we collected our baggage and wait
for the stages. By this time we were

To our disappointment, our en

A led by, instead of under, this im
"• ssive gateway, and we have since
ied that the privilege of passing be
en it belongs to the stages of the
and transportation system and not
rhe campers.
\ story in connection with this same
nliner Gateway has recently been re
I to me, and its truth was vouched
' by the one who told it. A woman,
-vidently a tourist of the “rush” va
r • ty, trying to “do” the country in rec
time and absolutely ignorant of the
i e-fs she was trying to see, was, with
' r “son Willy,” met on a train return
mg from the Yellowstone. “Have you
i'« n to the Park?” she was asked. “Oh,
Jes,” she said. “Willy and I have been
there, but we didn’t go in. We looked
through the Gardiner Gate and didn’t see
anything doing, so we thought we would
n’t stop. We want to see something
lively, and get our money’s worth. Now
in Seattle there was something going on
all the time.”
However, having learned something
about the Yellowstone before we went
there. Will and I were in no wise alarm
ed by the fact that there seemed “noth
ing doing” inside the Gardiner Gate, but
drove on, with great expectations.
The area of the Park, increased by
adjacent Government Forest Reserves is
something over 17,000 square miles, and
the Circuit Road, over which the aver
age tourist makes his six-day coaching
trip, is about 150 miles long, and covers
but a small proportion of the vast area
of Park territory. The wild animals,
deer, elk, bear, etc., roam at will
throughout the entire Park, but are pro
tected from all molestation, and conse
quently have no fear of the traveler, and
and are to be seen in great numbers.
Our party in the four horse stage was
a merry one, and we quickly found that
the Wylie employees, “savages” though
they were, were a jolly crowd of young
people, college girls and boys for the
most part, who were earning a little
money in their summer vacations. After
the season’s work was over they were
all anticipating a free trip through the
Park, by the courtesy of the Wylie
management. We speedily learned that
the Park has a local vernacular all its
own. Besides the “savages” and "dudes”
aforesaid, we discovered that “scissor
Will uicaui a uinti u mu “U.uv *■ ‘ti»
that a “skinner” drove four horses,
that the boys who built the fires and
carried water, and did the general er
rands about the tents were “pack-rats,”
while those who took care of the stables
were entitled “barn-dogs.” Further
more any “spooning” on the part of the
"savages,” or any tendency to wander
off two by two in the evening, was speed
ily dubbed “rotten-logging,” a term
more descriptive than elegant. There
were many more expressions quite as
original as these, but save for learning
that a “swattie” is a soldier, this was
as far as our education progressed, and
at that we felt that our vocabulary was
greatly enriched.
Soon after leaving tne entrance be
hind us, we found ourselveB entering the
Gardiner Canyon. The road ran close
beside the rushing waters of the Gardi
ner River, which it crossed four times
within a mile, the steady up grade slow
ing the horses down to a walk. On the
left roBe a tall pinnacle of rock, at the
apex of which balanced an eagle’s nest.
As we looked we fancied we saw the
craning necks of the eaglets with their
wide open beaKS awaiting the return of
the parent bird, who much to our disap
pointment was not in sight. Electric
Peak, that we had seen from Bozeman,
lifted its snow-covered head on our
right, towering far above the lesser
mountains that seemed to hem us in on
all sides.
The Boiling River, emptying into the
Gardiner, and easily distinguished from
it by the rising steam, gave us our first
glimpse of a phenomenon that was to
become a common sight within the next
few days. This river was fed by under
ground waters from the Mammouth Hot
Springs, close at hand. A sharp turn in
the road brought us out on a level plat
eau, and we drove past Fort Yellow
stone, the military center of the Park,
anil me iviammom noiei, noi yei open
1 for the season, to the Hot Springs Form
ation beyond. Liberty Cap, the extinct
crater of a hot spring, a tall grayish
white cone forty feet high, formed of
overlapping layers of shale-like deposit,
was the outpost of the “Formation,”
and shortly after passing it we came to
a stop at the foot of the Terraces.
Here we alighted from the stage to
climb up to a view of the Mammoth Hot
Springs at close range. The scramble
up over the grayish shale-like “forma
tion” was a strenuous one, largely owing
to the altitude, the lowest valley in the
Park being something like 6,000 feet
above sea level,—but the strange and
wonderful sightB fully repaid the effort.
The terraced rock rose tier after tier,
covered with a wonderful deposit of deep
creamy yellows and browns, and on each
tier the boiling, steaming water con
stantly overflowed, forming fantastic
stalactites of gorgeous cream and gold.
The wonderful coloring is due to the con
stant trickle of the water, with its de
posits of lime silica and sulphur, and if
the water for any reason ceases to flow,
the deposit quickly loses its brilliant color
for the faded grayish white of the
surrounding Formation. We picked our
way among the many pools of bubbling,
boiling water to the point a half mile
or 90 distant where the stages had driven
to await our coming, feeling that we
had Been one of the most wonderful
sights of our lives.
Will had, of course, been busy with
his camera throughout the whole after
noon, but his best opportunity came
when, after the stage had rounded a sud
den turn of the road, the driver pointed
with his whip at a deer that had come
out of the woods and was about to leis
urely cross the road in front of us. The
stage came up and stopped, while the
deer remained motionless by the road
side, eyeing us curiously. Will cautious
ly focused the camera, and when I
whistled and the deer pricked up its ears
and gazed at us intently, the shutter
snapped. Our friend Mr. Hays, the
Wylie agent at Salt. Lake City, has
called the resultant picture “the finest
game picture of the Yellowstone he has
ever seen,’’ and enlargements from the
negative have been universally admired.
The next points of interest were the
Silver Gate and the Hoodoos, the latter
an undescribable jumble of jagged rocks
in strange and fantastic shapes, which
covered the Bides of the mountain for
many acres. The Silver Gate was named
from the silvery gray color of the rocks
which at that point rre massed in a solid
wall high above the road. The Silver
Gate paled into insignificance, however,
iw t;uiii^ansuii wiin me more impressive
Golden Gate, a mile beyond, which well
deserves its name. A splendid viaduct
has been built there, around the sheer
rocky wall of a canyon through which
flows the rushing waters of Glen Creek.
As the name indicates, the rock forma
tion is of a vivid yellow. As the stage
rolled around the viaduct, “ohs” and
■•ahs” of admiration arose from the pas
sengers. Straight ahead of us the Rus
tic Falls splashed their way into the
depths of the canyon, and their foamy
1 whiteness, the green of the evergreen
j trees on the mountain side, with the
| yellow background of the canyon walls,
| made an impressive and beautiful pict
j ure.
A turn in the road immediately after
j leaving the falls, brought us to a broad,
i open meadow, near our night’s stopping
place. Swan Lake Camp, where a warm
welcome awaited us from its hospitable
matron.
Cold from our long ride as we were,
the rows of little tents looked most in
viting, and we learned with pleasure
I that we were to be assigned one of the
j “new” ones, little bungalow like affairs,
| with wooden frames—a decided improve
| ment on the older tents. The “pack
I rats” had a brisk fire burning in an air
I tight stove, and the little tent was so
j cosy and warm, and its appointments so
(inviting, that we then and there decided
i to advise all our acquaintances and
I friend to tour the Park by the “Wylie
Way.” The camp consisted of row af
ter row of little tents ranged around
three sides of a square, the center of
which was occupied by a towering pile
of wood, ready for the night “camp
fire.” An office tent, which was the
official camp “rendezvous,” postoffice,
general store, etc., a dining tent, a
kitchen, ar.d a recreation tent for danc
camp was beautifully located at the foot
of a sloping hillside, and the dense ever
greens of the forest behind made an
ideal background. In front sloped the
broad meadows down to “Swan Lake,”
a pretty iittle sheet of water probably
so called because there are no swans
there. The circle of snow-clad mountains
on the horizon completed a charming
picture. The stables were well away
from the camp across the meadow, but a
visit to them proved most interesting,
and the great number of horses, as well
as the splendid animals to be seen there,
roused no little surprise and admiration.
Before supper was served we four
“dudes” wardered away up the hill into
the woods to explore our surroundings.
The view from the top of the hill was
well worth the climb, and we gathered
specimens of several odd varieties of
wild flowers before the pangs of hunger
called us back to the dining tent. We
lingered awhile in the vicinity of the
garbage barrel hoping to see the bears,
but they were wary that night and re
fused to come while we were watching.
After supper the huge campfire was
lighted, and “dudes” and “savages”
alike gathered around its genial warmth,
and popped corn and told stories while
the darkness gathered. Mindful of our
early start, scheduled for seven o’clock
next morning, we sought our tents early
and were soon deep in a dre amless sleep
in spite of our novel surroundings.

