part of its history was rather complex.
He seems 10 have been not only grasp

liberal. Like so many persons Of high
class families whose fortunes dwindied,
fernando was destined for the study OF
law. but disliked the profession and turn
ed adventure
His first journey into the great world
took him 70 Santo Domingo. when lie was
nineteen, and here he remained for seven
years. When YelasQuez was sent 10 con-
quer Cuba, Cortez went with him ard did
such good service that he was rewarded
with a large estate and was made the
aleslde OF Santiago.
One OF VelasQuezs neutensnts had dis
covered Mexico. but had made no attempt
10 occupy H. This enraged the governor
or Cuba and re placed under Cortez a
feet OF ten vessels. with 100 men and q
supply Of cannon and horses, FOR the con-
quest OF the newly discovered territory.
II was on The site OF Vera Cruz that
Cortez landed. and that city was founded
by him. He found that he had penetrat-
Cd into an empire where wealth and
honor awaited those who could grasp the
situation Of conquest So he determined

Marching 20 the capital. which is the
City OF Mexico Of to-day, Cortez was re-
ceived with hospitality by M0ntezuma
But suddenly the head OF one ~ his sol

brought 10 the capital. with the news Of
a successful attack upon that place. The
people had found that these were rot

and after paying Cortez an enormous
sum in gold and precious stones.
Time as il passes has shown that, with
all HIS cruelty and oppression, Cortez was
mild in his methods when they are com
pared with what the Aztec tribes inhict-
ed on each other.
There is one standing monument 20
Cortez In the City Of Mexico, and that
is the Hospital Of Jesus. which ne found
