Surprised Dinner Party.

In "A recently published book Sir
Henry Lucy has n charming story of
the late Canon Anger. The canon
was very fond of children, and set out
one night to attend a party given 'by
children for children"
Don't announce me-" he said to the
servant.
Leaving his coat and hat downstairs,
he quietly opened the drawing-room
door, where the buzz Of voices an
nounced the presence of company.
Dropping on his hands and knees he
entered, making strange noises distinct
ly resembling the neighing of a horse.
Aware of Il dead silence, he looked up.
and found the guests assembled for an
eight-o' clock dinner regarding him
with disgust not unmixed with alarm.
The childrens party was next door.

To LiUe Long!

A recipe given by famous ply
stefan for long life was: keep the
kidneys in good order! Try to elimi-
nate through the skin and intestines
the poisons that otherwise clog the kid
neys. Avoid eating meat as much as
possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol,
tea. Drink plenty Of water"
For those past middle life, for those
easily recognized symptoms of infiam-
nation, as backache, scalding "water,"
or If uric acid in the blood has caused
rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness,
get Anuric at the drug store. This is
a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and
was discovered by DIR. Pierce of In
valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your
druggist does not keep it send 10 cents
to DR.. Pierce for trial package and you
will know that 1t is many times
more potent than lithia and that it dis
solves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

OF llamas, carrying the produce many
leagues to the nearest shipping place
without charge to the owner.
While this appears at first sight
nothing short of slavery conditions
the lot of Indians in these mountains
is not so bad as it might seem. They
have their own bits of land, which they
cultivate assiduously and which yield
them a good living, and they have
their own sheep, llamas and alpacas
and certain number of cattle. Their
grazing lands are apportioned to them
and they are protected in their rights.
There is no danger of their homes be-
ing taken from them. In fact, the In
dams in the interior are so truly we'd
ded to the place where they and
their fathers have lived for gem
erations that it is virtually impossi-
bic to move them from their homes,
and when the land changes hands they
are practically sold with the land, and
simply transfer their allegiance from
one master to another.
CARRIED in Gay coIors.
There is no more picturesque sight
to be seen in South America, if in
deed anywhere in the Orient, than
these Indians journeying on foot be-
hind their long trains of llamas, laden
with alpaca or wool, on their way to
the market places. A market place
like that at Sicuani, where on Sunday
many hundreds of Indians gather, leav-
ing their llamas and burros corralled
on the hillsides, while they throng the
central plaza with their wares for
sale, makes an unforgettable pic
ture.
The first impression is one of color
color everywhere. 1t is one vast sea
of variegated ponchos, shawls and
head-dresses. Women in gay dresses
of red or blue or purple are sitting
in front of their little mats, on which
they display the food they have for
sale, or the socks which they have
made, or the ponchos they have woven,
and as they bargain with the passer-by

A 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. 1t is common saying that
all Peru lives off the Indian. II the
Indian was taken out of Peru to-
day the country would suffer until the
remaining portion of the population
had learned by necessity ia cultivate
the land and to make a living.
The ancient Inca empire, of which
Cuzco was the center and the home
of the Inca kings, extended originally
from beyond Quito to the southern
coast of Chile, including what is now
known as Ecuador, Peru and Chile,
and these ancient peoples had here a
civilization in many respects more adj
vanced than that of the Spanish ad-
venturers who conquered them.
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-
rigated 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.
When the Spaniards came, not to
colonize so much as to conquer, and
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1916-12-08

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
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 Is 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 Ia 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 cult
yate the great estates, and when the
owner wishes to send his produce to
market he has simply to call upon his
indiana. who respond 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
ponch0s.
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 striking contrast to conditions
found among the cholas or mestizos
occupying the towns and villages.
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 1t is praiseworthy.
Nor is the Indian free from romance.
Indeed, strong romantic strain runs
through the character of these people
OF the hills. On a quiet night in
some of these wonderful valleys the
traveller may be sitting ON the veranda
of a great hacienda when there will
float up to him the plaintive murmur
of a flute, played in a minor key.
The owner of the ranch will turn
to you and say, 81 see it's counting
time. One of my Indians is serenad-
ing his lady-love down there in the
Indian village. One of these DAYS
he will come to me and say, Master,
l want a plot of ground and will
go with him and choose his land
and he will build his little hut, and
there will be new family on the es-
tate"

He Gets Chilly Reception in
 Gotham and Is Told to Move

New York, July 24-Thinking per- tention on the influx of sharks from the briny main would afford an op- portunity for those of the land variety to ply their trade, a good sized con- tingent of the confidence fraternity has swooped down upon New York city in the last two weeks At any
 rate, there are in daily evidence more
 "cOme-on' accountants than have
 been seen here at any one time since the click of the chip, the whirr of the
 little ivory ball and the roll of the
 dice ceased to be loud, which is
 matter of four years ago. Most of
 the newcomers, or homecomers, be-
 long to the fake poolroom category,
 but any other game in which there
 is no chance to lose likewise looks
 good to them
 According to all accounts, however,
 the versatile gentry have not struck
 a thing they have been able to "play
 across the board" They have failed
 utterly in their evident readiness to
 make the big hotels the base of their
 operations. Tn these they have found no air of domesticity, but only wary
 house detectives meeting them more
 than half way with anything but a hOSpltable manner. They are not even allowed to stand around and dis cuss the situation in the Hobbies or in the adjacent thirst assuagers Before they get the smallest chance to knock the cover off even a S2 bill, they run smack against a keep moving" or | der just as if they were ordinary mnm- | bers of the recently banned chair | warming brigade.

Washington, July 24.-Thirty teams have entered in the competition this year for the national trophy presented bv the war department representing the civilian rifle club national team championship of the United States. The match, now being held under the ausDices of the national board for the promotion of rifle practice, will be completed August 10. Last year the trophy was won by the Los Angeles Rifle Club, competing again this year.
 Teams consist of twelve men, the ten highest scores counting. The match resembles the national match for service teams. The winner holds the trophy one year and the first ten teams receive silver medals. Bronze medals will go to members of ten teams. Artillery and national guard officers will supervise the matches, which will be shot on home ranges.
