beacon fires were seen upon the sum-
NIT Of the t~eocall, and thousands Of
oars splashed In the waters Of the
lake and a regular hailstorm Of stones,
arrows and lances fell thick about
them. The opening OF the second
~causeway was filed with the wreckage
Of the guns, the horses, the chests OF
gold ard the flower OF the Spanish
army. History cannot do justice TO
the horrors OF that night. l have
never read anything to equal it. You
must read 1t up fresh for yourself, in
Prescott, and see how heroically Cor
tea moved on with the little remnant
OF his army until he gained the out
side Of the city limits where he sat
down under this tree and cried like u
child. He had q hard time fighting
his way into the city, but a much
harder in fighting his way out. As l
sat under this old tree thinking, think
ing, Ct the past, e all seemed as a
dream, until / began 10 recall the fact
that there was an another Mexico
away of yonder in Missouri-my dear,
sweet home, and then l mingled my
tears with those OF Cortez and cried
like another baby.
What a wonderful man was this
fernando CorteZ the conqueror Of
Mexico. He came to Mexico from
Cuba with an armament consisting
Of IL vessels, ten cannons and 700
men, landing on the site OF the present
city OF Vera Crus.
He burned his ships behind him, TO
destroy all hope Of retreat, and boldly
marched upon the City Of Mexico,
which he entered in November, 15Le
He was Hospitality received by the
great Montezuma, whom be imprison-
ed in his own palace, induced TO take
the oath Of allegiance TO Spain and to
pay a great amount of silver and gold.
He obstinately refused, however, tore
nounce bis religion for that of the
Spaniards. This was a great diSap-
pointment to Cortez, for the ostensible
purpose of his invasion was the con
version Of the heather. The occasion
Of Cortez leaving the city on the
"Noche Tristi," was to repel the
Spanish force OF 1000 men sent against
him by yelaSquez, governor Of Cuba
who had become jealous Of Cortez be
cause Of his success in Mexico.
After bitterly weeping for SOME
time under this, now venerable old
tree, he shook of his grief, gathered
up the remnant Of his little army.
about $50 men, marched toward the
coast, and near Zampoaiia, defeated
and captured Narvaez, and by hi
personal magnetism and promises o.
gold, induced all OF his men to join hi
own standard. With this recruiting
force and Mexican allies gathered b.
the way, be marched again toward tn
ICity Of Mexico, and after many reyer
SEES succeeded In Tecapturlng 1t. AZ
ter this he was guilty OF many atroci
ties, the chief OF which was the tor
turing to death GuatemOzln, the las
, Of the Aztec Emperors.
Prescott sums up the character Q
Cortez In these words:
"He was avaricous, yet liberal; Dol
to desperation, yet cautious and calct
|. lating in mis- plans; magnanimous, ye
very cunning; lax In his notions q
morality, yet a sad bigot. The grea
!, feature in his character was constanc
OF purpose" ANNIE d. HNDE.

About Tree Pruning.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
BENTON CITY, Feb. 26.-Dear Sir;
AS / am at present trimming my fruit
trees and find them In poor condition
so 1 thought l would write a few lines
to you, as many Of your readers may
be interested in this letter. ! think
that the apple trees ought to be prun-
ed at once as there are 81 many dead
limbs which we're killed by the dry
weather last fall. Now when the sap
rises those limbs will take a good deal
Of the sap, and then they get dry any
way; 70 it will be better for the tree
TO cut those limbs of now.
The apple crop win be very short
this year, and the peach crop and
grapes were killed by the drought last
fall and cold weather this winter.
Yours Truly,
JOHN ZIMMERSfASN.
