GREAT CATHEDRAL OF LEON
One Of Europe's Most Wonderful Ee-
cleslastlcal Buildings 10 In
Shabby Little Spanish Town.

Surrounded by Its prosperous wheat
fields, the shabby little town of Leon
In northern Spain seems peacefully
Indifferent to its out-at-elbows appear
ance, and to the fact that Its streets
are not enllvened by the hustle of
modern industry. A few mule carts
rattle recklessly over the roads, but
otherwise 1t might easily be Sunday
or holiday and everyone away from
home.
The humble dwellings Of the Leon
csc lie In the very shadow Of one
of Europe's most wonderful cathe-
drals. made possible by their ances-
tors generous gifts and wrought by
a master. The cathedral is the cen
ter from which radlates the tran
guilty and harmony felt throughout
the town. It's spires and towers of
softly yellowed stone rise In gracious
welcome above mass Of trees. A
multitude of windows give promise of
a bright, sunlit interior. Carved col
umns and figures frame the portals,
and quaint gargoyles glover from
.nooks in the cornlces. as If to ward
Off all evil.
Inside the hall is vast and silent, light
ed by scores Of stained glass windows.
The maker Of the windows INDUCED
his taste for bright and glowing color
to an extent that would have been
disastrous In q small church; but
through the sweeping length Of the
vaulted nave the colors blend and fall
in soft, rich shades. In this sanctu-
airy of light rests the king who first
planned the cathedral and made Leon
city Of wealth and palaces. Since
his day the city has been destroyed
and plundered and rebuilt. II never
again reached its former greatness,
but the kings cathedral rose from its
ashes, and stands now more beautiful
than the founder had planned.

OWNS A PRICELESS MADONNA
TrapanI, Seaport OF Sicily, Possesses
an Old Statue Which Has an
Interesting History.

Trapanl is one of Slclly's chief sea-
ports-a thriving little town whose
fishing wharves and salt works are
rivals as scenes of bustllng industry.
Trapani's fame is founded largely
upon It's ownership of wonderful
statue of the Madonna. The statue is
valuable relic, the history of which
begins early in the fourteenth century.
Tradition says 1t was at that time
discovered by some Turks floating
about alone In little boat. They
landed their trophy on the shore at
Trapani. But when they wished to
remove their prize, they met with
considerable opposition on the part
of the citizens of the port. Neither
side producing golden-tongued ora
tor who could convince his opponents,
the matter was turned over to fate In
the form of two bullocks, which, by
walking away from the shore when
turned loose, designated that the
image vas to be the property of Ira
PAM.
In the seven centuries of its stay In
the convent of the town 1t has re-
celved valuable collection of
watches, rings. bracelets, and other
ornaments which are hung about 1t,
and rest in heaps upon Its pedestal.
These are the gifts Of those whom the
Madonna has aided. High above the
adoring crowd she stands, smiling as
gently upon the bringer Of a silver
ring as upon the giver Of priceless
Jewel.
Western Sicily abounds in myths
and traditions of the old gods and
heroes. 1t was here that VirglPs
Aeneas Is said to have stopped to wor-
ship in honor Of his fathers memory,
and the city he founded became Ira
nani

How Strangers Act In New York.

In an article by great hotel man In
the American Magazine the writer
says:
at has always been Of interest to me
to see how differently people from 9th
or cities or countries act IN New York
hotels and restaurants. When a West
erner or a SOutherner sits down In
New York restaurant the first
thing he asks for is seafood. West
erners are wild about good oysters,
while the Southerner wants fresh
clans.
"There is nm interesting difference,
too, about the South Americans and
Westerners in New York. The West
ern man comes to the city eager for a
change In food, room, atmosphere, sur.
roundlngs and, In fact, everything.
"The South American Spaniard is
exactly the reverse. He wants his con-
dltIons at home duplicated as nearly
as possible. And because this has
been impressed upon us. we have in
the hotel McAlpin Spanish bell boys.
clerks, telegraph operators, walters,
and last but not least, Spanish cooks"