ANIMALS ALMOST HUMAN.
The chief difference between man ard
the lower animals lies in man’s capacity
for sinning. Obviously he haB no mon
opoly of the virtues. A dog may be faith
ful, an elephant may be kind and true, a
cat is said to love home and fireside; the
parental instincts of the penguin would
put nine-tenths of the leaders of our best
society to shame.
It is not by possessing such attributes
that animals become“almost human,”
It would be fairer to our furred and
feathered friends to say that the man
who possesses these traits in fine degree
is almost animal. There is a horse of
vauJeville fame that reckons simple
sums in addition and answers a wide va
riety of questions, if my memory serves
me; I will even allow him to write his
own first name with his hoof in the sand.
The show bills call him "human,” yetwe
feel no sense of kinship as we watch the
performance, even though we should
grant him all the ratiocination his exhib
itors claim. We simply say,“What a
wonderfully clever horse!” bestow a
word of praise upon his training, and that
is the whole story. I have seen a dog
perform agile tricks with prompt obedi
ence and obvious enjoyment, and tome
he was still a dog. But when some ca
nine friend hides on his wash day; when
he steals the cat’s milk and pretends he
did not; when he slinks in at a door with
every expression of eye and limb crying
“peccavi,” ah, then I say to myself,
"There is something human about that
dog.”—Harper’s Magazine.
PROMOTING THE POULTRY INDUS
TRY
Montana Hens to Compete in Egg Laying.
An egg-laying contest, to be carried on
next year at the Montana State college
experiment station in Bozeman under the
management of the station poultry de
partment is the latest plan of the State
Poultry association. The college is ready
to undertake the conduct of the contest.
ana a committee nas Deen appointed to
find out if sufficient interest would be
taken to justify the plan, and to formu
late rules and regulations. The commit
tee consists of Prof. W. F. Schoppe of
the college, J. D. Veach of Hubbart,
president of the association, W. W.
Perry of Kalispell, C. A. Greenfield of
of Butte, and J. K. Scott of Grant.
Boys’ and Girls’ Poultry Clubs.
The Montana State Poultry association
will co-operate with the State college ex
tension department in starting boys’ and
girls’ clubs throughout the State for
practical worK in poultry raising, a kind
of work very well adapted to young peo
ple, and in which they can readily realize
some profit and learn valuable lessons.
The work will be organized by the college
through the county agents and in other
ways, and the Poultry association will co
operate by furnishing sittings of pure
bred eggs to be sold at very low prices
to the young poulterers who need help.
So far the work of the boys’ snd giris’
clubs started by the college throughout
the State has been in corn and potato
growing for the boys and canning of
fruits and vegetables for the girls.
NOT TO LICENSE CATS.
The Massachusetts House of Repre
sentatives March 1st rejected, by astand
ing vote of 101 to 25, the bill to provibe
for licensing cats. An adverse report
had been made by the committee on Ag
riculture and Mr. Frost of Somerville
sought to have the original bill substitut
ed.
Mr. Beardsley of Boston offered an
amendment to reduce the license fee for
male cats from 50 cents to 25 cents; that
for females to remain 50 cents. He de
plored the fact that the House should
make light of the bill, which he said,
was a serious matter.
Mr. John L Donovan of Boston said in
stead of cats the Legislature should li
cense “gypsy moths, bed bugs and poor
lawyers.’’ He added: “It is ridiculous
to talk about protecting the poor birds,
for the same man who votes for the bill
will go to the hotel and eat the bird with
his wine. He wants the cats prevented
from eating the birds so that he can eat
them.’’
Mr. Chapman of Ludlow and Mr, Wil
liams of Holden spoke against the bill.
Mr. Beardsley’s amendment was adopt
ed and the bill rejected.

