during ordinary business hours.
His rOom-his only room, which
serves for the reception of his guests,
the conduct of his business and for
his sleeping quarters-is next door to
that of Consul Canada. 1t is quite
like the living room Of a comfortable
farm house. but a striking feature is
the lack of windows. A lattice door
opening upon a balcony which sur
rounds an interior court serves,
however, to admit some light and
air.
A square table spread with a green
patterned cover stanus in the middle
of the room. 1t is usually Uttered with
books and papers and pasted clip
pings, among which the governor (for
his gubernat0rial honors in Minneso-
ia still cling to him here) may often
be found l%opelesly searching tor
something he wants. Just as he is
expected to reach the state of ex-
ASPIRATION, however, he gives up the
hunt and good humoredly remarks:
'I9must have filed that In the waste

Other features of his quarters sug-
gest democratic simplicity. His only
trunk is perched on a pine box in a
corner to render it's contents more
accessible, and in another corner of
the room stands his plain iron bed.
Amid these surroundings Mr.. Lind
receives his visitors, usually with
such affability that they jump to the
conclusion that he will readily divulge
some ''inside information" of the re.
lations between his country and Mexi-
co. But the governor is both impene.
trable and imperturbabe. He will
readily discuss conditions In Mexico
SO far as they AFFECT the bean crop,
quoting statistics Of the annual con-
sumption, and cover such q range Of
topics concerning the country and the
people that many who. haye--inter.
viewed him have come away with the
conviction tnat he is the best inform.
ed American in Mexico. Oh hand he
can sketch the life of almost every
Mexican of prominence in the capital,
and almost tell what General Huerta,
is thinking: hut as to his own thought
or the intention of his chief in the,
white. house. he remains cordially sill.

The visitor departs. with arsense of
having been the man interviewed, for
Mr.. Lind has a, faculty Of absorbing
all that a caller may bring him and
giving in %excahnge interesting but
imnocuOus information.
He recently told an incident of
the street whenra Mexican Of the bat
ter class seized his hand. as lie pass
ed and pressed it to his lips for a
kiss. The stranger said something in
Spanish which the governor only par
TALLY understood but he Interpreted
it as a tribute to him for his share
in the affair of Felix Diaz's flight. y
Mr.. Lind's staff consists only Of
&sle ass stant, VIII 'ois Clinton u.
MacEachran, who was sent down
from the state department. at Wash
ington and originally assigned to du:
" at the embassy in Mexico City, but
appropriated by MIR. Lind. "
Although American warships come
and 20 Mr.. Lind sees little Of the
American sailors. For many mouths
they have been forbidden by their
officers to 80 ashore, out squads from
the English and German battleships
are very commonly seen Of an -af.
ternoon or evening sitting at tables
in the cafes or wandering about
town.
The American colony generally has
diminished with the passing Of the
latest Intervention scare. Many WON.
who had been weeks in the city
ready to embark for the United Stat
es, returned to Mexico City for the
holidays. Among the foreigners re-
manning here to await developments
sea bathing has become a popular
pastime and in spite of crude accom-.
many Of the capitals ma
society women would as soon
miss their 5 o'clock tea as their
morning plunge in the surf.
