3,000 THROUGH MUD
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday was a day ruil of Interest in
all the Sunday schools in Temple as
It was throughout the state. The
heavy rains of the week caused the
streets and roada to be the muddiest
of the entire month yet all the rfhools
show healthy Increase and without an
exception those reporting claim their
people to be better organised, more
enthusiastic and better prepared for
work for the fall and winter than ever
before. More than 3,000 went through
the deep mud to be present at the be-
binning of the fall work. It Is a sig-
nificant fact that most of these are
members of the schools as there was
not a large per cent of visitors pres-
ent in any school. The offerings ag-
gregated several hundred dollara
In the First Methodist school there
were over H0 men and 136 women
besides the young people and children
with 28 new members, swelling their
enrollment to 788. The Baraca spirit
prevailed in the Baraca class, they
having 50 members present, 8 visitors
and 2 new members.
The First Presbyterian Sunday
school began Sept. 7th with Hi mem-
bers and added during the month 12
making the total enrollment 184, be-
ing 12 more enrolled in the Sunday
school than the total church member-
ship, with the splendid attendance of
176 last Sunday. Their gain in new
members, being over the 10 per cent
standard
The Christian Sunday school made
the largest gains per cent Sept. 7. The
Sunday school enrollment was 350.
During the month there were added
194 new members, being 30 per cent
gain. There were present in the Loyd
Berean class, 55 young men. and in
the Delta Alphas diss taught by Mrs.
Bonner there were 50 young lady
members present.
The Emmanuel Baptist with a
church membership of 3 8 Increased
their enrollment In the Bible school
to 92, with an attendance Sunday of
100.
The First Baptist Sunday school
gained over 14 per cent in member-
ship, adding 5 8 new members during
the past week and bringing their en-
rollment up to 516. Over 125 men
were in their Blbl» school Sunday
morning, 8 k in the Business Men's
class.
The Memorial Baptist report^ all
departments actively at work and a
fine program for last Sunday. Three
classes had only one member miss-
ing In each and three young ladies
walked two miles in the mud rather
than miss.
The Seventh Street Methodist re-
port 21 new members during the
week, briuging their enrollment up
to 258.
In the Grace Presbyterian one of
the most Inspiring sessions ever held
was enjoyed by all present. The Be-
ginners' class, taught by Mrs. B. A.
Hodges, had an attendance of 33. The
Phliathea class Increased during the
week-126 per cent in membership,
and the Youug Men's class 1 creased
• 6 2-8 per cent.
The Evangelical association, Rev.
Mr. Doege, paster and superintendent,
report 120 enrolled In Sunday school
with a church membership of only 41,
being the largest school in the city
based upon ehurch membership.
The colored schools rfeport small
gains but that they are all at work. ■

Ed. Telegram:
Men love to "hug delusions." That's
what a young fellow calls his best
girl1—delusion. My delusion has been
that I was going to grite a long letter
home to my friends very soon. It la
better to delude ones self in to think-
ing that he will write long newsy let-
ters to the home folks,—tnaa to say,
he has > > time and can't do it, don't
care and won't do It
We have felt good all summer
thinking of friends at home and of
the many things we had to tell them.
But this Mexican man ana gets into
the blood and one's imagination is re-
sponsible for half of the work undone.
We have nothing but Mexican help-
ers out here, and what with trying to
talk with them by sign language and
pantomlne. and what with trying to
dodge the daily showers alt summer,
along with riding up to the snows,
scrapping around for something to
eat, the necessity of a daily fish In
the Pecos river below, excitement of
the daily mail, keeping In touch with
the few summer campers, and innum-
erable repairs es our log house and
&0 acres forest estate,—our time has
moved in day* of only IS hours. Just
at present we have another very grave
responsibility, our oat crop of about
three acres must bo cut and harvest-
ed, It Is almost head high, green 'as
the emerald sea, with freeaes every
night and no hope of its over getting
ripe before a snow storm catches it
Now this is a problem story—what
wouldu the Texas farmer do In this
cueT Another great problem here
Is getting enough wood to keep warm
at night and early morning and for
cooking. We have to get the dead
dry timber up on the mountain And
drag it down by horse power. An-
other problem is eggs, butter, milk,
bread, meat, and vegetables and fruit

