THE TOWNSEND MUCH PEACE

1RS EM LEONARD

81 believe Upper will help me ar
range the room. She's mothered us
for five years and nothing we ask of
her is too much trouble" Dudley
stopped whistling long enough to de-
liver himself of this remark, while on
the way upstairs to begin clearing the
room.
Call up the speaking tube when I
am needed here he shouted to his
father from the landing.
The day proved to be rainy and
business did not require Dudley's
presence for several hours. The deliv-
cry boy found an hour to help carry the
heavy boxes to another storeroom. so
by night the room was cleared. Dud-
ley was right about the readiness of
Mrs. Upper to assist her favorite in
settling his new quarters. The next
afternoon after the dinner work was
out of the way Mrs Topper appeared
in the parlor door gloved and bonneted
for the street.
81 shall be back in time to get sup
per-" she announced cheerfully, but
you will have to wait or the door"
why, Mrs. Topper, is this your af-
ternoon out?' asked Mrs Townsend in
surprise. Il have been careless about
arranging a day for YOU
Don't you bother about that: l go
when I feel like it, provided the work
is done. Sometimes l do not go for a
month; then again 1 go a couple of
times a week.
Really, | prefer to have a regular
time that you can consider your own
-" began Mrs. Townsend in bust
nesslike tone. But the cheerful ro-
tund face became stern and the flow
ers on the bonnet quivered as she said:
you will make no such arrangement
with me. Mrs. Townsend 1 am not
as you may say, in service. l have q
home to 20 to, and 1 must have my
liberty" She let herself out of the
door and raised her parasol as if fir.

all cleaned ready for settling.

The state land board will not go to

the Big Lost River project who wish
to protest to the board against the
signing of the proposed contract with
the Utah Construction company for
the reclamation of lands under that
project The board met this morning

wire the settlers that the board can
not be at Mackay Friday to meet with

visions of the contract, and for steps
to protect the settlers who have since

river and under permit from the state
engineer, diverted water from that
stream for irrigation purposes. These
settlers feel that they have rights to
the water entitled to recognition and
that no company can hold water rights
indefinitely under extensions granted
by the land board which they assert is
true insofar as the Utah Construction
company is concerned 1t is because

Thirty Eight Per Cent of The
People In Mexico Are indians

WASHINGTON, d. c., April "a
There are more Indians living today
within the territory originally com
prising Mexico than ever existed at
any one time in all the rest of the
Western Hemisphere combined, acL
cording to a bulletin issued today by
the Matt nal Geographic society OF
Washington
of the 100000 inhabitants of
Mexico, .u1!y 3S per cent. are pure
InGians, and 43 per cent. of mixed
blood, only 10 per cent being whites, -
continues the bulletin.
These six million Indians, many OF
whom are descendants of that wond-
erful race the Aztecs, are divided in
to many families and tribes, the num-
bers varying according to the stand
ards of differentiation adopted by
each enthnologist. Some authorities
group them into fourteen families,
with fifty-one languages and thirty
with fifty-one languages and sixty
nine dialects, while others make six
teen family divisions, subdivided into
one hundred thirty-two tribes.
THE degrees of civilization to be
found among the many tribes are as
tonishing, ranging from the abject
Seri Indians of Sonora, as pitiably I'M
developed as the Indians of Terra del
Flego, to the highly developed and
splendid specimens of manhod found
among the Nahuatl and Maya tribes.
THE finest examples of aboriginal
civilization on the North American
continent were to be found in the
neighborhood of the present City of
Mexico, with the possible exception Of
that prehistoric race of temple build
els whose ruins dot the Yucatan pen
ipsular. 1t was on the site Of the Cap

whether it will ever pay. Of wood
there is an enormous supply, but it
grows in the remote and generally in
salubrious regions.
AS for American coal, the freight
charged, 80 shillings per ten, rules it
out of consideration, in view of the
fact that the British product is sup
piled OF $50 ton. This can be done
because freighters are sure of picking
up profitable charters in the River
Platts for England or France.
To give an idea of the manifold ways
in which the lack of fuel affects the
currents of commerce, it is sufficient
to note that the great hotel proprietors
have met and deliberated upon the
best course of action in view of the
increased kitchen and laundry ex-
,pcnses, which are nearly double what
they were.

