WHERE THE DON HELD SWAY
.,1,09 of Sant, F, far Thra, CSn*
tu.ies Housed High Representa¬
tives of Spanish Power.
One of the Interesting buildings at
Santa Fe is the old palace of the gov¬
ernor, and from this building for 305
years Spain ruled a large part of North
America now a part of the United
States—Montana, part of Texas, part
of Kansas, and part of Oklahoma.
It was built in 1606 by Juan de
Onate, who was the great grandson
of Montezuma, the Aztec emperor of
ancient Mexico, and the grandson of
Hernandez Cortez, the Spanish con¬
queror who subdued and took over the
Aztec or Indian civilization of Mexico
and, with the sword in one hand and
the cross in the other, substituted
Spanish civilization. El Palaeio, as
tiie building is termed iu Spanish, was
originally designed for a palace, castle
and fortress.
Its vicissitudes during more than
three centuries, under Spanish. Indian,
Mexican and American rule, formed a
most dramatic and thrilling chapter in
tiie history of the nation. For three
centuries it was not only tiie seat of
government, but also the home of cap¬
tains general and governors, their re¬
tainers and families, and from time to
time it housed the dungeon, the jail,
tiie post office, the legislature, the
supreme court, the territorial secre¬
tary and family, the tentorial law li¬
brary and law offices. On every page
of the history of tiie venerable edi
flee one finds romance, stirring inci¬
dents and important episodes, in which
the figures of Spanish conquerors and
Franciscan monks, Indian chieftains
and American adventurers, soldiers,
statesmen, authors, scientists and
dainty society ladies step into the
spotlight to vanish again as Father
Time, grim and inexorable, swings his
cycle.—Exch a n ge.
MAN REALLY KNOWS LITTLE
Even the Wisest of the Human Race
Amazingly Ignorant, Asserts a
Writer in Boston Paper.
The wisest man in the world knows
only tiny fraction of what there is to
be learned, and the mass of human
knowledge, painfully acquired and
handed on since our far-off ancestors
came down out of tiie trees, is only a
faint glimmer in tiie midst of the dark
unknown. *
Much of the unknown is unkuow
able; a little of it, the human mind
laboriously takes possession of as cen¬
turies pass.
Most of us are amazingly Ignorant.
We are like the classic example of
tije school children, conning their
books, who couldn’t tell fhade what of. kind of |
wood their desks were
Actually, we are tllraid of seeming
to know too much outside of the trod¬
den ways; we despise the “high¬
brow.”
And at tiie same time now contemp¬
tuous we are likely to be of some one
who seems to be more ignorant than
ourselves.
Tiie man who lias stopped learning
is living at a standstill. Make every¬
one you meet your teacher, if you
would get the most out of life. That
boy scout, that venerable farmer, that
sharp young salesman—each lias a bit
of special knowledge for you.
Be a student, even though your
schooiduys are in the remote past,
and not a mere book student.—Boston

Honor May Go to Africa.
Ancient Egypt, sharing with ancient
Babylonia and Crete the distinction In
the world’s thought of being, one or
the other of them, the first seat of a
flourishing civilization, may yet yield
1 j the distinction to some spot in Africa,
perhaps the city of Benin, or perhaps
| some ruin yet undiscovered. Benin,
whose great stone buildings surprised
Portuguese explorers in 1345, has of
later years given archeologists a
vivid interest in this part of British
West Africa. Objects found there
show a method of casting bronze that
was practiced by the early Egyptians,
and evidence accumulates that the civ¬
ilization of Benin may have forerun
Egypt or Babylon, to say nothiug of
Crete.

for their generosity if they could see what it means to hundreds of thousands
of war weary sufferers In the Balkans. Here is a widowed Roumanian mother
