THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 22, 1012
(Copyrlsht. 1912, by Frank U. Carpenter )
IXCO, Guatemala. I am wri-
ins this in the little Indian
town of Mlxco. situated on one
of the foothills of the Volcano
d( Aqua. In the heart of the
Guatemalan tcpubllc. 1 have
como here from Guatemala City on mule- 1
back, and I am on niv way to Antigua,
the ruined capital, which was founded by
Alvarod, and was a great city when Hus
ton was still more than cowpaths.
Mlxco Is atogrethcr Indian. It has. per
haps. 1,000 Inhabitants, who live In low
one-storied buildings mmlo of bricl; and
atone, covered with stucco mid painted
In all the colors of the rainbow. The
main housos are around a plaza, on which j
the stores face and where there Is a big
church, a city hall nnd a fountain which '
Is painted bright blue. On the porch of
the city hall arc piles of Indian packs '
which the porters have left there for the'
night, and on the stones of the plasn
scores of Indians have squatted aroun l '
little fires and are cooking their suppers.
Each man has a pot or pan resting o er '
the ooals, nnd when ho has finished hU
cooking he will Join one of the parties of,
his fellows who are eating hero out In
the open. The men cook their own meals i
and all eat together. On the other side
of the pLaxa I can see women cooking , othcis have bits of gold and nuggets of
In the sumo way. They will eat by them- silver. Coral beads are common, and
solves, although some. I am told, are many girls have heavy silver crosses
the wives of the men opposite. which they will not sell to strangers.
Theso people belong to the class of In-j The men wear shirts, coats and trou
dian porters which Is to be found every- sers. Those on the road have queer over
whero In Guatemala, and of whom I met . coats with loose sleeves. Tho coats aro
hundreds on my way up to Mlxco. ; Kpnt up at th0 gllleSi under them Is

But first let ma tell you something of, another apron seems to kiss the man's
the Indians of this part of Central Amer-jcalfs at .tie back, ,1 see some Indians In
I lea. The bulk of the red men have al- ( bare legs who wear bucIi overcoats. They
ways lived south of our boundaries. The have hats of straw of a sugar loaf shape
most of tho inhabitants of Mexico are 1 and as they trot over the country- they
made up of them, and they there number
millions. There aro now at least 1,600,000
pure Indians In Guatemala, and this Is
five or six times aa many as we havo In
' our country. Some authorities say that
the territory covered by the United States
never had more than 300,000 aborigines,
while parts of these south lands were
more thickly populated than any part of
Europe at the time of the discovery of
- A merle.
Tho Indians of Guatemala have always
been many. The climate Is fine, the soli
Is fertile and It Is far easier to get a liv
ing here than In the colder parts of tho
' union. I havo already written of th
ruins of Qulrlgua, which nre now being
uncovered by our American nrchoologtsts
There aro other ruined cities In other
parts of Guatemala, and the evidences
are that we once had a great civilisation
hero made up of the ancient Toltecs or
Mayans, who were the great race or
Klexteo about 1,000 years aftor Christ,
but who were driven south by the Aztecs
Into Guatemala and the republics nearer
' the Isthmus of Panama.
These people have never been fighters
like our Indians. They have been rather
farmers than hunters, and today they
, are engaged In tilling the soil and In
laboring for the whites,
I am told there are eighteen different
tribes of them In this country, and there
are at least six tribes to be found among
the Inhabitants of this town of Mlxco. .
These arc the Itras, Mopans, Pokonlans, ,
Chols, Pokonchl nnd tho Lacandons
These tribes all come from Maya stock,
and they are the descendants of those
who lived In Mexico long before Cortez
came.
Short nnd Anemic.
The Guatemalan Indians seem to be
smaller and weaker than the copper-colored
population of the United States. The
average height of the; men is under five
feet and there are many women here .
who could walk under my arm. They
look anemic, and I am told that some
of them are clay eaters. They have a
kind of yellow earth mixed Ith sulphur
which they consider a dainty, and when
they go upon pilgrimages they find
images made of this earth at the shrines
and eat them, thinking that they thereby
word off disease.
The faces of the Indians are a little
lighter In color than those of the Sioux
or Choctaws, and some of tho men have
thin, straggling beards. I doubt whether
ony one ever shaves. Iloth men and
women are very straight, and the women
even more so than the men. This prob
ably comes from their carrying burdens
on their heads, They will put fifty or a
hundred pounds there and go off on a
trot. The women do not bend back as
,, they walk, and the movement Is al
most altogether from the hlpa downward,
although most of them swing the arms as
they go.
Qurrr Coatniur.
These Indiuns have never dressed like
ours, and today they wear clothes rather
than blankets. Both men and women de
light In bright colors, and the girls have
waists which are gayly embroidered In
red, yellow anu blue, and tonic have
sashes of rainbow hues. The dross of the
woman usually consists of three pieces.
First she has a long cloth wound around
her waist and legs, reaching to below the
Jmees. Above this Is the Julpll, or shirt,
which Is richly embroidered and of as
many colors as Joseph's coat. The shirt
comes down over the. cloth, and a gaudy
'belt or sash holds the two garments to
Igethor. The women have luxuriant hair
and they wear It In two long braids down
their backs. In some places they tie up
the hair and In other they have head
bands which are wound around the head
several times and tied In a knot over the
forehead.
All of the women are fond of Jewelry,
and a woman often carries her savings In
the shape of silver and gold ornaments
with which she decorates her person.
Bom have necklaces of silver coins and

