"The Yellowstone Park is something
absolutely unique In this world. as far
as I know. Nowhere else in any civil
ICED country Is there to be found such
a tract of veritable wonderland, made
accessible to all visitors, where at the
same time not only the scenery Of the
wilderness. but the wild creatures of
the park, are scrupulousiy preserved"
President Roosevelt.
This delightful spot IS more easily
reached via the Union Pacific than by
any other line. The stage ride from
Monida, by the splendid Concord
coaches of the Monida & Yellowstone
Stage Company, is thru scenery hardly
inferior to the park itself.
The popular route to the Yellowstone

The girls remained that night under

Catherine Goggin. financial secretary
of the Chicago Teachers Federation,
yesterday afternoon. Il personally
know of many cases where the men
who make these loans have driven a
hard bargain Many teachers without
means meet with a crisis once in a
while which demands a certain amount
of money at once. In these straits
many women of good breeding and fine
sensibiiities seek the office of the loan
shark.
Miss Goggin was asked what she
understood the interest rate to be.
!"Generally it is percent month-that
is the usual figure. There may be
loans made at a smaller rate and some
made at higher
superintendent Cooley said he appre-
ciated the fact that he was being utl-
lized by the loan sharks as a quasi
collection agent. Mr.. Cooley declared
he did not like the situation, and limited
that he might talk 1t over with board
members and see If something could not
be done to keep the money lenders
away from the superintendent office.
Il have heard of cases where per
cent u month is charged" said Mr..
Cooley The rate is beyond question
exorbitant.'
There are advertisements of various
loan agencies in the publications taken
by Chicago school teachers. Two of
the advertisements appear in the pub
