The annual meeting Of the territor-

day. There was a brief session of the
association in the morning, but the
principal meeting was held in the az

the association are not usually of a
very serious character. but toward the
close Of the meeting yesterday a good
deal OF seriousness was injected into
the proceedings.

SERVANTS IN SOUTH AMERICA
Trials of the Gringo Who Keeps House
Colombia.

The American woman at home thinks
her help is sore trial, but when she
goes down to South America and has
tC hire natives she begins to wonder
why she ever grumbled about the SER
want problem at home.
"Espiritu Santa" she calls.

Espriitu Santa was cook in the in
terror CT Colombia. Her stupidity was
characteristic of all her kind.
Patiently and carefully the Ameri-
can mistress went over the list again
and again. until she thought the wo-
man could not fail to understand. Es-
piritu Santa left the room, protesting
that she could not possibly forget any
thing. only to return the next minute
and ask:
Don't you want me to get any
meat. sonora?
Espiritu Santa was cook in the in
piazza one morning and said she had
heard that a servant was wanted. The
mistress Of the house was a New Yorl
woman who had newly arrived in a. Co
lombian town. She had not been able
to get a servant for love or money
and had been obliged TO so to thu
market every morning to buy the
days provisions.
There she was jostled and insulted
, by the Indian peasants who brought
in meat and vegetables from the sur
rounding country. Sometimes thes,

She would crush giant cockroaches,
four inches long, with her bare feet,
and leave their mangled corpses adher-
ing to the polished floor of the dining
room. If she wanted to find out
whether the soup was hot, she invar-
iably put her finger in it.
She would annoint her frizzy locks
with cccoanut oil with her left hand
while her right hand was preparing
the dinner. She always smoked eli
gars while cooking.
These were her mere delicate habits
A veil had better be drawn over the
Others.
But why. it may be asked, was she
endured? Simply because she was the
best servant available, and. anyhow,
it was a condescension for a Colom-
bian to work for. despised gringO.
The greatest troubles arose over
dinner. Sometimes fruit was served
after soup, and it would come out that
Espiritu had forgotten to provide the
rest of the meal.
On other occasions she vanished af-
ter serving soup and fish; and Mary
Magdalene, the house cleaner. an
nOunced that she had gone to vespers
at the church and the gringos must
wait until she returned for the re-
mainder of their dinner.
ESpiritu Santa was a good servant
as Colombian servants GO. And the
Colombian servants are not the worst
in Latin America.
All these servants are exceedingly
superstitious. They insist on locking
o. the doors of their rooms at night, even
on the remote country plantations,
where there is no possibility of thieves
prowling about. When they are asked
why they do so, they reply:
ITO keep out the dead people. who
would tickle our toes if they got in"
( But some of them are not sure that
a barred door is a sufficient safe
guard against evil spirits. They put
the foot of the bed against the wall.

ghosts cannot get to their toes to
tickle them.
When a storm breaks over the

which is so frequent and so vivid in
the tropics, the servants Immediately

derstand how to prepare any meat for

will she never eat it. but she even re-
fuses to cook it, saving that it is poi
sonous.
Her grandmOthor ate nothing except
beef and chicken. she contends, and
therefore you had no right to eat
anything else. If contrary to her
counsel, you cook game yourself and
eat it. she goes away into p corner of
the dining room, falls upon her knees
and prays loudly throughout the meal
that you may escape poisoning.

said that he had attended many ban
quets in his time. especially in Chica-
go, where some of the participants did
not drink liquor, nor did they feel like
paying for the liquor of others. In his
opinion those who wanted liquors
should pay for them and he would
therefore offer a resolution that in flu
ture banquets of the association no
provision out of the funds of the asso-
citation should be made for strong
drink.
As the resolution was put the mean
ing of Judge Pinney was somewhat
distorted. 1t was represented that the
resolution was intended to prohibit the
use of liquors at association banquets.
Only four votes were cast for the res
olution and ten against it. After the
vote was taken there was brief de-
bate on sumptuary matters.
The first business of the afternoon
meeting was the offering by Hon.
Marcus A. Smith of a resolution upon
the death last August at st. Louis OF
Hon. Rochester Ford, member of the
association. and one of the most prom
ineat members of the territorial bar.
The resolution recited the excellence
ness as a man. The adoption of the
resolution was preceded by brief tri-
butes by members.
The next business was the election Of
a president to succeed Frank II. Here
ford. According to custom the vice
president succeeds and the custom was
rot departed from. Col. Jerry Millay
was nominated, elected and notified
by telephone Hon. NJ. \. Smith was
elected vice president, Thomas J.

Z. w. Lewis treasurer.

bers of the new executive committee.
John c. HerndOn, J. L. e. Alexander.
Thomas D. Bennett. Robert +. Morri-
son and Selim Franklin. Mr. Hern-
don said he had no idea of the duties
of the members of the executive COM
mittee. but. said he: We Will pledge
ourselves to perform our duties what
ever they are as we'll as our Drede-
cessOrs and beyond that no man ought
to go. Mr.. Herndon said the associa-
tioR ought to be brought into closer
touch with the national association
He said that he had belonged to the
national association ten years: he had
spent s. a year in UNFOLDING the cred
il OF the territorial bar and he had
attended two meetings of the national
association which had cost him some
thing more than s. each. There were
brief addesses by the other members
of the executive committee. They al
COngTa tulated the association in having
secured so excellent a committee.
T. G. Norris said that he had Just

committee on constitution and by

of his associates and to ask that tbs
committee be continued for another
year. It was brought out that the
committee had already been contin-
Ued fer three years. 1t was also
brought out that the association had
no constitution and many of the mem
bers did not think it. had ever had
