A COLORADO STORY.
WHY THE RIVER AT TRINIDAD BEARS
TH REE NAMES.
A Queer Kink In Nomenclature Explained
by a Rocky Mountain Editor—The Ro-
mance of the Lost Mexican Soldiers Who
Were Bound For St. Augustine.
“Some queer kinks in nomenclature
are discoverable in this country of
ours,” said Colonel William Stapleton-
of Trinidad, Colo. ,“Running right
through the town of Trinidad, in which
I live, is a little river, which familiarly
and indiscriminately does its muddy,
flowing business under zhrcc names. It
is called variously the 16 s Animus. the
Purgatorio and the Picket Wire. The
names came about in this way: .
“Santa. Fe claims to be and is about
the same age as St. Augustine, Fla.
Both towns are considerably over 300
years old, although I forget the exact
date of their settlement.
“Back in the middle of the sixteenth
century the Spaniards at Santa Fe made
' up a military detachment to go overland
to St. Augustine. The old dons didn’t
know anything of the country which
lay between. All they were posted on
ms the distance and the general direc~
tion, as they knew the latitude and
longitude of both places. Rather late in
the fall some 700 of them, steel clad
soldiers, camp followers, baggage train
and women, pushed in through the
Baton pass over the trail now followed
by the Santa Fe railroad, and at the be-
ginning of winter made acamp at what
is now the site of Trinidad, which sits
fairly in the mouth of the Ratou can-
yon, looking out on the plains.
“There they were on the very thresh-
old of the Rockies. To the east of
them, over which their course must
trend, lay an utter waste of plains, ap-
parently without limit. All that win-
ter the Spaniards camped in the mouth
. of the Raton canyon. With wins, wom-
an and song, they put in a hilarious
time, and probably had as much fun as
they ever had before or since. Winters
are not rigorous and spring comes early
in the'vicinity of Trinidad.
“With the first coming of the early
grass the adventurers banished their ar-
mor, fitted up their houses and got ready
to move. The camp followers, the wom-
en and the extra baggage they sent back
When last seen, the party
bound for St. Augustine, numbering
several hundreds, were marching down
the valley of the little river by which
they had camped.
‘ ‘That was the last ever heard of them.
Not a feather ever floated back to tell
the story of their fate. With the last
flap of the last banner and the latest
sun glint on the rearmost steel cap they
To this
day no one is able to make a suggestion
even as to what became of them, except
that it is supposed they were butchered
by the Indians.
“Fifty years ago there was an old Co-
manche chief namedIron Shirt, because
of a rusty old shirt of chain mail which
he wore, but neither he nor any of the
other Comanches knew anything of the
origin of the garment nor where it came
from. It had been in the tribe further
back than the short Comanche memory
could reach. Many have supposed that
it was a relic of this Spanish expedition
of three centuries ago, which had ap-
parently marched off the earth that far-
away spring day in the mouth of the
Raton canyon.
“But now for the kink in nomencla-
ture I was thinking of. The disappear-
ance of these Spanish soldiers seemed so
eerie and witchlike that it made a pro-
found impression on the superstitious
people they had left behind. They nam-
ed the little river Rio de Las Animas,
meaning the River of the Lost Souls,
and it is supposed to hold the story of
the expedition’s dark fate and repeat it
to itself in the river language, which
the Mexicans do not pretend to under-
stand.
“When the French fur traders under
Sublette and St. Vrain came trapping
in those waters from St. Louis, in a
French effort at translation they made
out that the River of the Lost Souls
must mean the Purgatory river, and so
gave the river its translated name of
Purgatorio.
“Later, when the American bull-
whacker marched through on his way
to Santa Fe, he accepted the French
name, but called it the Picket Wire.
To this day the river wears all three
titles, as the reader would soon learn
by turning to the Trinidad newspapers,
where he would find cattle brands ad-
vertised as having their ranges variously
on the Las Animas, the Purgatorio and
the Picket Wire.
“Every man picks out his name for
himself, but they all mean the same
river. It isn’t much of a. river either,
only about .20 feet wide at Trinidad.
The Mexicans, however, loyally stick
to the name of Rio de Las ‘Animas,
and Mexican mothers tell their children
of the soldiers who, hundreds of years
ago, marched from there and were
never heard of again. ”-—Washington

Just Like a Woman.
A young and well dressed woman en-
tered Charing Cross telegraph office the
other day and wrote out a dispatch to

reflected for a moment, and , then
dropped it on the floor and wrote a sec-
ond. This she also threw away, but was
satisfied with the third and sent it off.
The three telegrams read; '
First. —“Never let me hear from you
again. ” . .
Second—“No one expects you to re-
turn. ”
Third. —“Oome home, dearest. All is

