Ed much but he will have lots of fun. He Is now priming his old flint lock and waiting for the law to be out, to begin operations. The unusual warm summer weather we have experienced during the month ot May has aroused the professional fisherman of Post C. Little else is heard among these sportsmen than rods, reels, tackle, etc. In little groups these fishermen gather and discuss everything from the finest steel rod and Shakespeare reel down to the hundred and one different hooks. Amidst this group and most prominent appears always Jim Lewis, champion angler in T. P. A. circles. Jim Is not only posted on fishing outfits but can talk Intelligently and incessantly on any subject put up to him. Politics, religion, literature are his chief topics of conversation and he never overlooks a chance to lead off on any one of the subjects when give nthe opportunity. But if he loves to talk about one thing more than another that one thing is fishing. For thirty days he has kept up a continuous long distance talk on fish, their habits snd peculiarities. He talks with anyone and everyone and if no one Is la reach he talks to himself. Only the other day at Lynn, Jim was hanging around the station waiting for a train when his thoughts began to wander to his favorite pastime. Before long he had seated himself on the edge of the platform, which Is rather high and In a short time imagined himself fishing with all his might. Occasionally he would jerk up both arms with such a vim that the motion soon attracted a large crowd around him. Unconscious of the crowd Jim continued his fishing In great glee. He would argue with himself aloud as to the better and scientific way of doing everything from casting the line to turning the reeL Once he shouted with all his vocal force. "Shorty for goodness sakes keep quiet I can't catch fish with you talking all the time. If you don't want to fish keep still snd get out of the boat" Another time he was heard to say: "Charlie don't you ever work? Can't

While Jim was exposing his fish thoughts a still larger crowd of villagers was gathering and in the crowd came the town marsball. In awe and fear, the crowd and the marshal stood back of Jim. They would glance from one to another and occasionally a man could be heard to say: "Too bad the fellow's lost his mind. He was so intelligent once." The marshal could restrain himself no longer. With kindness and a touch of sadness in his countenance he stepped up to the imagining fisherman and laid his hand gently on Jim's shoulder. He would lock him up for safe keeping. But his touch had broken the spell. Jim was again the intelligent Jim as before. He wondered at the crowd and could not guess its meaning. When told of his actions he picked up his catalogue case and started down the track toward Fountain City perhaps in search of a better place to fish. Al Mendenhall, state chairman of hotel committee, is planning a campaign that has for its object the betterment of all the hotels in Indiana. After thirty-five years traveling up and down the dusty roads ot Indiana, Al has concluded there are a few hotels that need a little touhcing up. The boys on the road making the smaller towns are willing to have some ot the hostelries improved if only in a slight way. Even some of the hotels in some of the larger towns need improvement In some of the so-called swell hotels the roller towels are still playing to crowded houses. As Abe Martin says, the most notable thing to him outside the automobile racers in Indianapolis was the old roller towels. The roller towel that does service from Monday morning till Sunday night without ever stopping to roC. must roll off the wall and in its place individual towels must appear, Mr. Hotel-man, the cost is no more, so down with the roller towel. Post C's delegates to the national convention are as busy as bees these days.- All their spare time is being spent in cleaning their clothes, darning their socks, and pressing out the

Mexican life; For Majority Seems to be One Long Dream

Mexico City, June 3. Edith Wagner, writing in the Mexican Herald, says: It was while we were living in Lagos, a city on the high plateau of Mexico, that we first became acquainted with Leonor. Leonor was undersized for eleven; his skin is brown shaded to a smoky black around the forehead and ears and neck; the whites of his black eyes are yellowish and the eye itself has a glazed look; his nose is large and flat and his lips are thick; he wears a shirt and trousers of unbleached cotton I have often wondered what becomes of him when they are being washed and dried, as they are occassonally to hold up his trousers and serve as a pocket he wears a red cotton sash; he doe"9not have underwear, but canrlesin tlwSvinter, folded over one rhtmlafrr readjFfor use, a red or striped wool ea- fcl a a ketjarhi c h passes the summer at thaitawnshop. Leonor rise-tfbout the time the sun does, ajstarts at fcrte to his work. He does not,haatoutton shoes, put on clothe ir wlffe his face; he rises from a strr jam slips the thongs of his sandals between his bare toes, tightens the red cotton sash about his empty stomach &nd behold him ready for the day. After he has worked a couple of hours he will get his breakfast furnished to him by Dona Marquita, his employer, a hardfaced scolding woman of the peon class, who by chance has acquired a little land and is building on i houses lt rent Rare is the Gout It is not likely that Leonor will ver suffer from gout on account of his breakfasts, which are, day in and day out a small olla (a pudgy earthen vessel) full of a weak solution of burnt coffee sweetened with a chunk of piloncilla (refuse sugar) and cooled with a little goat's milk; three or four tortillas, each containing a spoonful of black boiled beans fried" in lard. He sits on the ground with the rest of

