THROUGH THE YELLOWSTONE PARK
BY WILMA HAGAR.
Black Band Basin la next visited
Tlie i-p^lngis sixty feet by fifty, am
the bluish boiling water is surround
ed by 4 rim, sloping outward, oom
posed of black sand. The water riset
from this fuuneHlke opening and
flows through the side into a strean
whose banka again rival the rainbow
In ooloring.
Leaving the coaches we follow
guide over a foot-bridge across Iron
Creek. We And on the opposite bank
1 many pools, among them Emerald and
Handkeio tef Pool. The former Is
green because of the combination ot
blue of the water and yellow forma-
tion of its bed. The Algae, a plant
growth is found in most of these pools
and it is the petrified growth of this
. plant over which we walk. Onr guide,
•lyly, tells us that another reason for
this emerald coloring 1b the reflection
We turn away for who wishes to be
considered as green as that. We
threw our handkerchiefs into Hand-
kerchief Pool. Mine sank twice; then
the guide fished it out with a stick. I
found it hot as taken from a boiler.
Imagine twenty to thirty men and
women walking baok to the coach
holding onto the corners or their ker
chiefs, which flipped and flapped in
the breeze ard eun until dry.
We are now in sight of Old Faithful
Inn, an imposing structure of logs.
From its summit waves the American
flag end banners of various kinds. Our
driver points out the search-light
which will play on Old Faithful Gey-
ser tonight. We are to camp nearer
" to this geyser than any other camp.
As we pass its ashy cone a stream of
■team is seen issuing from its crater
and as we drive np In froDt of the of-
fice tent a gosh of water rises to a
height of three or four feet. Our
driver tells us that it will play in seven
minutes. We Lorry to register, and
are out again In time to see that won-
derful prupMon of water. The remark-
ity of this geyser Im-
rion.
We walked in all about five miles.
It was very interesting. In one plaoe,"
i Chinaman onoe built a laundry over
i hot pool. Bnt soap thrown into a
gay 8er bat In causes It to play and If
continued it will play irregularly until
It becomes extinct. Hence the gov
ernmeuthas forbidden the throwing
of any foreign snbstance into the
pools.
We return by way of the curio store
where we rest a few moments then
pass on to camp in time to see - Old
Faithful play again. After supper I
h id planeed to write some letters but
the girls were going over to Old Faith-
ful Inn to see the bears bo I wont
along. Wo found the ladies from the
hotel dressed in evening gowns. I
felt relieved that camp life did not de-
mand slavery to fashion. We stood
back of a wire line waiting for Bruin.
Some priests from the hotel were very
amusing. When they fonnd that Mr.
Lipscomb was from the camp they
said, "Do you sleep in one of those
tents?” “What do you have for
lights?” Mr. Llpsoomb replied, “Tal-
low candies.” “Say,” shouted the
priest to one of his oompauions,
"they have candles over tb.re.” He
seemed to regard camp life as a
peculiar novelty. It was also amusing
to see some of those fashionable ladies
pat on about the bears. So afraid
their husbands would go too near or
stroll in the woods after dark and be
eaten bv a bear. Imagine tbeir horror
and amazement when Bertba graphic-
ally related our bear invasion of the
kiicben at Willow Creek.
Finally we saw a big black bear come
lumbering down the side of the moun-
tain, emerge from tbe piuetrees and
begin to eat from the garbage pile of
tin cans. Nothing very exciting hap-
pened and I was preparing to leave
when another, emaller bear, came out.
Mr. Bruin No. 1, seeing the other
coming, left as fast aa he could. Wo
were much surprised for No. 1 was
the larger of the two. He went up In*

oold and we wrapped up well. What
a orowd of people! Did you hear
that girl? “0 there’s some water aud
It’s wet.” Well, that’s strange, sure-
ly. Don’t we say absurd things some-
timet? Especially when we are In
the presence of tbe great or grand.
Old Faithful, you are beautiful by day-
light; you are marvelous now. It is
over now, so we will m*ke for the

than tbts acme. The blazing ftro leaps
high end sparks fly out to skip about,
then falter and die in mid-air. That
pop-corn smells ao good. What an
lmmeui'n popper. The corn Is popped
over a smaller fire. The popper is
fastened l>v a chain to the center of
tbe three forked sticks. One of the
savages is pupping it for u*. Did I
tell yon? The drivers aud oamp men
are savages; the waitresses, heavers;
the fcolufers, (wattles; the tourists,
dudes. The popcorn is passed to us
and help ourselves from the great

