 Alfonso's visits to Santander town led him to make another excursion in fenin- ism. Alfonso and Santander are great friends. Both are active and sport lov- ing. Santander's enterprising citizens lately resolved to boom their town and the adjacent watering places by captur- ing Alfonso. They. therefore, built for the King on an eminence above the town a big chateau. The notion is that AL fonso will spend there his summers and draw to Santander Madrid's citizens, to whom the town is more easily accessible than the fashionable San Sebastian When Alfonso inspected the chateau he found that some of the designs for wall decorations ere the work of young women trained by nuns at Burgos which is not far off. He remarked that the decorations executed by men were infe- rior to the originals which the men were working from. and he sent his secretary to Burgos to bring to Santander the two young women who did the designs. At Burgos the secretary got warm dre- ception. The nuns suspected evil de- signs on the designers and refused to give them up. The secretary telephoned to Alfonso and insisted. So four hours later there arrived in Santander two heavily yelled fair maids accompanied by miserable, whipped looking secre- tary and bodyguard of nix stout and

elderly nuns. Alfonso laughed exceed ingly. He ordered the designers to stay in Santander town and superiptend the work and in reply to the VOW of the nuns that they would never leave the young women, he paid for the body guards hotel expenses for three weeks. To the uncomprehending nuns Alfonso remarked: There is no use training women to conquer life if you make them afraid of life''
 Alfonso is earnestly trying to put his precepts into practice. Most of his &C., tivities relate to the training of women in Madrid. He lately visited the tech nical training school for daughters of officials of the Southern railway, and offered to pay the expenses of import ing an Italian teacher of mosaic work. Alfonso is further spurring Into feminist activity his cabinet. A whole series of feminist laws has been passed which bring Spain in this matter up to the most advanced countries of central Eu- rope. The most important Is the law regulating labor of women in factories, workshops and mines. As result of this law the number of girls engaged in rough and unhealthy labor in mines has fallen off by 30 per cont. Under an ad- minfstrative change women have been admitted to nine subdepartments of state ministries. As some officials threatened to make trouble. the minister of the iii- terior issued an order threatening with dis missal any officials who show disrespect to their women colleagues. Two years ago Alfonso signed law which compels all stores and ofsices to have a separate specially marked chair for every woman and girl in their employment. and 1t is now a punishable offense to prevent te-

is assoeis ted >with several pretty le- gends dating back to the twilight of history. The Aztecs say that the founders of their empire were bidden by the gods to march on until they should note an eagle sitting upon cactus with a snake in it's mouth and that there they should rest and build a tity. Tho bird and the cactus were found in the valley that rests beneath the shadow of the twin volcanoes and there they built those walls the mag nificence of whose ruins still attest the glory of the original structure and upon which the remnants of the race still atteud at dawn the return of Montegume. This legend originated the first emblem--an eagle with a serpent in it's heaH When MaSimilian became Emperor ho hung a golden crown over the eagle put Juare7 tore it away and placed in the talons of the bird the broken sword of the monarch and thus it remairE todal-the eagle with the snake in its beak and the shattered sabre In it's claws.
 Under lhu administration of Porfrio Dias it Was quite interesting to watch a sessior of rhe Mexican Congress. All was extreme dignity and dccorum in most respects but it would never have done for Senator Ben Tillman to have cen T member as everyone from the presiding officer down to the pages smoked The members constantly rolled cigarettes in a most deft manner and the smoke thcrefrcm rose in dense vol umes 10 the ceiling where il was aug mented by cloudc from the cigarette smokers among the audience in the Fallarics.

 Smoking is universal in the coun- try and I have even seen men kneellng at prayer In a chcpel with q lighted cigarette in his hand.

 His son came to America and was edu- cated in Washington, where he married a Miss Alice Green, the daughter of prosperous merchant of that city. When their child, my classmate. was three years of age, he was adopted by Maxi milan and Carlotta, who were without offspring, but when the Emperor was driven from the Mexican throne, Yturbide was sent to Havana where his mother joined him, and they both returned to Washington. Although the founder of the. republic, Santa Anna, I found upon my visit to that country is not so highly esteemed by the Mexicans. Probably De- cause he was captured by the "gringoes" but they say that though republican Tn name he was in manners. and by in- stinct a royalist His abilities, force of character, energy and personal courage are all admitted but they declare him to be void of culture, education or prin- c1ple and an egotist of the most pro- nouneed type. serving all political par ties to advance his own interests.

At one time the altar was filled to plethora with the jewels and costly gems left as votive offerings to the Virgin by those whom she had cured. but they have all been stripped off and are gone A deep ven eration of the populace alone has pre- served the silver railing. A wealthy American once offered to replace the silver railing with a plated one and a bonus of S300.0 to the church but the proposition was scornfuny re- jected.

The monument was erected many years ago in fulfillment of a vow made by a sea captain who was caught in a storm unon the water that if saved he would carry his main-mast and sails to Guadalupe and there raise them as an evidence of his gratitude to the Vlr- gin for her mercy. The mast and cam vas are within the monuments double tiers of stone.

 The elder Yturbide, grandfather ef my classmate, was an officer in the Spanish army when Mexico wan e colony, and during the revolution of tat1 fought upsn 'sthe side of the King, For some unlsnewn reason he was dismissed from the army In 1916, and retired to seclusion until the agitation of 1920, when he emerged and placing himself at the head of nrga force of what might possibly be called bTisands captured a large sum of money en route to the sea coast. With this fortune he promulgated what history calls the plan of Iguala," and proclaimed the independence of Mexico as an empire. He succeeded with comparatively little or no bloodshed and was proclaimed Emperor in May, 1922, being formally crowned the following July. But his reign was short lived for in December of the same year Santa Anna proclaimed the republic and In May. 1923 Yturbide was forced to re- sign. He left the countrg and the Mexi-
