The Pyrenees appeal to every pos
sible human interest and awaken
every imaginable passion. Their
flora and fauna exhibit wonderful
variety. Gentians and mountain
roses abound; vultures and eagles,
bears and lizards are found in all the
higher reaches. And nowhere in
mountain ranges can you see such
wealth of forest clad hills as are
found in the glorious yallee G'Appe
or in the charming Vallee de Can
teretz. 1t is this sylvan character of
some of the widest Pyrenean passes
that constitutes one of their most
grandeur of Switzerland.
The traveller will. of course, ap-
proach the Pyrenees from the west
ern end of the range. by way of
Biarritz or Bayonne. And here he is

the inyeterate smuggler and see the

the charm of hill and valley. Then
further eastward We strike the VAL
ley of Roncesyalles, famed for its
connection with Charlemagne and his
twelve Peers. And drawing upon our
stored historic knowledge, We recall
how natives of these hills in by
gone days must have watched the
successive armies of Hannibal and
Pompey, of the Goths and the Sara

XIII. and scores of other conquerors
surging around the base of the noun

have made history.

The Pyrenean resorts are easily
reached from the Chemin de Fer du

may be traversed by the spelndid
roads which were constructed under
the direction of the Emperor Ma

mountains may be scaled in safety,
while others. such as Mont Perdu
and the Marlboro, call for all the skill
and intrepidity of the practiced
mountaineer. Everywhere you find
charm of scenery. interest OF folk

visit to the Pyrenees is to fall a VIC

mighty mountains.

MRS. HARD|NC'S
CONDITION is
EXTREMELY CRAVE
Dr.. Mayo Summoned to Wash
ington; Belief Expressed
Operation Was Necessary.
SIMILAR ATTACK IN
1916 ALMOST FATAL
Temperature Rose During Day;
Doctors Experience Diff
Guilty Combating PoiSonS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. gu. P.)-
An official bulletin at nine o'clock to-
day says Mrs. Harding, whose condi-
ton caused grave concern last night,
passed d fairly good night with her
condition as favorable as can be ex-
pected at this time. The president has
cancelled all the todays engagements
and ain order was issued closing the
white house gates to visitors.
Mrs Harding's malady was origin
ally AN infection of the kidneys, This
was complicated by a cold. The sum-
moning of DR.. Mayo, of Rochester
gave rise to the belief that an opera
ton was necessary to save her life.
Four physicians remained at her bed=
SIDE until three O'Clock this morning
administering opiates to relieve the
pain. Attorney General Daugherty
after remaining all night at the white
house said when leaving early this
morning that Mrs. Harding's condi-
tion was extremely grave. News that
the life of Mrs Harding was endan-
gered startled Washington.
Gravest Anxiety
Secretary Christian said there was
the gravest anxiety because of the
daily rccurenceIo the complications
during .the earN morning 'honi's and
before noon. DR.. George T. Harding,
the presidents brother arrived this
morning and is also in attendance. A
similar attack in 1916 almost prov
ed fatal. Friends fear the handicap
of the six additional years. Mrs.
Harding is over go. The president is
minstering to his wife as much as the
doctors would allow.
Her temperature rose with the day
md the doctors experienced difficulty
n combating the poisons. General
s;awyer came from the sick chamber
at 1886 p. m. and said there was mol
change in her condition. There will
he no further official bulletin until 8
p. m. DR.. Mayo arrives at 7:40 sun
day morning.
