Written for the Light by Miss Tex
as"
IContinued from Sunday Light
From Monterey to TampicO is
but a days journey. In the morn
ing we pass village after village,
then immense stretches of arid
lands bright with naught but the
cactus blossoms, lifeless save a
burro here and there.
Near midday we cross the trOp-
ic-a monument of stone makes
an enduring buckle to earth's in
visible girdle.
Tropical vegetation now begins
to peep forth and finally green
things are growing everywhere
we pass" until we reach Tampi-
co-the pearl of the gulf, the
Venice of the American cont
nent.
The laguna, the bayou of the
Tamesi river, the PauncO river,
the gulf itself shuts off the land
and gives the tinted town a set
ting unto itself.
Tinted by city ordinance; blue
pink and salmon are pop
ular colors, everything
goes but white for walls,
but when it comes to shutters
and trimmings all marshal IN
der bright blue or green.
Over these hang pitched roofs
unlike any other roofs in Mexi-
co, even the verandas are differ
ent and are permitted little CO.
queries of their own-coquet-
tries as distracting as the maid
ems who slyly walk up and
down.
Maidens demure, yet bold
enough, we warrant, to throw the
one gay cavalier of their heart
throbs a tiny "beso soplado"-
just the cutest little wave of the
hand toward the lips, a kiss i'm
planted upon the closed, pressed
fingers, a spreading of each, just
a pucker of the lips, tiny blow
and presto!-fve kisses have de-
parted for the worshipping one,
the devoted "bear" beneath, who
in sunshine and rain walks be-
low and patiently awaits the
smile, the frown or secret billet
dOux from modern Juliet.
We rested while in the shad-
lest plaza of all MexicO-it repaid
us with a charming bit of life
the moving figures, the market
place with its picturesque stands,
its tropical burdens, the natives
in birch canoes gliding in quick
and alert with fruit and fish, tC
bargain and exchange.
A rustic at our feet-we spring
up in alarm TO see nothing worse
than a lizard darting forth be
yond our ken.
Well, it is time to move onward
if we are to edo" TampicO in {
day.
We visit the old Cathedral, S,
quiet and peaceful, then to tn
home of the Baptist missionary
where we spent a most delightful
half hour looking over his Gu
rios.
Many of these interesting frag
ments of pottery and gods wer
gathered about twenty-One k
lometers from Tampico, With
the ruins of an ancient Ate
city-as the ruins extend for SCI
eral miles, it must have been
populous city. Now, we were toll
only a few straw matched jaca'
cover the ground. We wish I
see the jetties so we turn fro
the progress of the past to Il
progress of the present-what
vast difference.
There is too much to see
stop for reflection or moraliziI
so we take this picturesque sire
and within few blocks desce1
by some sixty steps to the sire,
below, again past the market l
the railroad station, where "
take the cars and within a fe
moments reach the jetties; frol

lighthouse.
The jetties themselves are
more useful than picturesque,
the stretch of wall containing
half a million tons of rock made
Il safe harbor and increased the
water from eight feet to eigh-
teen feet.
Large steamers coming in add
to the interest of the scene, while
white-flecked sails upon the sea
make it complete from an artists
standpoint.
We form a mental picture as
the little teacher describes chat
day in 1910. when Americas Yes
/ pucius landed along this coats"
"He only made a report of his
visit, but describes an excellent
dinner" exclaimed the trivial
one.
! 1t made US all hungry-this
historical and ancient meal-so
back to Tampico we hurried to
refresh the inner man and to
take a little after dinner nap, for
everybody takes a "siesta" in the
land of manana, and when Gin
Rome one must do as the Romans
do" Some habits are not hard
to acquire and no place urges
such restful, dreamless SAUNDERS
as Mexico.
Manana tomorrow comes
apace. Our gay crowd board the
cars amidst chatter and clatter
and many an "adios" to kind and
new found friends.
The iron horse soon moves on
ward to the city of our day
dreams.
The City of Mexico, around
whose brow clusters garlands
of history and romance, as ro-
mantle is any ever woven by Ital-
ian or Roman bard.
We move onward from the
tierra-caliente through thiskets
of aromatic shrubs, wild orchids
and magnificent treet.
Within a couple of hours we
begin to be hedged in by noun
tains and soon reach Choy cave,
one of the interesting views along
this road of views. AS we pass
over an iron bridge we look be-
low some 200 feet and down into
the cave itself, through one Of
its massive sky lights.
We also see the '1ost river" as
it comes to light at this point,
making a pool some so by 300
feet.
Native huts are scattered far
and wide along the road, crowds
of natives greet each passing
train.
Life and nature keeps our at
tentiOn until the groves of vanil,
la, indigo, coffee and cocoa dis,
appear.
, We have assembled some 1900
, feet and reached the vegetation
of the temperate zone.
The scenery has become grand
even terrible in its moods and in
/ tensity.
We skirt the mountains along
} deep gOrges and sweep the base
e of mighty mountains that once
=, CLEANED with volcanic fire. Peep
] ing into unfathomable ravine'
= we catch a glimpse of caves ant
running brooklets or the enamel
: led vegetation of the tropics.
e We have reached the gorge o
l. Tamasopo-the straight line b,
n the tortuous trail.
C Between tunnels the railroa,
z bed clings to the sides of tn
a mountains, but parallel with tn
], river which sparkles and glisten
Is like a thread of silver-a thou'
o and feet below US lies the strear
n and a thousand feet above u
lie rests some tiny cloudlet agains
a the summit of a peak. FrOl
Prospect point we can see th
% track in four places, each on
g different level.
ct Man has indeed accomplishe
d wonders. Could work be sma
ct or mind grovel in the mil
% midst such scenes?
,e Feeling the nothingness {
" matter, the spirit would seek ii
n hniohtS-nnWard and INWARD.

