 | The parks of Aachen are small, but we'll worth visiting. The Kaiser Fred erick is to the south of the city. The Sladtgarten is to the north and has a very good botanic garden. The plants are here labeled in Latin and it was comfort 10 find something that 1 could read. Close by is Lous berg, long hill over 800 feet high and thickly wooded. It has numerous roads, paths and drives also good restaurant from which there is a magnificent view. As to the origin of Lousberg they tell that the devil be- ing hot about the way they had fooled him with the wolf ill the cathedral started for the seashore where he found a large sand hill which he picked up, intending to throw it on the town ot Aix and blot it out. He was coming up the slope near where Lousberg now is when he met an old beggar woman. The day was hot, he was tired and per 1 spring, the wind was blowing sand in his eyes and he was sick of his job. He asked the old woman how far it was to l Aachen. She, by some charm that she had was enabled to read his intentions. [ She raised her skirts, showed her shoes which were full of holes, the soles being almost worn through. "You see those shoes; they were new when 1 left Aachen." "To hell with them," said the devil. "I will go DO farther" He threw down the sand hill, which in time became covered with grass, plants, flowers and trees and is now Lousberg. IDo bo oopf;ppad
