Up the Mountain.

Six hours later we started up the
mountain on the mules-the Indians
still carrying my chair. Had space,
| would describe the "hotels' at
which we spent our next three nights,
and the "beds'' we slept in. A more
pleasant topic would be the wonderful
scenery of the Andes mountains. But
here am poWerless to do justice to the
subject. The scenery on the trip to the
interior of Colombia has been likened
to that in the Swiss Alps, and it cer-
tainly is far ahead of our own Rocky
mountains.
One small boy, on his way up these
mountains, remarked, "Mama, in the
States they throw all the stones out of
road. But here they put every stone
they can find into the road" And his
observation is quite true. The paths
are broad and are paved with large
stones. Up and down these roads
pass ceaseless procession of mules
and horses. Every mile of the way,
we met at least 100 of these. Often a
whole cavalcade of two or three hum
dred came, laden with rock salt or an
ore, for this is the only way the ColCm-
bians have of sending out their prods
ucts. 1t is interesting to watch the
sure-footed little beasts pick their way
over the large stones, up or down a
steep incline, each animal laden with
$50 pounds burden. The stones in the
road are necessary, because so much
travel over roads upon which rain falls
nearly every day, would soon make it
impossible for an animal to stand up,
either while climbing or descending.
Plain of 6ogota.
After climbing for the greater part of
three days, and having reached an ele-
walton of nearly 5000 feet, we came
out upon beautiful rolling plain.
Rocks jutted up here and there and

Main Streets.

The few main streets of Bogota are
of a respectable width, and boast
street-cars, drawn by the tiniest, thin
nest donkeys, diver stands in the
place of motor man and constantly
whips these little beasts. The cars are
as large as the street-cars of Chicago,
and quite as good, or better. For five
pesos. one may ride as far as the car
line extends.
Animal Trees.
I spoke of the parks. Those uptown
are small, and very full of trees and
flowers. There are gravel walks and
numerous benches to sit upon. The
trees in some of the parks are trimmed
to represent animals. Thus in front of
the capitol, the park contains a whole
menagerie of evergreen trees cut in
the shapes of animals. / think it hid
eous, but Colombians think it beauti-
full as we'll as wonderful. But the
parks out on the street car line will
compare very favorably with any in
our great cities. Beautiful borders of
rose-hedges, constantly in bloom dur
ing the twelve months of the year,
immense trees and tropical shrubs,
wide green sward, and gravel walks
with numerous tall granite statues

Farks.

The city has several very pretty
parks. Around an open square con-
tanning evergreens and flowers, are
grouped the principal buildings of Bo-
gotta. The unfinished capital building,
the "great cathedral", the "University
building, etc. The capitol was COM
menced in 1858, but it was found that
the foundation pillars would not sup
port the immense dome which the
original plans called for, so not even a
roof was added to what had already
been constructed. Later a fiat tiled
roof was put over a portion, ,one wing, of
the structure and this part is still in
use. The rest stands there
roofless-as it is left SO years ago.
The cathedral, which is Colom-
bians' greatest pride architecturally, is
built, like all the other public build
ings,of sun-dried brick which crumbles
very easily. 1t is not large building
but is much decorated with statues of
the Catholic saints. It has an old,
crumbling-to-pieces appearance.

The stores, or shops, are just little
corners of places. Yet each seems to have
quite stock of goods stored away in
boxes or holes behind the "store."
Nothing is on display, except a few
garments or shoes which are hung
each morning in the doorway. There
are no windows of any sort. When
the doors are closed, the tiny shops
must be in darkness. The clerks are
oriental in manner and in their Gus
toms. They bow low before the Gus
toner, with great protestations of joy
at his appearance, or sorrow at his de-
parture; they depreciate their goods
and at the same time charge one twice
what a thing is worth. And things in
Bogota are worth a great deal, too.
But customer never is supposed to
pay the price asked at first. He is
expected to haggle for some minutes
or hours. If it be for hours, the clerks
pleasure is the greater He has had
the "great honor of your presence" all
that time.