WANTED Quick repairing neatly done by A. J. Ford, Cunningham's Shoe store. 3-7t the men, and after he has secured the last bean and the last drop, he goes to work again, promptly, for Dona Marquita is at hand to prod him should he loiter over his sumptuous meal. His work is hard; he carries on his head, hour ter hour, a wooden trough filled with mud. He walks under this load with a wide, straddling gait anything but beautiful. Leonor is the stuff of which cargardores are made, those husky Mexican porters, who are fabled to carry pianos. With this heavy trough on his head he has to mount by a ladder the adobe wall, where one of the men lifts it from his head, giving him it empty to carry back to the mud hole the mud being uced to cement enormous sun dried bricks adobes. Then comes the siesta; he is a poor man, indeed, who has not over an hour for his noonday sleep. Then Leonor Is allowed to go home, and then it is he gets the principal meal of the day. It is always too hot to play, for even the little green lizards that love the sun will at that baking hour take shelter in the cracks of the adobe walls. It must be confessed that Leonor's avoidance of the sun is due more to bis mother's caution than his own, for he would love to chase the tiny jewel-like lizards and see their tail drop off when they are struck; but his thrifty mother Don Juana thinks the sun causes the pioos to multiply in his head, and she would never allow him that pleasure, for it is hard to spare the 12 cents asked by Dona Concha, the professional vermin exterminator, when the poll jos are only multiplying in the shade. All For Three Cents a Day Leonor lives hard by In a jacal a cane hut plastered with mud. There he will find his mother cooking the dinner over and handfull of charcoal. The little earthen pots simmering over the fire contain caldo, a very weak cabbage soup, and frijoVes. and sometimes sopa rice cooked with tomatos

and onions. His aunt win be baking

the tortillas. ; The tortilla la the Mexi-; can staff of life; it is used as spoon and napkin also, and it does 'simplify housekeeping to be able to eat yonr spoon and napkin. " After eating. Leonor can take his well earned siesta, if his mother does not want water drawn. His anxious eyed, hard worked mother, as a rule, secures submission, though by dint of hard scolding. Dona Juana Is a little brown woman, cot over thirty, and looking like an old woman only for her milk white teeth and heavy black braids. She will tell you she has only five boys living, she had ten all boys. The other five "had died of their stomachs." It is necessary they , all work for they have no father, and there are many mouths to feed. I never asked where the father was. It does not do to be too inqutsttive in Mexico. It Is conservative to say that not two out of five Mexican women of the lower class have aid from the father In rearing their children. All bring home their weekly wages except Pepe; he is sixteen, and. being a man, has cut himself off from petticoat government. It Is a pity, too, for his daily wages are princely. amounting to IS cents, American money. It Is the sum of his brothers' earnings, for little Migual who screens the corn all day at the corner grocery, receives but three cents. A Heaven of Cockfights Sunday is a day ot amazing possi bilities. Sometimes Leonor can get something to do at the bull ring to gain admittance wait on the lordly bull fighters or carry water to the horses, although not much attention Is paid to the poor old horses destined to be gored by the tortured bulls. If Leonor manages to get a seat for the fight his cup of joy is full. He screams himself hoarse applauding the bull or the matadol and it, after the fight is over and the band is playing the last gay danza, he finds a good uncle in the crowd swarming out, to give him a glass of pulque or a cigarito, made with a corn husk wrapper, the cup is running over. He goes home a hero and relights the fight and shows his brothers bow it was done and how it should have been done. If nothing else offers he ends his Sunday at the plaza, walking round and round the big garden with the bronze statues and yellow roses, keeping strictly to the outside walk where the peons are only allowed to walk. Leonor loves music and he likes crowds to push about in during fiesta times. He listens to the orchestra, for there is always one playing somewhere in a Mexican town. One way and another he has a good deal of music. When people have parties they generally leave their windows open, and if the room is on the ground floor he has but the iron bars between him and the festivities, and he is willing to stand half the night his face pressed to the bars listening to the music and watching the dancing. Leonor can not read nor write and -he does not do too much thinking, or else he has a wonderful amount of reserve. I asked him once where he thought he was going when he died. He answered. "In the ground." "But,I said, "you don't stay. there, do you?" He looked as solemn and as stupid as a little burro and explained that if he had some one to pray him out he would go to inferno. I once insisted on knowing what bis idea of heaven was. It was a beautiful place, prettier than the plaza when, decked with tissue flags for September 16; no cold or hunger there; all the pork stews and dulces you could eat, all the pulque you could drink, all the cigarros you could smoke, no work nothing to do but go to hull fights and cock fights and play peleta, and always there was playing a band as good as the Banda de Zepalores. WORK TROOPS HARD San Antonio, Tex., June 3. If those people who saw immediate intervention in Mexico when the United . States troops were mobilized at FortSam Houston some weeks ago could ' visit the camp now and ind only' enough men there to guard it and look after sanitary conditions, they ' would change their belief. While It is a fact that Southwest Texas has experienced more wet weather since the soldiers came than In any like period in the history of this country, it is also true that the army has been kept busy since Its arrival here regardless of weather conditions. Just now the entire division is away on a hike to Leon Springs, all departments being kept busy in working out military problems. These marches try out the men In a most emphatic way and determine, too, just how much in the line of hard work the soldiers of the United States army can endure. In some the marches made men who have been in the extreme north for several years have gone down under the vigor of the sun . In this semitropical climate. In fact in one march the ambulances were practically filled before the close of the day with soldiers who had grown faint marching in the burning sunshine. But these men are rapidly becoming acclimated and during the grilling march yesterday in the shade of more than-80 degrees, only four men took to the ambulances, and it is said two ot these were suffering from ill-fitting shoes rather than fatigue. Another noticeable thing about the mobilization here is the splendid health of the men. General Carter has used every precaution to guard against attack by disease. The camp is kept absolutely clean, in fact no city of 15,000 people in the country is as sanitary in every detail as the mobilization camp. Kitchens and eating quarters are all screened to keep the files away and in the bakery section, where the great portable ovens are kept busy, the temperature is usually so high that flies make themselves scarce. When one observes what is going on in - the camp and the thorough seasoning the men are getting, it becomes more apparent that more efficiency in the fighting force, and not . lnterventiom was the object of the mobilization. v
