Uncle Sam’s City of Pagans It’s the Home of the Zuni Indians; 1,600 Strong By GARRETT P. SERVISS, The oldest cit® in America is a city of pagans. It is the last of the “seven cities of Cibola,” which were cofi- quered by the romantic Spanish ad- venturer, Coronado, when he marched into’ what is now the state of New Mexico in the year 1550. We know this old city as Zuni, or Pueblo Zuni, 'and its inhabitants, |some 1,600 in number, as the Zuni Indians. It is one of the greatest curiosities in existence. The best brief account of it and its people that I. have ever seen is by Prof. 1A. L. Kroeber of the University of California in the American Museum Journal, from which the illustrations here are taken. We are apt to forget that we white people have never really conquered the original inhabitants of this conti- nent, To exterminate is not to con- quer. To hold in subjection is not to conquer. The world has known few peoples who could not be conquered, | because their fundamental social and | religious ideas cannot be changed "-"fforefalhers built of adobe under the | bus’ day.

Roman militarism could take their sacred city and destroy their ancient temple, but the Jewish mind was in- destructible. They have spread over the earth and carried their genius ev- erywhere. The nation that undertakes W.!to persecute them shakes its own foundations, The little harwdful of the Zuni In- dians have been no less true to their origin. In the middle of the old Y(uzblo of the Zuni, says Professor roeber, “stands a decaying, roofless * | and gutted Catholic church, wiich his A secret prayer bowl of a rain prdragon flies are symbols of rain nee iest. The ornaments of frogs andded for crops. two centuries of Christian regime have not influenced the inward spirit of the Zuni. “No sooner did Spanish and Mexi- can authority relax than the Indian quietly shook off the hateful yoke of imposed religion and reverted openly to the ancient native ceremonials, which he and his fathers kept alive by secret practices in hidden under- ground rooms within fifty yards of the walls of ‘the mission.” They wear some of our clothes, eat living amon, names of their own nvention, which may sometimes contain a sly sar- casm, and they count the progress o‘s time, not by our almanacs, but by the ranged by their priests. some of our kinds of food and use a few of eour convepient implements: but they live, in all essentia tters, as their ancestors lived before Colum- . Who Gives Up Most BY DOROTHY DIX. The Blue Pencil club of Brooklyn recently discussed this burning topic: Does the husband or the wife give us the most in matrimony? Among the very clever opinions | contributed to the debate was one by a lawyer, ‘xhio said: “The round of matrimony is divided ihto three great daily eras—the first, when the contracting ‘parties are to- gether; the second, when they are apart; the third, when they are rest- ing up for the first era to start again the next day. “The first era should mean the glories, the joys, the sweets of life, the veritable bursting forth of heaven- ly benedictions; and so it does—in some cases, i “The second era should mean heart-hunger, longing and pain in- duced by separation. I know it means that; if I didn't I would sus- pect that it embraces all,the beauties that era one should. e third era is unquestionably the greatest of all. To those who are truly ideal it means preparation for the day to come. To those who are not it means relief and succor from the day that has gone. “Should the man in matrimony give up his rights to a club? As a headquarters—yes; as a place for oc- casional relaxation—no. His rights to friends? As an obsession—yes; as a means to keep ripened the sweetness of existence——no, His rights to smok- ng? To the detriment of his wife's health—yes; because it is bad for the | lace curtains—no. “Should he give up his rights to free speech? If it is dominating, ! abusive and unjust—yes; if it is in self-defense—no. | His rights to spend his own money? If he does not pro- vide justly—yes; if he has any left after paying the bills—no. His rights Pigeon and Beefsteak Pie By CONSTANCE CLARKE. Pigeon and beefsteak pie is a de- licious dish, and is most appetizing LU0 & dupper, Pick, singe and bone the pigeons and cut birds into four pieces; take four birds to one pound of filet of beef or rumpsteak, cut the latter in little square pieces and season with chopped bayleaf, thyme and parsley, chopped onion, a little salt and pep- per; put into a buttered saute pan and fry together for eight or ten min- utes. Then mix jn a tablespoonful of flour and put4ll into a large cas- serole. Fill the dish with good gravy and garnish the top with halves of | hard-boiled eggs and a little chopped parsley, cover the pie with puff paste, B T T —— tlgef i Matrimony to flirtations? —no. \ “Should he give up his rights to pinochle or bridge parties? If he doesn’t win — yes; if he includes wifey in the game—no. to exercise after business hours? If it is to the corner—yes; if it is with the baby—no. “I can well imagine that the aver- age old bachelor is positive that were he to enter portals of matrimony he would be passing through the Eates of 'doom. And no wonder! Look around you as you pass up and down the great thoroughfares of this great city. See the high-heeled, hideously painted, powder dabbed, short-skirt- ed, outlandishly = garbed individuals, who with perfumed breaths and nicotine stained fingers do the pea- cock promenade, adroitly disguising the fact thay they are the daughters of our most respected families. “Then hie thee home to the fam- ily album to gaze upon the sweet, lovely picture of mother there look- ing forth at you. Can't you see that our wary old bachelor determines he doesyt want to marry one of the pages of our modern fashion books and make her the mother of his chil- dren? “No one canl say, as a broad, sweep- ing proposition, whether it is the man or the woman, as a class, who are! chief contributing causes to matri- | monial infelicities. It is my exper- ence as a lawyer that each case has a different story to tell; that no two are exactly alike. “It is-a mistake to ask for expert opinion from a married man or, wo- man, a father or a mother, on such questions as this, on how to rear chil- dréy, on marriage and divorce. If one may judge by the volumes of matter written on such subjects it would ap-|, pear that those who are best equipped to analyze, digest and solve any and all domestic problems are the old | maids and sour, crusty old bachelers. 1 therefore submit this question to them for answer.” laze the paste over with whole beat- | n-up egg, mark the top with a knife snd bake in a moderate oven for| about two hours.

T You yvei’e answered courteous- ly, ‘“Will you excuse it, please?” The operator knew some sub.’ scriber had asked for your tele- phone number, then remembered it was not the number he wanted and had hung up his receiver, or that you were a bit slow in an- swering and the party calling you had tired of waiting and had hung up his receiver. If the operator had rung you on account of her own error, she would have answered, ‘‘I beg your pardon, you were called by mistake.”’ Most wrong numbers are called because o} persons asking for the wrong number, or to their giving the number they want so quickly or so indistinctly that the operator does ndt understand correctly. The modern Bell Telelphone switchboard, as well as our operating methods, represent many years of study aind investigation, and we are confident that our service, when properly used, responds to every reasonable requirement.
