CORTEZ' HOUR OF TRIUMPH
Impressive Scene When the Spanish Adventurer Met Emperor Mon-
 tezuma of Mexico.

On the morning of November 8. 1519, the Spaniards were on the cause way which was one of the three to con- meet Tenochtitlan with the mainland and so wide that eight of the Span ish cavalry could ride abreast on 1t. On all sides, in the road and in ca noes on the lake, crowd of Aztecs gaZed at the descendants of the god who had at last, as they believed, car ried out his promise. At the entrance to the city they were greeted by 1000 principal citizens with salutations and kissing of hands to the bare earth ; and then, after crossing a drawbridge, they saw approaching in a gorgeous litter none other than the great Mon tezuma, escorted by POO of his cour- tiers.
 Never has there been a more impress sive scene in the history of the Amer lean continent than this meeting be- tween the emperor of all Mexico and the Spanish adventurer. The pictur esque surroundings, the silver-towered city rising from the gleaming lake, the countless hosts of gayly dressed sub jects watching in awed silence, the magnifcence of MOnteZuma and his train, the bronze, war-wOrn yet fiery appearance of the Spaniards-al these seem like page from the Arabian Nights" rather than sober history. The Spaniards, we may be sure, realized they were living a romance Of the first order, and their hearts beat high with triumph, as with swords clanking and horses prancing they advanced into this city of legend.-From "Mexi- CO.," by Louise s. Hasbrouck.
