BEAUTIES OF MOUNT PocoNo.

FROM Mount Pocono a superb panoramic
view Is spread before the eye. Back over
lnnumerable hills roll great pillows OF pine
forest. virgin woodland unbroken save by
an occasional farm clearing. To the right
and left bold spurs project their rugged
fronts Pocono Knob, the noblest, thrusts
forward Its rock-blunt summit like the
Prov OF some mighty battleship. Lying
between the spurs and scanning them In
every direction, there are deep ravines
through whose recesses rush and leap the
spring fed mountain torrents.
The whole region is full of points of ro-
mantle interest and beauty. Who that has
ever made II will forget the trip TO Red
Rock Glen, Paradise Falls, Echo Lake. Lee
high Falls, Sullivan Springs, Tunnel Knob
or Pocono Perch? And then the fairy
saltwater! What wealth OF memories
does 1t awaken. Little wonder that It's
virgin beauty has so often figured In song
and story! Whether you approach 1t from
the wooded height above or through the
dense forest below. 1t bursts upon you like
a vision OF beauty. .-. .-
The altitude In the neighborhood of Mount
Pocono is about 1000 feet 1t is nearer than
the Adirondacks and higher than the Cats
kills, while its broad view is unequalled
this side OF the Rockies. Every facility is
here given for outdoor sports, fishing,
hunting, camping. mountain climbing or a
horseback canter over the mountain roads.
The region around Pocono Summit has
many things besides its attractiveness TO
mako It desirable place in which to spend

and the air particularly dry and invigo-
rating. Naomi Lake, three miles to the
southwark, is completely frlnged and
shaded by stately forest trees. Its wooded
shores afford most desirable places for pic

and one excursions which appeal 30 strong
Iy TO lovers OF outdoor life. The Tunkhan-
mock is one Of the many picturesque trout

streams.
inc charm OF this region can scarcely be
exaggerated. Here Nature smiles indul-
gently upon her visitors. The many brawl-
Ing mountain brooks will delight the angler
who wishes TO keep in touch with his IA
vorite pastime, while the nature lover will
here find delights inexhaustible. In the
dim. cool recesses OF the forest, winding
mountain trails lead through mile after
mile Of stately oaks and chestnuts, pines
and hemlocks. spruces and naples. A view
OF the hillside ravines and tree-girt up
lands when the laurel is In its glory Is al
most indescribable. Whole hillsides appear
covered with great masses OF billowy pink
foam. And when the rhododendron, fairly
towering among the trees. glorlfies the
humblest mountain road with its gorgeous
blossoms set among It's dark glossy foliage,
the visitor Is apt TO feel that here indeed Is
natures own garden.

REGION FAMED FOR BEAUTY
Summer Joys Of Delaware Water
Gap, Mount Pocono and
Stroudsburg Are Many.

Tho famous Pocono Hills resorts form
enc Of the keystone States greatest gifts
to humanity. The wonderful natural beau
ties Of Delaware Water Gap. Mount Po-
como and Stroudsburg lose nothing from
msnktnds efforts, by means of luxurious
hotels and various amusement devices. to
make them minister to his comfort and
happiness In the summer time.
The Delaware Water Gap needs no de-
scription II is one Of the scenic marvels
Of this country. The first view Of its frown-
ing battlements is one long to be remem-
bered. Upon reaching Promontory Point
there suddenly bursts upon the tourist as
he emerges from the wooded mountain
trail a scene which produces the same
feeling of subnmity which one experiences
IN gazing for the first time upon Niagara
Falls or the vast expanse Of the ocean.
One moment the wanderer wends his way
through the sornbre mystery and hickerin3
shadows of mountain trail. cushioned with
MOSES. festooned with ferns and arched
with silver birches; the next he stands "a
a flood OF sunlight upon dizzy promontorY,
confronting a view which silences the, lips
and grips the very heart with awe. Before
him in all their rugged grandeur tower the
majestic portals OF this mighty gorge,
Mounts Tammany and Minsi. fifteen hun
dred feet abaove the placid Delaware,
which winds its silver length far down be-
low.
This famous notch. through which cen
turtles ago the river forced it's way on its
journey to the sea. is but one feature of
this enchanted region. The Gap Is sur
rounded by delights which weeks of ex-
ploration cannot exhaust
COUNTLESS MOUNTAIN TRAILS.
The charm Of this region can scarcely be
exaggerated. Here Nature has been most
prodigal CT her gifts. Through the dim
yecesses of the forest countless mountain
trails tempt the nature lover TO fresh fields
OF explor alton. which more than amply re-
ward his efforts. The entire region is
marked by a most interesting variety OF
plant life. In addition TO the stately groves
of chestnut. ok. hickory. birch. pine
balsam. are to be found in SEASON the vivid
pink Of the gorgeous rhododenGron and the
more delicate mauve Of the mountain laur-

TWO GOLF LINKS NEAR BY.

Two golf links are within easy access.
The electric car line which connects
6troudsburg and Delaware Water Gap Is
one Of the most picturesque in America.
The main highway for this section Is the
Milford Road from the Water Gap or
Stroudsburg to Port Jervls. fully forty
miles away. For at least three-quarters OF
the distance 1t is macadamzed and. even
when It is not. It is so well made and per-
fectly drained that there is hardly day
in tho year when II Is not In admirable
shape for driving or automoblling. The
country along this road is a much frequent
ed summer region and richly deserves It's
patronage.
With an altitude OF nearly 1000 feet above
the sea, the Pocono Mountains cross the
northeastern counties OF Pennsylvania and
belong to the same chain as the Catskills
of New York and the Black Mountains Of
Carolina Not only owing to the altitude,
but also because Of the superior drainage
due TO slope. the abundance Of rocks and
the peculiar lightness OF the soil. the at
mosphere is remarkably dry. The pine
sweetened air Is soft and mild. In II is the
healthful balm and exhilarating cordial
OF the primeval forest. There Is nc ma
laria the nights are cool and yet the alti-
tude is not great enough to cause discom-
fort to the most sensitive. The thermom-
eter registers on an average 10 to 10 de-
grees lower than the cities of New York
and Philadelphia.
The most beneficial place for a vacation
is the one which affords the greatest
change In climate, altitude and environ
ment. and the resulting benefits are In d.
rect proportion to the extent Of this