f luoua auto horn, ao gentle reader,
when eomiag ap. leave your auto 2#
miles below. Thousands of cattle
roam over the grassy slopes of these
mountains, but we never get any of
t^ecn in our larder. The nearest
home product is' the "eabrito" or
modest billy goat These the Mexi-
cans raise for their hides and meat,
while the nanny givea milk. It only
takes a boy and two dogs to hord
them. Sometimes the mountain Uoas
got the goats and occastoaally the
toy. Ws ant the goats for ll.fc* and
they eat delicious in thia mountain
air and mountain appetite.
Some people will net eat the goata
becase their cry is ao very human. All
one needs to get a good goat appe-
tite, Is to have a tat billy roped
around the neck out gruaing. and then
try to move him to another spot .Be-
fore the change haa been affected aad
that "cabrito" haa been unraveled
from around one's legs, one could oat
that goat alive, hide aad alt. Killing
him becomes a great pleasure.
Occasionally wo eee deer on our
ridee, but the meat is poisonous In
summer, and no one would care te
kill one vntll Oct. 1st. whea the sea-
son opens. Grouoe are aa big as
chickens, and when they fly, oa being
disturbed, the sound la like that of
thunder. It Is hard to got a wing-
shot at them as they mix it rapidly
with the trees, and when alight In a
big tall spruce, I defy any man with
ordinary eyes to find them. Their col-
or la like that of the leaves, and bark,
and I have rubber necked a long Ume
trying to spy them out when I knew
they were up there.
We have a big hearth five feet wide
and three feet deep and our wood
fires have been very acceptable night
and morning all through the summer.
Up in this neighborhood and altl-
tude, there are about a dosen home-
seekers who have taken up home-

These people are to bo pitied, as they

We are getting up an association In
this "Horse-shoe district Of ths Pecos
National Foreet." to be called the
"Settlers and Forest Users' Associa-
tion." We meet on Oct 6th In Pecos
Village to organise. The Mexicans
will far outnumber the Americana at
thia meeting, and all the work will
have to be done through an Inter-
preter. There are plenty of Indians
and Indian reservations in New Mexi-

the less I like him. We went to the
celebrated "Green Corn Dance' at
Salita Domingo on Aug. 'tth. This
pueblo Is one of the largest on the Kio
Grande They danced half naked all
the afternoon. The dance was mo-
notonous and the chant more ao. and
In about 15 minutes I had seen all I
wanted to see. There Is nothing mus-
ical or graceful in the dance, and it
becomes very tiresome to the on-
looker. These Indians are Ignorant

religion is Roman Catholic, but when
a visiting priest who officiated at the
corn-dance, climbed up on a mud
house and tried to photograph the
bravea and the squaws, a committee
climbed up after him with switches
and threatened to am ash his camera.
In our party was an expert photogra-
pher from Arizona. He carried a
camera hidden under his coat and
his wife kept open a large sunshade
Whenever the photographer was
ready to take a picture she raised her
aunahade. 1 have some 12 of these
pictures and they are very interesting
and give remarkable detail.
The great beauty Of these moun-
talna is the eternal and everlasting
sunshine. The climate haa ita moods
and tenses, but the rainfall Is not
very pronounced. When It rains an
hour, that la enough, and the aun
comes ou' and stays out the rest of
the <^ay. The last four years have
given an unuaual amount of rainfall
in this section. The result Is that
there have been few or no forest
fires. Our foreat estate Ilea deep
down in the valley and in the early
morning we can see the sun glinting
on the mountain tops at least one
hour before It reaches us.

Everything up here la called a
ranch. If one haa only one acre and
raises chickens it Is a chicken-ranch.
Not wiahing to oall thia a tree-ranch,
we have gone back one thouaand
years to ancient cliff dweller Indian
lore and have named our place
"Awanyu."
Those ancient people, whose cliff
dwelling ruins we Visited at the Frl-
Jolee C- on West ot Santa Fe, had
many goda, all selected for some be-
neficent purpose, such as rain, crops,
game aad fish, sunshine, warmth and
successful war. Awanyu was the god
of running water, of aprlng and gen-
tle summer showers, resulting in
bountiful crops and happiness.

year's drouth In Texas, no weoder this

A TEN CENT BOX
OF "CASCARETS"
Insures Yoa for Mtastha Against a
blck Headache, Biliousness, Ccu-
atipatioa or a Bad Stomach
Put aside—Juat once—the salts,
pills, castor oil or purgatlvo waters
which merely force a pa«iageway
through the bowels, but do i£t thor-
oughly cleanse, freshen and purify
these drainage organs, and have no
effect whatever upon the liver and
stomach.
Keep your "lnsldes" pure and fresh
with Cascarets, Which thoroughly
cleanse the stomach, remove the undi-
gested. sour food and foul gases, lake
the excess bile from the liver and
carry out of the system all the consti-
pated waste matter and poison in the
bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep—never gripe, sicken,
and cost only 10 cents a box from your
druggist. Millions of men and women
take a Cascaret now and then and
never have headache, biliousness,
coated tongue, indigestion, sour stom-
ach or constipated bowels. Cascarets
belong in every household. Children
just love to take them.
