A New Geyser Born.

James King, the winter keeper Of
the Fountain Hotel, Yellowstone Park,
was aroused a short time since by an
explosion like that of the blowing up
of a powder magazine. The ground
shook and trembled, and the household
goods ratified. He jumped from his bed
and rushed to the window to escape,
as he thought, the ruins of the build
ing in an earthquake. 1t was o'clock
in the morning, and about half a mile
away he saw a column of hot water
and steam ascending high into the air,
which in the crisp atmosphere present
ed a spectacle of prismatic beauty. He
then realized that mother earth had
given birth to a new geyser. The in
FAINT is reported to be the greatest of
the hot-water geysers of the Park 1t
is located in the lower geyser basin,
forty miles south from Mammoth Hot
Springs.

How Love Came.
BY CHARLES w LAMB


Copyright, 1901. by Daily Story Pub. Coz
When Jimmy Marshall went back
to the regiment after long leave, it was
with a heavy heart and sad spirit
that caused him to look with glad
gaze 10 the war cloud hanging over
Cuba.
Jimmy had come in from the regi-
mental station to spend the first long
leave since he had laid aside the acad-
emic gray with the mother and the
old friends he had scarcely seen since
his boyhood. For seven years he had
worked hard and faithfully in the his
toric old regiment he had elected to
join and now with his first lieuten-
ants bar on his shoulder, had come
home again. There it was that he had
renewed acquaintance of the old days
and made new ones and it was one OF
these new ones that was sending him
back to his regiment, sad and weary
and welcoming war.
She, who was the cause of II all,
was a newcomer to the old town, pet

He was her knight from the start and
even the sainted mother was neglected
in the short campaign that ended In
his rout, for when he came to the
fatal question, it was laughingly
heartlessly, but, oh, so emphatic, no
No hope, no future, no present, no
past, only a winter of regret.
So scarcely two months later he was
welcoming the hot sun, the fever, the
thirst, the hunger, the bullets of Cuba
and receiving honorable mention and
recommendations for bravery in the
affair at Ell Caney and for faithfulness
in his care Of the fever stricken men

a Bere.ford starr. =

A story of Lord Charles Beresford't
early exploits in Parliament crops W
again. An old county member, sadly
troubled by govt, made a practice OF
retiring to one OF the benches under
the reporters gallery, behind the
speakers chair. His habit was to take
off his boots, which he placed under
the bench, lie down at full length, and
doze securely under the shade of the
gallery till his rest was disturbed by
the call for a division, when he would
slip on his boots. Lord Charles Beres.
ford observed the place where the
honorable member had put his boots
and when he was sound asleep took
away one, which he hid. When the
division came the victim was com.
PEELED to leave his seculsion and walk
into the lobby with only one boot on
amid the roars of goodhumored laugh.

Women 10 start a Paper.

London is to have a newspaper mod
eled on La Fronde, the French daily,
which evolved entirely from feminine
minds. So dissatisfied are the women
who belong to the 3S5 hockey clubs in
Great Britain and Ireland with the
meager reports they get in one hockey
weekly paper at present in existence
that they have resolved on starting a
hockey paper of their own, written and
and edited by women, for women, and
devoted to their interests alone. 1t is
pointed out by the ladies at the head
of the movement that the men. who
have only 80 clubs among them. get al
most all the space at present in the
paper, and only miserable ha,f-ra e
is given to women. The new paper will
start next October with the new sea-
son. Miss Thompson. an ardent, skilled
hockey player, will be tie editress.

The world is as we find it,
Whether for good or i'll.
The path is oft-times stony,
Leads oft-times up the hill;
But when we reach the summit,
And find there peace and rest,
We, then, forget the journey
And feel God knoweth best
The world is as we take it,
Whether for i'll or good;
The path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But if we look beyond it,
Where shines the light of day,
Well bravely journey onward;
God knoweth best'-we say.
The world is as we make it;
We reap both good and i'll;

Up-springs from wood and hill
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds,
Unless we tread with gladness
Gods path-EIe knows our needs.
