Wednesday morning, with an early start, we find the temperature assuming winter, and for a time gladly tighten our wraps and drink in the bracing atmos­ phere. It would seem in passing over the road again to the Upper Geyser Basin that there were, a hundred camp­ ers or more within sight, which prove to be not camp fires but smoking Geysers, and on account of so much steam rising the fog is very dense in the morning We etjoyed going over the road, drinking in the wonderful Bight for the last time. We, make a stop at the! Basin, to be greeted by Old Faithful. Journeying on, viewing the delightful scenes along the Fire Hole River, we leave the coach and go to projecting rocks and.look over the chasm to view.Keplar ( aseades, rushing, maddening waters falling over different stratas of rocks, framing a picture worthy of praise, whether on memory's tablet or imitated by the brush. For grand waterfalls one need not go farther than the Yellowstone. Its rapids, cas­ cades, creeks and rivers, the two last trout laden, furnish food for anyone who enjoys Nature in its fullness. We fiud ourselves ascendingacaiu and reach an altitude of over 8,000 feet, the roadway winding around and around the mountains with a pretty brook with­ in the ravine until we reach what seems to be the samrnit, called Corkscrew Hill, where the sharp curves around the inouutain are so great one can hardly Ste the lead horses. Here the road is level aud the teamsters make up time lost in going up grade. We fiud our coach twisting around these beuds with just room enough to pass over, looking to the awful depths below one does not fear but seems exhilerated and can not resist hallooing to hear the echo on the distant mountain side. From this prominence one can see in the distance such inspiring pictures. Snow covered mountains with pretty lakes nestled at the base, mountains covered with dens*- forests of pine, the sunlight aud shadows here causing the colorings to vary, and one could but feel that G-d in hi8 wleo provision mafle 1 His children hero to guard and k?ep The "harming spot where this is (aid, To pros>s.rve in fiacrednesereplete. The overhanginR rocks, the vales, The loity pines, the bubul ng stream?, In lau hvng music plainly telln The God of Natuie kindly beams. t While winding round the Corkscrew Hill The ploasing sights ihera brought to view The Hiiow-ciippci peaks, i sec them still, brand inspiration .ends so true. We reach the West Thumb Station for lunch, after which many of the party took the little steamer across the lake to the Lake Hotel. Near this station is the boiling spriug at the ed«e of the lake, rt- nowued for it being possible to afciind on its cone and catch fish, turning droi> them into the boiling contents of tin spring and cook them There are many pools aud a group of paint pots in this basin. At an early hour our coach takes us on, the distance of twenty miles beside the Yellowstone Lake. I must not fail to mention the many beautiful flowers of this country, whose bright colorings help to relieve the nakedness, where nature it. left to cause the destruction of its many, mans fallen trees, springing between tie decayed trunks, these bright and intei- estiug clusters make cheery the spot aud are a hiding place for couutless gophers, squirrels and ground hogs, who seeming ly know no fear, as the sound of a rifl-- has been unknown since the ownership by the government. At the beginning ol this afternoon's drive, a large basin of this formation revealing boiling spring- here and there, wo saw the fate of two horses belonging to campers, who had ventured too near. Rescuers being close at baud prevented them from getting a good scalding, and with ropes and blan kets soon restored them to terra firms. The road during this drive extends through dense forests of pine, and it wan here the people following us the day after were held up and robbed, so it was re­ ported. The clearings made the ride pleasant, as nature supplied her .own shade during the heat of the day, and, too, being in close proximity to the lake, the view was pleasing aud interesting. Now and then could be seen a bird's nest made at the top of an old dead tree, sim­ ilar to an eagle's, but belonging to what are called fish hawks, a hugh, heavy, short-legged bird, of grey and white plutnage, whose mammoth bodies rodi the waves of the lake with ease and msjesty. As we neared the Lake Hotel the grass and trees looked as if man had been at work clearing away fallen trees, etc., nearer representing our city Parks. The gnat green lawns and variety oi trees adding beauty to this roadway alongside the lake, which has the reputa­ tion of being one, if not the highest body of water in the country, its altitude be­ ing 7,788 feet. From this side of the lake the mountains outlining the oppo­ site side stand out to view, and plainly visible is a perfect outliue of a huge face, named the Giant. This wonderful pro­ file, laying against the blue sky as a background, is as plainly visible as the Sphinx, The lake rtfleets the monsteron its crystal bosom aud the picture is one difficult i o -'epcribe. The Lake Hotel did not detract from. its former associates, and we found everything for ourcomfort