Tho Greatest Park I'm tho World.
Ladies' Home Journal.

Uncle Sam set apart royal pleas
ure ground in Northwestern Wyom-
ing, and called it Yellowstone National
Park. To give an idea of what its
size, 1912 square miles, really means,
let us clear the floor of the park and
tenderly place some of the great cities
of the world there, close together as
children do their blocks. First put
in London, then Greater New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Paris, Boston,
Berlin, st. Louis, Hong Kong, San
Francisco and Washington. The
floor of the park would then be but
half covered. Then lift up Rhode
Island carefully, so as not to spill any
of its people, set it down and press in
the West Indies-and even there are
two hundred square miles left. No
equal area in the world has such a di-
versity of natural phenomena and
such magnifcene scenery. 1t is a
marvellous land Of streams and water
falls, geysers and hot springs, mount
aims, canyons, lakes, and forests of
primeval age.

NOT AFRAID OF PIRATES.

But Protection of Marines Against Depre-

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct. GA
private letter received from St. Mi.
chaels via the cutter Perry from Dutch
Harbor, explains the story published
some time ago about an Alaska treasure
ship requiring protection by revenue
cutters against the possibility of pirat.
ical attack. 1t is not to guard against
pirates that the vessels are needed.
Ever since the movement toward Klon.
dixie began, steamers from the e
have been dumping all sorts and con-
ditions of men at St. Michaels. The
gathering has been getting worse from
month to month and, as a result, the
Rush and Corwin are now at st. Mi
chaels ready to land men at a moments
notice and put a stop to any trouble
which might, considering the f~ierceness
OF the miners, quickly spread into a
riot. The marines will remain at St.
Michaels until all possibility Of trouble
is passed.
