bridges thrown boldly across, cleaving
way through hills and raising a
monument OF triumph and skill to as
tonish the conquerors 200 years later,
and from which they took their clew
in later developments
Their temples and palaces sprung
from the water at command, and so
far did their ardent desire to triumph
over nature go, that great floating
gardens lay on the lake, borne on RATS
and enriched with virgin soil from the
plains, rivaling the hanging gardens of
the great Semiramis of Babylon in
beauty and ingenuity. Here fruit and
flowers and vegetables grew for the
royal tables, and cool shades and bow
ers for the royal pleasure,
Their kings increased in might and
knowledge; they had their David and
their Solomon, and their cities had
each its splendid glory of soldiery or
statesman or philosopher. as had Rome
and Athens.
Far out beyond the western shore of
the lake rose the natural fortress of
Chapultepec, and this, too, they en-
| braced. A causeway was constructed
thither and palace and garden
reared on its topmost crest. AS the
city grew gradually the two extremes
of water depth and mountain height
reached out and met with clasped
hands in the valley between-the last
link connecting the confines of great
city.
When the invader came his covetous
eye at once discerned the value of this
heaven-born city and its surrounding
valleys. When he secured control the
Aztec work was destroyed, added to
and overlaid, until now not many
traces remain.
On the spot where the great temple
was reared stands the grand cathedral
to-day. On the site of Montezuma's
wild beast garden was built the Fran
ciscan church and convent, one of the
most magnificent properties Of the

Vided.
And so all the way to Chapultepec
the palaces and gardens of the Monte
zumas were succeeded by the royal
palace of the republic; and the Paseo
de la Reforma is the ribbon that binds
the two together as the causeways did
years ago.
But at the farther end along the
south lake shore, the hand Of the
spoiler was somewhat stayed, for with
the receding of the waters the farther
valley was more desirable for the
city's needs than the frequently over
flown Aztec quarter.
Clustered around the Oldest church
on the American continent chapel
was built there by Cortez for his first
occupation, but now, compared with
its surroundings, still stand many of
the ancient fat-roofed gray houses on
the foundations, which have grown to
be a part of the mainland, though low
to the waters edge. Still run in mar
row, tortuous squalor the old streets
and canals, traversed once by the Az
tees in royal bargeS and fiat-bottOmed
canoes.

la Reforma, the American quar-
~ ter, and the city proper to the
old Aztec quarter in the south
ern part of the City of Mexico,
is the extreme of contrast in
worldly station and the longest step on
the North American continent from
the splendid modern to a still-living
antiquity.
Down in the old Aztec quarter a diff
ferent world is found, an old world,
with all its primitive life and at
mosphere, and one may feel certain
that he If not only ,treading ancient
paths, but is seeing the very life of
centuries ago.
There still stand many of the old
adobe houses which were built by the
Aztecs, who here founded their capital
city in 1925, when they ceased their
wandering and rested here in the love-
ly vale of the Anahuac, Near the Wa
ters," guided, as they belived, by their
gods.
The Aztec tribes had wandered far,
stopping sometimes for perhaps gen.
Grafton or two on their long pilgrimage
from the north, driven southwark, as
1s supposed, by geographical and eli
matic changes, but ever seeking a
kinder land. At San Diego, Cal, at
Zacatecas, at Puebla, are found traces
of short sojourns, but not yet had they
found the end of their desire.
The tableIand to the north was a
barren desert in many places, and only
reached by parched trails and toilsome
ascents, but at last guided by the then
smoking, snow-capped Popocatapetl,
the sacred mountain, they found a par
adise up above the rugged mountain
ranges, laid like royal gem against a
background Of azure sky and verdant
rim, for valley of lakes it was and al
ways is green and fresh. They called
It Anahuac and, still seeking tokens of
the gods, they saw as they came at
early morning to the shores of Lake
Texcoco golden eagle resting lightly
on rocky, cactus-grown pile far out in
the shallow water. With wings out
spread toward the rising sun and
serpent in its talons he Vas taking his
mornings meal on throne of natures
making Small wonder that these peo-
pie accepted this beautiful valley as
their chosen land.
On the very spot where the eagle sat
they set up their standard, rude pro-
duction of the scene, the same which
was worked in the rare guetzal feath-
ers on the banner Of Montezuma, taken
by Cortez and sent as royal trophy
to the king of Spain, and which has.
with little changes, been preserved as
the standard of colonial Spain and the
banner of Mexico to-day.
From the bosom of the lake to the
mainland in the often waxing and wan
ing waters they erected dwellings, first
of rushes and reeds, later of adobe.
plying canoes between. AS time went
on and they increased in power and
numbers, four great causeways were
constructed, the "Calzadas" of the Az
tees, bearing rock founded and fortified
roads from the lake to the shores and
out to the country beyond-connecting

her bedroom door. There was no an
swer, so he called again. Still no re-
ply. He pushed open the door, which
was not completely shut, and reach
ing for the button, turned on the lights.
Then he saw Mabel. She was kneel-
ing at the side of her bed in her night
gown, in the attitude of prayer-the
attitude, that is, as to kneeling. But
she had raised her head at the inter-
ruption and paused in her devotions
to blaze at him with a face flushed
with impatience.
Gee whiz, daddy! Can't woman
say her prayers?"
Then she bowed her head again,
piously, and daddy, properly rebuked,
slipped noiselessly away.

PINcHoT RElTERATEs CHARGES.
Deposed Chief Forester Says secre.
tary BaIIinger "WiIfuIIy Deceived
the President"

Washington.-In his testimony be-
fore the joint committee of the SEN
ate and house which is investigating
the so-called Ballinger-Pinchot contro-
versy, Clifford Pinchot, the deposed
chief forester, made the general state
ment that Secretary Ballnger had
"wilfully deceived the president"
especially in connection with the Gun
ningham coal land claims.
Mr. Talf is still convinced that Mr.
Pinchot's aspersion is not only un-
founded, but unjust. He has been fol
lowing the progress of the investiga-
tion and wondering whether Pinchot
can produce any evidence additional
to that he furnished three months ago,
which he then pronounced insufficient
to prove his allegation of deception.

SOUVENIR EDITION OF STATE IN.
STITUTIONS.

One of the daintiest and at the
same time one of the most valuable
additions to state literature which
has been published Of late years is
the souvenir edition descriptive of
our government and state institu-
lions which has just been issued by
Commissioner w. c. Gilbreath of the
department of agriculture and labor.
The book is devoted entirely to a
portrayal Of the different public in
situations of the stale. each of which
is represented by one or more beau.
tiful, new-process half-tones, which
are certainly masterpieces of the art.
Accompanying each half tone there
are inserts containing a brief de-
scription of the institution, in which
its object, organization and present
scope are briefly set forth, the whole
constituting a complete story in
brief but expressive form of the gen.
erous manner in which the state has
provided for our institutional needs.
Apart from its historical value the
book Is we'll worthy of consideration
as work Of art. The illustrations
are printed on a fine quality of
heavy paper which shows them of
to the best advantage. On the cover
is shown splendid picture of the
battleship North Dakota. A silken
cord is used instead of the ordinary
stitching, which adds still more to
the rich appearance.
The institutions treated are the
Capitol, State university, Agricultur.
al College. Normal Schools, Soldiers
Home, School Of Science, State Peni-
Tertiary, Reform School, Insane Asy.
'lum. Industrial School, School of
Forestry, Institute for Feeble-mind-
ed. Blind Asylum and School for
Deaf and Dumb. Indian Schools,
