A Country Of Reggars-

There are about 5000. COO adults III the
republic who can nei,rcr read nor write.
and they constitute The peon class. The
LOCO .oo0 are half-breeds. In Mexico they
are known as genie sin razon"-poople
without reason. AS Il rule they are defer
entail but quick to resent what they ON
slider an affront to their rights. They
may be compelled to work a lifetime al
pitiful wages, and VIII never complain
about it. but the minute anyone treats
them discourteously he is likely to hear
from them. The man who calls one of
them a sreaser had better be prepared
for trouble.
The begging class. Of course, is made
up of poems. Almost the first phrase a
foreigner learns in Mexico is ''perdoncme
por Dlos pardon me in the name of God
for wherever he goes he is confronted
with the lame, the halt. the blind. and
more especially the good-for-nothing. with
an appeal for "un centavo. senor." Many
of them invoke the blessing of God and
the saints upon the person of whom they
beg, and the foreigner in Mexico has de-
nominated that class the 'for-Cfod-sak-
ers.' Dozens of poor. hedraggled boys and
girls are to be found on the streets of
every town and city and at every rail-
road station in the republic, each of them
usually carrying a baby wrapped in "A
rebosa. They accost the stranger with
appeals for a centavo. When they get IT..

Workers Easily Satisfied

Perhaps nowhere in the world can one
find a race of people whose wants are few
err or more easily satisfied than those of
the average Mexican peon. He and his
family may banquet IN tortillas, f~rijoles,
and chill. and a simple mat for sleeping
affords them as much comfort as the
downiest couch brings to the average
American citizen. Wrapped in his serape,
with his hat for a pillow, he sleeps as
sweetly as a baby from bedtime tn!
dawn.
The poems on a large ranch or planta-
ton often vie" their employer much in the
same light as the old-time southern slave
looked upon his master. He becomes their
family physician. prescribing for their or
dlnarN HIS. offlclates as godfather at the
birth of their children. attends their mar
riages and is present at their wakes. The
employer is usually kind. though he must
always be firm. In some instances. as in
slavery days. employers are harsh and
sometimes cruel to their peon labor. 1t is
charged by many who have investigated
condition, that in certain sections of Mex
leo practical slavery exists, but if it does.
it is not because there is anything lack
ing in the Mexican constitutions. An ar
ticle in that instrument sets forth that no
Mexican shall be compelled to work with
out his full assent and that no citizen of
the republic can bargain away his right to
freedom from Imprisonment for debt.
In some parts OF Mexico the peon fares
very we'll and receives good pa, for his
services. On the docks of the Tehaunte-
pee railway they are paid two pesos a day
for 10 hours work. and are given a sub
stantial bonus fer accom- plisiling more
than the usual stint. The National Rail
ways of Mexico make ii a rule to prefer
Mexican labor To any other kind, and so
far as possible MeXicans are employed on
its lines. These men give good service and
the American, officials Of the national rail
ways. while admitting that they are not
fitting themselves for the responsible po-
sitions as rapidly as tie government had
hoped, declare that the interests of the
railroads are Well protected by the native
eslploye.
There is only ore thing in which the
peon has really expensive tastes and that
is in the matter OF q hat. He is content
with u straw sombrero as long as he has
no means To buy 4 better one. but the
minute he secures sufficient funds. he will
invest in the highest priced felt affair tina.

thing to see Q peon weoring a $50 hat, a 81
pair OF trousers, with not even an Indian
sandal to cover his foot. Some OF these
hats are very artistic and their possesso,.
exci.es the envy of every peon in the
community.

Mode of Dress Primitive

The dress of the pcon and his family is
usually of the cheapest kind. cotton being
the ~favorite material. The men wear a
cotton shirt and trousers and a straw
sombrero. As a wrap they wear the SER
ape, which serves as clothing by day and
bedding by night. The women wear very
simple clothing and wrap their head and
shoulders in the rebosa. which is a sort
OF shawl. They have a unique way OF
Wrapping their babies on their back with
the lebosa, and one often sees q peon
woman carrying a baby on her back. a
basket on her head and a bundle in each
hand. Sometimes she reverses this and
wraps the baby in front of her. straps
her load on her back and carries a bundle
in each hand. They often travel for miles
so laden without seeming to tire. The
chiidfen present an amusing spectacle.
The little girls dress exactly like their
mothers and look like pigmy women and
the boys dress in precisely the same style
as their fathers.
Moving vans are practically unknown in
Mexico. Household goods and almost
everything else down to the baggage of
the tourist is carried by cargadores. In
heavy work these human burden bearers
operate in pairs. They nave a sort of
platform which might be likened TO a

evidence of profitable cultivation to justify