The dining room wns decorated with garlands of wound pine twigs and a large bouquet of wild flowers graced each ta­ ble. Our*party gathered in the great reception rooms in the evening and there met the renowned Calamity Jane, whose former life and record had made her noted as a Female Indian Scout. A veri­ table diamond in the rough, whose life in the great west and the daring duty per­ formed for Uncle Sam made this charac­ ter famous. In the early morning, with a companion, we visited her camp, gath­ ering wild flowers and moaes near by. With a camp fire near the bank of the charming lake, we found Ja >e preparing breakfast for her leige lord (who by the way is a cow boy, a youth of 21 years, and she a woman of 46) and two soldiers who joined in the meal. Had not the time been near for starting on our jouruey we would have accepted of the generous invitation'.to dine. • - \ Yellowstone lake is a very peculiar, ir­ regular body of water, consisting of the main one and three distinct arms. The west arm is a good sized circular lake, joined to the main lake by a narrow body of water. There are numerous islands interspersed within the confines of this vast basin of water, one of con­ siderable size visible from the Lake Hotel, where animals of various kinds are kept and cared for, such as buffalo, elk, deer, etc. The waters of this lake are cold and full of trout Some of the party who had 3rossed on the steamer had time to try catching some of these handsome finny tribe, and were very successful, but the only difficulty iu so doing is that the sport proves a costly one, as the boat, tac'de and devices nec­ essary cause them to be golden fish in more than one sense of the word. But then, you know, it is not always one has the opportunity of catching -salmon trout. EMMA PHILLIPS. HUSBAND SOLD FOR $23. Transaction of 800 Hucksters--Bill of Sale Questioned. Mrs. Hannah Robinson, 25 years old, sold her husband, John, for $25, to Mrs. Jennie Gray, a widow, recently, and now she regrets it. She wants him back, but Robinson and the widow in­ sist upon the agreement, says the New York Post. The Robinsons were mar­ ried in Scotland on April 30, 1888, and they have a son 2 years old, who is be^ng cared for by. his grandfather in Jersey City. For the past year the Robinsons lived on the ground floor rear of 621 W. 45th street. On the opposite side of the hall lived Mrs. Gray, who is a dealer in oil cloth. Both Robinson and his wife are hucksters and peddle from house to house oil­ cloth that they bought from the Widow Gray. Recently Mrs. Robinson no­ ticed that her husband and Mrs. Gray were very friendly and she made a proposition to sell him for $25. "You don't mean it," said the widow. "You give me the money and you can have my husband," was the reply. "Well, I do everything legally, and the transfer must be made through a notary," said the widow. This Mrs. Robinson agreed to do, and on the following day Mrs. Gray and the Robinsons called upon a notary public, Niner, who drew up a regular bill of sale. It was signed by Mrs. Robinson after she received the $25. Since then Robjnson has been living with the widow, and moved his effects across the hall. Mrs. Robinson had a good time as long as the money lasted. But in three days It was all gone. She then realized that she had been foolish for having sold her husband at such a small figure and demanded his return from Mrs. Gray. But Mrs. Gray and Robinson both refused. Mrs. Robin­ son then went about her neighbors and told them about it. They all told her that selling a husband was against the law and advised her to apnly for their arrest in' court. She seeured a sum- mons from Magistrate Wentworth, at Yorkville court, but they paid no at­ tention to it. She called a lawyer,who procured papers for absolute divorce against Robinson, and he managed to serve them. , He arrived in the nick of time with the papers, for Robinson and the widow were in the act of mov­ ing away. When the lawyer asked them where they were going Robinson said, "We're off for Jersey," and with­ out a second glance to the wife, who stood in the doorway Weeping, Robin­ son hurried away with the widow. FEATS OF HINDOOS. Carry Cheats of Tea Weighing 130 Pounds Five or Six Miles. Darjeeling tea, said Mr, George W. Christison, in a recent lecture before the British Society of Arts, Is all car­ ried by the hardy hill-men up the steep mountain roads to the nearest railway station on the way to mar­ ket. It is no unusual day's work for a coolie to carry a tea chest weighing from 110 to 130 pounds a distance of five or Six miles, making at the same time an ascent of from 2,500 to |;500 feet in sheer vertical elevation. There can be no deception about a task like that, and we cannot but have an ad­ miration for the powers of endurance of those who perform such a feat. Gf course these people are trained to load- carrying and mountain-climbing from their very infancy, and hence the pe­ culiar set of muscular faculties re-. quired for them are fully developed, if not actually called into existence, at the cost of others--so much so that walking on a level, after a few miles, becomes positively painful to them. In the prosecution of their