Origin Of Bon Ton
Fire A Mystery

There have been no develop

the fire which damaged the Bon
Ton store here early Sunday

CCORDING to recent statistics
~ the population Of Peru COM
~ prises 100000 people. This
population is divided as fol-
lows: One million two hundred and
sixty thousand mestiZOs, or mixed
races from intermarriages OF the
whites with the Indians, 100000 whites
100000 negroes, 10000 Orientals and
100000 Indians.
The great problem of Peru is the
problem of the Indian, who is not only
numerically the important factor in the
country but is also virtually the only
support of the vast majority OF the
population, according to the Lima cor
respondent of the Christian Science
Monitor. It is q common saying that
all Peru lives off the Indian. If the
indian was taken out Of Peru to-
day the country would suffer until the
remaining portion of the population
had learned by necessity to cultivate
the land and to make living.

coast of Chile, including what is now
known as Ecuador, Peru and Chile,
and these ancient peoples had here a

Ancestors Were Enlightened.
When Pizarro came to Peru there
were nearly 100000 of these inhab-
itants of the Incas' realm in Peru
alone, Industrious, law-abiding, prac-
ticing progressive arts and having ir-
rgated farms, traces Of which are still
to be seen along the high peaks of the
Sierra tablelands. Their old homes
and fortresses, their temples and
their architecture reveal state and
quality Of knowledge and architectu'
raj skill resembling that of ancient
Egypt.

colonize so much as to conquer. and

their hands are always busy with the
little spindle dangling from their arm,
on which they are spinning wool from
which they will make other socks or
pOnchOS.
They are never idle, these Indian
women, as they trot along the paths
behind their llamas, as they herd their
sheep on the hillsides or as they come
through the streets Of CuZcO; you see
that little spindle being twirled by the
hand which has become so used to the
labor that the motion is performed me-
chanically.
Morality Of High Order.
Legal marriage among these Indians
Of the Sierras is not general, although
the Indian chooses his mate at an
early age, and his loyalty to her and
her family is usually lifelong, form
ing a striking contrast to conditions
found among the cholas or mestizos

exploit, the Indians were driven from
their homes, the country. in many in
stances went to waste, people becom-
ing slaves of their ruthless masters,
who proceeded to make the quiet,
tractable Indians into beasts OF bur-
den, killing them whenever they op-
posed.
The present evil traits Of the Indian,
his dishonesty, suspicion Of the white
man. and much of his sloth have been
the result of the condition under which
he has been controlled for 400 years or
more. During the old Inca regime such
sins as lying, stealing and adultery
were punishable by the extreme pen
atty, and the home life of these an
cient people was far better in char
acter than that generally found today
among their successors.
Trustworthy and Frugal.
Nevertheless, you will be told by
those people who know the Indian of
the interior especially that he forms
the best and most trustworthy ele-
ment in Peru today. He is hard work
ing and frugal, living on a small patch
of land, which is frequently opened by
the community or by a large landhold-
.er. He will work day after day for
his masters, receiving only ten cents
in Peruvian money, which is equal to
five cents in gold, at the end of the
week receiving an additional amount,
making his daily wage for the week
amount to about Is cents gold day.
In the case of the Indians who &C.

requires and at any time. At time
of planting, wedding and harvesting all
the Indians are requ:-. toned to cult

owner wishes tc send his produce to
