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 OPP
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
Gent 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 small patch
of land, which is frequently opened by
the community or by 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 10 cents gold day.
In the case of the Indians who oc-
cupy land on the great estates of
the Sierras (and there are often as
many as 400 families of Indians who
live in these large haciendas, as their
fathers have for generations) the own
er has the right TO demand the labor
of the Indian for virtually any work he
REQUIRES and at any time. At time
of planting, wedding and harvesting all
the Indians are requisitioned TO culti-
vate the great estates, and when the
owner wishes TO send his produce TO
market he s.as simply to call upon his
indians, VIZ. !esDond with their trains

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

They are never idle, these Indian
women, as they trot along the paths

the Indian chooses his mate at an
early age. and his loyalty to her and
her family is usually lifelong. form

You will be told by those who live
in the midst of these mountain tribes
that there is very little immortality
among them and the spirit OF co-opera-
ton existing between the man, woman
and their children In their common
toll and simple pleasures is as beauti-
full as IL is praiSeworthy.
Nor is the Indian free from romance.
Indeed, a strong romantic strain runs
through the character of these people
of the hills. On quiet night In
some of these wonderful valleys the
traveller may be sitting on the veranda
of a great hacienda when there will

Let it be soon," she answered pite-
ously.
On the next day he took the train
with his scheme fully matured. He
would make clean breast of the
matter to Steel, offering to make good
| If the bank would abstain from prose-
! cutting him. And he would take his
thirty thousand and get out of 1t all,
| with his wife, to Florida.
| But would Steel and the president
| consent? They were hard men, and
he would have to play his cards wari-
ly. He pondered over the perplexing
situation in the train, and he had
not quite decided when he reached
the bank.
He noticed an atmosphere of sub
dued excitement as he went to put on
and looking furtively toward him.
But Harold had shut himself off from
the friendship of men, as every man
must when he devotes himself to the
violation of moral laws, and nobody
came forward to speak to him.
He was just entering the cage when
the managers boy came up. 1.-THE
president wants to see you in his pri-
vate room, Mr.. Denton he said.
Harold Denton mechanically changed
his coat again. The crisis was upon
him, and he had not yet made up his
mind. And he was conscious only of
a wild impulse to fly.
He went out of the cage and into
the corridor. The Waterman was
looking at him. On his right lay the
presidents room, ahead of him only
the Waterman and the glass door, and
then the street, with the cars rumbling
down in blaze of sunshine. If he
chose to make a bolt he could prob
ably get away. Then he suddenly re-
membered. The draft was in his
pocket and uncashed. If he ran away
he would run away penniless.
For just an instant he hesitated,
and then, squaring his shoulders, he
entered the presidents room.
II know why you have sent for me,
Mr. Sawyer" he began.
The president, who was at his desk
alone, looked up at him. He bore
traces of a severe struggle. "a terri
BILE thing!' he said. "a terrible thing,
Mr.. Denton!'
"a commonplace of our business"
sneered Harold.
The president thumped his fist upon
the table. "No, sir" he said. "a
very infrequent thing. And to think
it should have been Steel! I trusted
him implicitly"
"Steel? gasped Harold.
"You haven't heard? Steel commit
ted suicide this morning, after writing
a letter confessing that he had de-
faulted and robbed the bank of an uIl-
known amount. A terrible thing, Mr..
Denton. 1 want you to go over the
books with the auditor and help him."
Somehow Denton found himself in
the bank again. He was saved; and
all that remained now was to manage,
as he could manage, to replace the
amount he had stolen.
AS he changed his coat for the third
time the irony of the thing began to
eat into his soul. And then he found
his tears falling upon the paper. And
above all, he had a vision of his wife
restored to him, and their fortunate
future.

There was a snapper on 1t providing for drouth in the District of Colum- bia, but the news item sent from the shipped by the committee.
 Prohibition is a matter of personal privilege and when the majority in any state decide that they want it they vote for it.
 There has been feeling in Alas kans that the day was not far dis tant when a majority of Alaskans would vote on the question, but now it appears that Alaskans are not to be allowed that privilege.
 The question is changed at once and becomes not a proposition of dry or wet, but one of self government or paternal government. Self respect ing people do not like to be regulated by laws in the adoption of which they have no vote.
 If Alaskans are so un-regenerate that we are not to be allowed to vote our own reforms. the least the rulers can do will be to take their own medl- capital states that the snapper was cine. For Congress to pass reform for Alaska and refuse to adopt the same law in the District of Columbia would be d final insult.-Exchange.

The Demand for Metal Mines.

The difficulty in selling mining claims and good prospects can gen. erally be attributed to the words "Thousands Down." The prospector or claim-owner who will consider himself as the buyer and will make such price and terms as he himself would accept if he were the buyer and some one else the seller, will find a ready market for his property.
 No conservative investors in min ing properties want to pay thousands down just for the privilege of spend ing thousands more in digging upon some one else's property to see if they can find something.
 Where there is one producer. there are dozen developing properties and many prospects. There being but one crop in any mine, it is evident that some of the little fellows" develop ing new mines become the big pro- ducers when the present producers have folded their tents and passed away. Otherwise mining will not per petuate itself beyond the life of the present producers.

WATCH EyDR THE ROORBACk.

1 Our citizens are requested to watch out for the eleventh-hour statments by the opposition. They are in des- perate plight; their defeat is sure un- der ordinary circumstances. and it is perfectly understood that at late hour they will come out with some misrepresentation of facts and condi- tions which have no foundation. The "roorback" is the demagog's s strongest weapon. He cares not to what extremes he goes or how Wlld and fanciful his statement if he can but switch votes.
 Investigate every statement. Kun the election on it's merits. Place no credence in wild and fanciful stories emanating from demagogs and agita- tors. Vote early and see that your friends vote, and allow no one to ln- terfere with your prerogative.
 The opposition is whipped fairly and squarely up to the present time' and their only hope is to change the result by prejudice or the hoary old rOorback!
 Let's play the game square. Con duct yourself so that there can be no chance of recriminations after Tues day. Vote the Citizens Ticket straight and do not be misled by any other so- called tickets or issues.
 And when the cruel war is over if we are defeated. let it go at that. Beefing can't change the result
 But the prospects are today that the Citizens Ticket will have" over a hundred majority.
 But watch for the r0orback!
