GRANTS PASS MAN IN A FOREIGN
LAND HAS AN ENJOYABLE VACATION
Velp, Oct. 2, 1910.
Editor Courier; For the past two'
, months we have made our home la
one of the prettiest spots In the NYth
W'tlniuK where we can wander In thej
.pine wood- and can climb hills, i
where the heal her grows and blooms. I
Hiving, for a short season, much:
beauty to the moors, which are quite
abundant In this province. The vll-j
lam or Velp (S000 inhabitants) is j
' unite a lively place In July and Aug-
list, when many of the residents of
j Amsterdam, the Hague and Rotter-j
dam come to spend their summer vn!
I cut Ion here and enjoy the beautiful j
(walks and drives In this vicinity.
The number of automobiles In use i
here Is not large as compared with,
the United Slates, but I have been
!itunred by the number of bicycles t (
I be seen dally In city and coun'.ry, I
! for all classes still ride, some for!
'pleasure, some for exercise, while
many wheels are used for quick de
livery of various kinds of merchan
dise, I rented a very good bicycle
I fur $3 a month ami have enjoyed
many n ride nlotiR the smooth, shady
avenues that abound In this section
of the country, for the roads were
built centuries ago and are very well
kept up. having bicycle paths nt the
side. Here the people speak of cen
turies as we do (lf decades. The
bons, where we are Is fully 100 years
old and one where we visited recent
ly In Haarlem (near Amsterdam) Is
over two centu'-ies old. The latter
bouse faces a court and while com
modious and well built, one of Its
oddities Is that two of the upstairs
rooms are two feet lower than the
ball which leads to them, so that
three Mens down bring you Into the
room.
In nearly all the towns and cities
of 15,000 or more Inhabitants In
Nererland are found cathedrals (In
Hutch "Create Kerk") which were
built from four to six cent ni b s ago
by (lie Roman Catholics, but all of
those In the northern provinces are
now used by the Hutch Reformed
church (the state church of the Neth
erlands), having become government
property when this country threw- off
the yoke of Philip 11. of Spain, and of
the pope at one and the same time,
low ai ds the dose of the sixteenth
c-Mituv. Helng In Haarlem over
Sunday I attended service at the
cathedral (All of them are built so
i to form a cross), (inly the cen
tral part of the building Is fitted up
with pews, the pulpit box is built up
about six of seven feet and is reach
ed by a stairway, while over it is
suspended a flat, octogonal sounding
board, without which it would be
very hard for the preacher to be
by all, for the roof must be nearly
100 feet up. At one end of the cathe
dral the chancel still remains, though
never used, while a great organ fills
the other end. Around the space
used for services the floor is literally
made of flat tombstones, three feet
by seven feet, for until a century ago
many of the nobility and of the mid
dle classes were burled in the cathe
drals. The inscriptions and carving
on the majority of these stones are
illegible because of the thousands of
worshippers and visitors that have
walked over them. Near k one wall I
found a stone with coats of arms ela
borately carved on It and perfect in
scription, showing that father and
son of an aristocrat family were
buried these in 1716 and 1718. The
Dutch Reformed church here still
adheres to the simple service, con
gregational singing, prayer, 45
mlnute sermon and two collections.
The collections are taken during the
sermon, which is divided in two
parts, a hymn being sung between
part one and two of the sermon. As
soon as the benediction was pro
nounced the men all put on their
hats.
We spent a week in Amsterdam,
Haarlem and vicinity, and as the
weather man was good to us we were
able to visit many interesting places.
Futhermore, we had the pleasure of
seeing Queen Wilhelmlna and Prince
Ilendrik and King Albert and Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium, as they drove
through Amsterdam, The Belgian
king and queen were entertained in
Amsterdam by the Dutch queen and
consort and there wa3 much festivity
on their account. One evening they
had several of the Dutch warships
illuminated, which was a very pretty
sight and of which I managed to get
a good photo. Haarlem is the cen
ter of the bulb culture and on a
beautiful drive we passed several of
the bulb farms. A trip by steamer
from Amsterdam to the Island Mor
ken in the Zuider Zee and returning
via Volendam, Monikendam and from
there through canals to Amsterdam,
was very interesting on account of
the quaint costumes worn by the
fisherfolk of Morken and Volendam,
but so many American and English
tourists have visited there that they
have become show places, and nt.
Morken, when you step ashore, girls
In costume greet you with 'Tost
cards, very nice," and while going
along the streets, ivhen they saw a
kodak they would cry "photograph,
photograph," and then expect you to
pay for the privilege if yon took a
snap shot of them.
One of our most enjoyable side
trips from Ilanrlem was to Aekmoor,
a city of 20,000 people and famous
for its cheese market, held there
every Friday morning. Aekmoor Is
well worth a visit because of its
quaint, old buildings and pic
turesque views along Its busy, clean
canals, but when you add to this the
cheese market, where the methods of
buying and selling are the same as
they were centuries ago. It makes the
town intensely interesting, The
cheeses are of the Edam type, hut
not painted, so that they resemble
huge oranges, The farmers bring
them in Thursday nfternoon and Fri
day morning, nnd arrange them in
tiers, covering them with canvas till,
nt the stroke of 10 o'clock, the mar
ket opens. The center of attraction
for visitors Is at the weighing hall.
Here are four immense balance
scales, weight master and assistants
and four groups of off-bearers. The
off-bearers are dressed In white,
jwlth flat straw hats, yellow, red,
irreen or blue (each group Its par
ticular color) and they are the busy
people. About 100 dieses are put
on a rounded tray with projecting
I handles at either end. Large straps
I go around the men's shoulders nnd
I loop over the ends of the tray
I handles, and It Is amazing to see the
Itfpeed with which two men carry their
i load of at least 500 pounds, for they
i are paid according to the amount
I handled, nnd each group tries to
make the best record. They go at
;a pace between n shuffle nnd a dog
trot nnd people who get In their way
are Jostled to one side without cere-
