Mayor stood on an improvised platform IN
the dimly lighted boring 200 feet under

Peruvian indians Work When They
Are coaxsd With 4 Lariat.
An American whose business inter-
ests in Peru have led him from time
to time to spend considerable periods
in the interior Of that country has
found that the Indians Of Peru are
the LATEST people in the world. Ii they

willing to meet the obligation. they

It was friend of the family, who
was on bis way to settle an account
with a troublesome debtor. When the
family hinted that creditor would
hardly be received at such an hour
the man touched something hanging on
the pommel of his saddle and said that
he had something there that would SET
tie things.
His debtor was an Indian who lived
not far away in the country and who
had promised to make for him three
or four hundred large adobe bricks in
payment for some small wares that he
had purchased two years before. He
seemed perfectly willing to fulfill his
contract and whenever he was re-
minded of it would promise to be on
hand the next day. but he never ap-
peared. An hour later the merchant.
