TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING
M ORE deadly than the deadliest
Mauser and as swift as a
German Zeppelin are tho
poisoned arrows of the Yaqui
Indians, against whom the
Mexicans havo waged relentless wat
for more than a century, says tho Bos
ton Transcript.
Yaqui bows are made of black palm
wood, which 13 extraordinarily hard;
the arrows are long and sharp and so
poisoned as to cause certain death
In from three to seven days, but only
after the most. horrible torture, dur
ing-which the patient raves, eats and
gnaws his own flesh, beats his head
against the wall or ground and so dlos.
No antidote for tho poison has ever
been discovered. According to-an old
Spanish record, early settlers in Mexi
co tried by promises and threats to
perslihde the Indians to give them a
recipe.,for it, hut could not provail
until they had wounded a Ynqui they
had'taken, and then gave him liberty
to go abroad to seek his remedy. They
observed that he gathered two herbs,
which he stamped and pounded se
verally, drank tho juice of one, and
injected the other into his wound; but
first he opened, the wound and drow
out the barbs of the arrow, which,
infinitesimally fine and thin, aro left
in the fleBh after the shaft is taken
out; for unless tho wound bo first
cleared thereof, the horb can have
no effect In this manner the Indian
cured himself, but the novice has had
only varying results, as none but the
Indian knowB tbe art of clearing the
wound. "They cumber the earth,"
said Lord Amherst on a certain mem
orable occasion of our own truculent
Senecas. • "They cumber the earth,"
said his exeeileney, President Diaz,
whqn speaking of tho Yaquis. So tho
unwritten edict went forth that tho
Yaquis should be exterminated, after
they proved refractory to all softening
influences of civilization.
Don't Like Americans.
Being unable to either civilize or ex
terminate them after nearly a century
of endeavor, Mexico graciously sold
to Americana almost exclusively min
ing, and other concessions within the
disputed territory, a fact which prob
ably accounts for tho Yaquis’ suddon
"change of heart” towards Americans.
Indeed, until within tho past flfteon
years, a visit to the Yaquis was consid
ered: an interesting and by no means
hazardous excursion by tho younger
men of our navy while cruising or sur
veying In tho Gulf of California. Tho
YaqUis would always recolvo their vis
itors with perfect Indian hospitality,
regale them with the best they had
and show thorn excellent shooting.
The only descriptions wo havo of
the coast villages of the coast tribes,
situated as they are amid swamps and
lagoons which render them well-nigh
inaccessible, are duo to tho accounts
which the Jolly sailor boys have loft
of their outings on shore. Curiously
enough alBO, the armistices wjjich
have been concluded and the attempts
which have been mado from timo to
time to make peace between the Mex
ican government and tho Yaquis have
nearly always been initiated and car
ried on by American adventurers and
prospectors across tho border, tho
YaquiB refusing consistently to admit
Mexicans within their villages, oven
when they came suing for peace and
bringing presents.
The strongholds of tho Yaqui valley
and the fastneBseB of the Sierra which
they aro defending with such stubborn
valor, as to command the admiration
of tie Mexican officers who have had
/light them are full of copper mines
and deposits of other precious orcB,
attractive to the commercial spirit of
the ago, and the present era of ill-feel
ing against the American settler^
there is undoubtedly due to what the
Yaquis regard aB unwarranted tres
passing upon their domain, since they
cannot read and do not recogniza the
Mexican rulers’ right to sell mining
and other concessions within the terri
tory which that government haB never
conquered. Another reason for the
cooling off of friendly relations bo-
tween our navy and the YaquiB is that
on several occasions in the course of
tho revolutions that have.been going
on for so long Americans have per
mitted Mexican generals to secure
strategio advantages by transporting
their troops over our territory from El
Faso to Nogales. How great a factor
this Is In the present situation can
best be understood by those who know,
the Yaquis—not ono of whom has over
turned traitor, though every one of
them, from tbe moment of his capture
to tho day of his execution by the Mex
ican authorities, has been tempted to
betray bis tribe with offers of gold,
Invaluable treasures, and life itself.
With few exceptions, all the prisoners
taken by the government since tho
war with the Yaquis began in 1826
have been butchered.
All Stubborn Fighters.
As far back as the days of Monte
zuma the Yaquis were famous for their
running prowess, and a corps of them
is said to have been retained to bring
from tho "Vormlllon Seas,” as the Pa
cific was called by tho Aztecs, fresh
fish from the shores of the hot coun
try to tbe capital on the temperate
tablelands, and If the old Spanish
chronicles can be relied upon, It would
seem that, thanks to the relays of
fleet-footed Yaquis, Montezuma was
able to get fresher fish than did the
residents of Mexico City in the days
of their greatest prosperity, civiliza
tion and railroads, in the regime of
General Diaz.
Tho Yaqui warrior Is a noble figure.
His freo and open gait Is like that of
an Olympian victor carrying off tbe
prize, rathor than tho lope of our own
redskin.
Besides being a stubborn fighter and
swift runner, the Yaqui is a sturdy
worker, though it would seem that
they work not to amass wealth but
ammunition. They are splendid ngrl
culturists and expert pearl dlvera, not
hesitating even with tho most primi
tive weapons to grapple with a man-
eating shark 30 feet beneath the sur
face of tho pleasant-looklng.but dan
gerous waters of tho Gulf.
There is no organization among the
Yaquis except that part of the tribe
that lives practically freo and conducts
the warfare. This hostile contingent
recognizes rule by tho elders, who in
turn are elected for a single campaign.
In the effort.to punish the Yaqui de
predations in the past two - decades,
thousands of Mexican troops havo
been killed and wounded and yet not
one Yaqui stronghold has ever boon
captured.
From time to time for nearly a cen
tury It has been reported that the
Yaquis have been quelled by tbe Mex
icans, but that is only because the
Yaqui ammunition gave out. They
replenished their ammunition and
were ready to renew the warfare again.
When preparing for battle tbe Yaqui
have a way of digging round holes in
which they plant poisoned arrows,
lightly covered with leaves and a lit
tle earth on top, then trapping the
enemy to this unique torpedo bed.
Tibetans Will Not Be Denied the Joys
That Accrun From the Sense
of Bargaining.
"Mornln’ time, bargain time!" calls
out one of the peddlers by the wuy-
8ide'ln Tibet cheerfully as ho secs
you returning from a glimpse of the
snows at sunrise. You bid him come
to you, and from one of tho innumer
able pockets concealed in his volu
minous robe he will produce a perfect
little jade cup, or a Tibetan coffee
pot, or gold copper nnd precious
stones, or perhaps a huge lump of
rough turquoise hewn to look liko a
couch with a tiny gold Buddha reclin
ing ou it.
Then comes the bargaining, in which
he and all his friends take part against
your single self.
It can all be done by signs and
Bmlles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at a very reasonable
price. . .
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. It is an elementary
part of these people’s nature, and the
Joy of selling will leave them forever
when the day of haggling is dono.
