f. I. PaytOn, travelling representa-,
tive of the Denver Republican, con
tributes a full page illustrated article
10 his paper on the Big Horn Hot
Spring and Thermopolis, from which
the following is taken:
Everybody has heard of the great
Yellowstone Park in the northwest
corner of Wyoming, set aside by the
government of the United States to be
visited by the people at their own con.
venience and without charge; but few
know that there exists zeal the central
part of the state the Wyoming Hot
Springs Reserve" owned by the state
and also free to tourists ard health
seekers. The state reserve is
small. only a mile square, but there
are probably few square miles in the
National park more wonderful than
this has been at one time. Even yet
it is a place worth travelling many miles
TO see, and it is not only a mile square
of wonderful formations and curiosi-
ties, but its many hot springs are of a
medical character and undoubtedly
equal to any others in existence. Sur

This is per liter. A liter is a quart
minus ten centimeters.
The next principal spring is across
the Big Horn river on the west side
and in Fremont county. 1t is usually
spoken of as the Beals spring, Mr.. Ira
Beals being the proprietor of a bath
house there. Unfortunately there is
10 analysis at hand of this spring. 1t
is conceded to be better water to drink
than the water of the big springs.
Half a mile north of the main spring
is the sulphur spring, conceded to be
best to drink of any. Between the sui
phur spring and the other two men
toned above there are many, perhaps
hundreds Of little springs. but unfortu-
nately nearly all Of them rise in the
bottom of the river and scarcely any
of them above high water mark.
The ten acres of solid, wa~ter-created
formation at the big spring already
mentioned is new, but along the river
for a half a mile north to the sulphur
spring and on either side, is a very
much older formation of the same kind.
For half a mile the Big Horn river has
worn its way through solid rock of a
hot water creation, and to a depth of
more than 100 feet. And this is not all.

this tube Is infiamed you have a rum

when 1t Is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the intlamma-

The Conscientious Coachman.

"John, I'd like to know what makes
your back 30 straight" said rich
man to his coachman the other day.
"And how do you stand the fatigue
of sitting 30 beautifully erect while
You drive for hours at n stretch?"
The coachman blushed with pleasure
as he led his master to light and
airy corner of the carriage house.
"I'll show you the kind of exercise I
take every day, sir" he said, so as
to be credit to your livery, and your
equipage, and yourself and lady"
The man then lay down on his stomach
and drew upward his body and legs
until he formed a V, the point of
which, his abdomen, alone touched
the ground. 81 do this 200 times q
day, sir" he said. "It gives correct
carriage" Then, on parallel bars, he
dipped. "One hundred Of these,
daily, sir, expand the chest and give
a robust grace to the upper arms and
shoulders. He put his arms. well
stiffened, at his sides. and then slowly
raised them till the hands met ovet
his head. 81 do about 500 of that
movement for chest broadener, also
for straighteners." He then nearly
touched his back with the crown of
his head and quite touched his chest
with his chin. 'That straightens the
neck, Sir, and gives the head a proper
poise. And so on, sir, continue for
an hour or two every morning, and 1

Collateral for Car Fare.

An amusing incident happened on
an Indiana-arenue street car recently.
The car was going south, attached to
the Cottage Grove cable. At Van
Buren street big, portly woman got
aboard. On her arm she carried a
large market basket that apparently
was filled with "bargain" purchases
from some department store. Three
minutes after she had sat down and
deposited the basket between her feet
on the floor, the conductor came along
with the usual cry; "Fare, please"
The old lady opened her purse and
began rummaging through its various
pockets for nickel. Again and again
she went through it, but no change
was to be found. Then she turned to
the conductor and said:
IT was sure had saved chr fare,
but I cannot find il. I live at the end
of your line, and will pay you then. :"
''That won't do; must have your
fare now," said the fare collector.
"Well, I haven't the money"
"Well, give me something the value
of nickel and you can redeem it ct
the end of the line"
The old lady hesitated moment,
then put her hand down into the bas-
ket and drew out o bar of laundry
soap and handed it to him.
Everybody in the car laughe ], but
the conductor took the soap and rang
up her fare. Chicago News.

Delagoa Bay to be suddenly closed to
the Beers, and were the latter in this
manner entirely cut off from the outer
world, the war could be brought to q
Speedy concinsion bys Great Britain.
Now that everything connected with
South Africa is of paramount interest,
the accompanying picture, showing
native signalmen on the Netherlands
railway, running through Komati
Poort into the Transvaal, is not with
out timeliness. 1t was up this rail:
way and through this pass that the
ammunition consigned to The Trans
vaal by way of Delagoa Bay had to
pass before it reached General Joubert
and his men. Owing to the wildness
of much of the territory through
which this railway passes, large
corps of watchmen and signalmen are
necessary all along the line. The
responsible duties of signaling and
guarding the roadbed are left to
Kaffirs.
DR.. Leyds. the Boer agent in Eu-
rope, says that the war material ac-
cumulated in the Transvaal will supply
the republican armies for several
years, and his opinion is supported
by facts that have come to light since
the war began. We know now that
ever since the jameson raid the Trans
vaal Government has been buying in
Germany and France rifles, ammuni-
ton, and light and heavy artillery, to
the amount of over million dollars o

Delagoa Bay belongs to Portugal,
