Mexico City, June 3.-Edith Wag-

says:
1t was while we were living in La
COS. a city on the high plateau of Mex
leo. that we first became acquainted
with Leonor.
Leonor was understood for eleven:
his skin is brown shaded to a smoky
black around the forehead and ears and
neck; the whites of his black eyes are
yellowish and the eye itself has a
glazed look; his nose is large and flat
shirt and trousers of unbleached cot
toni have often wondered what be-
comes of him when they are being
washed and dried, as they are occas-
sonally-to hold up his trousers and
serve as a pocket he wears a red cot
ton sash; he does not have underwear,
but carries. in tfe~Ginter, folded over
one shkalker readyyfor use, a red or

Leonor rises'about the time the sun
does. agd~starts at ogce to his work.
He does not to button shoes, put

from a straw ,U0I slips the thongs of
his sandals between his bare toes,
tightens the red cotton sash about his
empty stomach and behold him ready
for the day. After he has worked a
couple of hours he win get his break

chance has acquired little land and
is building on it houses for rent.

The unusual warm summer wealth
er we have experienced during the
month of May has aroused the pro-
fessional fisherman of Post c. Little
else Is heard among these sportsmen
than rods. reels. tackle, etc. In little
groups these fishermen gather and
discuss everything from the finest
steel rod and Shakespeare reel down
to the hundred and one different
hooks. Amidst this group and most
prominent appears always Jim Lewis,
champion angler in 7. p. A. circles.
Jim is not only posted on fishing out

cessantly on any subject put up to

his chief topics of conversation and
he never overlooks a chance to lead

both arms with such vim that the
motion soon attracted a large crowd
around him. Unconscious of the crowd
Jim continued his fishing in great
giee. He would argue with himself
aloud as to the better and scientific
way of doing everything from casting
the line to turning the reel. Once he
