IN LONDON. At LAST.

~ ell at last we landed at Dover,
took the train for London through a
beautiful country with hedges dividing
the fields and droves of cattle and sheep
grazing in all directions. This you sell
dom see in Germany or France and the
scene was most inviting and carried me
back to my own beautiful county of
Frederick
We reached London and alightcd from
our train in the great Charing Cross
Station. Numbers of cabs and fur
wheelers We're waiting outside Our
trusty valet Robert looked after our lug
cage, while we drove through the bust
ling, crowded streets of London to our
hotel. No time was to be lost. We soon
forgot the terrors of the English Channel
banished the scenes ON shipboard and
went out into the busy streets, saw the
crowds hurying in all directions and re-
allied that we were at last in the great
and bustling city of London
at has been said that the first time
one goes to Europe he thinks London
din4y and Paris the only city worth see
ing. The second time he doubts which
city he likes the better. The third time
he doubts no more, and can hardly teal
himself away from the fascinating hum
of English humanity.
"Well, we shall have to wait for om
next visit to institute the contrast be
tween Paris and London, and can only
speak of the great city as we found it.
1t is, indeed, bewildering; its streets. are
filled with hurrying, bustling crowd,
but not the rushing, pushing crowd we
find in our great New York. The thou.
sands of conveyances which rush along
are under absolute police control. The
long line of cars, busses, wagons, cabs,
hansoms-all keep their place and never
leave their line. The uplifted hand Of
policeman acts like magic upon the
crowd You see a policeman at every
turn and every corner-those in the
streets directing the tide of travel do st
in quietest way-no upraised voice, nj
shouting, but the uplifted hand stops ol
starts the great throng of moving We
hicles.

SURE THING" ON THE RACES.

ITO the National Steeplechase next
day. What a clubhouse! What flowers
What beauty everywhere What taste
and mind to frame such scenes of lowell
ness The crowds, thousands, filled the
grandstand. Handsomely gowned women
and who does not know what French
gown means-men from London, from
America, from all parts Of the country
were there to see, to bet, to admire and
to witness some of the finest racing they
ever saw.
Before leaving the city our good
friend Henri was kind enough to give
me a tip, one sure to prove winner. 1t

VISIT TO THE TOWER.

ITO have gone to London without a
visit to the tower would hardly have
been natural, so we joined the crowds we
found at the entrance gate bent on an
inspection of this interesting place. Up
through the narrow steps into the various
rooms filled with many interesting OBJ
jects we passed along. We saw the great
crown jewels, now kept under special
guard, and all other interesting things
pointed out by the guide.
AT the spot called the Tower Green
Queen Ann Boleyn, second wife of Henry
VIII, was executed in 1886. Queen
Catherine, fifth wife of this same mon
arch was executed February, 1912.
The Earl of Essex was also executed
here in 1901. They were all beheaded
with an AK, except Ann Boleyn, whose
head was cut off with sword Outside
soldiers were passing to and fro to their
guardrooms, and so we hurriedly saw
and heard all about the great Tower of
London.
lin our motor we retraced our steps
to the House of Parliament and to the
House Of Lords, passing through many
of the passageways of this superb build
ing We found Westminster Abbey
most awe-insplring, as well as St Paul S
Cathedral
"We felt a little curiosity to see Scot
land Yard, so armed with letter we
visited this much-talked-of place Then
we rode through the once-famous White
Chapel section, through Petticoat lane,
the Jewish Quarter and for blocks. and
blocks where some of the terrors of Lon
don are supposed to dwell. We saw two
well-known mission houses crowded with
men and women by no means inviting in
i appearance; then to two lodging houses
for the rougher element. The day was
well-nigh spent with our long rides

ON THE BEAUTIFUL RHINE.

"On the morning of June 1 we took
an express steamer down the beautiful
and ver-to-be-remembered Rhine. We
Justly boast of the Palisades of the
Hudson, its romantic scenery OF noun
tain and river at West Point; we are
proud of the great Father Of Waters
and have reason to point with pride to
our beautiful Potomac. Yet there is but
one beautiful, bewildering Rhine.
"Along its shores for miles and miles
can be seen the vineyards cultivated up
to the very highest peaks of the grand
mountains which stand like sentinels along
its banks, the ruins of old castles, with
their legends told by all, its old monas-
teries, its villas and turret homes, its
thriving towns and charming villages
nesting in some quiet dale or long
stretches of beautifully cultivated fields
these and hundreds of other attractive
scenes fill you with admiration until you
find your journey is too quickly ended.
1t is from these vineyards along the Rhine
that you get the famous Johannesburg,
the Rubesheimer and other noted Rhine
wines.
"The Moselle river, watering the
beautiful valley of the same name, enters
the Rhine at Coblentz, a city of 10, QAQ
inhabitants. Opposite is the fortress
Ehrenbreitstein, which was destroyed by
the French in 1901 and rebuilt about
1915.
''We passed the city of Bonn, with a
population of so, 600, the native town
of Beethoven. The great universities
are located at this point. The national
monument, known as the Wacht un
Rheim, built in commemoration Of the
victory during the Franco-Prussian War
of 1870, stands here. 1t was inaugu-
rated in 1888 under the direction of
Professor Schilling of Dresden

SAW KINGS EDWARD AND ALFONSO.

