Few people needed health in those
days and those who were in search OF

and Sioux. To Jim it was the place
where h. h. bubbles over,'' and this
was his description of the spot when
the editor of the s,Kansas City Jour:
nal first listened to Jims stoical ac-
count of it's wonder IS. The editor even
prepared an article on that wonder
section of the country, but suppressed
it on account of j is being unbeliev-
able. Jim stuck to the story, how
ever, and in 1879 the editor of the
paper printed an editorial apology to
Bridger for his lack Of credeuce in
the story.
To-day old Jim Bridger's story
would not be half strong enough to
encompass the whole truth of the
region now set as de as a national
park for all the p eople. Within its
domains the lion almost literally has
lain down with the lamb. Bear and

early days would only stand and stare
at him now in curiosity and interest.
The mountain sheep, shyest of all
the animals of the hills, would allow
him to ride within a. stones throw of
the crag upon. which it rested. Even
the mountains lion, which at times
forces the military guards of the park
to wage war upon his carnivorous
destructiveness, is immune from the
bullets of the park visitors. Only the
speckled trout of the, mountain
streams and lakes may be taken to
bag by the sportsman.
President Roosevelt, in leaving the
park, paid it a lasting tribute within
the limits of a paragraph.

Geologically and geographically
nature left it unique, and in many

FEW NEW THINGS INVENTED.
Submarine Boat Used Forty Years
Ago, but It Sank.

We sometimes believe that there
has been an absolutely new thing
brought out in the way of invention,
and yet somebody comes along with
an old document and upsets it. Only
short time ago it was shown that
wireless telegraphy was over thirty
years old, and that Mr.. LOOMS was
trying to interest people in it. For
half dozen years experiments have
been made with submarine boats.
There has beekn deal of talk about
them first and last. Factions for and
against them have. been formed in
the navy, and you can find everything
from praise to the worst condemna-
ton Of them in the official records.
More than this, there have been scan
dals about them. Congressional in
vsstigations, with various persons
named. During all this time we have
been treating the submarine boat as
something new and belongin to the
iatter-day invention. But in the last
volume of the naval records of the
civil war is a picture of submarine
boat, invented by Confederate naval
officer
The picture taken from one in the
museum at Richmond, Va, looks very
like the craft over which there has
been so much dispute for few years
past. The submarine boat of forty
years ago was invented by H. L. Hen

Economy was under discussion. "A
woman knows how to economic much
better than man does," she said, de-
cidedly.
The man looked skeptical, but said
he was willing to be convinced by
proofs.
"Now, see here, when you have
bit of. a headache you rush out to the
drug store and get the clerk to give
you a POWDER" she said. ''The next
time you have headache you do the
same thing, and you spend surpris-
ingly large amount of money in this
way"
We'll, what would you have me
do?" asked the man. IS and the head
ache, I suppose, and get cross and ir-
ritable.''
mo, my dear man, I certainly
would not, for when a man makes up
his mind to stand his headache there's
no living in the same county with
him. But I would have you go out and
buy dozen powders or so, and so
have them on hand. Buying them in
large quantity is much less expen-
sive than buying them in driblets.
'Now another way in which a man
is wasteful. He does not look after his
laundry well, suddenly finds himself
without clean collars or a clean shirt,
and goes out and buys more. AS
matter of fact, he has plenty on hand
ana does not need any more, but
+bro,,oI hic oaro1occnocc no tioc his
money up in shirts and collars when it
is positively necessary that he have a
few cravats.
Then there's the matter of tobac-
Co.
"Oh, say, no fair" said the nian.
You must cut that out, you know. A
man has to smoke
"All right" said the woman, cheer
fully. But there's the habit of treat
| ing. Half the time you don't want to
treat and the other fellow does not
want to have you treat, but neither of
| you has the courage to cut it out. So
you go on spending your money for
something you do not enjoy yourself,
and that is something of a bore to the
other fellow"
The man looked a bit rueful and &C.
quiesced for the first time. 'Theres
something in that" he said.
And your stockings. So soon as
| hole comes in them you throw them
| away. That's fearfully expensive. What
if you are bachelor; there are plenty
of professional members nowadays, and
you could get the work done easily
enough
Don't want to bother with it," said
the man, trifle grumpily.
The woman went calmly on. "Shaves
are another expense. Why don't you
shave yourse1f?"
"'Cause I'd have to spend so much
money in courtplaster if 1 did," saiG
the man, quickly.
Now, these are only a few of the
ways in which you waste money" the
woman continued. "Have l convinced
you that you don't know how to econ
on1ize?"
.'How about the woman who buys a
frugal luncheon of soup and rolls and
then blows lot in for ice cream and
fluffy duff?' asked the man. How
about woman's habit of buying thing
just because it is bargain, when she
has no possible use for it? How about
her going to the hairdressers for a
shampoo when she can do it very cas-
ily herself? How about the candy
habit, and the visit of the doctor after
a candy lag? How"
Convince a man against his will
and he's of the same opinion still"
chanted the woman, and left to attend
the Friday bargain sale.-New York
Times.

THE ORIGIN OF MAN.
Belief of Some Soudsn Tribes Is
Curious and PoeticaI.


