pawnshops and Banks.

The original pawnshop is difficult to
locate. Early historians were inter
ested in other lines, and only when the
royal crown was placed in pawn or
the king took steps to curb the GU
pidity OF the hated money lender was
the subject of pawns and pledges
mentioned. Moreover, the history of
pawnbroking is so interviewer with
that of usury and banking that its
complete separation from these sub
jects is, for time at least, an impossi-
bility. From earliest times and with
all peoples the system of pledging eff
fects as security for advances in money
has existed in some form. In this early
period all those who accepted pledges
as security for loans were not pawn
brokers in the sense that we to-day use
the term. OF the antiquity of pawn
broking we are assured, but are with
out clew as to what might have been
its process of metamorphosis from the
| time of the Jewish law to that of the
Roman. It's analogy to banking, the
fact that the pawnbroIers later be-
came bankers, would lead to the con
clusion that private pawnbrokers ex,
listed long before the state took cog
nizance of the business. 1t seems prob
| able that the constant taking of ar
ticles in pledge, which of necessity de,
manded their safekeeping to secure
the repayment of the loan, suggested
the like deposit of money and valua
bles. In this case the progenitor of the
present banking system was original
ly a pawnshop, instead of bank
which later took up the pawn business

Mexico. when. armed with bows, battle
axes and spears, and led by their cele-
brated chieftain, Banderas, they put
ND a noble fight, although finally over
come. They made another revolution
ary attempt in 1871, and defended their
mountain Businesses with rare valor,
and for years held the Mexican troops
at bay. Order was finally restored by
a compromise. The present conflict
will be still more sanguinary; because
to-day the Indians are well armed. The
, bows and battle axes have been sup
planted by winchester repeating rifles
and field guns.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is an au-
thority on everything pertaining to In
dian and border warfare, states that
when few years ago a company began
to build a railroad south from Benson,
Ariz.. to Nogales and Hermosillo, the
capital of the state of Sonora, and
still further south to Guaymas, on the
Gulf OF Mexico, the Yaquis f1ocked to
the region along the line of the road
and offered their labor which, of course,
was well paid for. With the money
thus obtained they purchased rifles OF
the latest patterns and vast stores OF
ammunition. Many of them continued
70 work along the road, and thus kept
up the supply of funds for the purchase
of munitions OF war.

lums. A refugee having sought safety
among them will never be surrendered.
DR.. Magee found them faithfully at
tached to their native forms of worship,
and by no means entirely submissive
to the priests. Among themselves they
have their ancestral ceremonial rights
of birth, marriage and sculpture, as
well as feasts and festivals. They have
a government of their own, and crave
independence. They are also a hos.
pitable race. The men are kind to
their women and children, and the
women WELD great influence. About
their bravery there is no question. The
women do some fine weaving in cotton
and the fiber of the agava.
The men are employed as herders,
farmers and miners, and do their work
well. They know the value of dollar
quite as well as white traders, and can
drive shrewd bargain. Their houses
are matched huts with earthen floors.
usually standing in the midst of small
bean patches. There is no doubt that
the Yaquis of to-day are the remnants
of brave and partially civilized peo-
pie whom the Spaniards found in Mex
| leo. They have never been conquered,
and have never forgiven their Spanish
enemies, nor their descendants. Their
military organization is almost perfect,
| consisting as it does of companies, regi-
ments and divisions.
A gentleman who recently returned
! from a trip through Sonora told the
writer that he could not find a more
| appropriate designation for the YaQuis
than that of the Irish of America"
Their love of country, he says, is as pure
as that of the Irish peasant Their
bravery as unquestioned as that of the
noblest Irish patriot. By force of num-
bers and power of military equipment
they have been robbed of the tribular
sovereignty over their native soil, but
in sentiment they are Yaquis and no
amount of legislation will make them
MeXicans. They have been prosecuted
by alien priests and slaughtered by
hireling troops, but still remain faith
full to the religion of their fathers. A
people like that, he thinks, deserve en-
couragement rather than humiliation.

a great diversity of opinion. Some es-
innate the strength of the nation in
Sonora at $4,000, others at 10000. Fiji
teen thousand is probably the right
figure. In 1920 the Yaquis numbered
| 10000, but thousands were killed in
| their wars with Mexico and thousands
ofsothers were degraded into poems.
On the other hand, the government of
Mexico has sacrificed $4,000 soldiers and
many millions of dollars in fruitless
endeavors to subdue the Indians and
restore permanent peace. How many
of the $4,000 remaining Yaquis are now
capable of bearing arms cannot be told
with any degree of accuracy, but 5000
might be taken as a conservative esti-
mate. And 5000 mountain men fight
ing in a mountainous country for home
and liberty is a mighty host. That
every soldier will readily concede.

cans and has never been surveyed by
the government engineers. There are
traditions of vast mineral wealth in
this unexplored region, and one belief
current in Mexico is that the Yaqui
country holds the ruins of an ancient
and splendid capital. This city, ac-
cording to tradition, occupies a noun
tain height not to be approached save
by trails which the Yaquis jealousy
guard against intrusion.

Gus matter. A wind that blows 40 miles

weather bureau calls 60 miles a gale.
So, if you run boat 40 miles an hour
through a stationary atmosphere you
are bound to stir up quite breeze for
yourself, and if you should be runaing
into 3O-knOt wind you would have the
stiffest kind of gale blowing about
your decks. In other words, half the
time man couldn't work unprotected
on the deck. Unless he is behind

like thistle down and even if he could
stick TO the ship he couldn't breathe.

For the sixth time since their coun-

ian race the Yaqui Indians of Mexico
are now battling for their lands,
and their homes, and national in
dependence. No nation or tribe of
aborigines on the American CONT

history of Indian revolts it is not sur

eminent is prepared to dispatch 10000
troops to the north to subdue the re-
bellious Yaquis.
The present war must terminate
either In annihilation or in virtual in
dependence. Military authorities, IA
'miliar with the strength and fighting
capabilities Of both sides, are confident
that the MeXicans will win, but not
without terrible sacrifices; and that,
even after their defeat, the Indians
will keep up a guerrilla warfare for
years to come. The struggle will prob

That they have learned to use the
white mans weapons is proven by the
fact that since the beginning of the
present revolt, or within two months,
over a hundred miners and as many
soldiers have been shot by the rebel
ious Indians. Gen. Miles has ex-
pressed the opinion that this war will
not be over for months, and may drift
into years.
At ordinary times the Yaquis are re-
served and exclusive rather than hos

lagos at the approach of strangers,
leaving behind them nothing that can
give aid or comfort to the invaders.
When attempts are made to penetrate
their mountain retreats they occasion
