery of mankind
greater even than the sun. When
Calico, in 1909, first turned his tele-
scope upon the moon. he created
throughout Europe a much greater
sensation than did Columbus when he
discovered America.
Till then the scientific men had be-
lieved in Aristotle's theory, that the
moon is a perfectly smooth and round
body, its markings being the CONT
nents Of the world, reflected, as in a
mirror.
Every one else explained away the
mysterious marks with myths. There
Is nothing more remarkable in history
than the strange resemblances which
exist between the explanations given
by different races.
Almost all of them interpreted the
marks as being a man carrying
bundle of wood. Furthermore, they all
seemed to regard him as one who, on
account of crime, was condemned to
eternal ISOLATION on the moon. he
was indeed, a horrible example to
young and old alike.

Canine Hero SaDes Fox
Terrier From Drowning

Salem, Ore.-Salem claims the hon
or of having a dog whose nerve is not
exceeded by any in the country.
While wandering along Mill creek
Shep, owned by P, NJ Hill of this city,
discovered a small fox terrier puppy
floating helplessly down the stream.
The animal apparently was exhausted
and was unable to reach the bank.
Shep plunged into the stream and
brought the puppy to shore. Not con-

up the terrier with his teeth and car
ried him to the home of his master
Word of the rescue was sent to local
veterinarians, who applied restora-

Destruction of Freight.

Portland, Ore.-Oregon's youngest
hero is Warren Loffer, age eight.
He prevented a train wreck, per
haps saved some lives at West Fork,
Ore, and the Southern Pacific rail
road was not slow In acknowledging
what this little son of section hand
had DONE
Warren was walking along the rail-
road track near his home, in big can
yon, walled by high mountains.
There was rumbllng, and a great
mass Of earth, stones, trees and other
debris came down In an avalanche
over the track. The rails were COW
cred for depth of six feet. The slide
was near big curve.
Warren's observation told him that
If a train came around that curve,
nothing could stop it from blowing
Into the slide. He knew the train
would be hurled down the bank If 1t
hit the obstruction.
So, as fast as his legs could carry
him he ran down the track toward the
railroad station. 1t was more than
half mile away.
Warns Station Agent.
There was a freight train due at
any moment AS he paused to pant for
breath a warning whistle echoed from
down the canyon. The train was APP

The boy hurried on. Finally he got
