It Is only by a stretch of the imagin-

day can be brought to belieye that the
great rocky hill, which rises so majes-

that was stormed by the American
troops nearly 60 years ago during the
Mexican, war.
The only thing to remind the visitor
of the blood that was spilled on this
hillside is small commemorative
monument about Is feet high, erected
in honor of the students of the Mill

what is termed in Mexico "the North
American invasion"

up to the mansion is hidden from the
view of anybody standing at the base
by luXuriant growth of flowers of
every species, cactus, palms, in fact,

Running in all directions from this
smiling rock are drives and walks that
take one to placid lakes, the homes OF
