The Pueblo*, It la reasonably cer tain, are a compoeite race formed by the amalgamation pf the undent cliff dweller* with atrouger nomadic tribe* which conquered them. Intermarried with them, and then to a largo extent a**lmilated their culture Thia opin ion wm advanced and (strongly *up ported with Indirect evidence by Dr Kdgar \j, IJowitt aeveral year* ago. ta?fe the Christian Herald. \\ has lately received confirmation tLat ap pears to remove it from the domain of conjecture into the realm of fact. For years pant Doctor Hewitt ha* from time to time conducted excava- ' ttons among the numberless ruins west of Hanta Fe. Hy meaaurement of the skulls found in the course of these j excavations he has proved that th?' cliff dwellers were a dolicocephalb j (long-headed) race, The Pueblo ludi j ana are predominantly br&chycephalic j (short-headed), with a noticeable per- . rentage (from 16 to 26 per cent.) of the other type. The difference be ? t ween the two types Is fundamental, < and proves conclusively that the Pu eblos differ widely from the ancient people of the cliffs. Nevertheless, the similarity of their arcihtecture, their industries, their culture and their religion unmlataka bly indicates that the Puebloa are the | inheritors of the institutions of the vanished race. Home of the existing communities even possess traditions to the effect that their ancestors dwelt in the cliff homea. All these circum- j stances led to the conjecture that at some remote period In the paat the i people of the cllffa had been conquered by a more warlike people, and that the modern Pueblos represented the amalgamation of the victors and the vanquished. OLDEST OX CART IN AMERICA Vehicle on Exhibition at Los Angeles That Date* Back to the Seven teenth Century. There Is on exhibition in Ix* An geles what is claimed to be the most ancient wheeled vehicle In America, says the Pathfinder. It wan last used some years ago by a Pueblo Indian of the village of Tesuque, N. M. The tradition was that this "carreta," or ox cart had been handed down from father to son in the same family for enough enneratkms ti> enrry its irt' gin back into the seventeenth century. The car, however, shows evidences of having been repaired time and again, and it may he that only part of the original cart that is left ia Che boles in the wheels where tlie axle goes through. Tho wheels nre hewn bodily out of huge pieces of sycamore and are I'.H inches in diameter, six inches thick at tho rim and two feet through at tho holes. The great antiquity of the ve hide i.s proved in' the fact that there is not a nail nor a piece of metal of any kind used in it. It is built entire ly of wood and is fastened together either with wooden pins or thongs of rawhide. It is an interesting fact that thiB cart is made exactly like tho ox cartB that have been in use in southern Europe from tho earliest his toric times. One sees, for example, just such cars to this day in Thessaly and parts of Turkey. Backhander. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, en route for the suffrage congress at Hud a pest, said on the Minneapolis: "1 see that a number of influential women have appeared as anti-suffra gists before the senate committee. I'm sorry for this. "These women declare that they wish their sex well, but it is hard to understand their attitude. To me they seem to be striking a hack handed blow at progress. They are like the spiteful woman who said to an old friend : "'You don't show your age at all darling.' "'Oh, don't I?' cried tho old friend, dolighted. " 'No,' said tho other. 'I was looking for it in the sitting-room. When did you scratch it out of the family Bi ble?' " A Bird of a Fish Story. Two clever kiugflshers have estab | ,llBhed a home In a gravel bank within i a fow rods of Highland lake, neai Wlnsted, Conn., where fishing boati assemble every morning. Tho bird! i watoh operations from the holes in th? ! bank, and when the fishermen begin I to pull in fish, generally porch and ; rock bass, the kingfishers swooj i down upon the fishermen, seizing th? ! fish as they are lifted above the wa ter.

HALL. "There wait a little bit of a sal comet to the Rainwater country once," the Old Man drawled, hl? pipe hanging loosely .between bin teetb. "Thin little gal waa th? daughter of a eastern ?ky pilot tbat had come out for his health, and was kinder puttln' in bin time plntlu' us poor JlftiQWAUr folks at the treat shlnin' target, as he Dut It. She came out to see him durln' her college vaca tion, an' right away gospll stock Jumped clean over the top of the blackboard. This little girl had a way of takln' hold of your hand an' look' In' wistfully out of her big blue eyes, an' say In': 'Surely I'll see you at service* Sunday?' that Just plumb convinced you that church was tho very thing you had been a-plnln' for ever wince Christmas. "There was two of the boys, Ned Carter, from the Two Stars, an' Hank Peters, from the Double Cross, that was Just plumb locoed over this here gal "Well, these two was runuin' 'bout neck an' neck, an' Ned was gettln' wild, didn't seem to have no con trol of hisself, no how. Ret ho bought If. silk scarfs, an* held up a greaser with his gun an' made him sell him his big silver spurs. He had plumb gone to the end of his rope when he thought he saw a chance to make a hit, an' he Jumped in with both feet. "Virginia's "dad was holdln' a re vival, an* Ned Aggers to himself that If he was to get converted It would boost up his stock a whole lot, bo he sails In. Which same would have been all right if It had been anybody but Ned, but he never could do any thing moderate. All that shoutin' an' slngln' kinder goes to his head, an' he's got two different brands of loco In his system at the same time. "This hero move of Ned's sure stumps Hank for awhile, but he braces up, an' 'lows he'll amble 'round some evenin' an' see what kind of a cold deck proposition this here is, anyhow. Which same he does. '? - "When he gets to the door It's early, so he kinder hanks round to seo what brand of mavericks is fre quently this range, anyhow. He's a scoutin' onto Ned Carter's arm, an' a-lookln' up from time to time Into his face. ? TtrPy goes on into the Dox ology works, an' then Hank slides in an' takes a back seat unpretentious | like. Hank never was no hand to Jump into a game without first walk In' around the room. "Well, presently they commenced to i pet up steam, an' they shorely jerked her wide open! Of all the excite ment I ever did see. outside of a In dian pain-killer dance, that meetin' had it beat a mile. Every once in j awhile some mavarick would let out a yell an' go a-plungin' up to the mourners' bench an' that would start 'em all over again. Presently some of the most earnest ones comes a-plowin* back to drag up others that ain't yet seen the light. 'Mong these here was Ned. He seed Hank a-set tln'- there, with a kinder disdainful air. an' be makes a bee-line for him. "Come on an' git washed of your sins, yo' poor benighted heathen!" ho yells at Hank. "Per what?" Hank says, a whole lot disdainful. "To save you from hell, for which same you're on the express with no return ticket." Ned says, a whole lot earnest. "Hell? Huh! Hain't none!" says Hank, contemptuously. "Ain't?" says Ned, peelln' his coat. "Looks like you're one of them that has to be showed," he continued, an' then they tangled. "'Is thar any hell now?' I frequent ly heard Ned say, an' Hank let out a yell. "'Thar shore is!' he pants, an' soon as Ned rolls off him he makes a charge for that mourners' bench like he was in front of a stampede. " 'You certainly believe in the church mllltery, Mr. Carter,' Virginia says, wipin' the tears out of her eyes. 'That was the best scrimmage I ever saw. I wish Jack could have seen it ? he's the lightweight champion of the east, you know. We are going to be married next month, on tho quiet, and if you ever come east, you want to look us up.' " "Which the fnnny part of It was." the Old Man concluded, "Ned goes off prompt on a rampage and shoots up Redblanket and the sheriff, an' Hank stuck to the gospel outfit like wqoI fto a cactus, an' now is a kind of deputy akv pilot hisself."
