If not yet, certainly in the not distant future the Middle Western American will wake up to the fact that Ameri can history Is his In as rich n sense us any easterner or southerner may claim. The rapidly growing popularity of historical pageants In the Middle West Is a symptom that the awakening is nt hand. Community after community is presenting the drama of the settle ment of tho West to Its people, the elders rejoicing in tho recollections aroused by the pictures of the past, the youth getting a new understand ing of the tales of pioneer days heard from their fathers. A unique feature of such a pageant wns Inaugurated in Shenandoah, Iowa, recently, when for a day automobiles were banished from the streets, only horse-drnwn vehicles being allowed, while the citizens everywhere searched their attics and storage for old garments and revived tho costumes of the past. Everybody tool; part in the celebritlon, nnd when tho pageant came off seutlng was Im possible for the crowd. It Is In fact the great value of pageantry' that It represents participation by groups representative of the whole commun ity, even In lar,e cities. The year 10122 Is marked by nn un usually Interesting pageant event, or rather a pair of them. When Mexico threw olT the Spanish yoke, n hundred j ears ago, tho new government in vited Into Its territories trado from the United States, which before that time bad boon rigidly restricted by tho Spanish government, which was fearful of American encroachment. One of tho first consequences was tho opening of tho Santa Fo trail, tho Elizabeth's Coaches Aroused Envy. In tho end tho husbands capitulated, "and after a while divers great ltdles, with as great Jealousy of tho queen's displeasure nmdo them conches, and v rid them up and downo tho countries to tho grent admiration of all beholders." 8afety.

Pack mules, in 18212, broke their way with their mer chandise. It is tho centennial of this event which Is to be celebrated in Santn Fe, nt Its September Ilostu this fall, a celebration which is likely to pro-e one of the most interesting over put on In tho west. Fitting In with the Santa Fe cele bration, like a mated shoe, is the pageant bulnjr prepared by tho Ak-Sar-Hon of Omaha ,to bo given In their city the 18th and 1Mb of Sep tember. This is to celebrate tho ex pedition of Coronndo Into Quivera, tho first advent of white men Into the Missouri Valley. The subject Is fitting In a double senM), for it repre sents the Spanish penetration, hack In the Kith century, eastward Into the plains country, Just as the trail cen tenary represents the beginning of the American movement westward. And again there Is a dramatic prnpiloty In the fact that Coromido on part of his course actually followed so Colo nel Twltchell of Santa Fe stare- the route of what was later to be come the gteat trail.

The Ak-Sar-Uen pageant, entitled "Coronndo in Quivera," will occupy two evenings. The first evening, Sep tember 18th, will deplclt tho departure of the army of Coronndo from tho now ruined and abandoned I'uehlo of l'ecos, about thirty miles east of Santa Fe. This Pueblo wns the largest In New Mexico at the time rf the conquest, but Its cacique, hearing of tho prowess of the Spaniards and of their terrible weapons nnd animals, thought dis simulation better tbnn reslstnnce. Accordingly, with great show of friend ship, ho InvIU 1 Coromido to Ids town ; there the Spaniards were feasted, and there they were told talcs of the golden land of Quivera and its mag nificent monarch Tatarrax, far to the east. The device wm one used by Indian nntlpns in both North nnd South America to get rid of unwel come guests, nnd generally they suc ceeded, for the Spaniards were full of credulity. Certainly njrenado took tho bait. At Pecos there were a couple of plains Indians, either captives or guests, the one called by tho Spaniards "the Turk" from his fancied resem blance to n Moor, the other named Ysopete. It Is bupposed that these Indians wero Wichita or Pawnee, of tho Cnddoan stock. Tho cacique of Pecos cleverly used these men to In llamo the Imagination of tho Conquls tadores. Their talcs and the display of a gold trinket or two wero suffi cient, and the Spaniards set forth. Urlelly, tills Is the plot of the page ant for the first evening. Tho scene, three hundred feet across the front and thirty feet high, will represent the Pueblo of Pecos, Hanked on either side by tho Spanish camp mil a camp of tepees representing visiting Indians from tho Grent Plains. There will be an Indian dance, typifying tho native life of the Ked Man. Then the Crier of Pecos, In fantastic costume, will tell of tho coming of tho wonderful race of strangers, thunder-breathing. The Spanish army will enter, Invited by tho Cacique. There will ho gorge ous dances of entertainment, each side, Spanish and Indian, vying with tho other In the splendor of Its shows, Aztecs, Moors, Spanish Wnniors and women, masked Pueblo people, etc. Olfts will bo interchanged, aniTtlio Spaniards will discover the gold. cleverly offered by tho Cacique's peo- Described A teacher In English in one of our colleges describes a money-lender ns follows: "He serves you In the pres ent tense, lends in tho conditional mood, keeps you in tho subjective, nnd ruins you In tho future."

