TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Simple Stratagem That Secured for
"Knight of the Road" a Sub
stantial Meal.
A clever little bit of human nature
was used by a "knight of the road" re
cently on a matron living in a suburb
f Pittsburg, and as a result he slept
with a full stomach that night.
The suburb is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped oil a freight and
imbled up the mala street he was quite
hungry. There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance of meals, and
the tramp lost no time. He was not
turprised when the first housewife
clammed the door In his face, nor the
econd, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do. But when he
ached the ninth house, or rather was
elpod away, he was thoroughly dis
gusted. The town certainly had him
oodooed.
After a short rest and a deep think
the hungry one knocked at the door
f the tenth house.
"Madam, can you let a hungry man
&Hve a bite to oat? I don't think you
ean, though," he said. The woman
aliened her ears.
"Why" can't 1?" she inquired.
"The wou.an next door said
idn't have enough for yourself."
He got his meal.

it is impossible for him to accept an
invitation to deliver an address to

ready been established by the government, some
because of their recognized standing as natural
wonderlands, such as Yellowstone, and others
through insistent championship of enthusiasts.
The youngest member of the playground fam
ily, now knocking at the door for national protec
tion, is the proposed Glacier National park In
northern. Montana. There are some people In the
east who do not even know that there are gla
ciers in the United States today, but think of
them as extinct monsters belonging to a past geo
logic era. To such the very name. Glacier park.
Is an education. There are no longer, it is true,
vast continental glaciers; even the great frozen
regions of Alaska are small in extent compared
with the ancient glaciers, but the remnants of the
onetime universal ice sheets, such as can be
seen In Glacier park, are so majestic and numer
ous as to awaken in the mind of the traveler sen
timents of unbounded awe and wonder at Na
ture's matchless handiwork.

Instead of shortening it will Indefinitely lengthen
It and make you truly immortal.
Nor are the attractions of the Glacier park
region confined to the scenic. Here lies, for in
stance, the majestic Lake McDonald, full of brisk
trout, as described by Mr. Mulr. in the heart of
the splendid Flathead forests of giant pine,
spruce and cedar, while ten miles above Is Ava
lanche lake, shimmering at the foot of a group of
glacier-laden mountains. Far up the white peaks
one can hardly fail to meet the white goat or
American chamois, while In other retreats dwell
deer, elk and bear, and many smaller, sleek-furred
animals enjoying their beautiful lives In company
with numerous bird species.
It Is hoped that the present session of con
gress will preserve for the nation this latest
playground and constitute it another of our na
tional parks. It will then be our second largest
park, surpassed only by the Yellowstone.
Tho Sixtieth congress made a favorable re
port on a Glacier park bill, which had also the
strong support of the secretaries of the interior
and agriculture. This report was based largely
upon a topographic survey made four years ago
by a United States geological survey party, and
upon a later compilation by Robert H. Chapman,
one of the party, embracing a total area of about
1.000.000 acres lying Just south of the Canadian
line and between Flathead river and the Black
feet Indian reservation. This area contains CO
or more true glaciers, ranging in size from small
glaciers of a few acres each to those covering five
square miles. It also contains over 250 glacial
lakes from a few hundred feet to ten miles In area.
The Rocky mountain system in the United
States abounds in regions of wild and magnificent
scenery, but it is doubtful if any of them sur
passes in grandeur and Interest that of Glacier
park. From its area water flows to Hudson bay,
the Gulf cf Mexico and the Pacific ocean. Mount
Cleveland, its highest peak, reaches an eleva
tion of 10.434 feet, and there are many other rug
ged mountains ranging from 6.000 to 10.000 feet
above sea level. This area of the northern Rocky
mountains, says Mr. Chapman, which lies to the
north of the Great Northern railway and to the
south of the Canadian boundary, is one of the
most beautiful mountain regions in the world.
Approaching the divide from the plains region to

