T HE Pueblo Indians of New Mex ico celebrate Christmas in their primitive way, and, although they profess Christianity, they 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 six teen 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 gov ernor of the village, war chief, police official and a council of five members as a kind of cabinet, for the govern or. The governor, by the advice and consent of his cabinet, sets the time for the chase, when the entire village turns out; also designates the time to irrigate the little patches, the time to go’ to work and is ex officio adminis trator of justice. The war chief di rects the pasturing of stock and pre vents depredations upon private prop erty. He is the chief of police, con stable, judge and jury combined. Only serious cases of crime are(referred to the governor and council. After the election of officers a grand dance takes place. The braves are dressed in buckskin pantaloons, with a white cotton shirt. The headdress is of’the skin of the deer or fox, the tall of the aqlmal hanging down the back as an ornament. ^Vegetable Prepefali™ forAs- similatmg MBBfiy • ling Hie Stomstfs arajiflagfe cr smsm Sla One Request. j [ Mamina—Now, what would you like best for a Christmas present? \ Willie—Oh, I’d like to see the abjool- house burn downl May I?—Phlaldel- p“ laPress - _■ i \ Undoubtedly. \ “I wish you a happy and prosperous new year,” said the soubrette. “Thank you,” replied the contortion ist, “I am reasonably sure of making both eudB meet.” Promotes Digestion,Cheerful ness and Pest.Contains neither Opium/Morphine nor Mineral.

Some of the headdresses of the officials are prettily decorated with bright feathers and sometimes eagle plumes. Their faces are 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 bravo enrries In his left hand a gourd half filled with pebbles and nicked at the top. In his right hand is a convex stick, which he saws across the gourd and at the same timo gives the gourd a shake or rattle. This excruciating noise Is partly drowned by the general chant, In which all join. The song is u monotone, as if the singer were telling a story, or reciting historical sketches, and suddenly it breaks out into a wild and loud blare, like the crash of the elements of dis cord in the grand opera of civilization. The dance is a hippetty hop, and the • movement Is slow until one of these breaks is sounded, and then it is deliri ous, like a war dance. This exercise continues all night, or as long as the braves can' stand up. There is a con siderable quantity of mescal drunk at these celebrations, and many of the brgves fall by the wayside. ‘ The pale faces 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 lcinds of games and booths for all kinds of * drinks. The Pueblo In dian 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 Pueblo villages in the territory, and 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 the dealer touches. Another sport is el gallo—the burying of a rooster' in the sand, leav ing 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. If he catches the fowl, he is applauded as the victor. He then races for his home, with all the other horsemen aft er him, with the intention of depriv ing him of his trophy. If they take the fowl from him before he reaches home, he is shorn of his 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 of derision and epithets of “squaw man.” There are services in the church each morning during the fiesta, with the usual game and sports in the after noon and dancing at night. The serv ices 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. PENNSYLVANIA.