Then will follow th exclttmoni of Uie dramatic sceno, in which tha talo of Quivera is unfolded. Tho Turk and Ysopete will nppenr, and with trumpets and banners thp Span ish troop will march forth on its wild quest, to the great chorus, "Hearts of tho Conqulstadores," a feature of the music written for the pngeant by Henry Purmort Knmcs, formerly of Omaha, now of Chicago. Immediately the temper of the sceno will chnngoj from a great festival of entertainment It will turn to a carnival of vindictive hate and tho malleloi i Joy of the In dians In the success of their ruse. There will be a war dance a genuine one by native Indians; a meteoric shower In the distance wIlU foretell disaster to the Spaniards; the cacique will deliver ids curse upon them a tremendous baritone solo; and the first night's performance will end with a great chorlc nppeal to the Clods of Destruction to 'ill upon the depart ing strangers. The second evening of the pageant, September ll)th, will lepresent the army of Coromido in the Missouri Valley, In too fubulous Quivera. The pageant again opens with an Indian dance, done by native Plain Indiana. Following this comes a fantasia, an lmaginatle representation of Tatar rax and Ids people, not as actually was to disclose them but us vlsloned In the drama of the Spaniards. The scene will represent the dancing women of Quivera, win lug boughs fioni the fabled tree with Its pendu lous bells of MIor and gold. It will show the ornate symbollcd barge of the monarch, bearing .atari ax, "mon arch of dreams," and his prophet, who will foretell the near approach of the new order of things. Then It will fade, as a dream fades, and In the Hstauce tl.e army of Coronndo will be seen approaching. The burning of a distant 'Village, after a brief combat, will be emblem atic of the adventuies of the Journey. The Spaniards will enter, led by "the Turk." Then will follow the drama of tho revealment, when Coionado and his followers discover that they have been deliberately misled, In the hope as "the Turk" boasts that they will perish In the wilds. For this treachery "the Tuik" (who, after all, was a hero of the Indian race) was executed, ere tho disillusioned Span lards turned back on their rour.se. Hut in Coronado's report of the coun tries discovered, made to the King uf Spain, lie dldvplcture the prairle-land as rich and fertile, capable of sup porting many cattle and growing rich vineyards. For him it was no "gieat American desert," as long it seemed to the first explorer from the east. It is therefore with especial propriety that In the pageant of "Coionado in Quivera," following his first disillusion ment, Coronado should be represented as foreseeing the great future of the prairie country, his Quivera. The pageant closes with this vis Ion of the future as foreseen by Coro nndo, In a kind of apocalypse. First the trappers and traders and eaily explorers pass In view, with their packs and dogs and ponies. Next tho cowboy days are Indicated, and after them the farming settlers with their ox-teams and prairie schooners. The Indian wars are indicated by soldiers and mounted Indian warriors, who had first seen horses when the troop of Coronado wound over their limiting grounds. A chorus, "Hall to the City" greets a symbolic representation of the city of Omaha, "The Gate of the Prairies" emblematic of the ilunl and full white man's occupation, acclaim ed by rainbow dancers, emblems of promise, for after all there Is no region on earth with such conscious promise as is ours. Hut this Is not all. Coronado's quest was disappointed in Its actual Tatnrrax, but If It be viewed as a quest of the Ideal through the cen turies It is coming to n kind of reali zation In tho Pageant movement and in such pageant-fosering organiza tions ns Ak-Sar-Hen Itself, with King Ak-Snr-Hen as the monarch of tho new dynasty. Tho pageant, therefore, will show, before the grand finale, the emissaries of this new "monarch of dreams," come to receive their commission from the past, from Coro nado nnd from Tatnrrax and fru.n all the wealth of Nebraska's great tradition. At the close, the whole will be mnssed in a great spectacle, as it were, telescoping the centuries in one brilliant vision. There are many features dances, choruses, songs, spectacle, which will appear In the two-evening pageant that cannot he noled In this brief ac count. Mention bhould be made, how ever, of the "Prairie Vesper," to bo given by some six hundred Omaha school children as a sort of a curtain- raiser (the real curtain Is to bo the evening sky) on each evening. Tim idea of it Is to give the opon-nlr spirit of tho prairie west In symbolic form, with chant and motion. For back of tho will to man, back of the red man, under and around us all, Is the great house of llfo which Is the land Itself and Its arching skies. Koreans Refuse Hnlr-Cuts.
