and George Man, Monterey; Miss
Jones, of Waco; Mrs. Kate Lewis,
New York; Mrs. Ed Williams, of Du-
range, and Capt. w. H. Mealy, of
Laredo.
AS the day was dry, clear and
warm the picnickers had good tim e,
as they had a splendid view of the
mountain scenery going up. When
they reached Rinconado they got out,
visited the cave jewellers that lived
close by, examined the caves, and
their mode of living, took up the
young pappooses in their arms
and kissed them, and some of those
that had 10 children of their OVID and

mothers and adopt them as their own;
out their mothers would not part
with them. But some of the young

read the LIGHT and they were posted

was leap year, so they proposed to
the single men that if they wanted to
raise pappooses, all they had to do
was to 60 to the church and get mar

Just at that time the conductor hal

in and about the city, and then re.

City of Mexico. On arrival IN this
city they were met by band of music
and escorted TO the hotel. Many of

pleasantest pic mic that they ever at

many obligations to Mrs. E. r. Glass,
who got 1t up and who chaperoned
them to Saltillo and back.

There Is large number of tourists,
and persons, who have lost their
health, stopping at the Topo Chico
Hot Springs. A few days ago we
took a run out for breath, and when
we reached the National Depot,
where we met the dummy train, so
great was the rush of people that
Major Randall had to put on extra
cars. We met DR.. G. F. Brookes,
who goes to the springs daily, ana
he informed US that there are more
people visiting the springs at this
time than ever known before.
