A Mexican Tradition.

'Boys, what's the matter? Fever!
Die, then; die. then" That's the song
the doves sing down in old Mexico
when native has penumonia, and
almost invariably he lies down, refuses
TO swallow the medicine prescribed by
the physician. resigns himself TO his
fate and in few weeks he dies. The
dove. however, sings the song In Span
lsh. 1t is q tradition among the Mex
leans that once the fever accompany
ing an attack of pneumonia selzes
them it Is necessarily fatal, and be-
cause Of this all medicine and all ply
sicians are refused and the Mexican
usually dies. The dove brings the
story of death in Its weird cooling. ac-
eording to the belief Of the natives,
and many who have been seized with
the fever who otherwise might have
recovered have succumbed owing tc
their belief in the tradition. That is
the reason, ii IS said. why penumonia
Is fatal to so many Mexicans.-NeW
