ful pleasures a sulphide is debarred The Hague Is by tar the most Interesting and up to date city In Holland. It seems almost like a cosmopolitan center. Many languages are spoken and the people are very gay. The people of The Hague try their best to Imitate the French, both in dress sad customs, even speaking French in their home circles. In the streetts everything is hustle and bustle, and they are crowded with Haguers, wagons and milk carta. We stopped at the Central hotel, and in all Europe I never saw such a place. If you ever get dopte and sad and need excitement, go to the Central hotel at The Hague. v It is a little

The Same Old Show

«. Saturday.. last nearly every prominent fisherman In Williamsport was fishing for trout in Lycoming red worms, minnows and %vsy kma of lure and bait was used, but no one seemed to be catching any trout—that Is anything above six or ■even Inches. Finally along came a small boy, Willie Rogers, aged ten or twelve yearn, fishing with a crooked line’' and a big hook. He baited it with an angle worm and threw It In Just under - the new Third street bridge. Hardly had the line gotten Into the* 1 water before he had landed a big. set trout 16 Inches long. The boy never stopped to play ihe *»,<*** gave-hiart** flapped him out onto Around the lad were a dozen men fishing expensive tackle and they were nearly j

Set svlnlngen. It Is one of the moat picturesque villages in Holand, and the pea Rants here are the real Holland people, and not dressed up for show, as on the Isle of Markham. Their dresses are of somber blue and gray, and their faces have a serious look to

Fiery typical of Holland. Wind-mills are scattered along—great strong wind-mills that look capable of any amount of work. The flat, well kept roadi'She bordered by trees. They are'’fine roads for bicycles. The canals are very much used In Holland; On ourway from The Hague to Delft we passed many a towboat loaded with hay and grain, towed by a slow old nag, poked up by a fair haired Dutch lad. Lazy Holland cows dotted the landscape. They are supposed to give the Iffnpst milk on earth. Of course, the first thing one ex'-' pects to find in Delft are little bltas teacups and little White plates decorated with little blue windmills. . - And the funny part Is, they are the first thihgs to be seen arranged in. .the store windows and even ;in the, , win-, dows of some of the homes. The streets of Delft are nearly all canals With side paths along each edge, and little arching bridges at crossing. The principal sight In Delft IS the Church of‘St. Ursula.