Resemblance Comes with Old Ago.

Gage brings out family likenesses or re-
senblance as nothing else can or will"
replied scientist who has given much at
tention to the study Of physiology and its
running mate, physiognomy. "1n the or
dinary life of a man or woman they are so
much occupied by other things-that is,
with the pleasures, passions or business of
the world-that they do not show any Of
the lineaments of their parents. When
old ago comes on them, however, they
show many Of the resemblances Of the par
ent stock. Take your own circle, for H.
lustration.
'If you are old enough to remember the
parents of any of your friends or relatives,
you will notice that as they in turn grow
old the family likenesses come out. There
are, of course, some people who have the
general features and appearances Of their
parents, and in many cases of both father
and mother, though in most cases Of but
one, and that most likely Of the father, In
their youth and through life. There are
others, though, who had none OF tho
marked family likenesses until they
reached an advanced age. By this mean
so years or SO. In many cases persons
havo shown in their faces none Of the fam
lily likenesses until they reached very ad-
vanced ages, and it grows more and more
marked as they leave the milestones Of age
behind them. Washington Star.

SALUTED By THE ENEMY.
A Queer Bit Of Courtesy From tho Con
federAtes at Chattanooga.

A Queer BIT OF Courtesy From the Non-
federates at Chattanooga.
As soon az communication had been
opened with our base of supplies General
Grant manifested on cagerness to acquaint
himself minutely with the position of the
enemy, with a view to taking tho Often
sive. One morning he started toward our
right with several staff officers, to make a
personal examination of that portion of
the line. When he came in sight of Chat
tanooga creek, which separated our pickets
from those of the enemy, he directed those
who had accompanied him to halt and re.
main out of sight while he advanced alone,
which he supposed he could do without at
tracting much attention.
The pickets were within hailing distance
Of one another on opposite banks Of the
creek. They had established a temporary
truce on their own responsibility, and the
men of each army were allowed to get wa
ter from the snme stream without being
fred upon by those on the other side. A
sentinel of our picket guard recognized
General Grant as he approached, and gave
the customary cry, "Turn out the guard
commanding generalr' Tho enemy on
the opposite side Of the creek evidently
heard the words, and one of his sentinels
cried out, "Turn out the guard-General
Grantr' Tie Confederate guard took up
the joke and promptly formed, facing our
line, and presented arms. Tho general
returned the salute by lifting his hat, the
guard was then dismissed, and he con-
tinled his ride toward our left We knew
that we were engaged in civil war, but
such civility largely exceeded our expecta-
tions.-"Camraigning With Grant" by

ORANGE, Dec 25-The public schools
closed on Wednesday for the holidays
and appropriate exercises were held
In the primary grades. In the lsindergar-
ten department the walls Of the room
were elaborately decorated with cy-
press, palms and peppers, and the piano
was covered with ferns and flowers. A
large Christmas tree was hung with the
work of the children during the past
term as gifts for parents and friends,
and prettily ornamented with tinsel,
cord and colored candles. The large
audience was charmed by the recitations
and songs of the little ones. All the
children, thirty-three in number, re-
ceived from their teachers unique Christ
mas bells, made of gilded walnut shells
with tiny dolls or gilded balls far clap
pers, souvenir cards and rosy apples.
