The morning times., 1895-09-15

Uncle sam's property from evil disposed
tourists With a maiiciousness amount
ing almost to a mania, the ordinary trav-
eler hacks his name on wood and stone, and
mutilates the formations in pure wanton-
ness. These worthless are compelled, as
far as possible, to restore the damage they
have done, and then politely escorted out
of the park, with Instructions never to
return.
At Norris's Larry stands in front of bis
hospitabIe tents to give US greeting, his
honest face wreathed in smiles He shakes
hands with everyone, as they descend from
the coach, talking the while In his rich
brogue. Seemingly we are old friends.
Our reception is regular ovation.

sor? How are We? Take seats in the dra W.
ing.room. Plenty of room, plenty of room

The enthusiastic woman was in fact pretty
well ''done up with her labor of driving
the four-in-hand Here, Mrs. Larry, Mrs.
Larry, show the lady our apartments. Mrs.
Larry will make ye comfortable" "Our
apa artments' was separate tent where
brisk fire cracked in the camp stove, and
where the neatuess and order of everything
betokened Mrs. Larry a notable house
wife
''WeIl, profess or, are ye enioyin' the
park? Ye won't see anythin' finer than
the Norris Basin," prattled Larry without
giving himself rest We've got bran

beautE Hungry, doctor? Have patience

ready. Is 1t tired ye are, miss? 1 thought
SO. Ye're not used to stagin' 'praps. Well,

The little Italian count says that the
Yellowstone is worth the trip to America.
Admitting the soundness of his judgment
in this instance, permit me to supplement-
IL by saying that Larry is worth the trip
to the park That lively host of the Nor
ris Basin has kissed the blarney stone;
the genuine article, too, and not the
wretched fraud of the Chicago Exhibition.
Slender, but with firmly-knit frame, he has
a quick, spry way with him, and is always
bustling about to some purpose. He dress-

soldiers. 1t was this that prompted me to
ask II he had ever been in the army.
"Been in the army, Is 1t? Indade'I have,

and the little ones. An sure, that's the
