 It is possible that there remain in Yellowstone Park and the Teton game preserve immediately south about 25,- 900 elk, including this. seasons calves. Losses during the winter included about 5000 killed and others starved outside the park in Montana, and fully 2,000 were lost in Wyoming and Idaho. Moose in the park number perhaps 800; mule deer Commonly called blacktail) : 1,200; whitehall deer, 100; and prong horn antelope, 300
 Wild bison have increased to more than 100 animals; they are rarely seen except by rangers, as they keep to the
 most unfreq quented regions. Mountain sheep are another species seldom ob- served; there are about 200 in the park, their sure-footed .chara acteristics, en- abling them to inhabit cliffs and peaks where men cannot easily go.
 Bears are seen frequently by tour ists, especially near the large hotels, where they go to find scraps of food and to lick clean the sirup and pre- serve tins. For that reason, it is er- roneously thought that there are hum dreds of bears in the park, many times as many bears as there really are.

LESSONS FROM THE LIVES OF
 ELIJAH AND JOHN THE BAPTIST

The Lord has great use for marrow men, for men who are not in the least concerned to achieve general culture, or to conform their lives to the ordinarily accepted standards, but are content to be men of one idea and to work inde pendently. For often the world, which as wNpde is a very careless world, let ting things go in one early only to go out of the other, needs to be told the same thing over and again-yes till it is sick of hearing it. t needs, not so much that it may be convinced of what is right as to have what is known to be right thrust upon it's attention insistently. The men who undertake such work are called ''cranks' but as cranks they are a very necessary part of the worlds machinery
 The people with whom Elijah had to deal with knew very we'll they were do- ing wrong in being idol worshipers But they needed to see their wichedness through the eyes of a good man They needed to to be brought face to face with the fact that the God against whom they were shining was "a jealous God" It was necessary that some one must tell them: You're doing wrong i; you are doing very, very wrong, and un- less you mend your ways, you will bring upon yourself the wrath of God"
 Likewise John the Baptist needed not to eApIdln very careIulIy now ana why the people he spoke to were sinners Carefully prepared dissertations on sin and guarded denuneiations of the sins of the time were not in order. They would have been useless. But when John told the crowd that they were great sinners and needd to beware of the penalty that follows sin sooner or later, they knew without further barley that he spoke the truth.
 The churches and the world need more of such preaching today. Clever sermons, sermons teaching the duty of good works, and also sermons showing of the great depths of meaning in Bible teachings are good and necessary.
 Men naturally think of sin as matter of outward conduct. They admit that stealing and lying and drunkenness are sins, but few think of pride and vanity selk-seeking, self-indulgence and pleas ure-seeking as being sinful, unless when carried to extremes.
 Therefore for it is necessary that men like Elijah and John should use up here and there to awaken the consciences of the people
 It is one of the disadvantages of the age in which we live that there are con- paratively few men engaged in this work and that those who do engage in it are so often lacking in spiritual power mad wisdom
