This position was declared to be:
That neither Carransa nor any other1

That tbe real purpose of the rev.
olution was accomplished a year ago.
when Huerta was overthrown, and that

the imagination, produce a certain ex
hilaration. Tbe people, old and young, moved
placidly along, pausing frequently to
feast upon tha prospect which a turn
of the road or an opening among the
trees afforded. Above them the moun
tains were touched with snow, and
light mist that held tbe threat of rain
hung over the remote peaks.
Below them was radiant sunshine,

green and granite, lay shimmering

never to lose their gloss, and In some

On tha broad walks enclosing the
town park Bergen was taking its
promenade. Bergen is always mora or
less on promenade when the weather Is
bright, but. irrespective of the weather,
It goes promenading in the afternoon
from 1 o'clock to 1 and in the evening
from 7 to I with "a formality that
amounts almost to a rite.
During thene houra the military band
plays, and Bergenerv moving in wide
procession along th east side of the
park, either visit with animation or
flirt sedately. -
Of the endless daylight which Sum
mer brings they make tha fullest use.
and after the evening meal at S o'clock
many of tha people resume tne prom
enade, with the result that the streets
are lively until nearly midnight.
The refrain of one of the old songs
of the region of which Bergen is tbe
metropolis Is "Live and Let Live." and
those who know Norway well say tbe
Bergeners live the refrain, not fever
ishly but on a normal basis that sus
tains the wholo social fabrlo pretty
evenly.
Only a few of the men are very rich.
and not many are very poor. Almost
everybody works. Including the daugh
ters of families of name and position,
but nobody has to work killing hard.
All the banks are closed from 2 to
30, and for at least the hour of
the afternoon promenade everybody
more or. leas makes holiday.
Life is simple, but it is full of a
rational kind of amusement. Tbe peo

cheap. I have heard of no place in
central or northern Europe where one
can fare so well for so little as at the
good hotels in Bergen.
For 'an American traveler the town
