The Women Are the Workers in the West
Indies.
On market day in the West Indies
thousands of peasant women and girls
can be seen walking along the roads to
the town from their palm matched huts
in the mountains and woods. They
carry on their heads immense loads of
bananas oranges, yams. plantains,
brown sugar or tobacco, stepping along
at the rate of four miles an hour with
the gait of princess.
Constant carrying of heavy loads
gives them a splendid carriage. They
will walk forty miles to market to sell
thirty cents worth of produce. Often
they could sell the same stuff for bet
ter price at their homes, but they enjoy
the merry company on the road and
the fun and gossip of the market place

jaunt. Most people think such a tramp

tain tracks, fording swift rivers, tug
ging fractions mules in the way that
they should go, these women never let
their loads fall. They could dance
jig without dropping them.
Meanwhile the men folk-who have
not even taken the trouble to sow or
harvest the crops, much less carry
them to market-are sleeping in the
palm matched hut or lying down in
the yam patch outside and smoking the
strong native tobacco.
"On my estate" said coffee planter
to an American friend, Il employ about
600 people in the busy seasons, besides
200 or 300 children. The women out
number the men by more than two to
one, and do far better work. though
they are only paid eighteen cents
day, as compared with the mems TWEEN
ty-four cents. The difference in wages
is most unfair. but it is regulated by an

pected when the kettle is returned a
small portion of the food that has been
cooked in it will be left In the bottom.
Should this custom be disregarded by
anyone, that person would never be

must always know what has been
cooked in her kettle. A white woman
on one occasion returned a secured
kettle, intending to teach q lesson in
cleanliness, but her act became the
talk of the camp, as fresh example
of the meanness of the whites.

one could tell but little of 1t now.
Much of this, no doubt, was exaggera-
ton, this talk of a graveyard, of a
doubled street, of murders, of the
legal killings which served as arrests,
of the lynchings which once passed as
justice. There was a crude story of
the first court ever held in Ellisville,
but of course it was mere libel to say
that it was held in the livery barn.
Humor said that the trial was over
the case of a negro, or Mexican, or
Indian, who had been charged with
murder, and who was himself killed
in an attempt at lynching, by whose
hand it was never known. These
things were remembered or talked
about by but very few. these the old
timers, the settlers of two years ago.
Somewhere to the north of the town,
and in the center of what was de-
clared by some persons to be the old

was a granite shaft, supposed to have
been erected with money contributed
by cattlemen at the request of Mrs.

monument, aud brought back word
that it had cut upon its face singular
inscription, namely:
