' -I One morning In June, several yeara ago. I arrived In Vera Cms. This la on of the most ancient cities of tbe "New World, aa H was founded by Cortes In 1519. It la historic to tbe last degree; and it waa there that Maximilian first set foot on Mexican oil, while the flag of four great cations Spain, Mexico, France and tbe United Ptatee have floated over Its ramparts. Mexico City is fuli of interesting, place. Jlellcs of the conqulatadores and of tbe days of Spanish rule may be aeen on every aide. History say a that about 1325 a band of Azteca was traveling through tbe Valley of Mexico. For nearly six hundred years these people had been wanderers on the face of the earth, and during all (hose centuries they, had been searching for tbe promised land a place to build a new home. Their priests had taught them that when they saw a royal eagle with ft snake in its talons alight upon a prickly pear cactus, that would be a sign that there was the place for them to build a city. And as they d were wandering through this valley they a royal eagle, perched upon a cactus, holding a serpent This Is the origin of tbe "Mexican national emblem of today. Accordingly tbey stopped, for they firmly believed that their long journey was ended. On an Island In Lake Texcoco they built a city which they called Tenochtltlan, and this Is where the City of Mextco now stands. Considering tbe centurlea that they had been homeless, the reign of tbe Aztecs over this fair land was short, for In 1519 Cortes landed In Mexico. Then began one of tbe most remarkable campaigns In all history. The great commenced bis famous march to the vttec capital, fighting battle after battle, and efcatlng hordes of savages. On November i. 1519. Cortes entered Ttnochtltlan with his little nrmy and waa welcomed by Montezuma II. The Spaniards collected a great amount of gold and other valuables which they were compelled to !oave, for on July 1, 1520. they were driven f.OTi tbe city. However, In August, tv 3 vturned, besieged the place, and on -victorious; and tha ti tior were again ihe Aztecs came to an end forever. treasures that had been left be-conquerors hnd disappeared.

This man was the commander of the viceroy's forces; but be was ambitious, and o be joined the revolutionists, helping them to throw off tbe yoke of Spain. For this he was crowned emperor of Mexico on July 25, 1S22. His reign was short, for he soon became unpopular, and on March 20, 1823, he abdicated and sailed for Europe. Mexico Is a land of churches; and over the ruins of one of tbe greatest pagan temples of the New World stands a magnificent place of, worship of the Christian religion. There, where tbe great Aztec temple that was destroyed by Cortes once stood, la now the beautiful Cathedral of Mexico. The cost of Its construction was about 12,000,000. The front 1 surmounted by two beautiful towers, about two hundred feet high, from which an excellent view of the city, with Its ' picturesque domes and great buildings, may be had; while the Valley of Mexico, famed the world over for its beauty, stretches out The famous Lake like a great ' panorama. Texcoco, tbe great castle of Chapultepec and the sacred town of Guadalupe seem Just beneath your feet Far away on the hlrn of the valley the great Popocatepetl and Ixtaccthuatl ("he Woman In White"), on the summits of which Is the land of eternal snow, rise up above the surrounding country. The cathedral Is never closed. Night and day, summer and winter, Its doors are always open, and every one, from the poorest beggar In the land to the richest man. Is welcome. There, within the walls of this beautiful palace of religion, they all gather, rich and poor, aristocrat and peon, to receive tbe bishop's blessing. On the east side of the Plaza Mayor is the National palace, which was started In 1693. This Is the seat of the national government, and within Its wall the laws which govern the people of Mexico are made. It Is on the grounds where once stood tie palace of Axaya-cat- l, ' an emperor of the Aztecs. .
