very %uninviting looking cakes, tarts and
pies. The baby is stowed away in a box
under the stand, where he seems to be very
contented. 1t noon the woman takes the
dinner to her husband, She, with the
children and her husband, sit down wher-
ever they happen to be and spread out their
dinner. often it is on the pavement. The
meal will consist of ~frijoles kidney beansl
cooked with an abundance of chilli Cred
peppers), t~ortillas "a thin pancake of ma
tive cornmeal which the women grind them
selves with two stones), and a pitcher Ct
pulque, the common liquor. It is the fer
mented juice Of the cactus and is the uni
versal drink. They give it to their children
from the baby to the oldest. The pulque
shops are numerous.

their bright ColOred blankets around them.
The women of this class never wear hats.
They have their "rebozo," or shawl, around
them always, and if it is cold they draw
it over their heads. They are usually
barefCoted.
Often several women will sit in a group
gossiping and enjoying their cigarettes with
their babies in their arms. 1t is common
to see a man and woman walking together,
either or both smoking. Often the woman
and not the man. Men, women and children
all smoke.
There are dozens of little stands in the
Alameda and along the streets where one
can buy fruit, cakes and candies. Other
more ambitious vendors carry trays around
on their heads, crying out their various
wares. 1t is as common to see women and
little girls selling newspapers as to see
men and boys. There are hundreds Of
persons of all sizes and sexes that peddle
lottery tickets on the streets. The MeXi-
cans are a great people to be always eat
ing some little trihe, and no matter IL
the person has no shoes and the clothes
are more patches than whole cloth, they
stop at a stand and buy "un centavos'' OF
"dulce."
From childhood the men are trained for
strength in their necks and backs by hav-
ing stones strapped on them. When grown
it is amazing to see the. strength they pos
sess. One man will carry enough for a
wagon load. The "cargadOr" Of a furniture
house will carry a large-sized refrigerator,
a mattress and several other things on his
back at one time, and seem to enjoy it.
They support these immense loads by means
OF a strap which passes over their fore
heads and practically all the weight hangs
from the head.
On Sundays and Thursdays the band plays
in the lameda. On Sundays the poems
are not allowed there between the hours CT
10 and 1 o'clock. Then il is that canvas
Is stretched for a long promenade, with
awnings over it, and rows of chairs at each
side, Crowds don their best attire, the
women often dressed deliberately in silks
and satins-some as for evening-and prom
enade in the Alameda. This is the only
time when the plaza is not thronged with
poems, and consequently the only time when
one sees the better class of Mexicans. Some
of the women are very beautiful. They
are very fond Of bright colors. Even tiny
babies will be dressed in red and yellow.
Children of 2 or 8 will wear dresses OF
bright colOred silks made after the fashion
Of women. Thus the scene presented on
Sundays is in marked contrast to that seen
on a week day.

Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-28

CurrespondenceD-The City of
- Mexico is nearly 1000 miles
IH6TI further south than Omaha. 1t
- Is about four times as large and
seven times as high, being nearly 5000 feet
above the sea level. 1t has seen hundreds
OF years of history to Omaha's tens. Yet
in many ways Omaha excels. While Mex
leo has many large, fine stores, they are
not as up-to-date as those of Omaha.
After tramping around for half a day
in search Of some such simple articles as
a ruling pen or Decent crash for kitchen
towels, IL would be a great comfort to step
into some OF the stores at home and find
just what you want.
The City of Mexico, however, Is indeed
a city. With a population of over 100000,
many miles of electric car lines, its bril-
liantly lighted streets. 1t would compare
favOrably with any city of its size in the
United States. Viewed from an aesthetic
standpoint, there is but one thing lacking
to make 1t a very beautiful city. Indeed,
one cannot say that 1t is not beautiful,
with its bread, clean, asphalt streets, its
beautiful buildings, many of adobe, white
or tinted in various shades; its hundreds
Of church spires that point upward toward
the blue, blue sky. And on every side the
towering mountains, some sn~ow-capped,
keeping guard over the city.
Yet the first thing one misses Is the
beautiful eXpanse OF Gods green and the
lovely fowers-the messengers Of Cod
that are so common in the home land and
which one expects to find In abundance
here In the tropics. Aside from a few
very small parks, where one is never al
lowed on the grass, one never sees a green
thing from the streets of Mexico.
Houses, which are never more than three
stories high, are built straight up from the
street, with never a porch or a foot OF
lawn. The nearest approach TO a porch
is a balcony on the second floor, which Is
built out a foot or two over the street.
The windows on the first floor OF the old
houses are always protected by iron graf
lngs, like a prison, which Is a relic OF the
necessity of early days.
The amily very seldom lives on the first
floor, that is reserved for the servants and
animals, One enters the house from the
street through a great door onto the
patio or court. This is paved and often
made very pretty with ported palms, etc.
The carriages drive right into this part
Of the house. To the back of the patio
are the stables and servants quarters.
From the patio a broad stairway leads to
the second floor, where are all the living
rooms. These are all arranged around the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-28

open patio and in the best houses are very
pleasant. Sometimes there will be a beau
tiful garden back of the house inclosed
by a high stone wall.
The common people, ur "peons'-of which
class there are so many-live in very differ
ent homes from the ones described. Their
homes are dark, damp and cheerless, with
many in one small room. They sleep
there, but spend but little time there dur
ing the day. The father goes to his work
very early in the morning. Mexico is
known as a country Of no breakfasts. They
never eat more than a piece Of bread and a
cup Of coffee. The mother straps the little
one on her back with her "rebozo' and
goes to her work, too. often she has a
little stand in the plaza where she sells
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-28

Living in such a manner as this, with
such poor, cherries homes, it is little
wonder that one sees the plazas always
thronged by the poems. 1t is a picturesque
sight that one sees in the Alameda (plaza).
The men, in huge sombrerCs, wear a sort
of blouse, hanging loose in the back and
drawn around to the front and tied in a
knot; trousers which are made very tight
down to the ankle, and from there flare
out into a bell-shaped piece which is long
enough to drag on the ground. These
trousers are often made of two kinds of
cloth and tucked in clusters of small tucks
down each side. On their feet are sandals
that is, IL they are not barefooted, which is
often the case. In the morning and even
ing, when il is cold, they always have

A Card From the Benevolent Society
Of Ardmore.

Editor Ardmoreite.
In our issue of yesterday appears
an article calling attention TO the con
dition of the Newsome family under
the head of "Sorely in Need of Help. -
In which the writer quotes a physi-
clan as saying. They need clotn.ng.
wood. and they need everything and
ends with this paragraph: III the
Christian people of Ardmore I would
call and leave them anything-provis.
ions, clothing or fuel-they would do
kind act-a Christian act"
The article was evidently written
without any knowledge of the circum.
stances, and while we are under many
obligations to the Ardmoreite for as
sistance through its columns. and
from the proprietor Mr.. Suggs, still
we cannot allow such an article as
appeared yesterday to go uncorrected
1t reflects upon quite a number of

lily under their care since early I'm

known TO us by them has been sup
piled. We bought them a tent. a stove.
and have supplied them in wood-two
loads last week-groceries and delica-
cles. eXpending over $35 out
OF our treasury for them. They have
been and are now in terrible condi.
ton on account of sickness and have
our sympathy, but we have exerted
ourselves, with ,ne aid of the Rev. G..

church, and his wIIe, to alleviate their
sufferings. Not a day passes but some
