She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward.

native and known to Americans as the
blanket Mexican. In the beautiful
plaZas or parks at night we often hear
concerts, and during these hours the
whole population of the city seems
astir. l have not the space here to tell
of a native drink called pulQue. Suffice
to say that a glass of 1t is a cross be-
tween glass of milk and a bottle of
mucilage. but the native hangs over it
like an American girl over an ice cream
soda. And in this connection | might
also add that the Mexican senorita can
hold her own with her American sisters
in the matter of making the goo-goo
eye.
The wealthy ranchero or farmer
from the outlying districts who comes
to the capital to hit up for a good time
is an interesting personality. When
you find a Mexican with large, cow
choking wad, and he decides to sep
arate himself from some of his money,
he goes about It after the manner of a
sailor and cuts things loose with a
royal will. To have grade crossing

to fiirt with sudden death, and the
wise stranger will always let the native
have the right of way.

The republic of Mexico"
So sang some poetic enthusiast, and
strange indeed would be the nature of
one who would not be impressed and
fascinated by this remarkable repub-
lie and it's interesting people. In go
ing over the country the traveller is
thrilled with it's wealth of antiquities,
its wonderful gifts of nature, its ro-
mantle history running back to dim
and shadowy past. and its vast ruins
which tell of a high state of civiliza-
ton that existed here long before CO.
lumbus had his first glimpse of the
new world.
Cortez invaded Mexico only 81 years
after America was discovered, and yet
he found a people quite proficient in
stone carving and other works of art.
1t has been said that Mexico is as old
as Egypt. However that may be, one
finds here marks of races long extinct
which challenge the admiration of the
visitor. We arrived here yesterday
and are now holding our business ses-
sions, devoting the odd time to seeing
some of the interesting things which
present themselves on every side.
A stroll about the streets marked
frequently by magnificent structures
built hundreds of years ago. and some
feeble attempts on our part to converse
in Mexican with the natives, this even
