YELLOWSTONE PARK
With Its Wonders To Attract
The Traveler.
THE 8EYSERS
Sending Forth Their Clouds Of

(Ab*Jtraet of paper read before Clare Study
Club by Mra. Jaa. Duncan.)
Late in tbe sixties the attention of
the world was directed to an unexplored region in the _ northwestern
corner Wyoming, aud accordingly a
number of exploring parties were
sent out to confirm the statements.
When tbe leaders submitted tbeir reports, Congrese, acting with commendable promptitcde, decreed that
this land should be set apart as a
perpetaal playground for the nation.
The mammoth Hot Springs hotel is
one of a series of five big hotels established in the park. And from tbe
wide veranda of this hotel we may-
see the terraces of the mammoth hot
spring*! wbich are the first phenomena presented to the tourist's eye.

St. Louis Girls' Team Ordered
Off By Supt.
The basket ball contest at tbe auditorium laat Friday evening did not
have a very bappy ending. The Supt.

peeved when his decisions were questioned, and stopping tbe game jnst
before tbe first balf was {inched.
The game stood 7 to 2 in our favor
at the time, so there was not much
question as to the ultimate result in
any case. But it seems the manner
in wbicb the Clare forwards threw
baskets aroused the ire of tbis official and he was about to see that
tbey were penalized ad infinitum. An
objection to this method of procedure caused the rupture referred to.
As Sec'y of War Garrison said, there
was nothing of a political nature,
however, in cur differences, and the
boys will go to St. Louis tbis week
to play tbe oft postponed game witb
the boys there. The girls again furnish entertainment here, meeting tbe
higb school team from Chssaning.
A preliminary scuffle of interest
was indulged in last week by tbe

other churches were present.
After a social hour in tbe church

Tbe matter will be brought before
the Common Council at its regular
meeting next Monday evening and if
they deem advisable, may order the
question submitted to the voters as
to whether this company shall be

for this purpose. It is the
wish to come true. Rut thet is what

of course, and having all three

Let us hasten up the snow wbite mme iwnmsHEB St. Louis Girls' Team Ordered Off By Supt. The basket ball contest at tbe auditorium laat Friday evening did not have a very bappy ending. The Supt. of Schools at St. Losls, who was acting as referee at the time, becoming peeved when his decisions were questioned, and stopping tbe game jnst before tbe first balf was {inched. The game stood 7 to 2 in our favor at the time, so there was not much question as to the ultimate result in any case. But it seems the manner in wbicb the Clare forwards threw baskets aroused the ire of tbis official and he was about to see that tbey were penalized ad infinitum. An objection to this method of procedure caused the rupture referred to. As Sec'y of War Garrison said, there was nothing of a political nature, however, in cur differences, and the boys will go to St. Louis tbis week to play tbe oft postponed game witb the boys there. The girls again furnish entertainment here, meeting tbe higb school team from Chssaning.

Come out and help tbe girls to win. and evil and seems.it must ever be so, but vve would that it may become better, and that is wbat we are think ing and striving for. As Americans cur homes are our stongbold, the key-note to our nation. Man bas and will shed his lite's blood to protect his home, for all be holds most dear are there, and woman will n ake do less sacrifice if necessary to a'd him. Woman's aid in community, betterment begins in her own home and its influence reaches out far beyond ber knowledge. How may we as women have a better, holier and purer influence in our homes? We feel tbe great responsibility and that much depends upon us, many of our homes are not all we desire them to be. We look about us and wonder what more can wo do, bow can we better our home conditions? We have many Doble women whose example and influence have been.and are beingfelt all over our land today for great good; but wben we come to compare our home life and duties to many of these women we might become discouraged and feel our work in our little corner too insignificant and of little Consequence. When we read and study the lives of so many great and noble women, we feel ourselves so small and of so little good in the world tbere isn't much use to try for any thing better. We under estimate cur real value. Let us not become discouraged because we cannot be wise and great and do world wide good, as those women but thank Gol for them aud let us remember we all belong to the one Father and that He has given unto eaeh of us our own place and work here.
