"How Many Have You Told that To.” SCHMUCK & MILLER FROM OLD MEXICO (Continued from page 1.) Most of the fiuit and vegetables and other things for sale are on the floor, in little handfuls, so much for a certain piece of money, usually a very small coin. Walking through the city which is very quaint, I unexpectedly met Mr. de S. He went with us to lunch, down at La Barna. We expect to spent two days on the beach. I|e came Sunday afternoon to call, and took us up to the Piaza in the evening to heiar the band play in front of the cathedral, and se e the youth and beauty of the place march around and around for hours; the ladies in one direction and the men in another. As I described last winter in my Monterey letter, the city is from twenty to fifty feet above the river, and at the end of two of the streets there are very wide flights of steps that lead down to the water. There were many large steamships loading and unloading. Tampico is the rival of Vera Cruz and the river her e is 1,800 feet wide and thirty deep. The railroad station is close, and ft was easy to cross over to the market. It is a large building, but the market overflows, and lots of the natives sit on the ground with a bit of straw mat stuck on a couple of poles which is thrust in the ground, under which they huddle, for you must remember this is the torpid zone. We saw our first cocoanuts growing hefre, tall smo .th trees with a great bunch of palmetto leaves at its top, and great, clusters of cocoanuts under the leaves growing close to the bole of the tree. I think I told you Tampico has one of the finest harbors in the world. This is also a great place for tarpon fishing. At Laßarra six miles from Tampico, is on e of the finest bathing beaches in the world, with a fine surf. I forgot to say that in the cathedral plaza we saw g<eat vines of violet bouganvillia full of bloom running over the top of some trees and great bushes of hibiscus full of bloom. Os course, orange, lemon and bananas. From Tampico we went to San Luis Potosi, an all day trip. One of the red letter days of my life. We were passing through a tropical country, miles land miles of cocoanMt pilanltations. haciendas and their attendant domed churches, villages of huts, some of the houses built of adobe thatched with palm leaves (all very low), som e the sides of bamboo poles, the roof thatched with palmetto, or grass, inhabitants with as few clothes as the law will allow. Once in a great while a child without clothing. The men usually wear white cotton trousers, shirt not tucked in, bare feet or sandals and an immense hat. The women here, wean a cotton skirt sweeping the ground, bare feet, a cotton jacket and an old hat (a man's- on her head or a cotton rebosa, nearly always a baby on her back or in hen arms. The ride through the grand canyon of Lamospa was gm nd. Its beauties and wonders are really indescribable by me. There are places that are thousands of feet down and thousands of feet. up. There is one place where no steam is used for seventeen miles, and if the road wag straight one might go down in ten minutes; but the brakes are set and the time is one hour and twentyseven minutes. This is for safety. At the beginning <>f the canyon it is said you can see the rails beginning to bend down, that is at the other end. for we are beginning at the bottom and going up. The train has stopped howcvoi*, before we reached the giand canyon, to let us visit some famous spots. The first is Choy Cave. We climbed down about two hundred steps to it, and it was well worth the effort. The cave is about 200 feet high, and the subterranean river which (Continued on page 4.)