BERMUDA.
A trip to Bermuda at thia time of year
is particularly attractive and the special
ly conducted one which the Maine Tour
ist Agency of Portland, Me., has arrang
ed to leave Portland April 11th, makes
the journey a very comfortable one for
all who can go. The expense from Port
land and return is $65. which includes
eight days in Bermuda, with ail expenses
paid.
The beauty and charm of Bermuda is
always a revelation to the northern vis
itor. Everywhere are beautiful views,
odd plant life, tropic flowers, wonderful
ly tinted waters. Atmosphere and sur
roundings are exquisitely restful, sleep
is deep and refreshing, but at the
same time the air is invigorating. There
are beautiful drives, saddle-riding,
tennis, go.f, sea-bathing, all sorts of
yachting, concerts, dancing and the
numerous social diversions incident to
colonial life. Last but not least, the
islands have been brought within two

Decline of the N. E. Cod Fishing.
The New England cod fishery is on the de
cline. according to the government reports.
Last year the catch of cod fish in the Atlantic
fell from ninety million pounds to sixty mill
ions, while the Alaskan cod fishery increased
from eight to fifteen millions. It is said that
there are only a few vessels engaged in the
cod fishery off the Alaskan coaBt and that
there are hundreds of fishing banks where cod
fish are plentiful which have as yet been un
touched. It is not unlikely that eventually
this New England industry will be transferred
to the Pacific coast.
A Profitable Charter.
One of the most remunerative char
ters recently closed is that of the steam
er Newton, Capt. A. G. Abhott, owned
by the New England Coal and Coke Co.,
to carry coal to Argentine and return
with general cargo. It is understood the
owners will receive about $50,000 per
month. The Newton left Boston March
15th for Lamberts Point, Va., where she
will load 7000 tons of coal for Buenos
Aires. She will load flaxseed wool and
