Senator Obadiah Gardner, the man
from Maine with the Mark Hanna fea-
lures, gets more enjoyment out of a
ball game than a chauffeur does out of
soaring pedestrians. A short time ago.
in the absence of a league game in
Washington, Senator Gardner paused
on his way to the senate to watch a
bunch of boys playing on the Capitol
grounds.
One little chap had just muffed a
pop fly that, If safely handled, would
have retired the other side. He had
to stand for many shouts of derision
and deprecating epithets, and was
greatly cast down.
Senator Gardner called him over
to him.

Crossing the threshold of the great
valley of the Yosemite is like stepping
into some vast house or hall carved
out of the mountain. One passes sud
denly into a tranquil, restful region
that is enhanced by the power and
grandeur that encompasses it. The
picture of sunny glades and falls of
lucid water Is set in an enormous
granite frame three or four thousand
feet high. ornamented with domes and
spires and peaks that are still higher
The Grand Canyon of the Yosemite is
sublimity of different order. Com
ing from the petrified forest with its
trunks of thousands of gigantic trees
or tree ferns that grew millions Of
years ago, one gaZes down upon some
thing that is unlike anything ever
known upon the earth. It seems like
vision of some strange, colossal city
carved out of granite that has been
uncovered from the depth of geologic
time. There Is a wilderness of temple
like forms and monumental remains,
alcoves and amphitheaters and noble
architectural profiles that delight
while they bewilder the eye. Count
less waterfalls fiutter like lace against
the granite walls.
The first leap Of the falls of the
Yosemite is 1000 feet, more than
twice the distance Of the gilded dome
of the Metropolitan tower from the
earth below. The next leap is 400 feet
and the last 600. At the bottom the
water falls in spray like an endless
summer shower. Imagine the Hudson
river emptied of its water for seven or
eight miles from its mouth and deep
ened 5000 feet or more. Then fancy
the sides nearly vertical, with snow
white waterfalls futtering' against
them here and there, granite rocks in
spires and domes planted along the
rim, and a landscape of groves and
glades with still, clear winding water
at the bottom and you will have as
adequate a conception of the Yosemite
as it is possible to get without seeing
it.
Several thousand persons camp In
this enchanted valley every summer
Its floor is nearly level-not a chaos
of fallen rocks. More than 5000 acres
are meadows and pasture. Trees and
groves make it a natural park. Stage
lines and an electric line run from the
