road and took branch for Gardiner. During this ride we obtained a faint idea of what Yellowstone Park might be. The road lay alongside the lower canon of the Yellowstone river. Sev- eral years prior to the building of the railroad James George, an enterprising individual, constructed a wagon road through the canyon and collected toll from each visitor to the Park. He was nicknamed "Yankee Jim," and the road was called "Yankee Jim'S' pass. Our conductor called our atten- tion to the road and said: Yankee attention to Paradise. In the dis tance saw what appeared to be two walls of rock some 15O feet apart, eX- tending up and down the mountain 2,0O0 feet or more. The place between the rocks they called the Devils slide.
 As we came into Gardiner the train stopped at the side of beautiful and interesting log station. Here people could rent duSterS to wear through the park if they wished to. There came call for members of the Ray mond and Whitcomb party to fill the first coaches. This was the way every where; those who belonged to this company came first at all times.

Around the little lake we went to come in sight of the massive, time-defying stone arch for which President ROoSe- welt laid the corner stone during his visit in 1903. Cut in smooth surface over the opening is the inscription: "For the benefit and enjoyment of the people," We pass through into the reservation known as the Yellowstone National Park, which, as it's name implies, belongs to the government and is cared for by it. It is about the size of Connecticut and is situated in the northwestern part of Wyoming, overlapping little onto the bounda- ries of Montana and Idaho on the north and east.

SHORTER RAILROAD HoURs.-Prepar-
ations are under way for a concerted
movement on the part of the big rail-
road brotherhoods to secure reduc-
ton of the present working hours for
railway employees all over the country.
The movement already has been dis
cussed in the grand councils Of the or
ganlzations. 1t is expected that 1t Will
assume definite form within the next
two months.
The grievance committees of many
western railroads will gather in Chi
cago In December to discuss desired
changes in working conditions. At the
same time the schedules governing
wages and hours will expire on at least
three western roads-the Northwest
ern, the Burlington and the st. Paul.
According to plans now laid, they OPP
pose demands of the employees.
The present hours of work on the
railroads range from ten to fourteen,
but I'm no case are they fixed. This Is
due to the nature of the employment.

THE SACRED 30 TREE.
One of the Most Wonderful Natural
Growths Ever Known.

In October, 1887, the sacred bo tree
at that time supposed to be the Oldest
living vegetable monument on the
earths surface, was uprooted and de-
stroyed by a cyclone which swept over
the island of Ceylon. The oldest writ
ten description of the sacred bo tree
now In existence Is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian. Fa Han, who
visited the island and the sacred tree
in the year Ala A. D. According tC
this learned Chinaman, the tree was
at that time 702 years old, having been
planted in the year 2SS before our era
by King Devinipiatissa.
AS soon as 1t was known through
out the island that the tree had beer
destroyed by the fury Of the elements
great crowds Of mourners gathered
around its sacred remains" and held
regular funeral services for two ol
three weeks. After the season OF
mourning was over the tree was cut
into proper lengths, each piece wrap

which would have been given a mem

ON CONSCIENCE.
A Few Remarks About That OF the
Public and the Individual.

A Few Remarks About That OF the
Public and the Individual.
The public conscience consists
mostly Of frances.
When once aroused the pupic
conscience sighs and sobs and sheds
blood with great fervor.
Most men prefer the public con-
science asleep.
It then closes its eyes and gently
slumbers once more.
With 1t in that condition II Is
much easier to stay out after the
ringing of the curfew.
It is also easier to stay the market
and strike the public for another
cent on the gallon.
The man who stirs up the puolc
conscience sometimes gets stirred
under himself.
It is the prerogative Of the public
conscience to send evil-doers to pris-
on, when the private conscience OF
the average governor pardons them
out a few at a time.
The public conscience differs from
the private conscience only in guam
tity, not In quality.
One is as easy to manage as the
other-when asleep.
There are more kinds Of conscien-
ces thah you can count
The civilized conscience is Guilt
waited and is adorned with laces
tucks and frills.
1t wears a tailor-made suit and
eats with a fork.
The conscience Of the heather Is
as unimbellished as Is his body.
The nudeness Of the combination
appeals to the conscience Of the mis-
sionary and he endeavors to utilize
the mantle of charity.
The man whose conscience wears
tight shoes Is not an agreeable COM
panion, as you are always afraid of
treading on its corns.
Very few men are too conscien-
tious to permit their hens to lay eggs
on Sunday. Most men work their
layers overtime.
The conscience Of some persons
closes its eyes to its own debts. but
keeps them wide open to the debts
Of others.
The conscience Of the monopolisi
Is as tough as a white pine knot and
will burn as freely.
Confession and restitution are
highly recommended for this malady
Some patients try philanthropy in
stead and with different results

NEW TWENTY DOLLAR BILL.-A new
$50 gold certificate is now in circula-
tion.
The new bill Is unlike the old SAT-
from -colored $50, $50 and 500 notes.
The predominating shade on Its face Is
steel, while on the back the yellow OF
the old note is replaced by a rusty
brown. George Washington's face oc-
cupies the center instead Of Garfeld's,
which is to the right Of the center on
all notes, and 1t in the extreme right OF

on the left Is the figure 20 In saffron,
surmounted by Of the same shade:
Around the edge runs broad band OF
engraved work in steel. The rest OF
the face Is a pale gold.
On the back the golden eagle OF tne

gives up it's place to a smaller and more
formal bird, encircled by bonds ana

were marched in by Henry Ill
to overawe the council Of six
teen" The barricades were terribly
successful then. for the soldiery
would have been annihilated had not
the court consented to negotiation In
time to save the remnants Of the
1000.
During the three days revolution
in Paris seventy-five years ago the
populace showed thli 1t had not for
gotten. Men, women. and children
worked to build ramparts in the
streets, tearing up the roads and
pulling down buildings and trees for
their materials. Louise PHILIPPE fell
when the first barricade Of the revo-
Ilutionaries was run up. There was
terrible fight to follow, In COM
parison with which that at Lodz was
insignificant. Sixteen thousand per-
sons were killed and wounded and
half as many taken prisoners. The
damage done amounted to $6.00O,OOo.
When Louis Napoleon seated HIM
self he remembered barricades and
their power, and determined that he
would have none of them. He made
wide boulevards, which cannon would
sweep with grapeshot; macadamized
the roads, and did all that he could
think of to make the barricading OF
the streets impossible. But the days
of the Commune showed that the old
art was by no means gone nor the
possibilities exhausted.
London also has had its barri-
cades. On the occasion Of the fu-
neral of Queen Caroline, in 1921, the
crowd barricaded the route by
which the body was to have been
smuggled out Of the capital.-Baiti-
