o Young One. look upward and see
The shine of the prize
That dazzles your eyes
With the CLEAN of the glory to be.

It's luster illumines the world
And you start on your way

And the line of your march is bestrewn
With the roses that bring
You the fragrance of Spring
While the fullness Of earth seems your

You battle and toll and keep on
For the glittering prize

At eve as it did at the dawn.

And crown you with laurel and bay.

CHANCE FOR LION HUNTERS.
Cougars Multiplying Too Rapidly in
Yellowstone National Park.

Mountain lions have increased 50
rapidly in Yellowstone Park of late
that they threaten the extinction OF
deer, elk and other wild animals that
live in this great government game
preserve. SO numerous have the coug-
ars become that the government
through President Rooseyelt's recon-
mendation, has given John and Homer
GOff, celebrated guides and hunters 1T
Meeker, Col, contract to clear the
lions out of Yellowstone Park. John
Gof is the guide who won fame TAX
ing President Roosevelt on his success
full cougar-hunting trip to Colorado.
The work of hunting lions In Yellow
stone Park will, it is estimated, take
several seasons, and in the meantime
there is a demand for lion hunters in
Colorado, Wyoming and other cattle
states, where stockmen are suffering
great losses from these predatory ami
mails. Cougars are said TO be on the
increase in the Rocky Mountains.
Owing to the enormous number of
mountain lions i'll Yellowstone Park
the government will not have to pay
a large bounty TO the Goff brothers.
The hunters will receive a bounty Of
s. on each mountain lion they kill, in
addition TO a salary of SO month
each for their work Most of the work
will be done between the spring and
fall. for the winters are very severe in
Yellowstone Park, the climatic condi-
tons being almost arctic, owing to the
moisture generated by many geysers.
The Gof brothers have the largest and
finest pack of cougar hounds in the
world.
For some reason the mountain lion
prefers the flesh Of a colt to that OF
any other animal, and cougars have be-
come the terror of horse raisers in the
Rocky Mountain states. 1t is estlma-
ted that ms result OF the ravages of
mountain lions in the last year not
fifty colts are left alive on the ranges
