the elk in the section

!<G2E numbers. It has been
|<D observed By many Of
the hunters in recent years that a
larger number of cows have two
calves following them than in pre-.
vious years. The elk are becoming
acclimated to the high mountainous
country of the park and upper Yellow
stone and are growing more hearty
In their present environment. In
early days before the great valleys
and low lands were taken up by the
settler the elk were found in the big
open country except in late summer
months, where they were very often
found in the high mountains grazing
upon great plateaus. Early explorers
and prospectors noted very few elk in
the park and section north Of that re-
serve, and in fact very little game ex-
cept buffalo. This information was
obtained from DR.. Reagle, who was
with DR.. Hayden In his official expedi-
ton In 1871. when most of the geysers
were named and angulated.

They have learned to like the snow,
and during the first snow storms will
leave the low country where the
ground Is bare to climb upon the
plateaus and benches into a foot Of
snow. It is not uncommon to see
band Of elk making a trail through
four feet of snow, taking turn about
breaking trail. They will live all win
ter in this deep snow and will paw
out great patches, banking the snow
up around them and making it look as
though they were penned up in a big
corral with a great white fence
around it. They are fine rustlers and

The calves suffer the most from the

to the deep SHOWS, but there is not a
very large percentage that die, prob

They usually meet their fate in
March, which is the month the COW

The popular impression that the
Post Office department is advocating
a system of parcels post is not bourne
out by the position of Postmaster
General Hitchcock. Recommends
tons of the Post Office department
do not contemplate that the system
be placed in operation in any way
upon the railroads of the country, but
the report is in the nature of a re-
newal of the recommendations made
last year for legislative authority to
start a parcel post on rural routes,
and a similar organization for the
introduction of such service in cities
and towns having delivery by car
riers. The Postmaster General says
he believes that after the organiza-
ton of the system is completed in
this matter, that it's extension over
the railroads will be taken up. 1t
begins to look as though this sub.
ject would form one of the big ques,
tons of legislation to be fought out
in the present session of congress.

About one year ago I was taken SICK with terrible pain in my right Sioe- My family physician pronounced it ap- pendicitis. About two weeks ago l re- ceived your Almanac and read in it about weak kidneys, and my back hurting me so much, l thought l would try your Swamp Root and to my great astonishment, after using one bottle, l expelled three gall stones. which weighed 135 grainS-just think of 1t. My kidneys are not well yet. and so I have concluded to continue with Swamp Root. MT. Schwake. the drug gist, thought that it never was appen- dicitis and that the doctor had made a mistake. It was no doubt. gall stones that caused the trouble, or they would not have come away so soon after commencing with swamp Root

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION
 AT GRACE MEMORIAL CHURCH.
Addresses by Rev. pr. Eley and Rev.
 Walter Gay, Pastor.

Grace Memorial Baptist church held an enthusiastic gathering on Monday evening for the emancipation celebra- ton, of which William Fields was master of ceremonies. There was a programme of musical numbers, and addresses were made by Rev. w. H. Eley, D. D., pastor of the Mckinley Avenue A. M. E. Zion church, and Rev. Water Gay, pastor of the Grace Memorial Baptist church. Both the said much to encourage the colored citizens to make good along all lines
 Rev. MT. Gay said that the colored race, from the act of emancipation has entered upon an era of progress unprecedented in the annals of the decreased the illiteracy until it is about 49 per cent. and this in spite of the great disadvantages under which we labor. Refinement follows educa- tion, and in the home of the negro you find many evidences of the high est refinement.
 Wealth is also evident in a large de- gree in the race. The farms of negroes if joined together would amount to a section much larger than the New England states. If the same valuation was put on property owned by negroes reach to over a billion dollars
 In the professions the race has made rapid strides. Some of the prominent doctors are colored men. Lawyers we have to meet every call and to deal with the facts in all cases like lawyers of any other people. They are on hand if you need them, if you have the dough.
 There are preachers and theologians without number trying to save the souls of each member of the race. There are also authors and newspa per 1Di,a fv, the race Educators are toiling to bring out ideas that our children may discover their talents.
 In the commercial world we are talk ing a prominent place. Various are the enterprises in which the race is engaged. Banking and insurance bus- mess is being conducted successfully by the race. Drug and grocery stores and in fact all kinds of stores are conducted by members of the race. Tn the arts and sciences you can find ne groes contending and solving great problems like other men.
 But you say if the race has made such commendable progress, why com plain? My answer is that there is higher ground for all people, and we are not to content ourselves with what our fathers have done. We must say that If our fathers succeeded in doing much in their age, and under the ad- verse conditions we ought and we shall do greater things. We have greater opportunities than they had, and to be contented with doing what our fathers did would show that we are not as determined they were. We must not fear and falter

GIFTS TO HALLE CLUB. Number of Good Sized Ones Received Three Basketball Teams Organized.

Without all the returns in yet from it's Christmas doll sale, the Halle club has realized $400, and it is probable that this will be considerably increas ed, making this the most successful event in the way of sales that the club has held. By a number of good sized gifts recently received by the club from Norwich people. it is becoming apparent that the people of the city are beginning to realize the real and wonderful work it is doing, giving Norwich reason to feel proud of this club. which is held all over the coun- try as a model of successful work for girls.
 Three basketball teams are among the new activities with which the Halle club starts the year. No great expertness in the sport has been de- veloped yet but the girls are prac- ticing hard and learning the game fast To make accommodations for a large cooking class that is to start, two class rooms are to be thrown into one on the third floor of the building and there is large junior dancing class to begin the season.
