Scorpion Bite
Ended Birthday Party
THAN worthless.

THAN worthless.
As each of us are rewarded, the
others looked on with a glance mix
ture of a smile and frown and
thought that other women known
to have lone much harm were once
little girls hat kissed their men
friends as she did. The thought was
without doubt insulting, and a cyni-
cal smile of self-contempt dismissed
it.
Our manager, in the name of our
party, presented the little girl with
a pure, thoroughbred, one-year-old
pony. The crowd went wild: our
friends were silent and Mary. with
tears and laughs all at once, kissed
her pet. We looked and looked more
and tried to hide something our eye
were freeing. Are not men proud?
Acting as Mary's escort and fol-
lowed by the entire village, we "a
raded the girl in triumph through
streets, paths and roads. Each of
us had a race and. of course, the
pony licked all of US.
The rest of the day was taken by
different entertainments supplied by
the humble natives who thus tried
ito show their appreciation to their
human boss. Sweet string music,
Aztec dances, a great rodeo and
what not. as long as the girl asked
for it, were part of the elaborated
and highly interesting program in
tended to take the greatest part of
two days and one night.
About eight o'clock the guests,
about fifty of them, were led to the
dining room. People who never had
the chance to see a plantation usual
ly think of it as a Gods forgotten
hole without comforts and where
mere necessities are not to be found.
Such is the case in some places, but
one of the most wonderful and sen
sational surprises the traveller re-
~ceives in those lands is the fact that
after travelling for miles through
tains and even jungles. his eyes are
suddenly impressed by some mag
~nificent structure rising on some pic
turesque little hill and~surrounded by
a park and perhaps a lake. II at
any time a man wide awake feels
himself dreaming, that is the time.
The most fastidious and strictest
etiquette in dress and is
observed in many of those hidden
enchanted mansions where so many
love affairs were born, thoroughly
enjoyed and killed.
Good natured men. beautifully
gowned women, some pretty, some
not so pretty, some ugly but inter-
esting, were seated around the table
presided over by the little hostess.
At the end a dozen youngsters
were wondering what was to come
next and feasting their anxious ayes
on the rich display of sweets ready
for them. Old people, heavy heart
ed, were thinking of younger days,
their loves, laughs and tears. The
girls parents proud, happy and
grateful, smiled at all and with all.
When the champagne was uncork-
ed the little girl. seated between my
manager and myself, asked me to
tell a story WHICH I related to her in
one of our frequent motor boat trips
on the plantations lake.
When the end was reached, she
raised a glass to my lips, but in her
excitement, she spilled the con-
tents all over me. AS the precious
J sparkling liquid worked it's way

Editor Evening News:
In that very interesting and highly
instructive column of your paper
written under the heading "Ques-
tons and Answers" l read the fol-
lowing:
@. Where do scorpions hide?
A. They usually hide by day in
%crevices under stones or in dark
holes. Some species enter houses
and hide in boots and shoes and
when disturbed, attempt to sting
human beings. The sting is very
painful, but rarely if ever fatal, Etc"
For the enlightenment of your
readers and having as l had seen
the above statement printed by more
than a half dozen newspapers, L will
like to answer it with a little episode
of which 1 unfortunately vas a wit
ness during my four years of resi-
dence in Mexico.
"A certain morning of May in the
year of 1909 the manager of the
plantation whose sugar and alcohol
mills were under my care, I and four
or five fellow workers left the Ha-
cienda San Jose de Vista Hermosa
situated in the once famous State of
Morelos, that state where the tragic
ally notorious Black Riders led by
the Attila of the South, Zapata, had
their quarters and committed their
depredations.
The morning was bright and
promised ideal weather, and as we
rode through the wide jungles Dor
dering the plantation, we were hap
PLY anticipating a wonderful and
home-like weekend as guests of the
manager of the Hacienda Santa Ana,
who, in his customary royal fashion,
vas going to celebrate the twelfth
birthday of his only master, his only
daughter.
After an uneventful journey dur
ing which even the horses laughed,
and, what is worse, laughed at us by
doing as they dared and pleased, and
during which we talked much,
smoked just as much and, well, they
had no blue laws down there-we
found ourselves surrounded by a
merrily cheering crowd attired in
holiday garb.
1t certainly must feel good to be
truly popular because, to tell the
truth, the little and modest crowd of
about four hundred led and ordered
out by our friend the big boss made
our hats too small. Is it not funny
how quickly the human dome, so
often so thick. can grow? Ours grew
all right, and just on account of a
little praise of the kind that f1atters.
True praise, if deserved, may be
pleasing, but not exciting, for merit
is seldom proud. But the crowd was
there and all from the big boss to
the dog catcher were making us feel
important.
The girls parents, radiant and
happy, advanced to meet us. Their
daughter Mary (this was her name)
came also, and before we had time to
exactly realize what had happened,
our lips had touched her innocent
and loving ones.
That pure soulful kiss brought to
our hearts sweet memories of the
days when mother and little sister.
then thousands of miles away, used
to greet us in such a manner, and
did so for ourselves and no more. We
did perhaps remember other kisses
more passionate and, at the time,
though sweet, rull of love and thrill

from the little girl, they were less

lRadio Corporation, New York;

MES the little body was laid to rest
and as the grave was closed, two
other funerals carrying two more
white caskets were coming up.
Down in the plains, a fourth one
with a black plain casket was ready
TO start on its last short trip. The
bells of the village were tolling.
Their sound was echoed by the
sounds of other bells tolled by
neighboring villages and ranches.
The sun hiding behind a cloud made
the surroundings look grim. Four
killed in one day in that little COM
munity of four hundred-and all,
everyone. sen away by the scorpion
who, in that district alone, and
from May to June has killed and
keeps killing many.
To finish this long story, 1 will
say that a little scar on my third
finger of the right hand will always
remind me there is a murderous in
sect called scorpion. Its thrust fall
ed to kill, but gave pain, much pain
and sad memories, the same sad
memories I have just now because
I think of that other innocent soul
full kiss Mary gave me, the last she
ever gave any one.
