THE joining of separated parks by a

The query of the subject unless it be con-

Wilderness. therefore, it is necessary to
put the national parks on trial. Indeed,
we may quite properly put upon the
stand the whole American park idea. 1t
is necessary to call the recent rapid de-
velopment of a certain kind of park in
the United States an American idea, for
it has no close parallel abroad. The
American service park is new world
idea.
Inquiry has developed that in 1909
seventy-four American cities owned A.
576 acres of parks, an average of four
tenthS of an acre to the 100 OF their
population. This American service park
idea, into which we are inQuiring criti-
cally as to it's true value, has its extern

LITERALLY DEAD AT HIS POST.

Charles c. Boyd. an Associated
Press telegraph operator in the Office
of the Roanoke, Va, Times. fell dead
while working at his key in the office
of that paper one night last week
Before the body of the stricken WORK
err had been removed from the room
another operator was sitting at the
Ikey, transcribing on the typewriter
the story OF the days events in the
world outside. The click OF the iu-
strument never ceased. The thread
OF the story was taken up by the sue
cessor. Meanwhile, for 1t was draw
ing near press hour, an editor in an
adjoining room was writing notice
of the death OF Boyd and in a few
seconds the obituary of the fallen
one was being converted into type
on n Mcrgenthaler in the same build
ing.
II was an incident OF life and death
in n modern newspaper office, where
men are but pieces of the ceaseless
machinery which serves the great
reading public with the news Of the
day. One piece snaps from accident
.or long use and its place is supplied
in a moment. The broken part is cast
into the trash-Aeap and goes out WITH
the garbage. But the machinery does
not stop. 80
The death of Boyd at his post or
duty, was Of this character-lhut OF
course, while the exactions OF the
work cali for the least possible delay
and scarcely afford time for the drop

which prompts the paying OF proper
