world which possesses the like. Then
the hot pools are not only exquisitely
beautiful but also interesting. You
wonder how they keep up their inces-

We saw three of the best geysers in
action, Old Faithful, Riverside and
Grotto. Took pictures of them all.
We missed seeing the biggest one in
action (The Giant) the afternoon we
arrived. 1t plays for 80 minutes and
is in action only once in six or eight

the lake on the way. The lake is
wonderful because it is largest in the

of the Yellowstone river, which is one
of the grandest in the world.
BY the way, on the second day, we
passed a wonderful sight in the shape
of a roaring mountain from which
numberless jets of steam were pour

We reached the Grand Canyon about
$50 Friday afternoon. We saw the rap

about 100 feet and making a thrilling
sight. and after that passed on to the
Grand Falls, where the water drops
straight down for $40 feet. The inn
mensity and sublimity of the sight can
not be described. 1t was worth the ex-
pense and hardship of the trip just to
sit and watch and hear that water. BY
looking closely you could see the water
breaking into spray about so feet from
the bottom. This spray would dash
against the almost perpendicular rocks
to the river in little rivuIets. We staid
there till it was too dark to see longer,

of road which cost Uncle Sam just
$4,000. The expense is caused by a
concrete bridge clinging to the side
of the mountain. At this point one
first sees a waterfall. 1t was the one
thing in the park which 1 was in a
hurry to see and I did enjoy it, al

with other falls in the park. Before

The accompanying list of endorsements was given
to Prof. j. Austin Larson voluntarily by his patients
during the last week of his stay in Saina, Kas; last
fall. During the time he maintained Offices there, pa
tients came to him from all parts of Kansas and even
from adjoining states, attracted because he was doing
the work. The same has been true in even a greater
degree during the past few weeks since he has re-
opened Offices in Salina, because the permanency of
the results he obtains has been proved by time.
Although Prof. Larson opened Offices in Topeka,
Kasy just four weeks ago and that in the hottest time
OF the year, his offices are crowded from 8 o'clock in
the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening every Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday. Every mail brings in

Aliens Experience With the Gipsies

Allen Breithaus was so tired of school he felt he could bear 1t no longer. Why 1t mattered whether the earth went around the sun or the sun around the earth he could not see. You got just as much sunlight and just as much dark ness whether you knew It or not. Cube root seemed to bear no relation to any thing in life that was of any interest or importance; and as for history, it sure iy was wasted time to number the mind with dates and battles and discoveries so long past that even your great-grand- father, If he were living, would know nothing about
 It was especially exasperating to bo confined and tied down to such dry mat ters when there was such stir Of life outside-sap stirring in the trees, buds and leaves shooting forth, birds nesting and the sun warming the air to laziness. It was fit only to be hasking outdoors and feeling the thrill of young life and the soothing influences that were abroad.
 Aliens father told him that If he ever was to amount to anything he must study hard and fit himself for business or a profession. There must be some kinds of existence that would be worth while where the tiresome studies that he was tied to would not be necessary. he meditated

 That was a life worth living, thought Allen--outdoors all the time, variety, seeing new people and new things, never a printed page to be memorized and no being cooped up in stuffy rooms.
 All that day Allen thought more about

 Yes" he replied.
 Get on then with Bill. You'll see more of the world than a-stayin' here with me-
 But
 You ain't seen the last of us-never be afeard." she assured him. Now be off with ye."
 The man started the horse so suddenly and the gait was so peculiar that Allen had all he could do to cling to the man.
 Where are we going?" he asked after a few minutes, but man only laughed hoarsely and urged the horse to new an- tics and fresh speed They rode and rode until Allen ached, and then they rode farther and he began to feel sick. When ever he asked Bill a question he merely rode the harder. At last, when 1t seemed to Allen that he would surely die of pain and weariness, Bill turned the horse abruptly Into the woods and came to a halt. with a sickeningly sudden jolt.
 A woman parted the bushes and called out: Whats up?"
 Got a milk face here" replied Bill. and then fell to talking the language that Allen had heard in the camp.
 "All right, laddie; come in with your mother" said the crone, leading the way through a growth of underbrush to hovel in the woods completely hidden from the road. Allen had never seen such a dirty place as the inside of that hovel was. He would not have believed

