over, open-minded and fair, and what he
says he really believes. Said he:
'The Quchuas OF today appear to lack
ordinary intelligence. You tell a man to
fetch you a broom and he will bring you
shovel. You send him for Ratchet, and
like as not he will come back with glass Of
water. If you knock him over and make
him go back he then may bring what you
have asked. The shock starts his brain to
working and it is only then that he under
stands. / believe that the cause of the de-
terioration of the Quichua is due somewhat
to the oppression he has had on the part of
the whites, but more to the alcohol and coca
with which his brain is soaked from the time
he reaches young manhood until the day of
his death The chewing Of the coca leaf be-
gins almost at birth; and boys and girls
young men and young women, as we'll as
the old, must have SO much coca per day
The Indians expect to be supplied with a
certain amount of coca in addition to their
wages They mix the leaves with the ashes
OF a certain tree and chew them. The ashes
furnish the alkali that loosens the alkaloid
of the coca, giving them the full effect of the
cocaine. These ashes are made UP in blocks
and are sold in the market Every Indian
carries his coca pouch with him and he
chews all the time. When his jaws stop you
can see this cud, the size of a walnut, bulg-
ing through one of his cheeks The coca
takes away hunger and enables him to en-
dure fatigue, but it also dries up the BRAIN
As to alcohol, both men and women drink
great quantities of aguardente or sugar
brandy This has an alcohol grade of about
81 per cent.
Another American who is large mine
operator in Bolivia, tells me that the Indian
boys are bright until the age of IS. Up to
that time they have plenty of coca, but their
brains have not been Sodden with LIQUOR
One reason for this is that their parents
want the liquor themselves. It is only after
10, when they begin to work independently
OF their parents, that they can get alcohol in
any great quantity. After that their brains
materially deteriorate, and they are on the
down grade for the rest of their lives.
A native Peruvian of Spanish descent
said to me: "The Quichuas have but little
ambition, and they live from hand to mouth
They seem to have no spirit and their brains
appear to be atrophedp
AS to alcohol, the extent to which it is
used among the Indians is beyond concep-
ton. You may see drunken men and wo-
men by scores at any feast, and at the rail-
road stations, and in every part of the coun-
try, there are Indians who go reeling along
with red faces and bleared eyes. During
my stay in Cuzco have gone into some Of
the alcohol stores, and | am astounded at
the vast quantities sold. There is a whole
sale and retail liquor establishment just OPP

BILLINGS BUYING
NEW YORK HORSES
HIGH CLASS BROOD MARES pUR-
CHASED AT OLD GLORY
HORSE SALE.

New York. Nov. 25,-There was a
general leap IN prices at the Old Glory
horse sale In Madison Square Garden
today, which eached it's zenith when
the consignment of the Dromore
Farm of st. Clair. Mich. was brought
into the ring. They were as fine n
looking lot as ever was presented to
buyers. in New York and though no
really big price was realized for any
particular star, the fifteen head sold
Melted S10,590, or an average of $7oS.
which Is considered big return for
horse flesh in these modern days OF
the motor car and aeroplane.
There was one disappointment in the
sale of the Dromore consignment, and
that was that General French. the
champion two-year-old trotting stall
lion, which had been touted as the
star of the sale, was knocked down
for 81, 100. Though this was the high
est price of the day 1t was far less
than the horse named after the
famous British general was expected
to bring and the only reason given
was the fact that General French did
not show in such a manner that would
indicate his ability to improve to any
great extent on his on-winning rec
ord Of 2:10 "a. made at the top OF his
two-year-old form.
The bidding on General French was
carried on in a desultory manner
and it hung for long time at $1,000.
Then it was seen that Richard Della
fell, the amateur reinsman who races
under the name of Brook Farm. was
anxious to obtain the speed merchant
Of the two-year-olds. Finally the colt
was knocked down to the bid of the
Brook Farm for s2.100. Mr.. Delaield
went further in his endeavor to re-
plenish his stable for the 1915 cam
paign, and he purchased two other
bright racing prospects from the Dro-
more consignment. He gave $4,000
for Poinsetta. a four-year-old mare by
Barongale- Amelia. with record OF
2:20. and $1,000 for Native Judge, a
yearling by Justice BROOKE, the sire
Of General French.

was c. X. G. Billings. under the name

PATTERSON GIVEN
A CLEAN BILL
EVIDENCE. SHOWS HE WAS JUS
TITLED IN SHOOTING IN. DE-
PENDING HOME.

While a witness for the Common
wealth was giving testimony in Hust-
ings Court, Part ii. yesterday morn
snE. in the trial OF Andrew K. Pat
terson. indicted on a charge of fe-
loniously shooting Edward Walker.
Judge Ernest II. Wells announced
that as the evidence showed that the
case was clearly one of justifa BILE
shooting he saw no reason for go
ing into the case any further. He
instructed the jury to bring a verdict
through tho formality without rising
from their seats.
The shooting for which Patterson
was indicted occurred on the after
noon Of October 10. Walker. who con-
ducts q grocery store at s24 Semmes
Avenue, came to Patterson's home,
which Is Just across the street from
tho formers grocery store. In pursuit
OF his wife, who had fled to the Pat
terson home q few minutes before.
where she told Patterson and his wife
that her husband was drunk and that
he had threatened her life.
Walker was meS at the gate by Mrs.
Patterson. And words followed between
the two. Walker was told that he
could not come into tho house. and
when he attempted to do so. Mrs. Pat
terson, according to the testimony
given, struck him In the face. This
enraged Walker, and he was soon en-
gagged in a scufiie with Mr.. Patterson.
who interfered to defend his home.
In the course of the scuffie Patterson
told Walker that he would shoot him
unless he left his home. This ap-
parently had no effect upon Walker.
so Patterson drew his pistol and fred.
The bullet missed walker, but Sec
ond shot lodged in his leg. Walker
has since recovered from his injury.

o'clock to attend meeting of the
department OF colleges and secondary
schools in connection with the Virginia
Education Conferences now In session.
He received telegram Immediately
on his arrival here. advising him OF
this disaster. and he took the $40

He said he did not think there
would be any trouble in engaging tenn
porary quarters and that arrange
ments would be made as soon as pos
sible for constructing another college
building.
Concerning the cause Of the fire,
Mr.. McCue expressed the belief that
1t originated from defective electric
wire, which had not been In good
working order in several weeks, The
buildings, four in number. were heated
by a furnace. The insurance amounts
to about $4,000.
The Rev Mr.. McCue succeeded the

CHURCH AND PEOPLE
A CONTRAST

Ivan Vert Times-Democrat

-
Attention has recently been called to
the difference between the American ne
gro and the freed Russian serf. Emanci-
patton in each case about fifty years ago.
There are about 10, 900, 900 negroes in
the United States. In the fifty years Of
their freedom they have accumulated
more than $780, 900, 900 in property, or
about $40 per capita, or $3.50 per family
and about 70 per cent have attained some
degree of literacy. They have S57 ,O00, :
900 in church property, and are support
ing in part 200 colleges and industrial
schools.
There are IA, 600, 600 Russian peasants
who were serfs. In their half century of
freedom they have accumulated $780,
900, 900 in property, about $36 per- capita
or $500 per family. while only 80 per
cent can read and write.
We are accustomed to think of the me-
gro as backward. Millions of Americans
believe he is of race inferior to the Cau-
casian. Yet he has made far better pro-
gress than the Russian serf. What has
made the difference?
The difference in the government OF
the two countries you say. That is true.
The poor emancipated serf has had no
