Mexican Letter.
Mexico, March IS, 1904.

We have done it all up and going to
leave for old u. S. A. tomorrow.
Mexico City is on a hight plain, a
great basin 1900 feet above sea level.
While in the tropic belt it is never hot
even in summer We took the Vera
Cruise train last Monday, going across
this plain 10 PUEBLO. At this place is a
pyramid built long before the time of
the Aztecs, dating hack TO 1927. This
pyramid is larger than the Egyptian and
mary think IT and other great works
were built by the Egyptians. Cities in
ruin of which the Aztecs could tell
Cortez nothing, all point to those
people as having beer on the continent
at some remote period.
At Pueblo we went mp on the house
with the iaw-breaker names: Popocate-
pelt. Ixtacehinatl and Orazaba from
1,500 to 1900 feet hight, snow crowned,
standing grim and alone away above
the clouds, each one aglow with sun
light. the greatest sight of its kind /
know in all my wanderings.
AT Esperanza we just simply dropped
off the edge Of the plain and here is the
rail road of them all. The high dandy
SO to speak. The grade is five feet to
the hundred. No engine of the Mil
waukee road could II from Vera
Cruise TO the town of Esperanto with a

are curious enough, with smoke stack
on each end, two sets of drive wheels,
etc, in fact a complete monster and let
me say the diver is Yankee, Scotch or
English. Crooked, we'll a drunken
Indian going home in the time when
Dakota was dry would be a bee line
compared to il.
Now comes sugar cane, range
lemons, bananas, pine apples and a lot
of tropical fruits, an Indian hands You
a peck OF oranges, basket and all for
ten cents. Flowers, such roses; such
colors; a whole tree, not a leaf on it,
just limbs and roses. What is it? Oh!
Oh my! As all this wild tangle fashe s
past the car. while hundreds of feet
below the little town lies sleeping in
the sun. You will see this same place
four or five times and Won will rub
your eyes and wonder IL il is real or is
il a dream.
Coffee, how does il look growing.
Now guess before I tell you. 1t grows
on a tree which Ia generally in among
other trees which furnish shade. They
grow from IL To 20 feet high and the
fruit looks like a choke cherry, with
two coffee beans inside face to face.
Bananas grow inside n leaf which il
from 10 to % feet long, the fruit grows
in a fold of this immence leaf with a
large red bloom at the end.
Then we saw another fruit, Maneh,
