YELLOWSTONE PARK IN DECAY.

No improvements Made for o Yenr-Some
Suggestions offered.
An important report on the condi-
tion of the Yellowstone National park
was made to the secretary OF the in
terror recently by Capt G. 5. Anderson,
Sixth cavalry, acting superintendent OF
the park. Capt. Anderson says the park
has received no improvement the last
year, because the Northern Pacific rail-
road, the principal stockholdcr in TIN.
park association, has been unable 10
spend money on 1t. He says there Is
great need of new hotels and lunch
houses to accommodate the class of
visitors who have abundant means.
There is large clnss of visitors who 20
through the park in camping parties in
charge OF licensed conductors The nu-
thorities in charge of the park confess
that these parties annoy them not lit
tie. They are careless about their
camp fires and continually threaten
serious damage by fire. Another thing
that ought, he thinks. to be CONSOLE
dated under one control Is the Yellow
stone lake steamboat franchise. Thu
present steamboat company desires to
rush tourists through the park, as il
receives the same pay whether the
stop-over privileges are granted or not.
The hotel people. Oh the other hand.
would like to prolong the stay of the
visitors. Thus there is n clashing of in
terests. Although the urea OF the parI,

necticut. but $4,000 has been for sey.
cral years allowed for it's protection
and improvement. This year sac. 600 il
available. Capt. Anderson thinl-s
100000 ought to be appropriated for
about two years. and then the roads
could be completed and surfaced with
stone. This, he supposcs. would nntici-
pate and stop the demand for trolley
roads.
Poaching has gone on during tn.
year as usual. Ten cnrcasses of buffalo
were found last summer. One man was
caught with four buffalo heads in his
possession. Four arrests were mafle
and the parties fined $50 each. An
kinds of game, except bufraIos are In

corral provided for their shelter last
winter. but wandered off again.

Unless you are wise woman, us well

The corset of the stout woman, by the
way. is something to which she should
give great attention. Only the 'low"

crowd the bust into the neck so that

which most stout women fly with a
fatuous blindness.
Skirt trimmings, which take from the
apparent height. are also to he avoided.
Broad belts. which decrease the effect
of length, are also among tho tabooed
articles. In fact, the woman blessed or
cursed with "embonpoint" must BE ex-
cecdingly wary in the matter of belts.
She must whenever it is possible, wear
those of the same color as her bodice OF
her skirt. The former adds to her waist
ilength and tire latter to her length of
limb. Belts which are slightly curved
over the hips md pointed. in the back
and front are among those which she
can wear with excellent effect.

the stout woman's aversions. She fire.

feather and lace boas belong to her only
when they arc long and when instead of

lines down the front of the gown On

UNCLE EPH AND THE cYoLls1

Not Hard for Ono Uscti to "Toting Bar
rels o. Sugar"
An athletic old colored man, who in
his youth was employed in sugar re-
finery in New Orleans, is now helper
in II bicycle store uptown.
When he is not otherwise employed it
is his duty to give beginners their first
lessons. The school of instruction is in
the street, and almost every evening
Uncle Eph may be seen steadying the
wheel for some uncertain novice. The
work is not easy, and only very power
full fellow could stand it so well as the
aged but well preserved darby does.
The other day there came new pupil
to the bicycle store. 1t was lady past
40, still quite fair but undcniably fat.
She stated her case very diffidently;
said she thought she was past the BIZ
cycle riding nge, and that she feared
she would never succeed in mastering
the wheel, but the family doctor had
prescribed bicycle. So there she was.
1t was Uncle Eph who was assigned
to give her the first lesson. No cavalier
could have been more gallant. He
showed her how to mount and what 10
do with her hands and feet Then for
one Woodworking hour the mighty old
Hercules kept that wheel upright, 20

pie who saw him.
After the lesson was over the pupil
thanked him profusely "I'm SO heavy"
