"TP" HE Pueblo Indians of New MexI
Ico celebrate Chrfstmas in tbeir
? primitive way, and, although
U they profess Christianity, they
H also observe their religious as
well as their tribal customs,
says the New York Evening Post. On
Christmas eve the inhabitants of each
village assemble at the estufa (place
of worship) and elect officers for the
ensuing year. Men and boys over sixteen
years of age. If the latter have
proved their worthiness in the chase,
select the candidates by a viva voce
vote. Women are not permitted in the
estufa. The officers elected are a governor
of the village, war chief, police
official and a council of Ave members
aa a kind of cabinet for the governor.
The governor, by the advice and
consent of his cabinet, sets the time

I or me cnase, vvuey iuc cm uc >
turns out; also designates tlie time to
Irrigate the little patches, the time to
go to work and Is ex officio administrator
of justice. The war chief directs
the pasturing of stock and prevents
depredations upon private property.
He is th? chief of police, constable,
judge and jury combined. Only
serious cases of crime are referred to
the governor ami council.
After'the election of officers a grand
dance takes 'place. The braves are
dressed to buckskin pantaloons, with
a white cotton shirt The headdress
te of the skin of the deer or fox, the
tail of the animal hanging down the
back as all ornament. Some of the
headdresses of the officials are prettily
decorated Vlth bright feathers and
Bometimes eagle plumes. Their faces
re painted in.yellow and white stripes,
relieved by red spots on the -cheeks.
They wear moccasins of leather. The
braves form In a double line and march
around the village, preceded by the
officers and the cacique, or spiritual
head. Each brave carries in his left
hand a gourd half filled with- pebbles
and nicked at the top. In. his right
band is a convex stick, which he saws
across the gourd and at the same time
gives thfr gourd a shake or rattle. This
excruciating nolsfe Is partly drowned
by the general chant In which all join.
The song is a monotone, as if the
inger were telling a story or reciting
historical sketches, and suddenly it
breaks out Into a wild and loud blare,
tti^A. +V*rv oVi nf tho ^lemonts nf disk
ilAC IUC viuou V4 %uy
cord In the grand opera of civilization.
The dance is a hlppetty hop. and the i
movement is slow until one of these
breaks Is sounded, and then it Is delirious,
like a war dance. This exercise
continues all night, or as long as the
braves can stand up. There is a considerable
quantity of mescal drunk at
these celebrations, and many of ths
braves fall by the wayside. The palefaces
from the surrounding settlements
attend the fiesta, and some bring along
their whisky and gaming implements.
In the plaza, or central square, there
are all kinds of games and booths for
all kinds of drinks. The Pueblo Indian
Is not used to our whisky, and a
very little soon induces him to gamble
. away his money, clothes and wife. '
Isleta, a few miles from Albuquer-:
que, N. M.,'is the largest of the twenty
rueDio vauages in iae lermury, uuu.
the celebration here is always attended
by a large crowd of whites. It lasts two
or three days, during which there are
horse racing, cocking mains and other
sports. The gaming tables are run night
and day. One of the games is chusa,
similar to the American roulette, with
a hidden spring which tbe dealer
touches. Another sport is el gallo?the
burying of a rooster in tbe sand, leaving
his head above the surface. The
best riders in the village are selected
to compete. They form in a front line
/at a distance of 100 yards, and charge
down upon the rooster. The rider, go*
ing at full run, leans from his saddle
and grabs at the head of the rooster.
I-i It he catches the fowl, he is applauded
t as the victor. He then races for his
home, with all the other horsemen after
him. with tbe intention of depriving
him of his trophy. If they take
the fowl from him before he reaches
home, be is shorn of bis laurels, and
in the scramble the unfortunate rooster
is often torn to pieces. When a rider
% misses catching the rooster's head,
every one laughs, and if he falls from
his horse he is greeted with shouts I
of derision and epithets of "squaw |
U1UU.
There are services In the church each
morning during the fiesta, with the
usual game and sports in the afternoon
and dancing at night The services
are Roman Catholic?all Pueblos
being members of that church. They,
however, observe some of their own
rights in secret?the dance being part
of their creed worship.

Chrlitmai In Jerusalem.
%
Christmas is held in greatest reverence
by the Christians of the east, and I
nowhere is its observance more solemn
- and imposing than In Bethlehem, the
picturesque old town where Christ was
born. On Christmas eve the devout of
Jerusalem gather together and flock
out -of the city and march to the
Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem,
the oldest monument of Christian architecture
in the world. There mass is
celebrated, while armed Turkish sol-'
diers stand on suard beside the altar
and around the brilliant star, where
Christ is supposed to have lain in the'
manger and which gleams up from thei
pavement, the most conspicuous object
In the grotto. ? St Louis Globe-Democrat