OF STATE
BEGIN FIGHT FOR LAW

ATLANTA, Ca, April 24.-An ag-
gressive campaign by the physicians of
Georgia against the practice known as
'tee-splitting," and the enactment of a
law making the practice criminal Of
Tense, are expected to grow out of the
address of DR.. W. S. Goldsmith, of
Atlanta, in retiring as president of the
Georgia Medical association.
In this address, delivered in Column
bus, DR.. Goldsmith denounced doctors
who split fees as contemplate thieves
and grafters, preying upon the ills and
ignorance of their patients, taking ad-
vantage of friendship and confidence
reposed in them to enrich their purses
with unnecessary surgical operations. .
The particular practice which DR..
Goldsmith hurled his denunciation is
that of physician advising a patient
taat he or she needs an operation, AMI
advising the patient to have the same
performed by surgeon in some near
by city, with whom the family physi-
clan splits the surgical fee.
Dr. Goldsmith's address was en-
Enthusiastically received and the associa-
ton passed resolutions urging the
legislature to enact a law making fee
splitting criminal offense, which low
is now in effect in several other states.

, til that the ToltecS left their 1mprints
from $50 A. d. to the twelfth century
when the Chichimecs, a cruder tribe,
replaced them, not by conquest but
because the Toltecs died out, some
antiquarians attributing their grad
ual disappearance to the ravages of
pulque, the insidious drink that has
ever been the curse of that country.
Then came the highly civilized
Acolhuas, and few years later, be
fore the opening of the thirteenth CEN
fury, the Aztec began to pour in, leav-
ing in their wake, as they came up the
plateau, the remarkable structures
now known as the ruins of Casas
Grandes. They built lula, fifty miles
north of Mexico City, and eventually
founded Tenochtitlan on a site select
ed for them by the gods, according to
legend, the sign being an eagle perch
ed on clump of cacti, with serpent
in its talons. 1t is this sign which re-
mains today the national emblem, an
Fearing both on the coins and on the
flag of Mexico
One of the most interesting leg
ends about the tribes from which the
Indians of today are descendants is
that recorded of the Colhuas, who are
supposed to have enslaved the Aztecs
during the latter's migratory march
up the plateau. The conquerors soon
released their enemies because thew
were Mortified at the Aztecs' custom
Of offering human sacrifices to their
gods
1T was largely to the cooperation
o. the Tlaxacalans, neighboring
tribe, that Cortez owed his triumph
over the Aztecs. The latter were as
brave and as chivalrous soldiers as
were the Spanish adventures who
enjoyed the decisive advantage of gun
podwer and horses, both of which
were unknown to the natives. The
generosity of the Aztecs as fighting
men is exemplified in single incident.
Learning that the enemy was with
out food the Mexicans' dispatched an
ample supply of provisions, because
they scorned to fight starving foe!
THE majority of the pure-blooded
Indians of Mexico are quiet, some
what melancholy people Even on
holidays, of which there are 131 on
the Mexican calendar, they move sill
emily among the crowds, the men
either barefooted or wearing woven
sandals, their shoulders covered with
their striped sarapes, and the women
with their dingy rebosas wrapped
about them. In attire the young girls,
like the children of Holland, are min
iature replicas of their mothers.
THE pure-blooded Indian of the re-
mote regions untouched by civilization
is more frequently than otherwise a
stalWart individual of upright charac-
ter, moral, honest, and loyal. One of
the finest examples of his race was
Benito Juarez, a member of the Zap
otecas tribe of Oaxaca He was by
turns a shepard, student of divinity,

He said when he went to Manila
the city was infested with rats. He
secured more than 10000 rattraps and
put his men to work and in six weeks
they had destroyed more than 100000
rats and the city was then free from

the deaths in our city was from con-
sumption. Yet we did nothing to stay
it. If one-third of our horses, cattle
and hogs were dying from foot and
mouth disease we would move all the
powers that be to eradicate it. One
sixth of the deaths, or about 1880 peo-
pie. are reported dying annually in
Kentucky from the Great White
Plague, yet the present Legislature is
poverty stricken when it comes to
building a sanitorium for the afflicted
ones. Yet our hogs, horses and cattle