HELPLESS AS BABY
Down in Mind Unable to Work,
and What Helped Her. i
Summit Point, W. Va.—Mis. Anna!
Belle Emey, of this place, says; “I suf-
fered for 15 years with an awful pain In
my right aide, caused front womanly
trouble, and doctored lota for it, but with-
out success. 1 suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help-
less as a baby. 1 was in the worst kind
of shape, was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardui, the womar’a
tonic, and got relief from the very first
dose. By the time I had taken 12 bot-
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 years years old, but feel sa
good as I did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and i feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
over poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them.”
if you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, it will certainly bo
worth your while to give Cardui a trial.
It has been helping weak women for
more than 50 years, and will help you,
too.

of tbe Aoademy Friday evening,
Oot. 31,1913, at tbe girla* ball. This
being Hallowe’en, ghosts met them
at tbe door, some taking their wraps
and othera directing them to a rope,
which led over dark and rough

while hideous noises were being

i eeveu minutes. I saw tlris gey-
ser play several times. Never tired of
tbe eight.
We ate a dinner for which I was al-
most starved. Tbit sensation of hun-
ger la one of the pleasure* ot our trip.
We rise in morning and eat a hearty
breakfast and then about ten o’olock
we tell tiecsr we’re tamiehed. He
polls out bis watch snd laughing, in-
forms that we have two hours or more
nntil dinner time.
After dinner we went for a walk in
geyser-land. First we went over to
Old Faithful. I wouldn’t go near the
crater at first aa we had been told to
keep ten feet away from all holes.
Everyone else went np and peeked in
ao 1 finally did. Of all the (puttering
it wae making. Aa it wee soon time
for it to play I didn’t loiter long. We
■at on a tench and watched it. A
grand eigbtl The rambling conld be
beard several minute* before it sent
ap its first }et. This made me think
of fireworks. At first I wee Impressed
by tbe feroe end power necessary to
produce this strange phenomena. Tbe
more I gaee, I feel its marvelous
beauty. The purity of it* whitnee*.
In my fanoy. I can lee, aa the succes-
sive streams of boiling water follow
each other upward; I can fancy hun-
dreds of brides in lorg, filmy bridal
yells, and carrying torches high above
their heads, rising to vanish In the
billows of steam which drift away to
the pines or descend on the ashy ter-
race and mingle with the water that
oomee from the oveiflow of -the baaln.
Old Faithful has been playing ever
since the discovery of the park and
no one knows how long before. Jest
as it begins to plsv you will hear the
manager or guide at camp shout,
"Old Faithful,” and yon will feel a
strange stirring of the heart as if
homage were being given to the gey-
ser. It is no woodar that heathens
worship phenomena of Nsture, Is it?
At one thirty we followed onr guide
over the crust-like formation to sea
tbs various geysers and pools of tbe
Upper Basin There was* similarity
and tbe nemos will, In most oases,
suggest the shape or coloring, of the
partionlsr one mentioned. Giant and
Giantess. The latter played in the
night for *n hour. I did not hear it.
It mads * great disturbance, si though
a mil* from our oamp, aod awakened
Marly everyone. While these geysers
ars playing, as a usual thing, certain
pools will beooms empty and refill
thslr basins after the drnptlons is over.
Sometimes small gsysera, like the
Beehive will play slew hours before
tbs large one. They ere sort of warn-
logs. We saw the Lion, Lioness, and

kissed eaofi others’ noses end com1
menoed to eat very contentedly.
Bertha wanted to go throngh the
hotel. Mr. Powell was going to con-
duct the Hedriek’e through so we
asked to go with them. The wide,
two-atoried veranda, with its rustic
seats and swings, look very comfort-
able. Entering tbe large lobby we
are attracted first by the immense
stone ohlmney, with a fireplace on
each of its fonr sides. A bright fire of
pine logs oast its oheery glow over
the red ruga upon the floor. Onr eyes
next fell upon the old fashioned dock
that ticked so slowly above the fire-
place. ThU clock baa huge weighU
but ie run bv electrioity. Tiny electric
light bulbs fastened to candle-like
holders are arranged in groups aronnd
the oolonnadea. Tbe room has a me-
tropolitan air for we not only see men
and ladlea In evening dree* bnt ladles
in riding habits and gentlemen in high
boots. The latter are from a saddle
party who have taken supper at the
Inn. We notice that the interior Is
roughly finished logs and ollmb a rus-
tic stalroase, the steps of which were
split logs. We olimbed and climbed
until we reached Loyer’a Den. Thu is
a cosy little baloony overlooking the
lobby. The furniture consisted of
Chairs and a table. Just room enough
for two. The door I* a ourlons piece

We are contemplating the prospeot of

hours here, ourselves, when Paw, Mrs.
Dahllng, and Anna Fletoher arrive.
We notice that the Englishman and
wife loiter longer than neoessary in
this lover’s retreat. They’ve been
married seven yean, too.
We ssoend another flight of stain to
the roof, where we find benohes and
drop down to rest and gaze upon Old
Faithful snd other features of geyser-
land. Wears now among the flag*
and search-light. It is rather chilly

