practical seamen can properly appreciate The wreck is a ponderous unwieldy mountain of steel and oak weighing between 8000 and 12000 tons often dangerous for any vessel to approach and this must be lifted bodily and floated from tho decks of pitching unstable scows and barges The wreck may bo submerged beneath fifteen or thirty feet of water and so stove In that divers must go down and effect temporary repairs before it can be raised It may be a wreck so shattered that it Is not worth raising so that the wreckers work consists merely In blowing up the hulk and removing it as a menace to navigation Or the vessel may be fairly intact but sunk too deep to make attempt at raising advisable tho wreckers work consisting In salving valuable cargo Often the wreck is one not submerged at all A ship may have run on to a reef where it lies noso on a crag and stern afloat rising and falling on the ocean swell pounding pounding and pounding until the very ocean bottom drones and she Is gradually broken to pieces Or again the wreck may be that of a steamer which has pointed its nose shoreward in a fog finding a beach plowing a furrow through the yielding sand and never coming to halt until it is stuck fast all but high and dry a helpless victim to tho next storm that comes screeching up the coast to pile breakers against her and crowd her even higher upon the beach Appletons

uprising of serious proportions has broken out among the Taos Pueblo Indians at their village seventy miles northwest of East Las Vegas New Mexico and troops hurried by special train from Santa Fe to check possible massacre of white ranchers The Indians cut all telephone and telegraph wires from Taos but reports received at East Los Vegas indicate that their depredations so far have been confined to an attack on the wife and children of Myers a homesteader cutting fences and looting horses and cattle Further attacks were expected by the ranchers and Judge John McFie conducting court at Taos telegraphed an urgent demand for troops to Governor Mills before the lines were cut The governor at once ordered fifty men of Companies and New Mexico guards to Taos The uprising of the Pueblos for years a peaceful law abiding people is believed to be caused by the punishment of Pueblos by Territorial authorities For years the Pueblos governed themselves electing their own chiefs and village coun cillors who tried and punished malefactors of the tribe without recourse or appeal to the Territorial authorities Some months ago an Indian of the Isleta pueblo was imprisoned by Territorial officers and in spite of appeals to the tribal courts and the councillors of the village was put in jail Since then the Indians have been unruly For several weeks ranchers near Taos have found fences cut and their stock missing but the discontent of the Indians culminated Thursday in the attack on the Myers household Taking the census is also believed to have caused much unrest among the Indians When the enumerators reached Santo Domingo and Fan Dia pueblos they were refused all information concerning members of the tribe and were threatened with violence Only after a threatened call for troops and former Governor Curry had gone personally to the chiefs and reassured them about the purpose of the census were the Indians persuaded to answer questions Later The threatened uprising of the Pueblo Indians has come to an end The militia ordered by Governor Mills to fgo to Taos were recalled Satuiday1 a dispatch from United States District Attorney Wilson having been received stating that the Indians hadlsurrendered What Can Be Found on a Cent All of the articles mentioned below can be found on one of the old cent pieces Hunt for them 1 An emblem of victory 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
