INDIAN OF MEXICO Doc11H.

Essentially Man of Peace, He
Wants to BE Let Alone.
The simple minded, patient, docile
Indian of Mexico Is eminently peaceful.
Bountiful nature and perpetual sum.
mer combine to palliate his improvi.
dence. He cannot see the necessity OF
laying up anything for rainy day.
1t rains half the days in Mexico any.
how, but that only makes the mangoes
grow larger and cheaper. If he has
no tortillas to-day some of his neigh
ors have, and they will gladly share,
for conditions may be reversed to-mor-
row.
These Mexican Indians make the best
and the poorest servants In the world.
Their greatest charm from this stand
point is their perfect appreciation Of
their position. Always polite, never
presuming, with hat In hand, it is al
ways your servant and with your
permission" In the household they
ask a half holiday once fortnight
with never word of complaint when
working hours last from daylight to
midnight.
The Mexican Indian does not want
