One afternoon while waiting for the
train at the City of Zacatecas, one of the
most prominent cities of the Republic,
thought stroll through the cemetery,
which lay to the north of the station and
upon small hill, would perhaps be in
teresting and serve to pass away the
time. A few minutes walk brought me
TO the gate, which was made of iron and
set in huge stone pillars.
On entering the gate few Mexcans
that were enjoying their aiter-dinner
sesta half raised from their recumbent
position and looked at me as II they were
astonished to see an American invading
the city of the dead. But had seen too
many such looks to be frightened, and as
was on tour ofsight seeing, walked
boldly in. TO the right lay the bodies of
the wealthy class, as was plain to be seen
by the monuments and well kept graves.
A few OF the monuments were very
nicely carved, but the most ofthem bore
an inscription, written In Spanish. set

rows Of inscription plates showed where
the bodies were deposited. What the

bodies out without tearing down half of
