Breathing Room.

The great atmospheric ocean
presses around us everywhere, but at
the bottom the currents are often slug.
gish, and in the area OF great cities
where the life swarms in the gaseous
ocean are dense the mass of the life
fluid may easily become poisoned with
gases. Every open space in the
densely settled sections of great cities
adds to the breathing room and so to
the general wholesomsness. Parks
and open squares are the lungs of a
big city. They are not only places
Of resort that offer a gratifying change
but they actually assist the move
ment Of air currents Of the streets and
alleys. The multiplication of chill
dren's play grounds in large cities dur
ing recent years has resulted In i'm
mensely promoting the open.air habits
Of the growing generation. We are
at last getting away from the theories
handed down to us from our remote
ancestors-the cave jewellers. We are
coming more and more to initiate the
ancestry that antedated the cave men
we are learning the tonic power that
comes from living in the open air. In
the summer time especially we need
plenty Of breathing space and we
should not betoo squeamish about let
ting the sunshine directly down on us
now and then.

HAS HAD ENOUGH OF WATER.
Pony's Experience Taught Prospector
in Yellowstone Park to Avoid
the Fluid.

Il had a little experience with ami
mails and water myself" spoke up an
other whose attire did not speak of
the travelling man, but rather OF the
native Montanan.
Il used to be in the Yellowstone Ma
tional park before there was ever a
road there or a forest guard or SOL
der. In fact, | helped pick out the
routes by which the tenderfeet OF the
present day see the wonders of nature
and occasionally the wonderful nerve
Of the hlghwayman. Naturally the old
trails led along a different course from
the present roads. for We used to take
the shortest way across and where we
could not ride we would walk and lead
our ponies.
"One day l was riding between the
upper and the lower geyser basin and
my pony and came to a creek which
looked as if it would be pleasant to
taste. | stopped the nag 70 taste the
water. but the pony beat me to II. He
had his muzzle buried up to his eyes
in an instant and in less than half that
time he had 1t back out with a roar
OF pain that could be heard mile
away The water was boiling hot, but
the heat of the ground near the earth
kept the steam from rising. The pony
jerked away from me and went buck
ing and bawling through the trees,
carrying my blankets and grub with
him.
1T was two days before | found him
and caught him again. Then all of the
hair was off his muzzle from his eyes
to his nostrils. l creased his head
with bacon fat and made the nag as
comfortable as possible. II was neces.
sary that should ride him, for had
an appointment on the banks of Vel.
lowstone lake with the rest OF the
party. and | turned his nose gently In
that direction.
Next day We came to stream
which came directly out of a snow
bank and the pony, depending upon
that sign of GOODNESS. put his head
down and took another drink. The re-
suit was that his mouth and nostrils
shrunk up so that he could no longer
whinny or breathe, Within two min.
utes he was dead. Investigation
showed that he had drunk from an
alum spring; what we believed to be
snow was alum crystals. | stripped
the saddie-frofn the horse and paCkgd
1t ten miles to camp.
From that day to this have never
tasted water on my occasional trips
to the Yellowstone park, and do not
see how can be blamed for my &C.
ton either. "-Anaconda Standard.

ROADS IN COOPER COUNTY
The King Drags Started the
Movement There.

The following report comes from
Boonville:
The King drag educated the peo
pie Of this county TO the value and
the need Of good roads. A few years
ago the roads Of Cooper county were
as muddy, as full Of ruts and puddles,
and as bad in every way as the worst
oil any county In Missouri. Then
came the King drag. A few farmers
10 different parts Of the county, who
had seen the work Of the King drag
In other places made drags Of their
own and worked them on the roads
that passed their farms.
The campaign OF education moved
slowly. In the days when the King
drag was curiosity here the sight
Of one at work always drew crowd
to make fun Of It. But gradually the
farmers saw that the roads that
were dragged after each rain we're
good roads, almost a. hard az ma.
cadam and always smooth and free
OF ruts and mud holes. Thsn other
farmers made King drags and used
them. The triumph OF the King
drag came when the county cour,
recognized Il officially and declared
that the court would pay each farm
or twenty-five cents q mile for each
time he dragged the road past hi,
farm after each rain.
There are 100 miles OF road II
this4 county and Is per cent OF thu
mileage is dragged after each rain
The result IL that Cooper county hal
better roads than the majority o
counties In Missouri.

Starved Amid Plenty.

There lies in the morgue this morn
ing the body OF an unidentified man who
died In this city of starvation. A man
who starved to death In Pittsburg
amid wealth unrivaled by that Of Or
mus and Of Ind.
This Is a curious truth, an odd
thing. an event that must strike every
beholder as a thing at variance with
the natural order. It Is a fact SO pitt
full that 1t wrings the heart and brings
tears more scalding because they are
futile to restore life to the inanimate
form on the marble slab.
Starved to death where there Is food
and riches! It Is a strange thing! II

FOREST SERVICE BUILD.
ING TELEPHONE LINES

Mlssoula, Noy. 30.-Supervisor w.
W. White of the Bitter Root nation al
forest announced yesterday that two
new telephone lines have recently been
constructed in the Bitter Root valley.
The longest line has been erected by
the rangers of the forest and extends
from Stevensville to the ranger station
on Ambrose creek, about 13 miles east
nected with the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company's line.
The second line has been constructed
to run from Darby a distance of six
miles to the Lick creek ranger station.
This line has no connection with the
Bell telephone, but, like the other, is
intended for the use of the forest SER
vice only. Sixty five miles of lines
branch out from Darby, extending in
every direction and tapping all of the
rough country in that region, and MAX
ing it possible for forest rangers and
guards to at once notify each other in
case of fire anywhere in the vicinity.
Further improvements are under
way in the country south of Darby.
The service is building a trail from
what is known as jennings camp,
southeast of Darby, to the forks of the
Bitter Root river, a distance of six
miles. A bridge and rangers cabin
are also being erected near the Jen-
nings camp. The bridge is to be of
timber, about As feet in length, and
will have two piers. Other improve
ment work is contemplated.
