Life in the German Capital - Berlin, Oct 17.Berlln is a little oft the beaten track ot tlrst trip tourists and therefore is not so far famed for beauty as Paris, perhaps. Host people reserve It for a second trip, unless they come .for aome par- have , done. It is unfortunate "that in their itineraries, for to my mind, and ;a great many more competent judgrea agree, it is a much prettier city i than. Paris, It Is certainly the . cleanest city we saw "In our travels this .summer. The buildings hav not that dingy look that pervades Italy, and France and makes -one long for permission - to use a ' whitewash . Ibrush. '! Of course, It is a modern city, In comparison with Home or ' Pls,' but that la not "the whole se cret of Kg,- cleanliness. . The Ger man peopje lainK inuuii ui oukii " things and m never to Ure. of scrubbing. They; are like the Dutch In that respect.. They love flowers, ' conle? filled with beautiful gera , ntums and bright petunias. They i decorate the . streets also , with plots of . grass and shade trees. Every five or six blocks you come upon a plats; filled w.lth grass, trees. . and fountains. There are no better pave- , merits In' the world tnan tnese in Berlin.- Most of the sidewalks are paved with the smallest stones, each little piece-.set in by hand in some- times elaborate patterns. Unterden Linden Is Berlin's . Fifth ' avenue. U is very wide and has a double ro.of lime trees down the 1 entre, beneath which Is the prome- ' Had. At on. , end of -the .street t separating it from the Tlergarten, their largest park, is the Branden burg Thor or gate; and at the other end is the Schlossr Royal Palace, f Between these points are the finest shops ,in Berlin, the swellesf cafes " and most of the beautiful churches and - 'museums of the city.. The Reichstatf-Gebrande dr Capitol Build- 1 Ing Is near Unterden Linden - Ahd, while it does not come up in size or , splendor to our own Capitol, is very ' dutiful. Not far ffay are'Leip- erer and Frledrich Sasses, the two DUmesB Hireeis ui 1110 viij. Potsdam, about fifteen miles are more of the royal palaces, and here . the royal .family. .live , practically tha whole year, only .coming' to tho city for two or three months in ihidwlnter. Everything . in Germany , la run. by .law. We music students are not allowed to if actiee except at certain hours. From 2 o'clock to 4 every day the whole population takes an after-dinner nap and all pianos must toe silent. By law they have set an hour for Catering all those 'balcony flowers. Only at one certain time ' of the day does-' tha German have to watch for the dripping water from ' balconies. , I came home once and found my' room mate very excited. - She asked at once what crime I had . committed, for . the police had come .U -..at Uy, a to the bouse and Inquired for me. Next day they t came again and with considerable difficulty made . me understand that I had hung a small brush out the window and that, though the room was three stories above the ' street, It was , strictly against the law to hang anything out the window. It was liable to fall and hit paasersby. And so it Is with everything down to the smallest and most unexpected details; they have regulations and If strangers do not happen to know their little ,Iaws they suffer for it. The day a for eigner lands in Germany the police have him fill out blanks stating" his business at home and abroad, how long be expects to stay, his age and, as one man said, what he Is thinking about. Students very often have trouble with ' landladies - in the dif ferent' pensions,' for; unless things- go Just right they can quote a new law. They are often disagreeable if vyou want to make a change and have the right to demand fifteen days' no tice. We, ourselves, have been lucky In the line of boarding houses In that we ' managed to get- .with a woman who Is accustomed to Amerij can boarders. We can do many things here as we do at-home. For Instance, most students are given the advice never to mention the-royalty, for fear of saying something ' dis respectful; but we talk without re serve about the Kaiser's family, though It did shock the lady once when one girl remarked that she had had her first ., glimpse of the Crown Princess the night before at the opera, and that she ' certainly could . not be .called pretty. Quick as u flash every German insisted that the Princess was "sehr schou.". The German military system Is, of course, famous over the world. They take (treat pride tn uniforms and equipments generally. ', We had' an opportunity this fall of seeing their Herbst Parade or autumn review. Twentyreight " regiments " were In spected by the Kaiser on Templehofer Field, a large open field tn the edge of the city. . When we got there at 9 o clock in the morning the place was already covered with soldiers as far as the eye could see. . Each regi ment has Its own uniform and' other Insignia and its own band of musical instruments. , As the TKalser and his band struck up its . own tune . and , cathedral every Sunday morning to continued the medley until he had, hear the beautiful choir.