remind one of the brigands of tho stage
Iiullnn Porter.
These Indians are the chief freight car
riers of Guatemala, nnd they do all the
work on the plantations. The porters ore
like those of Korea, In that they belong
to a profession which descends from
father to son. Longer than man can re
member they havo carried tho baggage
nnd produce of Guatemala from one part
of the country to the other, and I am
told that they .can trot along with ISO
pounds on their backs at the, speed of a
mule.
I have seen hundreds of these porters
on my way through the country. They are
to be found on every roadway, and they
arc of all ages, from llttlo boys of 10, to
giayheiids of 60. In romlnrc bote to
Mlxco T passed many bearing great loads
of clay jars. Kach Jar would hold per
haps two or three gallons, and a nmn
would have a score of them In a crate, so
piled up that they rose high above his
head, and so that ho was half bent as he
trotted along. I saw boys of 6 with two
or three such Jars and children of not
more than 4 carrying bundles over
the road.
At the capital I passed an Indian car
gador carrying an Iron plate two feet
wide, four feet long and two inches thick,
ft must have weighed more than 150
Punns. u was tied to the man s shoulders
and he was trotting along. It is said that
tho IndinnK are obliged to carry loads for
traveling upon demand If they aro paid
for their service. Tho local official
supply them, but they can force them to
go only a two-day Journey from home,
and the load must not be more than 100
pounds.
As to speed, these porters will make
five or six miles an hour. In coming here
we pushed along aa rapidly as wo could