"Covent Garden, the great opera
house, was point of special interest,
as King Edward was entertaining his
royal guest, King Alfonso of Spain.
Tickets sold as high as $500 for this
performance. We were attracted by the
crowds that lined the sidewalks as we
we're returning from the theatre. Upon
inquiry we were told that the King was

filed with people. Along the fine roads
are innumerable coffee and tea houses,
bands playing in gardens filled with
little tables, around which are seated all
kinds and conditions of men and women.
Many carry little paper bags filled with
zurebach, or rolls, which they buy in the
town, getting their coffee or beer from
the cafes.
1T is surprising how long the twilight
lasts. Darkness does not come until near
Or after 9 o clock. At 10 everything in
the town of Carload is closed and the
lights are out. There are few theatres,
but they commence at $50 and are over
at 9. 80 or 10 at the latest. We visited
one of the theatres and called cab to
take us to our hotel, as we had a consid-
cradle hill to climb We drove along
in a walk, and, wishing to hurry our
cabby, we asked him to push on. His
reply was that he would be arrested if he
went out of walk. We learned later
that there was "A city ordinance not allow

Everyone seems willing to adopt the
rules of the place. and for this reason the
beneficial results from the water and
baths are most apt to follow With the
same treatment the same results would
undoubtedly follow from thevarious springs

the social side, night suppers, champagne,

During our stay we made several
excursions to nearby places and drove fol
miles and miles through the beautiful
country surrounding these springs. While
the country in Austria is not so well cul
tivated as in Germany, great deal Of
valuable information could be obtained
by our Maryland farmers. The public
roads are models here also, and grea
attention is paid to the forests and t.
tree planting. Guards are constant,

TREASURES OF ART.

Our motocar was ready, our light
ming conductor gave the word; we were
off through the busy thoroughfares. past
the Triumphant Arch, through the Bois
de Bologne and back into the crowded
streets until we were absolutely dizzy with
the bewildering scenes.
"A day to visit the Grand Salon,
where this year paintings were on eX-
hibition; then to the Louvre, where the
old masters have left their undying i'm

are these grand subjects, thoughts and
poems and histories made by the hands
of Murillo, Raphael, Rubens and others.
"We walked through the gardens of
the Tuileries, where once from the grand
porticos and windows the kings of France
looked upon the beautiful gardens and
parks below. The palace once located
here was destroyed by the Commune after
the Franco Prussian war.
Then we saw Notre Dame Oh,

IN COLOGNE CATH EDRAL.

when one reaches Cologne, city
of nearly 400, 600 inhabitants, the first
idea is to seek out the grand cathedral,
with the tallest towers in all Europe, the
quaintest of Gothic edifces. How grand
and how magnificent it stands, embody-
ing the beauty and wonder of centuries
gone by, the object Of universal interest
today We walked through its grand
aisles, looked with rapture upon its
marble statues, its brilliantly painted
windows and were lost in wonder and
admiration. Its foundation stone was

THANKSGIVING Proclamation.

Our beloved president, Theodore
Roosevelt, has designated Thurs
day, Both day of November, 1905,
as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer, that we may meet togeth er
on one common occasion and give
praise to God for the peace and
prosperity that has prevailed
throughout our fair land. Provi.

Idaho in the past year, and it is
particularly fitting that on the

pended wherever possible, and
that the people of our state meet
together in their respective places
of worship, and around the family
table and give thanks to God for
the many blessgings that have
marked this year as one long to
be remembered.
Irrigation projects of vast i'm
portance to our state have been
carried to successful completion;
the Columbia river is being opened
to the sea. All of which insures
the future greatness of our state,
for which we should be thankful.
Let us show our appreciation of
the blessings that have been given
Us by the Author of all good who
shapes the destiny of this great
and growing commonwealth, by
making this day of prayer and
rejoicing, and in the fullness of our
Joy let Us not forget those who
have suffered from poverty, sick
ness or misfortune. Let US see to
it that they, too, taste the blessings
of our bountiful land, and gener-
Gus people.
| would therefore recommend
that the people of Idaho observes
the day appointed and that they
unite in offering thanks for the
many blessings that we have re-
ceived in the year now drawing to
a close.
In witness whereof, l hereunto
affix my hand and cause the
great seal of the state of Idaho to
be affixed. Done at Boise, the
capital of the state of Idaho, this
9th day of November, 1905.