However, the orches tras are always the best and the staging of the pieces good. The con cert halls are numerous; In fact, the German peopje hear music all .their days.' In all their, restaurants and cefces good music, played by good orchestras, la furnished. Speaking of their theatres, though, there is one thing they have never learned to appreciate, and that Is fresh air. 'When an act begins they close every door and not one breath of good air gets in until the act Is over. 'Then the crowd gets out Into the corridors, buys beer and sandwiches and promenades up and. down until the next act is called. vYes they drink beer at any and all times. I have often wondered where all the hops grow that furnish these gallons Of beer. , Every ttfo or three street numbers you come upon a cafe or Garten, as they call them. It is usually an enclosed court, with sometimes hundreds of tables. Often sandwiches and drinks of all kinds can be ordered, but the majority of the people are drinking beer. And there they sit for hours listening to the music and chatting occasionally and drinking one 'glass after another. They go home then and drink again at meals. Most., of them 1 have a positive dislike for water and cannot understand why Americans insist on drinking ltv Ices ' of all kinds-they consider very dangerous, and most of .them have never heard of ice cream soda. ., Americans are well provided ' for here, and if they have a little previ ous preparation and know what to except they usually manage to get along fairly ' well... The language ; is of great .vexation and very hard to learn to speak. , The American Women's Club has been a great help to students. The members have the use of a good library and . can read there American magazines and news papers. They also have French and German 'classes. -There ,1s a pension In. connection, 1 but ' for any one who wants to see German life It is much better to live with a German family, There you get practical lessons tn the language and see real -'student life. There is also an American church supported by the colony. It Is a combination ' of ; Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, etc. The services are in English and the hymns sound very much like home. It Is hard, however to resist going to the regiment after anotner marched by In all Its glory. After the Infantry came several artillery battalions and then the cavalryi - The training of the horses was wonderful. They kept perfect step and time with the music and never varied from the line.' The Crown Prince's regiment was especl ally Interesting, as he . headed it. Every, horse in the regiment was black and the men wore white uni forms. .When the review wa over they formed a line of march ' back to fhe city by way of Frledrich strasce. A fcreat many pdffine come to Ger In the cities smaller than Berlin it may be so. Here everything has ad vanced In . price ' In the last year or so, due, they say,- to the increasing number of tourists. . The one thing that Interests us most Is music, ' ot course, and the opportunities of hear ing that are many and the tickets very cheap; compared with home ferices,- The operas are usually given P:la good, all-round cast, though the One large department store, Kauf haus der Westens, Is run on the American plan and caters especially to Americans. It is unfortunate,, but tha people here have In a great measure adopted the trick practiced in Italy and France of raising prices lor American patrons, it is said that a German can have the same comforts much cheaper. Until we learn tha language and can express our wants and complaint In German w are at their mercy, We are looking forward, but Hot with pleasure, to a cold winter, with snow from November to April, Right now, tha middle ot October, we are having what Southerners would call winter weather, and it .has been so since I came in August Berliner would shrivel up In our hot cummer sun. They simply have no concep tlon of heat The city Is In tha same parallel of lattltude with Labrador, and I Imagine has 'about the same climate. At any rate, It willb cold for a South Carolinian. - K1TTIE II. JUHXPATWCK. 72 Motzstraasa. BAMOjfBEMARKfc f BY. TItO J AN1. This writer, , in a recent issue of The - Observer, had a little squlb in reference to the fine October weather that appeared to make a favorable impression on the mind of one of the most delightful citizens of Greensboro and .he wrote his appreciation In words that are stimulating. He says In part: "I , wa particularly struck by your opening paragraph in The Observer, and the resonant note in the first part of the Greensboro correspondence in The News and Observer, my good iriena. Anarew Joyner. By reading the enclosed you will also no doubt be struck by the co-incirtncA of hi showing "October-Happiness.11 while you were induclnsr others to feel It.

