ture of the red man of the north. The
simple minded Indian of Mexico is not
In this class at all.
These Mexican Indians make the
best and the poorest servants in the
world. Their greatest charm from this
standpoint is the 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 ice a fortnight
with never a word of complaint when
working hours last from daylight to
midnight. His love for children Is par
ticularly marked. 1t is a common sight
to see a laborer in the street with but
two pieces Of white cotton clothing to
his back or his name stop a woman
with a baby in her arms and, holding
the child's face between both his hands,
deliver a resounding smack and chuck
1t under the chin.
Children In Many Ways.
1t is a mistake to think that the COM
mon people of Mexico have no nj OF
appreciation, that they are lacking in
gratitude, as one so often hears, espe-
cially from foreigners. The trouble Is
that those who do not know them ex-
pect too much. For the great part they
are uneducated. Their minds are not
developed. They are but children in
many ways. Give a child q big box OF
candy; in a few days it will be gone.
A month afterward you cannot expect
the child to be good on remembrance
Of the sweets so long consumed. In
stead give the child a stick of candy
every day throughout the month and
he will every day be your obedient adj
mirer. 1t is much the same with Juan.
You may fit him out from top to toe
with new clothes at great expense. He
cannot repeat to himself every day for
six months, "Now, my master has
given me these fine clothes, and l must
be grateful A cigarette given at
more frequent intervals In the proper
spirit would much more effectually
keep his friendship and gratitude. Do
not be afraid that such an act of COM
partnership OF your part would lead to
undue familiarity OH Juan's part. He
will take off his hat and say. "Gracias,
senor," just as politely the last time as
the first.
Dance Shows Peon at His Best.
The boile Is about the only per-
manent stamp of Spanish civilization
left on the mass of the Mexican popu-
lation. And it is genuinely Spanish. 1t
is the one joyous feature In the life of
the common people, in war or peace,
the dance goes on.
During the recent years OF carnage
battles between the contending fac
lions have been postponed Of foregone

~ YER since rumors Of the posi-
BILE occupation Of Mexico by
United States troops the poorer
people Of that war plagued land
showed strange agitation.
Is this advent of the American to be
the fulfllment of their ancient pro-
phetic tradition that the deliverance of
the oppressed Mexican peon shallco
with the arrival Of the white man from
the north?
That was the promise Of Itzama,
their hero god, whose book Of wisdom
Is their decalogue, though hidden away
through centuries.
The modern and perhaps debased
type of the tribes has been listening
to strange, ~portentous tales by the old
caciQues Chiefs and wrinkled tribal
grannies of late, and they have been
deserving by the hundreds from the
various Mexican armies.
The tradition Of delivering Of the In
dams of Mexico runs thus:
Itzama, their hero god, came to them
from across the sea many years ago.
Previously the Indians had lived like
wild beasts, hunting and being hunted.
Itzama gathered them together, show
ing them how to build, SO that they be-
came a powerful and enlightened ma
ton. Peace prevailed.
The Book Of itxama.
But Itzama departed. He left with
the tribes elders his book of wisdom
to guide them. 1t dwelt emphatically
ON the steps that must be- taken to
guard against the entry Of white men
from across seas who would come In
boats with wings, bringing a strange
god. Processing him, they would not
have him In their hearts.
That part Of Itzama's prophecy has
already been fulfilled, as the Mayas
know only too well, being the sons and
daughters of fathers and mothers tor
tured and robbed and killed by the
Spanish buccaneers.
But there is a part still to be full
oiled. they say.
Itzama's book declared that their true
deliyerer would be a white man, COM
ing out Of the north. powerful but
kind, who should strike OF their shack
les and deliver them from their terrors.
Doomed to die, they say they are. and
their days are numbered. But in the
arms of the white emancipation from
the north they win pass away In peace
as his equal.
Always and eve the old poems are
seeking the book Of Itzama, which, ira

peror Montezuma, before his torture

In Mexico 1t was simply obeying the
aboriginal instinct to kill ones enemy.
and If the enemy happened to be dis
armed and helpless that waS no reason
WHY he should not be butchered.
Whether the Constitutionalists or the
federals did the more killing OF TINS
kind may be a question. but the tact

accepted 1t as a matter of course.

Mexico is eloquent witness to this 1act.
The o follow their leader. 1t
will be disappointing to college proies-
sors and others who believe that a
spontaneous revolution for principle
was going on to learn how completely
tribal and feudal the war was at least
until Torreon. They did not follow the
great hacienda owner into a civil war,
because where he was not
he fled. But they went out from the
hacienda under some cabecilla or little
chief as a part Of the estate and from
the tours in groups under some local
leader.
Little Originality Shown.
A popularity Of Mexico in peaceful
times that is quickly noticed by FOR
eigners is the exact similarity with
which every workman Of a certain
class does his work, the identical ar
rangement Of stores of like character,
the close resemblance Of implements
and machinery with which the same
class of industry is carried on In differ
ent establishments and the apparent
respect that one vendor has for an
others trade. This latter trait seems
to extend even to whole communities.
At one city you will find the entire
population almost making a living by
the manufacture Of baskets. In the
next town men, women and children
make pottery all day long. Each town
has been making baskets or making
pottery for two or three hundred years.
No one in the first town ever thought
of making pottery. and no one In the
other town would deign to cav a
basket. This is carried out even down
to the poorest peddlers.
The vendor of one kind of cake al
ways uses q triangle to herald his APP
proach. The triangle is never used by
any other kind of peddler. Every class
of street peddlers has a peculiar sing
sons cry. and every member of the
profession initiates it with great exact
ness, and they can easily be recognized
in a short time even by those who can
not understand a single word of the
call. The Mexican workman has an
equally careful regard for the tradi-
tional methods employed in his calling.
and If he is n ~bricklayer earning 70
cents a day with the assistance of a
plum line and a boy to hand him his
tools and material he will work on day
in and day out in utter contempt of
the methods employed by an American
bricklayer near by who is being paid
s. or SO a day and earning it when re-
suits are compared.
