living things. Fishermen came and
went, and the mixers and horseback
riders took the trails and returned

"The enormous increase in travel
to the park early in the. summer dis
closed the fact that it would only be
a matter of year or two before all
available camping space would be
taken long before the height of the
season; also that the streams of the
park, unless carefully stocked each
year, would be fished out before the
summer would be half gone. Antic-
pating the inevitable need of more
camping grounds, the Giant Forest
boad has been continued from VOL
verton to the Marble Fork river,
where splendid opportunity for the
development of fine big camp area
exists. There are no sequoia trees
here, but there Is a fine forest of
pines and frs, and the ground is COW

Fort Collins, Colo.-Joseph Emmett
ONeill, wealthy ranch owner in Col
orado, rejected for military service I'M
der the draft, is with the United States
army in France, taking the place Of
Walter Howard Stone, boyhood chum,
who married the girl that O'Neill
loved. The romance is one of re-
nunciation akin to that of Sidney Car
ton in Dickens famous "Tale of Two
Cities" and calls to mind the passage
of Scripture recorded in st. John 15 :13.
"Greater love hath no man than this,
that man lay down his life for his
friends"
Romance Began in Youth.
Joseph Emmett O'Neill and Walter
Howard Stone were born in Fort Col
Inns, college town in Colorado. The
former was Of wealthy family, which
owned great ranches that reached
across the plains into the Rocky noun
tains. The parents Of Stone were pi-
Oneers in the community and in mod
est circumstances. The girl in the ro-
nance was Marion Palmer, whose fa-
Their was one Of the founders of the
college and prominent in Colorado's
financial and social life. The three
families lived in the same block in
Fort Collins, and when school days
were over and Marion became Miss
Palmer, both young men became suit
ors for her hand.
Walter Stone became a bank clerk
and was ambitious to rise in his pro-
fession. O'Neill, whose father had
died, came into possession Of the FAM
lily fortune and the management of the
ranches. The race was neck-and-neck
for Miss Palmer's hand.
OF course, in the nature Of things,
that state Of affairs could not go on.
Finally Miss Palmer's heart began to
affect her neutrality. Then she sum-

Nine New Club Sandwiches.

Make them of three gOod-siZed slices
of toasted bread, one or more being
spread thickly with cottage cheese.
Lettuce or watercress and salad dress
ing are also used. The rest of the
filling may be varied to suit the taste
or the larder. The sandwich Is cut d.
agonally across, and served on an in
dividual plate with the halves ar
ranged in diamond shape. 1t is desir-
able to toast the bread on one side
only and to cut it Immediately after
toasting, as otherwise the pressure Of
cutting brushes out the cheese and
spoils the appearance Of the sand
witch. The cut slices may be placed
together again while the sandwich is
being filled, and the filling may be
sliced through with sharp knife.
In addition to the cottage cheese,
these club sandwiches may contain
1. Tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise dress
ing. 2. Thin slice cold ham, spread
with mustard, lettuce, mayonnaise.
3. Sliced tart apple, nuts, lettuce, may
onnaise. 4. Sliced orange, watercress,

Odessa before the war was proud
OF Its beautiful parks and houlevards.
The refuge of many French mobiles in
the time of the French revolution, the
streets are evidence of the fact, for
they bear names reminiscent of roy
atty of France. The main. thorough
fare, however, is the Street of the
TRANSPORTATION, which begins at the
magnificent cathedral and ends at the
gate of the consecrated ground of the
Orthodox Greek cemetery.
The population is largely Tartar, on
which has been grated Slav, Teuton,
Morse, Finnish and Lettish stock, but
at the beginning of the war it was
said to be still Tartar in the main. Cat
acombs extending under the rich city
and its beautiful suburbs through va
rious periods of Odessa's career have
housed the miserably poor, and at
times the underground inhabitants
have numbered as many as $4,000.

CAMPING PLACE OF NATION
That Seems to Be the Manifest Des-
tiny of the Sequoia National
Park.

Analysis shows that the very large
increase in visitors to the Sequoia
National park last summer amount
ing to nearly 60 per cent over the rec
ord attendance of the summer before,
a fact which strongly emphasizes
what has been called the manifest
destiny of the Greater Sequoia as
the future summer camping place of
the nation.
The report of the director Of the
national park service says:
sit was most pleasing sight to
stand in the midst of the Giant For
est during the summer and gaze upon
the attractively situated and taste
fully decorated camps nestled each
at the base of an enormous sequoia.
1t was peaceful scene and a beauti-
full one. There was nothing to do in
the forest but rest, breathe the health

water, and contemplate the dignity
and beauty of the biggest and oldest

captured by the Germans not
long ago, has been widely
known as an important center
of shipping and commerce, but its
interest does not lie so much in it's
great locked harbor, it's fine churches
and public buildings, it's factories or
it's size-it had half million people
at the beginning of the war-as in
the fact that century and a quarter
ago there was none of these in exist
ence.
New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia are cities almost ancient
in comparison with Odessa. Odessa is
sort of Chicago or Kansas City Of
Europe-a 'hew town." in the Ian
guage of the West. Just as there were
Indian trading posts where Chicago
and Kansas City had their beginnings,
so there was wretched little Turkish
village on the future site of Odessa in
the time of Catherine the Great of
Russia. Russia saw the possibilities
of port on the Black sea and reached
out and took it, with little or no pro-
test, for Hdjl Bey, as the Turkish vii
lage was called, was not worth quarrel
ing about Catherine founded Odessa
by rescript in 1894 and the booming
of the new city began.
Grain Built the City.
The Russian pioneers" built their
town on the plateau which forms ter
race from 100 to $50 feet above the
water front. Today a great staircase,
which is one of the wonders of Odessa,
leads up in broken flights from the
harbor to the city proper. Located at
the northwest angle Of the Black sea,
midway between the estuaries Of the
great Dnieper and Dniester rivers,
Odessa was the natural commercial
outlet for the vast stretches of grain
producing valleys beyond and its
growth was like that of the Western
trade centerS in America. The Eng
fish ships found their way there to load
their holds with grain, and exporting,
as the years went by, grew steadily
In volume for number of years.
The Crimean war interrupted Eng
lish trade with Russia, but when the
conflict was over the British traders
returned to Odessa. 1t was at this pc
Rod that they were forced to divide the
trade with Germany, for German
shippers had seized the opportunity to
gain foothold in the port.
The war offers just now an odd par
allel Of that war of trade waged 60
years ago. 1t may be of significance
to recall that the ultimate result Of
the Anglo-German contest for Russia's
Odessa trade was that the Jews gain
ed absolute control of the exporting
business Of the city.
In 1905 Odessa was the scene of
violent revolution. The Russian navy
mutinied and trained the big guns of
the warship in the harbor on the city.
The disorders were quelled by the
cars military forces, but not before
there was bloodshed and suffering
which conferred the worlds attention
on the city.

matter which was selected to be her
husband. They agreed. Miss Marion,
as girls sometimes do, followed the in
clinations of her heart, and selected
Stone, whose salary was meager, in
preference to O'Neill and his wealth.
Then came the draft.
Stone was summoned before the
draft board and passed. He was
placed in class and filed no claim for
exemption. O'Neill was examined and
rejected. In February Stone was or
dered to report. By this time an inter-
