Christmas at Asuncion, the
Capitol of Paraguay

electric street car lines, and many automo-
biles, that go around the corners without
regard to speed limit. The town has
board of trade, many banks, and it has
large exporting and importing houses. 1t
has many fine factories of different con-
struction. There is a crowd of people up
on the streets day and night.
There are many people from the United
States, Australia, England and Germany.
English is spoken quite as much as Span
ish. There are also many Spanish who
speak English. So one has but little diff
Guilty in making their wants known, and
enjoy the sights of the city.
But this being Christmas Day the city
was decorated in gayiety. There were
groups of Americans, Germans and English
throughout the big park, enjoying them
selves, and some no doubt were thinking
and talking of their loved ones, who were
many miles away. There were sports of
all kinds. There was football games, boat
racing, horse-racing, and different kinds of
games for children, and many other games
of sport.
The Paraguans are natural gamblers.
They will bet upon anything, and they
have the American desire for getting rich
quick.
There is one game known as the Game
of Beasts. This was originated by for
mer manager of the geological gardens.
He wanted more people to come to the
zoo, and originated scheme whereby
prizes were given to the persons holding
entrance tickets that bore the name of GER
tain animals. If l am correctly informed
there were twenty five animals on the var
ious tickets, and a certain one of these was
picked out for prize. The game became
popular and the zoo was kept crowded, not
only on this day, but from Sunday to Sun
day. The name of this game is ''Jogo-do-
Bicho.' On the occasion the city was
beautifully decorated with flags, bunting
and flowers. With each group of people
there was the flag of their native land:
American, English, French and German
flags were to be seen everywhere. In
some of the stores there was Old Glory to
be seen, and would often 60 there to see
it.
Those who have never had longing to
see the American flag, will never know
what it means to them. But those who
have been away from it for some time real
ize its value. There are many Americans
who in a FOREIGN land would walk manv

lates ones loneliness. l have
carried small American flag for
years, on land and at sea, andk
have always looked to see a big
one; the bigger the better would
feel after viewing it, although priced my
little one very much.
After being in Asuncion for about three
months, 1 decided to return to Beunos
Aires, over land. Leaving Asuncion, we
crossed the Alto Parana river from Encar-
nacion to Pasados by train. The Alto Pa
rama is very wide at this point, and the
through cars from Asuncion to Beunos
Aires are carried across on ferry. The
banks of the river are high, and the cars
are lowered by wire cable. Our boat
went up the stream for some distance and
made an arc of circle in coming to the
Argentine boundary. We crossed in the
evening. The city of Pasados, with its
hundreds of electric lights, shown plainly
out from the opposite bank and the rays
of electricity reflected in the Parana looked
like pillars of gold upholding the somber
blue shore.
Landing at Pasados, decided to stop
over for few days to see the surrounding
country and the Argentine Mesopotamit,
that great body of fertile land between the
Uruguay and Paraguay rivers. The coun-
try is an island. On the extreme north it
has the Rio Iguazu river, several hundred
miles above Pasados. The Alto Parana
bounds it on the north, the Parana on the
west and south, and the Uruguay on the
east. l have been told that the whole
country is made up of the earth washings
of these mighty rivers, and it some day
will be one of the thickest populated parts
of the world.
Pasados is the northern capitol of the
region. 1t is town of 10000 people, sit
uated on a bend of the Parana, below
which the great river spreads out like
lake. There are islands below the city,
and these abound with game, including
puma, jaguar, and tapir. There are also
big fish in countless numbers in the rivers,
and many fishing boats can be seen at all
times. The town is one of the centers of
the mate industry, and its mate factories
are now making Paraguay tea for shipment
to all parts of southern South America. 1t
has several good stores, three banks, and a
number of clubs.

T\O GIVE you some idea
of Asuncion, one of the

cities of 10000 population. 1t is situated
in the heart of the great wilderness, but
large steamers come right up to its wharves.
The river is wide and deep all the way,
and after leaving the Parana Delta there is
practically nothing but forest on each side
of the waterway. 1t is only when you get
close to the shore that you can study the
tropical vegetation. In some places you
can see that the trees are matted together
with vines. You observe that the bark is
often silver gray and that much of the for
est is loaded with flowers. Some of the
grandest trees have the brightest of bios

dred feet high, with branches extending
out over the waters, and the whole mass

trees with flowers like buttercups, and
many orchids of various kinds grow in
abundance. Flowers everywhere. And
the wild orange and banana tree, with it's
load of golden fruit is to be seen every
which way you turn. Think of spending
Christmas Day among wild flowers and
golden fruit, in midsummer. Oranges are
the chief fruit of Paraguay, they grow wild
throughout the country. They are gath
cred with large dump-carts by people who
make business of gathering wild oranges.
They are taken to the wharves and dump

One may have all the oranges one can eat
for the asking. The flavor of the wild
oranges are delicious, as they are picked
after they have ripened on the tree. There
is no doubt but that some day Paraguay
will become the fruit garden of the world.
Not only fruit, but an agricultural center
as well. Their wheat, oats, corn, and their
cattle, sheep and hogs are equal to any in
South America.
Arriving at Asuncion, you land in a civil
lized city, with its 100000 inhabitants.
Many of the buildings are equal in size
and beauty to any in South America. The
Palace of Justice is of white marble and
the City Theater has golden dome, deco
rated with the national colors. The theatel

including gymnasium, public swimming
pools, and public library. There are hos