notwithstanding wo went on the trot.
Murli I,lkr Japan.
I wish you could seo the country scenes
of Guatemala. Those on tho main roads
which lead Into the enpttnl remind one of
the Tokoido of Jnpan. They are thronged
with traffic, which moves along like so
many caravans of queerly dressed people,
quaint carts and wagons nnd beasts of
burden of various kinds. There are many
carts drawn by oxen, which pull them
along by yokes tied by straps to their
horns. They push against the yoke In
going up hill and pull back In going down.
The yoke l so tightly fastened to the
head that the animal cannot move It,
nnd the files eat away unmolested.
And then there are donkeys with packs
on their backs, and this never-ending pro
cession of Indians loaded with freight
There are groups of women with bags
and trays on their heads, all trotting
along through the dust. Now and then
you see a party resting by the wayside,
and at nightfall you may see their little
fires where they have struck camp till
daybreak.
Indian rilurl muxm.
These Indians nre religious. I find them
In every church and see them kneeling at
every shrine. They give more of their
earnings to the Lord than do the whites,
and they are the chief support of the
churches. Every one of their towns has
Its church, and it Is often bigger than
all of the other houses combined. They
are superstitious, They carry waxen Im
ages around upon saint days, tho whole
population kneeling as the procession
goes by
They believe to a certain extent in
witch doctors, and when they get any
disease they do not understand, they
straightway think themselves bewitched
und get a medicine man to euro them.
The latter mutters some mysterious words
over the patient and usually searches the
bed -upon which ho lies, finding an Image
he has put there. He shows this to the
patient and tells him It U ths cause of
His Ikmlly
his sickness, demanding his fee, which he
Beta.
The Hoses of Hell.
Another n,ucr superstition is as to Hip
'roses of hell." or certain flowers which
grow on a tree on the slopes of the Vol
cano de Agun. These flowers look not
unlike roses, but they are of wood and
bark in the outlines of a flower. The
petals nre similar to those of a half-blown
rose and their Insldes are curved with
lines which appear to be carved. Pome
of tho blossoms are twelve Inches wide.
I have bought some of theeo flowers and
am taking them home as a curio. They
have no sap and no odor and the bloom
seems to be bark or wood.
The Indians call these flowers the "roses
of hell," and . they say that It they aro
soaked in tea they will yield a poison
which Is sure to bring death. They hold
tho flower In terror and Itave a tradition
that when the volcano onco overflowed
and hurnca n city under It nothing was
left except these trees.
The Tnltef nihlr.
Mixed with tho hellof of these Indians
aro many superstitions which have come !
down from thrlr ancestors. Tho Toltecs
had a religion of their own and there Is (
In tlie public llbrnry at Chichi Csstcnango'
what Is wild to be the only copy extant
of the Toltec Hlble. This deals with the
origin of man and tlie creation. It speaks
of tlirce coils, one of whom was an In
dian whose name was "Tho Hearing
Wind," a second "The Powerful Creator"
and a third "Tlie Plumed Berpcnt." These
thrro gods made everything, Including
man. They created the heavens and tho
earth and tho waters under the earth and
all that Is In them. I am told that this
book describes the delugo and that It hn
a story much like the confusion of tongues
at the Towor of Babel.
It relates that after this time man be
gan to travel and that the best of man-
klnd came to Mexico and built cltlea. 1
have not seen the manuscript, but tho re
port comes from a missionary and Is
doubtless correct.
The Indians are peaceable and not at
all dangerous to travelers. They are very
Ignorant and their chief vice Is drunken
nesa I have seen them reollng along the
load way and lying drunk by the sides of
tho road almost everywhere during my
travels throujrh the Interior. At every
mile there Is a rude drinking place anl
near the cities such saloons may be found
nt every fow hundred yards. Tlie Indians
on tho roadway almost Invariably have
bottles of brandy with them. This Is of
the sort known as "White Eye." It Is
made of sugar and is deadly.
Prnntlrnllr Slave.
The labor of Guatemala, as I have said,
Is almost altogether Indian, and In many
eases It Is a little better than slavery.
Peonage Is nominally abolished In that
a man cannot Inherit a debt from his
parents nor can he be forced to work
out debts contracted before he comes of
age. On the other hand be can go Into
debt himself and If he docs so he Is
forced to stay on the plantation where
the debt Is contracted until he works It
out. I have before me a contract be
tween n planter and one of his Indian
lnborers. This provides that he must
work out personally any by dally wage
any debt which he contracts. He must
do this after tho custom of the plantation
work out personally and by dally wage
and must stay on the plantation until It
Is paid without his employer gives him a
written permission to leave.
Another provision Is that he runs away
he must pay all the expenses necessury
to get him back and must subject him
self to nil tho laws relating to laborers,
Debts are usually supposed to be paid
not only by the man himself, but by his
family us well, all of whom nre expected
to work.
According to law a roan nrcd not work
but eleven months In the year, and he
has the right to celebrate the church
and national holidays, and he may have
a day off when there is a baptism, a
birth or a death In his family. He has
the light also to rest on his saint's (lay,
and this means the day of the saint
after whom he Is named.
The pay of the Indians Is only a few
cults a Jay. They are given fixed wugci
In the currency of the country, and the
common wage Is J2 or IS, hut II Guate
malan are equal to 12 cents American,
and 13 to 18 cents. Many men are em.
ployed at 10 cents and IS cents a day,
and of the 12 cents a part often Koes
to the official who makes the contract
to furnish the Indians.