own trade, or in domestic affairs, they frequently undertake long, arduous journeys oyer ridges and along and across hot val­ leys, varying many thousands of feet in elevation, occupying many days, carrying heavy loads of from 150 to 200 pounds, and over, and in addition to their food and bedding, most cheer­ fully lighti is: a fire, cooking and eat­ ing their scanty meal and going to sleep by the wayside. There is a story still current of a Bhootean in old times having carried a grand piano up the hill to Darjeeling, a distance of fifty miles forward, and involving a rise of more than 5,000 feet in elevation by the old road. These hill tribes are a hardy people, capable of perfoming marvelous journeys without partaking of food or on the most meager fare. LOVERS OF THIRTY YEARS WED Indiana Boasts a Bright Example i Constancy and Devotiou. A bright example in constancy and filial devotion is afforded in the experi­ ence of a couple recently wedded in Liberty township, Indiana, the newly married pair being Mr. and Mrs. Henry Foreman, who reside on their 400-acre farm near Greentown. In point of age both bride and groom have passed the half-century mark. Though lovers from early childhood and betrothed from youth, the marriage was deferred until now, the engagement covering a period of thirty years. Young Fore­ man had a stepmother to whom he wa3 greatly attached, and to whom he solemnly pledged to support during her lifetime, promising not to marry while she remained alive. Contrary to ex­ pectations, the invalid and dependent stepmother lived until a year or more ago. During this long wait of nearly a third of a century the lovers scrupul­ ously observed their vows, toiling on through the years without-a thought of disregarding the pledges given the stepmother or breaking faith in any manner whatever. They grew gray, lived frugally, saved their earnings and patiently bided their time. When death removed the barrier, the lovers had accumulated sufficient means to buy the largest farm in the township. The minister first engaged to perform the marriage ceremony died of old age many years ago, and a divine of a new generation officiated at the long- d8layed wedding.--Chicago Times-Her­ ald. A GREAT ACTOR. Forrest Was Always Tragic, Especially When Alimony Day Came Round. McCullough did not carry the actor into every day life, as Forrest did. For­ rest was always "the great tragedian," and after his divorce generally moody and silent, but when he spoke it was in deep, tragic tones and with shaking3 of his black curly locks that impressed thq listener with unbounded awe, says the Overland Monthly. No one, I think, ever dared to joke or be familiar with the great Forrest. When "ali­ mony day" Came around and he had to pay a good, round sum to his divorced wife it was better to keep away from him, for then he allowed his temper and "ugliness" to have full sway. No­ where in Americajp dramatic history does an actor stand out with the prom­ inence of Forrest. His individuality was so pronounced that no one who once met him could ever obliterate that meeting from his memory. Forrest 43 also a part of history, for there are many who remember the "Macready riots," incited primarily by Forrest hissing Macready in Hamlet for intro­ ducing some business he did not like--• waving a handkerchief and dancing on in the players' scene--which Forrest sarcastically dubbed "the Pas de Mou- choir." This was in ,London and the news spread like wildfire, so that after playing a magnificent first engagement all over England his second was made a failure by Macready's friends hiss­ ing, groaning and interrupting his plays. • • WHAT NEXT? Ten Cents a Piece Is Now Offered for Live 3Iice« Not a little attention has been at­ tracted recently by the advertisement of a Westfield. Mass.. firm, offprin^ fi™ cents each for live mice in any quan­ tity. So badly are - the mice wanted by the concern that the offer was soon afterward raised to ten cents for each and every live mouse delivered. Some weeks ago a shoe dealer arranged in his window an exhibition of live mics and a teeter board. A mouse running up the little board would incline it in the opposite direction, and as the lively little creature scampered back and forth over the board it would be almost continuously teetering. The show at­ tracted much attention, and other ia- ventive minds saw. its possibilities as an advertising scheme, and improved on it by replacing the teeter board by an inclined disc, which rotated rapidly when the mice ran over its surface. From the disc was evolved a hat or umbrella teetotum. This is the most advanced stage. A toy cohipany quick­ ly saw. its possibilities and arranged to put the thing on the market. An agent with a sample ease of the attractions was sent to the large cities of the cen- i ftral and middle states, and he had hut to show it to make a sale on the spot. The company now has orders far be­ yond its powers to fill, the chief cause of delay being the scarcity of mice. That is why the price of the rodents is quoted at ten cents in Westfield.--New York Sun. ANTED --TRUSTV ORTHY AND active gentlemen or ladies to travel for responsible, 3-tabliehed house in Illinois.