 In spite of his disappointment, Allen slept well rolled up in his blanket until next day. He knew 1t was useless to attempt to run away from the gypsies and he was almost glad the next day when he found himself at home.
 T ran away from home because I was tired of school.'' he told his parents.
 And we found him on the road miles from here." said Gypsy Robert, "and hearing you had offered a reward of s2OO we brought back your son."
 The reward was paid and the gypsy rode away with a warning look at Allen.

without his leggins and overshoes. or sometimes he refused to go to school at all, always saying that the weather should not change, but should remain forever the same. When his mamma re- lnonstrated with him about this naugh- tiness he would lie flat on the floor and kick up his heels and scream most dreadfully. This he did very frequently. Now, 1t happened that one day, when it was raining very hard, and the Naughty Little Boy had kicked and screamed till he was so tired that he became sleepy. the big hall door opened, and funny looking old Greybeard came into the room and led him away. Far up, up a steep hill they went. and at last stopped in front of a great door, over which the Naughty Little Boy read these words: Weather Factory" A queer little man opened the door and admitted the Naughty Little Boy. say ing as he did so: "Ah. here's the naughty fellow who don't think things of this world are run right.

the gypsies than about anything else. He failed in his recitatlons, he did his chores badly, and when he sat down to study in the evening he could not re- member a word he read. The next morn ing, instead of going to school, he went to the gypsy camp. It was the first time that he had ever run away from school, but the desire to follow the gypsies had got into his blood.
 The camp was about a mile out or town by the side of road that was lit tie used. Several wagons were drawn up by the road and a dozen or more horses were tied to the fence. A couple of girls younger than he was were mounting and dismounting from a bare backed horse with ease. He couldn't do that and he felt humiliated at acknowl- edging it to himself. But he would learn. There was sense in trying to do things of that sort. In the field were tents and more wagons. A boy or about his own age, not so tall, but sturdier sat on the fence. He looked sharply at Allen.
 What you got?" he demanded im- pudently
 Nothing" retorted Allen, resentfully.
 ''No money, eh?" The stocky boy had come down from the fence and before Allen could realize his intention he had ripped him up and was running his hands deftly through his pockets.
 Stop. you thief" Allen cried. strug- gling to his feet and trying to get grip on the gypsy boy who eluded his grasp by tricks that were new to Allen. His fighting blood was up. however and he plunged fiercely into the struggle. The boys wrestled and pounded and fought, first one having the upper hand and then the other. until both were bloody and dusty.

 ''Let us alone" cried the boys and went at each other again. harder than ever, but the next minute a fierce-look- ing woman, speaking a strange language put an end to the fray. The gypsy boy desisted instantly at her word of com mand, and Allen let go in sheer surprise at her appearance.
 She shook me gypsy boy well and threw him into one of the wagons
 What are you doing here?" she asked turning to Allen. Did you want your fortune told and have you silver to cross the palm?"
 ''No. don't want my fortune told. ! want to travel with the gypsies and that fellow tried to rob me-" replied Allen, rubbing his wounds.
 "Ah, you want to go with the gypsies? And what may your name be?"
 "Allen Breithans."
 ''Do you live in the town yonderr'
 "Yes, but l hate school and I want to live out of doors and travel about in wagons and ride horses"
 The woman called several of the men and talked with them in the strange language Presently she returned to Allen.
 .'Food and clothes cost monev" she said. "If you travel with us, have you anything to pay?"
 T brought all I had; it's H7s." re- piled Allen. "but I'm willing to work and I thought 1t wouldn't cost much because you don't have any houses and you get your food as you go along.

And then some odd people with fingers of icicles soaped him with snow till they made a great father of 1t, and he shivered dreadfully. but never once did he scream or make a fuss.

 And then they turned the Rain on him, and 1t rained and rained and rained And a great whip of Lightning dashed through the wall and switched his bare little legs, and voice like Thunder roared why don't you kick up your heels and yell, Little Boy?"

And it blew and blew and blew on him. and the Sun burst forth and shone and shone and shone on him till he was as dry as if he had been wiped with a towel Then they wrapped the Naughty Little Boy with soft white cloud, which kept him comfortable.

He saw little Sunbeams carrying warmth into the factory, and the clouds bringing in great barrels of rain for distribution.
 Then the old Graybeard took the Naughty Little Boy to the storage room and showed him the wonderful things that had been made in the Weatbef Factory. There were great stacks of fruits, with rich, red cheeks; purple grapes and plums; all sorts of nuts. and everything that grows, whether in the tropics or in the other zones.
