l will not bore my old Mexico
friends by writing of Megara, Cor
inth and other ancient Greek cities
but will pass on to beautiful OLE
Olympia, in Western Greece. I'm
like most of Greece the region abou
Olympia is In a wide and fertile val
ley covered with current vineyards
and pasture land. The hills also are
not barren rocks, but are covered
with trees and have much the appear
ance of a New England landscape.
In such a setting lies Olympia, the
athletic ground of old Hellas. Hith
err came the athletes and sport-lov
ers Of the ancient Grecian world.
/ will simply describe some lad
ventures" about the ruins and not de-
the commonplace "stunt" of de
scribing Olympia. After investigat
ing the numerous temples weQ was

nancially found the marble blocl
starting line, which, like the tenn
pies, had been covered with from
ten or fifteen feet of earth when the
Kladeos some hundreds of year,
ago changed its course and buried
the once beautiful temples. We
climbed the wooded hill, "Kronxos,'
on which hundreds of years ago sal
the Greeks to view the games In
the valley below.
While rambling about the TEN
pie OF Zeus, l found part of the co
lossal statue of some goddess.

ian guard with long whiskers, a gor
geous velvet vest with gold lace
sumptuous white skirts reaching t
the knees and a very savage knife
some twelve inches long, and very
broad, arrived and forced me to the
mental conclusion that the goddess
was some few hundred pounds toe
heavy for my pocket. The old guard
had a most aggravating habit o.
keeping one hand continually on the
handle Of his most chivalrous knife
A small coin removed his hand
from the knife and brought a smile
to his face. l induced him (witl
another coin) to stand on the base
Of an old pillar with me while my
friend took our picture with the
beautiful hill of Kronxos in the back
ground. Like most of the pictures
l have from the East it is very
good. :
We next had a plunge in the elias
sic Kladeos where the athletes o
old Greece RECALLED themselves af
ter their exertions. This was by fal
the most delicious and interesting
day | have had since leaving Amer
lea, but perhaps my conclusion Il
somewhat out of place till the end o
the paper. My friend was taken il
and returned to the hotel while
went to the sci OF course
, Praxitiles' "Hermes" is the attrac
ton of Olympia, as it is said to hav'
no superior, but I enjoyed mucl
more a rough stone some Fighter
inches long and about ten incheI
square, with which the athletes use'
to put the shot" And 1t is the rec
ord that some youth hurled it far be
yond the mark of all competitors.

the Venus of Milo. One Of our par
ty was bubbling over with excite
ment. He had brought along an op-
era glass for the occasion. He raw
ed over Miss Venus; he went some
distance up the corridor and then up
close to her and was a true "appreci-
ator' of art. The other three of us
were old "baches." One of them
thought a nearby statue Of a creature
which was half woman and half
eagle was more worthy of study.
The other spent his time watching
some glaciers reset a window-pane
high up over some plaster casts.
One of them, a little old German
American, said that If ever he took
a wife, it would be one like the We
nus, because her clothes and
glove bill would not be heavy and
she would not talk too much. All
this time the "appreciator" was play
ing the tourist hypocrite. He was
raving over a statue because Baede-
ker said 1t was fine, when in reality
he knew no more Of art than Car
rie Nation. But when you go abroad
you must appear clever or the other
~hypocrites will set you down for a
fool. This is discomforting, even
though perhaps more honorable. While
in the Pitt Palace at Florence /
saw an artist making a copy Of Ra-
phaels' Madonna OF the Chair" And
really to my unsophisticated eye
the copy was as good as the origi-
nal-except that the latter was in a
fine guilt case.
Now, to return to a homely little
adventure" In Olympia. We want
ed some boiled eggs for u trip to
Rastres via rail, as there are few
buffet cars In Greece. / also wanted
some fresh steak. Hotel fare was
SO monotonous. l eventually found a
little restaurant. The proprietor was
grinding coffee in a curious mill
about two feet long and as thick
as a couple of my fingers. | asked
for a dozen and a half of eggs. He
was non : plussed. He could
understand no English. Mel.
Their could he understand French.
l could not have spoken 1t intelligi-
bly, il he could. l drew an eggish
looking figure on the wall. He
looked intelligent and ran into anothci
room and returned with a-watermel-
on, then with a potato and then with
an onion. Then I Topped my
hands and crowed like a rooster
and cackled like a hen. Did l
want chicken? His wife finally ap.
peared and caught on" at once.
l found a butcher killing a black
sheep and asked him for a francs
worth of mutton. He seized one
end of a carcass and his small son
the other and after much exertton
he severed 1t with a cleaver. The
landlady broiled this over some Goals
and it was fine" But how could
l make them understand that l
wished to have the eggs all cooked
for our journey? I drew the pic
ture of a locomotive and said "toot-
toot." The woman again understood
and baked the eggs over the Goals.
Another interesting thing was the
manner in which the butcher weigh
ed my mutton. He placed the meat
in one side of the scales and some
nails, bolts and screws in the other.
Thus ended the most interesting day
of my travels.
