An ancient tavern Is srill standing
In Ilartsville, which Is of spechl In

Its association with Benjamin Frank
lin's connection with the postal sor
vl.e of colonial days.
It was known as the "Old Cross
Roads Hotel" In the long ngo, when
Ilirtsvllle wns called "Hart'- Cross
roads," because the Bristol road and
tV York road here Intersect, says a
Hartsvllle special to the St I-outs Re
publlc. The Hart family were among
the earliest settlers In tire vicinity and
gave the name to the place. One ot
the most fumous proprietors of the old
tavern belonged to the Hart family,
I'ol. William Hart, who came from
Pluuistend to the Ilartsville hotel
about 1780 and kept It until 1S17.
He Is noted as having been a man
of fine appearance and great physical
strength, and while In I'lumstcad hi
had been prominent In the capture of
the IVinns, who during the revolution,
took advantage of the troublous tlmon
to rob and murder many of the citi
zens of the region and even to plun
der the county treasury nt Newton of
several thousand dollars. ,
The early tftages carrying the United
States tnnll from Philadelphia to New

of Kerr's hill, a mile distant, he gavu

It wns many years previous to this,
about 1755, that Benjamin Franklin
wns postmaster general of the united
colonies. He used to go up and down
the York road between New Y'ork nrnl
Philadelphia In a (mo-horse chaise,
looking after the Interests of the pos
tal service, and the Cross Bonds hos
telry wns his favorite stopping place
along the way.
The rambling old Inn, standing with
Its end to the York road, has been out
wardly altered by shingle roof and
plaster cast walls, but It Is claimed
that the Interior of the building Is
practically unchanged since the days
when the old mall coaches stopped
here for 'their relay of horses and
noted guests from the distant cities
patronized the ancient tavern.

The great gorge In the granite peak
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains known
ns the Yoaeniite Valley was set apart
by act of Congress In 1SH4 "for public
use, resort and recreation for all time."
The Valley has slow been taken over
by the Government and made a part
of the nation's domain, and Is now one
of the four national parks. The name
Yo-sem-l-te means grizzly bear, nn.l
was probably the name of an Indian
chief. The troughlike valley, walled
with sheer cliffs of enormous height,
and presenting to view within n com
paratively limited area the moat aston
ishing features of scenery known In
the world, excites feelings In tho mind
of the observer which nre a mixture of
awe and admiration. The Yosemlte !s
renernlly regarded by foreign visitors
to this country among our greatest

The reservation, as now officially out
lined. Is thirty-two miles in width, from
east to west, and forty miles long from

The offer which would have netted
the boy $LX),000 next year, came from
a French owner, M. E. Veliplcard. It
carried a retaining fee of $10,000.
Wootton's father refused it, ns he
would not let the boy go to France
without him, and In order to go he
would have to sell out his stable and
break up his home.
"Besides," says Wootton, Sr., "I
really think Frank Is too young to have
such a large retaining fee."

be seen, the V-shaped nnd the U-shaped.
It has the characteristics of a gorge
and nlso of n canon. It Is nearly en

nearly 5,000 feet In height. On the
north side Is a huge block of granite
called El Cnpltan. It projects Into the
valley so that two of Its smooth, al

the height Is 3,.!00 feet. Opposite El

called the Three Brothers, 4.0(X) feet

After reading Mark Twain's remarks
on Cooper, young people mny think thnt
Indian craft, the ability to follow the
f;ilntest trail, and to deduce from the
signs nnd tokens the motive and pur
pose of the maker of the trail, belongs
only to the old-fashioned story books.
A true story, which would please both i
Mark Twain and Cooper, relates the i
feat of "Yesterday," an Apnche Indian
In Arizona, who followed the trail of !
a lawbreaker for miles across the dry. ;
flinty desert detailed every action of
the suspected man, both before and
after the commission of the crime, and i
absolutely disproved a plausible story ;
which Implicated two tramps In the
wrong-doing.
Yesterday Is a middle-aged man, and
has never been what Is termed a "hos
tile." He has no knowledge of English.
but Is deeply versed In tho ancient '
ernft of his race. The tracks left by
the man upon the desert were so slight
that tho white men could not see them
a all, even by bending over until their
eyes were not more than three feet
from the ground; but Yesterday follow
ed tho tracks at a rapid trot. Where
the man had stopped, the Indian ex
plained tho purpose and what had hap
pened. Here he had wavered nnd
thought to turn to another point; there
he hnd formed a new resolution nml
pressed on all of which proved to be
true.
In court, the Indian's testimony was
tho most dramatic and realistic ever
henrd In thnt region. The Apnche spoke
largely In pantomime, and although tin
Jury could not understand a word be
uttered, they knew his meaning per
fectly before the Interpreter could make
the translation.
Asked who committed the deed, be
stood up and pointed an accusing arm
at the man on trial. The testimony of
an actual eyewitness would not have
been more convincing, and a verdict of
guilty was promptly returned.

finally reached the valley, whose won

the Indians and made peace. Never

' party of miners was attacked by red

slain near Bridal Veil meadow. An
other expedition followed, more Indi

driven out, being compelled to take
refuge with a tribe of Monos on the
east sldo of the Sierra. But trouble
followed: the fugitives stole horses
' from tho Monos, fled to the Yosemlte,
were overtaken, and In a battle were
almost entirely exterminated.
In 1850 tho first pleasure travel to
tho Yosemlto began, and a trull enter

that year, opposite Yosemlte fall. The
