Captain Anderson. superintendent or
the Yellowstone National park, says
that an effort is being made TO secure
legislation from congress which would
add the Jackson's Hole country 10 the
park. The area which it was proposed
10 take in is about so miles square and
contains Jackson's lake and the Three
luton mountain peaks. 1t is rich in
natural scenery and would, in the opin-
ion Of the captain, add materially to
the parks attractiveness. Senator Car-
ter of Montana has drafted bill for
that purpose, which has the indorse-
ment of the senators from Montana and
Idaho. but the Wyoming senators have
not yet been won oyer.-Onaha Bee.

The town gets revenue from the rent
of the town hall for entertainments,
doesn't it? People who patronize enter
tainments given there pay for the privi-

auce whilst there? Should an i'll man
nered boy, or several of them, be permit

other noises to disturb those who go TO

it be to the credit of the town and its Off

Famous Springs at Deer Park.

a million and half gallons of the purest
water on earth, is the daily output of the
famous Boiling Springs in Garrett County,
Maryland. In order that nothing can con-
taminate the Springs, one hundred acres of
land surrounding it, are fenced in. In ad-
dition, wire building covers the Springs,
so that leaves cannot fall into the water. 1t
Deer Park Hotel receives its water supply,
the water being piped direct to the hotel
The medical fraternity now concede that in
the matter of health, the question of pure
water stands at the head and front. No
summer resort combines so many healthful
features. The air is wonderfully pure and

The Children's Fresh Air Society OF
Baltimore asks for the corporation OF
kind.hearted people in this section, in
the work of providing an outing of two
weeks in the country for the little chill
dren of very poor people who live in that
great city.
The Society is composed of men and
women who are giving themselves and
their money to this cause. They search
out the children and have them examined
by physicians, clothe them suitably and
pay all expenses of transportations, ask
ing only the country people to share their
homes with them for two weeks free of
charge.
Could any charity appeal more direct,
ly to the heart and sympathies of the
people than this? We who breathe the
pure atmosphere fragrant with the seen
of fields and forests can scarcely appre-
ciste the sufferings of the poorer people
during such weather as the past fortnight
has brought.
In the close streets and alleys of Balti-
more where the air is so sitting and the
pavements so blistering under the heat
of the sun thousands of little children are
gasping for breath of fresh air and
small share of the blessings which we
country people SO freely aud richly enjoy
There is no escap from this furnace for
them unless some kindly hands come to
-. r
work the Fresh Air Society is engaged in
and this is the work we are invited to
share.
May we not hope that a number of
good people here may interest themselves
in this beautiful work of charity to pro.
vide homes for at least 90 of these little
ones for two weeks
