ILLUSTRATED SONG. “In the Wilderwood Where the Blue Bells Grew.” SCHMUCK & MILLER "are SEEING MEXICO (Continued from page 1.) to furnish your own soap and matches. I always carry my own soap, of course. But I never have need for matches as you know. One night at the Iturbide the electric lights went out. Our mozo (servant) came with a piece of candle and one match and lighted the candle for us. Miss B asked for another match fearing we might need one in the night. He went for another and returned and she attempted to take two, but he drew back with alarm and said “no. no,” succeeded by a deluge of Spanish words. We got but one match. Most of Mexican matches are very short and light at -both ends. It looked curious at first to see a man light his cigar or cigarette and put the match back in his box. Or a man ask for a match, strike one end, and hand it back after using one end, see the man receive it, drop it in his box and box in pocket. Miss B and I always use one room, but everything is double in the room. Two beds, etc., just as in Europe. But I must hurry along or I won't get out of the city. We left our hotel at 8 p. m. for Puebla, where we had to buy new tickets in the night for Oaxaca, and re-check our trunks. We found the queerest little narrow guage sleeper that made one think of a play house. W’e interviewed the Pullman porter and by giving him a fee he promised to get up in the night and buy tickets at Puebla and recheck our trunks. At nine the next morning we had to leave the sleeper and get in a day coach, as the sleeper was taken off. It was the queerest kind of a coach. The road is owned by some Englishmen and the coaches were built in England upon supposed American ideas. The ceiling is low and there is one long seat that will hold three or four on one side, then an aisle, and a seat for one across the aisle. The backs reach almost to your shoulder blades and after a day's journey you are nearly dead with fatigue. No accommodation to speak of any way. It was hot, and we went down the mountains about three thousand feet. The cars were crowded, t.he men smoked and Miss B was car sick. But some Americans on the train were very nice to us. In fact we found Americans everywhere. We were delayed an hour by a wreck, but Russ telegraphed he had reserved a room for us at the “La Francia,” and our minds were at rest in regard to where we would lay our heads. It is a fine trip down from Mexico City, if it does take a night and day to reach it. The valley is beautiful coming down from Puebla and the canon is grand. We run down quickly comparatively, and kept at the bottom of the canon for a part of the day. Os course banana trees and such are seen all along the way. It was nine at night w’hen we reached here, tired and warm. But we found such a quaint, old time hotel here and such good service we are charmed. The climate is ideal. The longer we stay the more loathe we are to leave. The outside doors which are closed at night, and by which a porter sits all night on a bench, wrapped in his wool zerape (for it is cool at night) are as wide as the barn doors in the bay barn at home. I mean w’here the wagon drives in and open back on heavy hand-made hinges. The dors about eight inches thick and are studded with nails whose heads are two inches across. Os course hand made. The bottoms of the doors (Continued on page 4.)