HAVE YOU THE TIME ‘3
THE ODDS ARE TWENTY TO ONE
THAT YOU HAVE NOT.
Some of the Reasons Why Most Time-
pieces Are Always More or Less Out of
the Way—flow Correct Time Is Receiv-
ed DallyFr-om Washington. '
Ninety-nine men out of a hundred
keep incorrect time. N inety-nine men
out of a hundred are just in the act of
regulating their watches in front of a
window that has a chronometer in it.
If you ask a man the time, and his
watch is wrong, he is invariably going
to the watchmaker that very day to
have it put in order. No one has any
idea of keeping the correct time. All
believe that they have it in their pock-
ets, and none ever gets it except at the
moment of setting his watch.
If you have a friend in the railroad
business and stop him in the street with
a friendly “Hello, old fellow, what’s
the time? You always have it correct,”
he will haul out his timepiece with an
important air and give the hour in a
voice that shows he knows what time it
is and that he is never wrong. A
square. or two farther on you chance to
meet another friend in the same line of
business. You ask him the time, receive
an answer, smile to yourself and pass
on. There was ten minutes’ difference
between them. Every time the state-
house bell strikes a. hundred men pull
out their watches with a confident air
of being correct and put them back
with an expression of extreme surprise.
We all live, flourish and die in time,
but no one keeps the correct immediate
record of the moments that beat out
slowly and surely the limit of longevity.
An experienced jeweler and watch-
maker, when asked the reason why so
few people kept good time, said that
nine-tenths of the causes of bad running
watches was due to carelessness and
irregularity in winding. A watch
should be wound at the same time
every day, and it ought to be regulated
on one day every week at the noon
hour, when both hands come together.
The finest watches cannot be made per-
fect, and the best way to detect any
difference between the two hands is to
reset them at 12 o’clock, and if they
are not exactly together make them so
by holding the longer and winding the
hour hand up to it.
An expensive jeweled watch ranging
from $500 to $1,000 is very seldom in
good running order simply because the
owner is afraid to let a jeweler tamper
with it and does not dare touch it him-
self. ‘ -
In a. large city correct time, absolutely
correct time, is a matter between some
dozen or two of men who follow almost
every stroke of the pendulum and cor-
rect their chronometers with as much
daily regularity as Captain Cuttle did his
famous timepiece. Women are said to
be the most careless in the attention to
watches. A lady has a watch presented to
her by a gentleman friend and volun-
tarily promises to keep it in the very
best running order. The gentleman
friend has his misgivings on that score,
but he gets the jeweler to putit in good
shape a couple of weeks ahead and there-
upon hands it over to the lady. N ow,
that watch has been running liken chro-
,nometer until the fair owner getshold
of it. The first thing she does is to no-
tice the time in a store window, and as
her watch does not agree with it she sets
it accordingly, putting the regulator
away over to one side. That night she
forgets to wind it up, the next morning
she winds it up only half way for fear
of breaking the main spring and sets it
by another clock in the afternoon. Then
it- runs down inside of eight hours, and
she thinks it is running wild—as it very
likely is, since she has put the regulat-
ing lever back and forth no less than six
times in the course of a week. After
this she wonders why the watch is al-
ways wrong and blames the jeweler.
Correct time comes into Philadelphia
every day at noon by telegraph from the
United Statesatime observatory at Wash-
ington, where the “drop ball” makes
an electric contact that sends the signal
all over the country. The first clock in
the city communicating with the observ-
atory wire is at the Maritime Exchange.
At 56 minutes after 11 the hands of the
clock automatically click into place by
the action of the magnet and the little
trdin of wheels attached to it. Thus the
Washington time ball becomes at once
the authority for all clocks and an in-
fallible adjuster. The statehouse clock
is wound and regulated weekly by an
expert chronometer maker, who sets his
own watch by’ Washington communicat-
ed' time and carries it immediately to
Indepencbnce hall. Many large manu-
facturers and business places where it
is necessary on account of the number of
men employed to have strictly conscien-
tious time employ a man to wind, keep
in order and regulate their clocks‘the
year round. Clocks kept closely to the
mark in this way are very seldom in
need of extensive repairs, and like intel-
ligently" regulated watches have less
tendency to go wrong.
The Washington observatory clock
runs for years together and has never
varied more than six seconds for any
one year.
It is kept true by continual quadrant
observations on the altitude of the sun
at its meridian. As the earth's.revolu-
tions become slower only by the fraction
of a second in a thousand years it may
be said that-we are unable to take ad-
vantage of the natural means afforded
for absolute‘ time regulation in spite
of the care that has been exercised in
the making of timepi s. For 26,000
years, since the first recorded mention
of any instrument to measure time,-in
Isaiah xxxviii, 8, _ men have been at
work constructing appliances of all de-
scriptions, all of them moré‘ or less
faulty, to tell them when to eat, sleep
and get up again. Is there no one to
invent a fin de siecle watch that shall be
I able to keep up with the earth in point
' of exactituch—Philadelphia Times.
