resting place"
This is thus described by an American
resident of Roumania:
| Bucharest, May 2O.-The quaintest sum-
mer spot in Roumania is one dedicated 10

| When Carmen sylvia had her trouble
| over the Vacaresco affair a few years ago
! she became very morbid and grew tired,
! apparently, of the whole royal family. For
! a long time she deserted the castle and the
. king.
1t was while in this mood that she jour
neyed to a little hamlet on the outskirts
of Bucharest. There were many children
there, and while watching them play an
idea occurred TO her.
Il will be buried here" she said. land
my resting place shall be the fete ground
of the hamlet"
Accordingly she purchased a large piece
of land and turned it into park. In the
center she placed a Statue of herself fond

of clear water My spirit shall rest
here" she said mo matter where my
body lies"
This spot is visited daily by school chill
dren in their play and is one Of the Gu
rosity spots of Europe, "the burial place
of a living queen" Edward Giles.
America has few womens tombs that
serve as spots for sightseers. 1t is as
serted that the relatives Of Harriet Beech
er Stowe will be persuaded to allow her
body to be laid in the center Of handsome
grounds for foreigners and home people
to visit.
One woman's grave. however, affords
the greatest interest, the grave of H.
H." This like Stevenson's Samoan rest
ing place, becomes more and more inter-
esting with the years. and, like It, has
an element of the weird and picturesque
hanging about IT, This is thus described
by visitor to the spot this spring.

author OF Pomona" can be made by car
rage. but the most picturesque and Wild
route Is over the narrow trail leading
from the base Of Cheyenne mountain TO
It's very crown. This trip Is made on the
back OF the sure-footed little burro,
miniature donkey whose carrying capacity
rs equaled by It's desire and ability for
mountain climbing.

mountain side as 20 make the stoutest
heart quake. After a mile Of the most
careful climbing the burro stops az the
very edge Of a huge pile OF red rock where
the seven falls, which descend $50 feet,
are looked down upon. and very small they
seem from this point OF observation. Back
OF the falls IS a little log cabin now going
TO ruin which Helen Hunt Jackson made
her summer studio and where she worked
hard on her manuscript.
The mile OF ascent from this point Is far
more hazardous and wild than the dis

inches. with an angle climb Of forty-hve
degrees.
