twenty her name was known throughout
the West and her poems commented on
by the eastern press. Poems Of Passion"

her International fame. This drew forth
a storm Of praise and censure and eN-

Only n Cleaner.

Only a cleaner in life's toilsome way
Mid briars rank against the wall:
Prayerfully toiling day by day
To fill my place tho ever so small:
Listening ever for the Masters call,
Content to rest at the even tide,
When the shadows softly creep
And over the soul sweet memories glide,
When oft we smile-and oft we weep
Only a gleaner-let me come
Within your circle fair.
Through fields Of thought 10 roam
And with YOU blessings shares
Only a gleaner-let me come.
With only a thought now and then
Amid the many on our page,
Mine is only humble pen.
Savors not Of author or sage;

only one weary spirit cheer
Amid LIES toll and strife.

The vandal, with his barbarous and active knife and pencil, who has an insane longing to associate his meaningless name with the great places of nature and history, has not so free a hand in the Yellowstone les. ervation as he enjoyed before the park was guarded by the soldiers of the United States army. 1t has been the custom of this creature to carve his initials on the front of the ter. races and to write his name in the liquid left in the pools after a geyser has been playing. Years after the writing in the water the name is legible and the pencil marks are fresh, so slowly do the geysers build up their deposits.
 The Upper Geyser basin is 50 miles from Fort Yellowstone, at the Nam moth Hot Springs. The telegraph is the enemy of offenders the world over, and if a tourist writes his name in pool, he may be reasonably certain that the fact will be tele- graphed to the post through which he must pass when his trip is done, and there he is very likely to meet a captain of cavalry, who will hand him a rubber and send him back 30 miles under guard to erase his name.-London Million.