to glvo a certain amount of their work
to whomsoever they please. A German
planter who needs labor has only to

The Indians are densely Ignorant ami
they have no Idea of what their rights
are. They have been In their present
; condition or worse ever iJiico the Span-
lards conquered the country, and there
seems to bo no present prospect of their
getting out of it. The rulo of Spain
lasted three centuries, and during It tho
natives were the slaves of the Spaniards.
If they rebelled they wero kilted without
mercy and the Inquisition aided the gov

In addition to the descendants of the
ancient Mayans there are other Indian
in Central America. The Indians of Pan
ama have thctr own peculiar customs and
ways, and there Is one tribe In Guate-
1 mala which Is said to be like no other on
tho continent. 1 have not sein them, for
their home is in the backwoods Jungle
of the tropical coast lauds. The people
are almost black and are somewhat like
the Papuans. They have small calves,
but powerfully developed chests and
arms. They go almost naked and the
children entirely no. They dwell In mi
lages built In the tree tops. They take
three or four cocoa palms and make a
platform In them about thirty feet from
, the tx6 roofing It with thatch. The
floor Is reached by climbing, which men,
women nnd children do with agility. It
Is said that tho toes of these people are
abnormally developed by climbing. They

Nnturally, In her generous mood, hIio
can't possibly figure out on that list whom
it would be advisable to strike out. Hut
If Mr. Pohl had his way he would tako a
blue pencil nnd go through It without
mercy.
Hut lot having Hint opportunity Mr.
Pohl, who Is n luipp.v . generous man, with
an appreciation of the festive occasion,
thought out another way which will cur
tall expenditures which his wlfo might
entail for gifts.
Mr. Pohl Inserted an advertisement In a
Brooklyn newspaper, saying that he would
not be responsible for Ills wife's debts, It
took a lot of nerve to do this. Mrs. Pohl's
friend were startled when they read this
In the newspaper-
MY wife, Catherine Pohl. receives ample
funds to pay cash for all her needs. I
will therefore not bo responslblo for any
accounts she may contrnct for A W J,
Pohl. l&li Klatbiish aenu.
Mr. Pohl. who remembers the old-time
Chrtstmascs and lows the very lden of a
tree with whiteness ond sparkles, did not
resolvo to advertibe In this mannr until
he was awaro tliat the list his wife hadi
written out this year was longer than
ever. Toward the end of November, when
sho started mentioning the 'festive occa
sion, Mr. Pohl became somewhat gloomy
at the Ideas of tlm here and tips there,
of those to th butcher's boy, othors to
the servants, some to the office employes
and topped off With this over-lncreaslnff
list which Mrs. Pohl male out.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Pohl are known among
their many friends as an affectionate cou
ple. Hence the advertisement wns a pus
zle to those who knew Mr. and Mrs. Pohl.
The couple hae bern married sixteen
years sixteen Phrlstmsseg. They havo n
son 15 years old snU n daughter 4 yrars
old. Huth hav to have Christmas pres
ents from father and motlwsr and give
presents to father and mother and sev
eral of their little frlenda And all this
Mr. PolU has to settle for. Hence tho en
Joyment at receiving a necktie, a shaving
inur; or a box. of cigars Is somewhat
rubbed off when tlw bills come around.
"My wile gives too man presents each
Christmas," said Mr. Pohl. "I muy luive
noted hastily In publishing the notice, but
that is the reason, and It stands. 1 do
not regret It. I nearly decided to do It
last year. It Is a warning. 1 heartily
favor Christmas giving, but there Is a
limit to everything." He added that he
did not believe his wife had more thun 150
names on her list. New Tork Herald.
