parable to the valley Of Salt Lake in
Utah, from the southern end of that
sheet of water. Like that valley it is
surrounded by noble mountains, snow
capped This seems a small area to
be the home of several fiercely con-
tending nations, but such it was in
fact. There are misty accounts of a
civilization there, and to the south

century of our era, which was in some
respects at least of higher grade than

But some cause swept that away, and
the authentic part of American history
begins in 1925, when the AztecS, hard
pressed by warlike neighbors, estab-
lished themselves on the swan1py
shores and on some low island in the
lake.
In the midst of this swamp they
built their first hut-a temple-and
around it rose within three centuries
veritable Venice, though lacking a
Venetian development of art. In Cor
tez time it was said to contain 60, 600
houses and 100000 people. Around
the lake were fifty other towns, one of
which is said to have been larger than
Mexico. Aqueducts brought water
from the hill of Chepultepec, foun-
tains played in the squares, gardens
and menageries gave the city lOung-
ing-places, and canals, threaded by
thousands of canoes, contributed to
it's life. Palaces and temples literally
rose on every hand, and though the
architecture was not imposing, the eX-
tent of the former was such that the
harem contained 5000 inmates, and
one of the halls was large enough to
receive an equal number of men.
The. means by which the Aztecs rose
SO rapidly from the position of a half
fugitive people to that of a dominant
race is not well understood, though a
line Of ambitious kings and the rest
less activity of the people must ex-
plain it. Their position in the midst
of a lake made their Capital secure,
but otherwise they seem to have been
on about the same footing as their
neighbors. All were restless and war
like, all practiced cannibalism, and all
sought the favor of their bloody gods
with equal persistence. The most that
can be said is that the tribes Of the
Mexican valley fought among them
selves; that in most fights some one is
victorious, and that in Anahuac the
AZtecS were the cOnuuerOrS.-

Three Thousand Smiths.

On Wednesday last, near Peapack,
N j., there assembled some 5000
Smiths, with their families and lunch
baskets, all bent ON having right
good time, and anxious to become ac-
quainted with at least a few Of their
widespread family. The beautiful
grove near Peter Z. Smiths house,
and in the picturesque valley Of the
North Branch" of the Raritan, had
been the scene of busy labor for days,
and on the eventful morning its results
were seen and appreciated in the form
of EMPOWERED arbors, a speakers and
band stand, tall liberty pole, many
ranges of benches, and long lines of
substantial tables, all draped with
flags, bunting and evergreens. .J g
AS early as three O'Clock in the
morning, Smiths of all ages and con-
ditions in life began to appear upon
the scene; journeying from every di-
rection and in all conceivable convey
ances, from the broken old farm
wagon and it's spawned horse to the
stylish buggy with it's handsome span
Then began one of the funniest series
Of introductions ever seen. Mr..
Smith, from York State, was made
acquainted with Smith of California.
He Of Brooklyn and he of the *
Roads found pleasure in each others
society, linked by the bonds of Smith
ship. Local Smiths were designated
as Smith Of the Branch, Smith Of
Smithville, Smith from Summit,
Smith of Peapack. Of all Smith gath
erings ever held, this was the most pc
cul-ar in one particular; only one of
the John Smiths was there, and he
was nearly overlooked, being always
addressed by his middle name.
Of course, there were noisy Smiths
and quiet Smiths, bashful Smiths and
Smiths who firted desperately with
Smiths Of the opposite sex, rough, boy
Smiths and shy little girl Smiths, with
" SICttC capacity 1OL CahO, OttU dllIOllS
all the hundred Smiths there were no
drunken or roWdyish Smiths, and no
disturbance Of any kind marred the
enjoyment Of the day.
At eleven o'clock a Smith business
meeting was called, and permanent
Smith organization formed. Isaiah
Smith, of Milburn, was elected Presi-
dent; Abraham Smith, of Peapack,
Vice-President, and Oscar Smith, of
the Branch, Secretary and Treasurer.
1t was also decided to continue these
reunions of the family, to hold them
annually in the same place, and always
on the first Wednesday in September.
