LAZV MAN'S PARADISE.
The Cut": Mild-Mannered Autocrat of
Manchuria.
(Kansas City Star.)
()n market day iii the Wesl indies
thousands of peasant women and girls
can be see walking along the roads to
the town from their palm~thatched
buts in the' mountains d woods.
They carry on their he s Immense
loads of bananas. oranges. yams, plan-
tains. brown sugar or tobacco, stepping
along at the rate of four miles an hour
with the gait of a princess.
Constant carrying of heavy loads
gives them a splendid carriage. They
will walk 40.mlles to market to sell
30 cents‘ worth of produce. Often they
'could sell the same stir! for a better
price at their homes but. they enjoy the
merry company on the road and the
fun and gossip of the market place too
much to gIVe up their weekly jaunt.
Most people think such a tramp hard
work but they regard It as a picnic.
Tramping along over rough mountain
tracks. fordlng swift rivers, tugging
fractlo‘us males in the way that the\
should go. these women neter let their
loads fall. They could dance a jig
without dropping them.
Meanwhile the men folk—who have
not even taken the trouble to sow or
harvest the crops. much less carry
them to market—are sleeping In the.
palmthatched hat or lying down in the
your patch outside and smoking the
strong native tobacco. ,
“On my estate." said a coffee plant-
er to an American friend. "I employ
about 600 people in the busy seasons.
5 besides 800 or 800 children The wo-
men outnumber the men by more than
two to one. and do far better work.
though they are only paid 18 cents a
day as compared with the men's 24
cents. The difference in wages is most
unfair but it II regulated by an iron-
bouud‘ cu‘atour." ,
