She knits and fondles her over-sized cats and talks with little Indians who. come strolling bver to look at her many quaint pictures and to sample the interesting1 candies which she con cocts. She talks and dreams of the splendid past. "Christopher Carson Was a great' Indian diplomat," she re lates. "He loved Indians, he sav ed hundreds of them from being killed by his skilful compromises. He -was loved by the Indians. He visited and was received cordially by every village of the Pueblo na t'on. ' "It was against .his will that he took part in the Navajo subjuga tion in 1867. He did what he thought was his duty, and it was in this battle that he received an internal injury that wrecked his health and later- resulted in his deatlf. - "A kinder, nobler man never lived. His neighbors here in Taos loved him, and they still revere his memory. "I'll never forget Uncle Kit's death. He had been in poor health ever since he received his wound and shortly he developed r chronic throat trouble. "One day he called for Gover nor Bent. The two talked over old times and daring adventures, and anally Uncle Kit "said that he wanted to do one thing, more than anything ele in the world that was to eat an old-fashioned plainsman's dinner: roast buffalo meat, beef stew, tortillas, (Mexi can cornbread) and coffee. Gov ernor Bent granted his wish and they ate like kings, and talked of old times. Finally Uncle Kit said he wanted to smoke his old corn cob pipe. He did, and they talked and talked until finally my Uncle Kit became drowsy, leaned for ward, and died like a little child going to sleep."

The importance "of this is that during periods of business depression,: the light and power companies are rarely affected to any, extent, because people must have Electric Service whether times are good or bad. j Therefore, if you invest your mcmey in an institution that is not subject to the ebbs and flows of business conditions, you have reasonable assurance that your dividends are going to be paid when due and in full.

(Special,) He saves the failures. Failures who never should have failed. He turns them around' in their path toward unhappiness and ob livion and arouses in them that spark necesary to success. And 80 of those he attempts to reclaim stay saved and "make something" of themselves. ' This interesting result has been attained by F. P. Paschal, dean of men and professor of psychol ogy at the university of Arizona. He avers American universities have an obligation to save the es timated 30. 000 -students who "flunk out" every year. At the University of Arizona students who fail to pass in 50 of their studies are dropped from the rolls. It is this group Dean Paschal woks with. His method is simple: Give each failing student only as much work as his capabilities dictate he should carry and personally sup ervise his studies. "Failing members of our class es have appreciated their con tracts and opportunities." says Dean Paschal. "All are young men and wom en, away from home possibly for the 'first' time. They themselves, frequently are not aware of their own shortcomings. "Laziness and loafing are not causes, but rather symptoms of more fundamental causes of fail ure. We found that unsatisfac tory high school preparation, low intelligence and too much outside employment were chief; factors. Others were physical incapabili ties, too, many social affairs, lack of objective and financial worries helped.' . ? What has Dean Pasdhal learned for the guidance of other teachers over the United States? "An improvement of relation ship between instructors and fail ing students should be made," he urges. "This -would imply office hours for professors that students might come to them for guid ance." r " " Dean Paschal finds in the uni- vtiMues reacuon to me ianinK BlUaent & peculiar recapitulation to the history of penology and be lieves poor students should be helped, not punished.
