as the Indian s,whose sluggish blood, min
gled with the Spanish strain, makes the
low class Mexican commonly known as
greasers. He is sheep herder, but he Is a
good citizen. He is a Democrat this year
because his leaders tell him that New Mex
leo must be Democratic TO become state.
He may be Republican next year if a ma
tive politician talks to him about the rela-
tion Of the tariff and wool and wages about
clipping time. But that will depend on the
don, for he always votes as he is told by
the don who rules or the don who wants to
rule the county. He pays his taxes regu-
larry on his mud house and garden and
flock of sheep. 1t isn't much, for up to
200 a Mexcan's property is exempt from
taxation. But whatever the assessor tig
ures his superfluous wealth to be he pays
the levy thereupon cheerfully. 1t may be 81
or g or in an exceedingly active political
year s..
His answer to all questions is, mo Eng
fish, " but he can scrawl his name in Span
ish, and there is story connected with this
Joses signature He was once teacher.
To be sure, he could not read beyond the
primer, but that was no reason powerful
man like he could not make his pupils
learn. He could not write, but why should
not an apt teacher learn from his pupils:
So he got an appointment from the Next
can county commissioner for a winter
school while there was no herding to be
done and the sheep were in the corral fat
tening for riutton. He took the school for
two months. The first month he had SC
many fights with his grownup pupils that
he couldn't do much teachivg or learning,
and when he drew his salary he had to re-
celpt for it with his customary cross.
The next month being peaceable, he &C
qnired the art of signing his name.
He is now director of his school dis
trict and anxious for all the youth of the
county to have as good an education as he.

Dog Friendship.

A pretty story of dog friendship comes
from across the water. A small terrier ac-
companied his master on n visit to il coun-
try house, where it soon received very
rough handling from one of the house
dogs, being rescued indeed just in time
to escape total destruction. The next day
the little dog was missed, and all search
for him for two days was unavailing. AT
the end of that time, however, he reap
peared in the stable yard in company
with big retriever which belonged to his
master. The moment the retriever mes
the house dog that had maltreated the lit
tie terrier he flew at him savagely and Sc
verely fought him. There Was no doubt
that the small dog lad journeyed to the
home kennels and persuaded in dog Ian
guage his big friend to return with him
and avenge his wrongs.-Ncw York Times

As he stood bowling us out he wore in his

had been required to give him with her

No doubt Mr.. So-and-so enjoyed himself,
but except for the girls who called him