Among the appendices of Lord
Cromers reports on Egypt and the
Soudan for 1902 is an interesting note
on the religious beliefs of the tribes
dwelling along the banks OF the Behr-
elGhazal. The Dinka, it says, though
the most, difficult of all to approach
on such subjects, appears to have
most elaborate list of gods and demi-
gods. At the head of the divine COM
munity are Deng-Dit Grain Giver) and
Abok. his wife. They have two sons,
Kur Kongs, the elder, and Gurung-Dlt,
the Younger, and a daughter called Al.
Yak. Their devil is called L'wal Bur-
rajok, and is the father OF Abok, the
wife of DengDit. There are other
relatives also. Their story Of the
origin of mankind Tor it may be OF the
Dinka tribe) is curious and poetical.
Deng-D Dit gave to his wife Abok bowl
Of fat and she and her children, soften
ing the fat over the fire, proceeded to
mold from it men and women In the

against L'dal (the deviD, who was sus-
pected of having evil intentions toward
Deng-Dit. But Abok forgot, and with
ner children went to gather wood in
the forest. There Lwal found the
bowl, drank the greater part OF the
fat. and from the remainder proceeded
to mold caricatures OF men and wom-
en- with distorted limbs, mouths, and
eyes. Then, fearing the vengeance of
Deng-Dit, he descended to earth by
the path which then connected it with
heaven. On discovering the result Of
her neglect, Abok FASTENED to her
husband, who, greatly incensed,
started in pursuit Of L'Wal. The lat
ter. however, had persuaded the bird
Atoi-toish to bite asunder with its
bill the ~path from heaven to earth,
and he thus escaped from the divine
wrath. London Telegraph

Changes.

Mourn, o rejoicing heart!
The hours are flying;
Each one some treasure takes,
Each one some blossom breaks,
And leaves it dying;
The chill dark night draws near.
Thy sun will soon depart,
And leave thee signing;
Then mourn, rejoicing heart,
The hours are flying.
Rejoice, o grieving heart!
The hours fly fast;
With each some sorrow dies,
With each some shadow flies,
Until at last
The red dawn in the east
Bids weary night depart,
And pain is past.
Rejoice, then, grieving heart
The hours fly, fast. o.

NO SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT
London Can See No Change In the Bal
kan Situation.

kan SlIuuIlOH'
London, Sept. 1.-THE Balkan situation
shows no signs of Improvement. Indeed,
at Constantinople it is now thought war
between Turkey and Bulgaria Is inevi-
table, but the Turkish ambassador in
London insists that hostilities can result
only from an overt act of Bulgaria. The
Sofia government, on the other hand, pre-
serves strict neutrality, as advised by
Russia and Austria. The announcement
to-day Of Bulgarias attityde caused an
optimistic tone in the papers and the
market, for foreign bonds and government
securities became such frmer. Ruma-
MIA, too, Is enforcing neutrality, in COM
pliance with the advice OF Russia, hay
ing taken measures to suppress Macedon-
ian agitato within her borders.
The pope's refusal to appeal to the
powers to act, save in the direction OF
stopping the massacres in the Balkans. is
accepted as evidence that even the molly
see appreciates the 1nadvisability Of inter-
vention at this time.
Turkey is largely increa sing the number
of her troops in Macedonia, in spite of
her depleted treasury, and is determined
to suppress the revolution before the pow
ers can intervene. -
In the villayet of Monastir the rising
has been ruthlessly suppressed, the Turks
having burned many villages and COM
mitted grave excuses.

Constantinople, Sept War between
Turkey and Bulgaria is now regarded here
as inevitable. 1t Is even believed that
the outbreak CT hostilities will occur before
the end OF September when the reinforce
ments from Asia will have been cOncen-
trated In Macedonia and In the cilayet Of
Adrianople. 1t Is not thought that there
will be any formal declaration of war, in
view of Bulgaria's vassal status, but 1t
IS thought that some frontier Incident Will
precipitate hostilties.
The Bulgarians and Macedonians re-
siding in Constantnople are In terror OF
massacre. A large number Of them were
arrested few days ago as a preventive
measure" and they have not yet been re-
leased. The fear Of a massacre Is proba-
bly, exaggerated, tho in the present state

ton, an insignificant incident might per-
haps lead to massacre.
The terrible accounts received regard
ing the conduct Of Turkish troops have
not surprised European circles here, but
many who have hitherto been optimistic
in their views now accept the prevailing
belief that Turkey Is ON the eve OF a ca
tastrophe.
A consular dispatch from saloniki says
that according to authetic informa ton the
insurrection in the district Of Monastir
has been practically stamped out. Bash1-
bazuuks assisted the regular troops in the
work Of repression, which is said to have
been carried out with sanguinary ruth
lessness, the object of the Turks being,
apparently, to exterminate not only the
Bulgarian inhabitants but all the Chris
tians of whatever nationality.

BULGARlA'S POSITION
VIII Not Provoke War, but VIII Defend
Herself If Attacked.

Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. 7.-According to
reliable reports from Varna, at the recent
council Of ministers presided over by
Prince Ferdinand at the palace of Euxi-
nograd, it was resolved that Bulgaria
should continue to maintain an attitude
of the strictest neutrality on the Mace
DOMAIN question, and further, that the
most stringent measures should be adopt
cd to prevent anything likely to cause a
disturbance In Bulgarla's relations. with
Turkey.
The war minister Is reported to have
spoken strongly in the council against
any thought Of Bulgaria declaring war on
Turkey; first, on account of the enormous
expenditure that such war would in
volve, and, secondly, because the great
powers would never permit Bulgaria to
reap the advantage If she were victo-
rious. Should Turkey attack Bulgaria
declared the minister, the present army
could hold the Turks In check for the
first few days, while the entire Bulgarian
army could be modified within three tc
twelve days. Bulgaria would never de-
clare war, he added, but If war was de-
clared against her. she would accept the
challenge fearlessly.
