Those who have lived among tho
people and know something OF their
struggle for existence are impressed by
the hardness OF their lot and the
chccrfuincss with which they bear Il.
They receive no encouragement to till
the land. and have become quite hope
lcss. Tho Andalubian peasant has .
reputation for laxin-ss. and II ID more
or less deserved. but when supervised
the Spanish workman will do good
work. There Is no doubt the peasant
would bc more energetic In his field
labor were he not ground down by I'm
posts. He Is usually sober. quiet and
kindly. n good husband and father. In
clincd. perhaps, to be too fond OF n
sicsta. and generally for taking life
easily: but he is content with very
small wages. hardly ever drinks. and Is
very good tempered. He II very mod

always strikes the onlookcr that the
Spaniard gets the most enjoyment ou.
of his life that he can. and In way
unknown to the more plodding Eng

does not live half so well as the Eng

tastes meat, though he often cats the
coarser kinds OF fish. Near Xeres the
