DEARLY LOVE THEIR EASE.

Mexican Peasants Have a Chronic
Aversion to Work OF Any ssrt.
The peon, OF peasant. OF Mexico Is
probably the LATEST mortal under the
sun. He seldom leaves his home and
only under the most extraordinary cir
cumstances can he be induced to per
form any labor 1t IL very difficult to
induce one to go to a part OF the re
public where labor is scarce and wages
double that Of his own district. Large
contractors have therefore resorted to
an expedient to secure labor They
often go and engage whole village OF
peasantry from the interior and move
them ALL men, women and children, to
the scene Of their labors The wealthy
ranchman has often to resort to this
expedient to secure laborers to work
his land or attend to his cattle. For
this same reason every ranch OF large
dimensions in Mexico has several small
villages upon It which consist wholly
Of people and their families employed
upon the ranch.
AS TIC meAlCuu pcabuht Is ChiCSso
about money matters, 80 he is careless
about everything he does. Very rarely
has he any interest in his work, and so
it IL usually very badly done. He can
not understand why any one should
want to hurry or to do more than he
actually has to do. II you leave him
alone and expect him to work in your
absence there are ninety-nine chances
out of 100 that you will be mistaken.
In all probability he will sit down and
patiently wait for your return and
smoke the inevitable cigar to pass
away the time.
AS the peasant is with his work, 30
he is with his family and his home
In most cases though he loves them in
his own way, he takes no thought Of
them. The wife has therefore to exert
herself to make both ends meet and
she generally does.

A Curiosity OF the simplon Tunnel
The engineers digging the wonderful
tunnel that runs through the great
Simplon Mountain to connect Switzer-
land with Italy are experiencing great
difficulties because Of the presence of
boiling water in the mountain. The
water comes from the top Of the noun
tain and Is heated almost to boiling
point by the friction and pressure of
it's percolation through the limestone
beds of the mountain. Before the tun-
mel had been dug very far on the Ital-
ian side the heat became so intense
that 1t was impossible to live in it..
The mountain was piped. aud soon nf-
teen thousand gallons Of steaming hot
water were flowing out Of the south
end Of the tunnel every minute OF the
day and night. The immense how was
harnessed and made to drive refriger-
ating plants and cold air blowers. To-
day the temperature Of the tunnel has
been reduced from q height that would
have roasted q man In q minute or
two. and the atmosphere now has tho
pleasant warmth Of June day. Tho
hot water also drives pneumatic drills
and boring machines, 90 that 1t helps
to dig the tunnel as well. When. COM
pleted. the simplon tunnel will be the
biggest In the worid-fourteen miles
long. with cost of nearly one million
dollars a mile.

Jackson KY, June 13.--An annual
number OF correspondents arrived here
yesterday, including magazine writ
ers and artists OF illustrated papers.
They will now find quiet town.
Provost Marshal Longmire has
made no arrests for two nights and
two days. Since he closed TIE 'blind
tigers" there has been no shooting
during the night. The free use OF
weapons In the caIousals around
these places led to reports at times
Of bands of feudists coming into
town to attack the Jail. When
court had to take the noon recess
today earlier than usual because the
next witness was unable to get on
the witness stand 1t was evident
that liquor is still available from
some source.
The feature Of the trial today was
the drift of evidence toward conspi-
racy duplicating county officials and
others and tending to show that Jett
aud White had no such motives 40
the conspirator, but were simply
hired to kill j. b. Marcum, wboI
was the attorney for parties con-
testing the election Of county
officials. The defense during the
afternoon attempted to have the
case continued on account of the ILL
ness of one Of the attorneys for the
defeuse. In both instances judge
Redwine ordered the trial to proceed
Provost Marshal Longmeier report
cd that no arrests we're made during
the night. Lieutenant KinnaId, who
was sent after the missing witness
Henry Eereiman, has returned with
out his man and Deputy Sheriff,

When court opened today Attorney
Neill for the defense filed motion
asking that the Marcum case be con
tinued on the ground that the de-
Tense needed three absent witnesses
to contradict the evidence of Mrs.
Mary Johnson, sister OF the dead
man. Judge Redwine decided that
the trial proceed.
The first witness today was William
Hurst. He was on the stand regard
ing a plot to assassinate Marcum In
which two county officials are impli.
Gated. William Eversole and other
witnesses were also examined as to
the alleged conspiracy.