We couldn't refrain from laughing
heartily at the above noneenee and so
aa encore they sang “The Old Savage
Toothbrush,” a parody on “The Old
Oaken Bucket.” Music has charms
that stir the savage breast,” sorely.
Mias Johnson recites a p i e o e
about a little boy who cries and
then resolves be “’alnt a-goln’ to do
it anymore,” but thinking of some
new grievanoe breaks out afresh. Miss
Johnson makes a striking picture as
■be stands In the glow of the camp-
fire. Ebe is a small slender woman
and her child Uke face surrounded by
a halo of light hair is banded with
bright red ribbon band. We oloee the
entertainment with America. Later
we hear some singing Gospel Hymns.
I think It would have been more ap'
proprlate if we had sung them before.
HowdVer, why didn’t I suggest it?
Old Faithful plays by moonlight. I
jumped npon the bed and looked oot
of the tent window.
Camp Is astir early. We have a
long ride before ns today. Bertha ie
rather homesick this morning. I feel
fine. I breath deeply of the pare

joy every minute of the ride. We en.
joy talking this morning. We rest
onr eye* In the shadows of the forest
road. We feel like ohlldren, pleased
with every chipmunk that scarries
across onr path; and every ground
squirrel, that pauses s moment in its
play to watoh us pass, and every
woodohuok that clumsily runs over
therooke. We King to see some deer
or elk. Did I tell you about the old
deer and little ones ws saw on onr
second day’s journey? Not a bit afraid
of us. Simply stood looking at ns

“I’ll wager Paw’s head is bald also. I
told “Paw” that Mr. Powell had asked
permission of the proprietor to show
ns throngh the Inn. “Rets!I” ejacu-
lated “Paw,” “I could go throngh hen
any time. All nonsense about having
to go* permission.” I suppose Paw is
so imposing he’d pass aqywhere.

Onr first stop Is at Kepler’s Css*
cades. We slight on a plank plat-
form and walk over to a point where
we get a view of tho most refreshing
sight. The falls flow over three
shelves of rook making In all a drop
of one hundred and flfty feet. The

is true that MisdNttfhad tho crowd
with her all the lime. Her brilliant
performance as accompanist was the
real life of tbe whole program. We
want to hear another violinist some
time, but we kraut to firet see the

We are just curious to see and hear
a violin virtuoso who doean’t play
these Hungarian Air*. So far in
life we haven’t heard of one—and
we’re getting on tome in years and
have listened to quite e few "mu-
ten" of the “king of inetrumente,’’
nod without exception they have
dished out eomething Hungarian
as the piece par excellence, what-
ever that may mtaq.
Tbe vocal numbers by Mia* Reed
were excellent and pleased her hear-
ers very much. -However, her eolo

most of her hearers, who to the
question, “apreobea eie Deutach?”
would have to answer, “nein.” Bnt
the laet part rung in a sort of fa-
miliar “aoh der lieber Augustine"
roll, that brought a knowing emile
to-the audience, aa though they
would say “we don’t understand a
word, but we know what you mean.”
But candidly we can aay that this
company is composed of real artiati,
aod tbe entertaioment is one of high
merit, though the program is rather
tiresome because of too much same-
ness. But if tbe succeeding enter-
tainments of the oourae are tbe
equal of this first ooe in point of
real merit, tbe purchasers of season
tioketa will get fall value received.
The especially pleating thing to tbe
ladies of the library Msooiation was
the large audience in attendance,
and the receipt* which have already
made them safe on the guaranty,
while Monday nights entertainment
left them a neat sum to tbe eredit of

Houston, Texas, Nov. 4—Cooler

ing wonderful atimulue in various
lines. The dropping temperature
brought a revival of retail trade for
seasonable goods, although produce
men declare wet weather has bad a
retarding effeot in tbeir Hues. Fav-
orable weather hae attended cotton
-ricking, bnt the staple that ie com-
ing in is of low grade and little ie
being taken by factors. Reports
on orop harvests in general are not
aa good as predicted a tew weeks
ago. Dirty cotton means a lower
grade and a receding price.
The movement of tbe rice crop
hae been retarded on aocount of wet
weather, but receipts are beginning
to be better and the price ia weak-
ening correspondingly.
In the Houaton produce market
Florida and Louisiana oranges are
plentiful. Texas oraogea are in
light supply’and are aold as soon as
they reach the market. The market
tor potatoes, onions and oabbage is

ward. Freah receipts of bananas
are noted and there ia a good supply
