man had his wife and children with him, and when not married he usually had a woman with him. The wages were IS 2-3 cents a day, but the soldier received only 12h cents of his dues. This was paid him every evening. As many as four heavy government wag- ons drawn by six mules each, loaded with nothing but copper money to pay off the soldiers, go along. This pay ment of one bit day must feed the soldier and his company if he has any with him. Women and children. cats and dogs, chickens and parrots all so along with the lower classes of the Mexican soldiers. Vehicles of all sorts are loaded with plundsr so as to make the camp as homel.ke as possible.
 In the morning everything is packed, camping place determined upon for the night, then begins the hurry of the women to reach that point, pick up vegetables and various supplies on the road, the woman being treasurer for her husband, and butler too. By the time the soldiers get into camp that night. the tent is up and supper ready. These women are dressed In a short chemisa with the sleeves off above the elbow, sort of turban scarf wound about the head. crossed in front over the breast and the ends thrown over the shoulders. The greater number are barefooted. The women will follow their husbands throughout their camp life, caring for them when sick or wounded with pa tience most serene. They will carry their babies miles upon their backs with enough plunder in their arms to weight down strong men. The wife provides for husband and his family from the "blt" allowance from the gov ernment and usually has a few pen nies left at night so that her husband may have the sweet pleasure of gamb- ling. When coin runs low the men will cut pennies into halves and tarte- with half pennies. With all her devotion if her husband falls in battle or passes away by sickness the wife seldom Srieves, and even before the burial ar rangements are often made to become the wife and helpmeet of some soldier in need of wife
 These are the hot tamale" people. indolent, dreamy, cruel. treach- erous, yet withal gentle and gay. This order of soldiery is rapidly passing away The recent trouble wi.h the
 Yaqui Indians showed only small amount of the peon soldiery wherein the women follow. President Diaz IS thoroughly alive to all the present inn provements, and his soldiers in the fu- ture Will be equipped with the best.

A MATTER OF TASTE.

n q country charge a young minis CT IVES settled where his house was a 1CaE way from the church. He was fond cf hors-s, and not only drove bout tEo district tandem fashion dur ing the week. but shocked some of his conservative people by driving tandem also to and from church on Sunday. One of his elders went into the vestry at the close of the service on Sunday to remonstrate with him.
 Why said the minister, what is there wrong in driving them tandem more than driving them abreast?"
 Tt disna look weel on the Sabbath, '' replied the elder.
 Look. What about the look?' 3 said the minister. It's a mere matter of taste"
 But" persisted the elder, there's something even in the look O a thing. Now, when your gi'in the benediction ye haud up your hand so,'' and the el- der imrnitated the minister's gesture with outspread and uplifted hands But suppose ye put yer thumb to yer nose and spread out yer hands tandem fashion in front-this way-wad there not be a guid deal in the look O that?

MEXICAN ARMY LIFE
Improve ments in the Service
 Camps of Ten Years Ago.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 3.-Soldiery in old Mexico has ever been little else than a sham. During the last ten years, under the direct supervision of Presi- dent Diaz, number of Improvements have come about in the army. The of 1icers are being trained to stay with their men in case of an engagement It has been customary to advance with the common soldier until within dan ger and then the officers would utter great words of encouragement, telling the soldiers to honor their native land; then they would seek place of safety while the battle was fought
 Another feature peculiar to the Mexi- can soldier, and the Spanish soldier in general, is the gun is seldom ever fired from the shoulder position, as Ameri- cans hold it, but the weapon is held as low as the hips in both hands and dis charged while in that position. There are some good marksmen among them, but the result sACwn in the Mexican war was nc' as satisfactory as the gov Sromcrt would have had it. The Mex ica1 .iicr is as brave as any soldier - tAe Torrance people, but he needs officers and military training to be eff ficient.
 Ten years ago. when the army camp ed for the night, it looked like q 'Gypsv outfit. The men were clothed in brown linen or flannel, having leather boots and a slick leather cap. Each married

number is as great as reported. Since the new treaty between Mexico and China went into effect several months ago many thousand Chinese lave ar rived in Mexico direct from China. Most of them are located in Sonora and oth- CT Pacific coast states of Mexico. It would be possible for a force of Chin ese numbering 9,OOO men or more to be quickly organized in this country. It is the opinion in federal official circles here that the Chinese in Mexico who are now making their way toward the United States border are doing so for the purpose of entering this country in order that they may get arrested and frse transportation given them back to China for violation of the exclusion act. The turbulent condition of affairs in their native country las made many of them anxious to return home, and they are well aware that the United States can be made to give them a free trip to san Francisco and across the Pacific. There has been a big increase in the number of Chinese arrested on the Rio Grande border for violation of the exclusion act since the trouble in China arose.
