The farmers in some sections of this
county have formed organizations for the
enforcement of the law against lrespassers.
Few realize how much the farmers suffer
from the damage done by inconsiderate
hunters, who roam through the fields and
rample under foot anything that happens
in their way. There are hunters ignorant
enough to imagine that running through a
field of growing young wheat does no in
jury to the crop. But he always learns
better when the farmer catches him by the
back of The neck.

That the Mexicans are an artistic
people no one who lives long among
them can deny. In music they excel,
and all that is needed to make Mexico
take first place among musical ma
tions is the wider diffusion of technical
musical education. The veriest gamin
can catch at once novel air, and bits
from the operas are everywhere heard
from the most ignorant of the lower
classes. Not only are the Mexicans q
musical people. but they are lovers of
art in all its forms. and their manners
are pleasing, whether you take the
most polished and travelled citizen or
the humblest peon. Daily intercourse
with educated Mexicans has charm
about it that is delightful to northern
er;they are polite, not from affection, but
because they are trained to be SO from
their youth, and also because they arc
DESTROYS of pleasing, being by nature
kindly and warm-hearted Well might
tho United States copy the manners
which the Mexicans have for everyday
use. as between parents and children,
masters and servants, and between the
poorest and the poor, who sometimes
seem to possess little else but their
cour teous ways The Mexicans are the
Italians of this continent; they have
been kept to the rearward of richer and
more fortunate nations by their long
and disastrous civil wars. Give the
poor people of this country educational
privileges for twenty years and they
will come up as the Italians have done
since Italy became one country for all
her children.
One thing a foreigner in Mexico
comes to notice is the decided intel
lectual bent Of the youth of the land.
Mexicans have great facilities in &C
quiring languages. and almost every
lad in the higher schools knows French
and reads it as we'll as he does Spanish.
They take up English with enthusiasm
and master its abominable photography
and difficult pronunciation by dint OF
downright hard work. It is difficult
for us. trained in the Anglo-Saxon
speech. to understand how very hard
our tongue is to acquire in the case OF
Spanish or Italian speaking person.
1t Is impossible to know how an English
word is pronounced from its spelling,
and. although our grammar is COM
rof
cult and our unwritten rules for the ar.
rangement of words are tremendous
obstacles, only to be overcome by siren.
