w landed at Rotterdam, where we got
a big automobile and tourned 1t through
Holland said Mr.. Kruger, "a little box
of a land; but it is a garden of God, for
the country is dotted with well-cultivated
gardens and small farms, and the vege-
tables, fruits and flowers are great. Tho
main roads are paved with brick and kept
in fine condition, and | must say the people
of Holland are thrifty and courteous. The
hotels in the small towns and the villages
are clean, the food good, the rooms neat
and the charges fair.
1--WE crossed from Holland over the line
into Germany, rode along one bank Of the
Rhine to Cologne and then to Coblentz.
We saw ruins of grand old castles of the
middle ages and magnificent ones of a
later time, and we saw great fields OF
grape vines, with punches of young grapes
| sprouting on them, for it was early in
June. and we admired the farms as well
as the estates of the nobler and other
great land owners.

where the main street was only wide
enough for a one-horse wagon and there
were places along the street. where we had
to turn out to let wagons coming toward
us pass.

the Rhine on a steamer and viewed the

compare with the automobile ride on the

old place we stopped for a few hours to
see historic buildings.
From Coblentz we rode to the famous
Black Forest. and then to Heidelberg. the
seat of the great university. where we
spent one day. Next we rode through
Bavaria, stopping at Luxe, where Heinz