Ke possibly was not conscious of feeling perfect ly oft that "pastoral prose poem." but ne was irying to neip somebody else I . honestly believe, and therefore breathed his own happiness In every line.

Una, As my wife says when she goes into the kitchen to get breakfast: "It's hard but It's fair." The saloon keeper may think it hard to give up so invit ing a field, but the fight on his busi ness has been fair. ' One . of the ad' thoughts Incident to tha present financial flurry is that there are men who love the "dear oeo- ple" ao much that they will be great ly disappointed If a full-fledged panic falls to materialise. In reading dif ferent papers so often is seen senti ment that has no tendency except to make a happy and .prosperous people believe that thev are not happy and prosperous, but the tools and serfs of rim men and grasping corporations. Ye right here the tobacco farmers are rapidly bringing In their , great, loads of the. weed and getting satisfactory pries, not to mention for every other srticle, the product of the farm.

" ' OncflUpon.a time in North Caro lina, when the liquor saloon flourish ed like the never-fading green and; tho doors stood wide open, night and day, that the thirsty wayfarer might get his liquid refreshment, among he customers going into one of these grog rnops," as Judge Pearson al ways called them, was a boy. In that day there was, no law protecting minors and the young were as wel come, sometimes more so. as the mid dle-aged or old people. This boy was maxing nis first step Into the open mill that has ground out the lives of millions before their time, but It was not his last step by many "Jug-fulls" to his sorrow and that of others. He took his first drink mixed up with other pleasant to-the-taste ingredi ents and In a, little while the first ex perience In reaching for the glass was a fall down. The boy's father gave him a sound thrashing for this in dulg&ncb, and then asked him; "Which do you like best t:ie rod or Jim's liquor?" The hoy didn't an swer, but evidently he liked - the grog best for he went after It again and became sufficiently acquainted with the stuff as to get on with several more glasses than one. The truth K 4Uked the liquor and never real ised until after many years' Indulg ence the grip he was In and nothing but-he grace of God, after repent ence, broke the chains of the giant. Now ithen, the above picture Is . but An illustration of why so many young men In North Carolina went to their graves long, before their time, , God Almighty never Intended It that way. Only as a sure result of the violation of law. However,- that . love for the very first ' drink must have been an Inheritance from soma one. So the closing up ot tne eaioon is going to be a great protection to the boy of to-day. - No .doubt about, that Few Indeed are the new who begin drinking liquor after 81 years of age. Keep It out of a hoy until that period .and ho Is apt to have character enough then, to stand the storm. There may be a lot of hyrocrlsy. and selfishness, desiring the promotion of political evJs In this prohlbtlon agitation, but ' all he same it has come as a direct ra ft uK of the people at last beholding tha danger to the rising generauon, And If the oolltlclan sees the drift no- bod blames him If he takes tha water course, to get hit Jo.' But apropos, of this prohibition wave It Is said that the ex-saloon men down at Raleigh Now we will conclude these ram bling nations with a few verses from James: "Go to now, ye that say, to-day or to-morrow we will go Into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell and get gain;" "Where as ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what Is your life? It is even a vapour, that appear, eth for little time, and then vanish eth away." "For that ye ought to say. If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." "Therefore to him that knowath to do good, end doeth It not, to him It Is sin." Submitted without comment.' The teaching In the above practical words Is plain and may they be helpful In some way to each reader.