mis rasses through the

these the game trails
lead from valley to valley. Following
the game came the Indians; the hunt
er and the trapper. looking for easy
routes of travel, followed the Indians;
then came the government engineers
exploring and mapping, and finally the
hardier of the tourists and lovers of
nature. Most of these passes are
closed for many months of each year
by the snow; some of them are avail
able only after the use of the ax to
give footing on the hard ice of gla
ciers lying close to the Continental
divide, but across one or two of them
wagon roads may be built by which
persons unfitted for the strenuous ef
forts now required to reach the higher
country may have opportunity to view
It at close range. None of the passes
that are south of the Canadian boun
dary will ever be used for a railway
route.
There Is Interest In Canada which
looks with favor upon the creation of
the proposed Glacier park, and at

rock wall of great
steepness extending
northwest by southeast
for unbroken miles ex
cept where cut by deep
U-shaped canyons.
These have been large
ly formed by the great
glaciers which once
slowly flowed from the
mighty snow-covered
peaks and ridges form
ing the divide between
the drainage of the At
lantic and the Pacific
oceans the northern continental divide.
Deep In he canyons are roaring streams, com
ing from the melting Ice and snow and flowing
Into placid mountain lakes below. Between the
canyons the long, finger-like ridges rise to consid
erable heights, the timber-covered slopes ascend
ing steeply until a region of brush-grown broken
rock is reached, which in turn leads to the base
of precipitous cliffs. The canyons at the head
usually terminate in great amphitheaters, rising
cliff over cliff in a stairway of tremendous pro
portions. Many of the steps of these giant's
stairways retain Ice masses which slowly flow
across tfcem, each fed from a large Ice mass
above until a region of huge snow banks Is
reached.
The main Rocky mountain mass Is actually
made up of two principal parallel ridges, the
Lewis and the Livingston ranges, which run ap
proximately through the center of the proposed
park. These ranges are the remnants of what
was once a much wider plateau-like region of
rock, which, however, has been mightily carved
and. shattered by the forces of erosion, princi
pally those of the great ancient glaciers. Resting
upon this great mass are the higher peaks, huge
pyramids and blocks, with din's and precipices
of hundreds and sometimes thousands of feet,
plunging away down to the roaring streams of
the canyons or ending In the great crevasse at
the head of some glacier.
To the westward the mountains break pre
cipitously, and from the foot of the steep. long,
timber-covered ridges reach out toward the valley
of the Flathead river. Between these ridges and
extending un the canyons of the higher range
are many miles of lakes. Joined by rushing
streams similar to those on the eastern side.
The whole park is inhabited by wild animals
and birds and tho streams abound in many kinds
of fish. In the higher barren rock areas the white
goat is found in great numbers, while on the
slightly lower ridges, where some protection Is
afforded by stunted timber growth and brush
and jagged slopes, the Rocky mountain sheep, or
"bighorn," has his haunts. In the valleys and on
the loner spur3 are many white-tail and black-tail
deer and moose; In places a few elk are found,
and over the whole area, from high glacier and
snow-field to huckleberry bush region of valley
and flat, roams the giant grizzly bear.
All the game animals use the higher moun

Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern railroads.
A route on the west side of the Flathead river,
says Mr. Chapman, is very available for the loca
tion of a railroad track.
In order to open up this region of superb and
unique scenery for the public, a few main road

Lake McDonald. It is pointed out in the senate
report. lying near the southwestern boundary ot
the proposed park. Is a sheet of water of un
matched beauty, surrounded by scenery of such
signal grandeur as to make a roadway along its
eastern shore extremely desirable, but this. It Is
stated. Is a matter for the future consideration of
congress.
The region combines all the elements of an Ideal
"playground" as it stands. It needs only official
designation to insure Its protection and perpetuity
as such to stimulate the establishment of trans
portation facilities, making It more readily avail
able to visitors. While of interest geologically. It
Is of little, if any, economic importance. The con-.
ditions are particularly adapted to the study of the
structure and history of mountain building, as the
ancient forces of nature were most active and a
tremendous folding and warping of the once hori
zontally bedded rocks Is In many places apparent.
At one time prospectors for copper flocked to the
region, but no finds were made indicative of any
economic deposits, and the same may be said as to
oil. From the reconnaissance made by the geo
logical survey it Is not believed that Glacier park
contains any mineral-bearing formations of com
mercial importance. However, If such are discov
ered following the creation of the park there will
be nothing to hinder their development.
KEEP YOUR FEET STRAIGHT.
How many men know how to walk? Most men
turn their toes In or out. a writer In the New York
Press says. The toes should not be turned either
way. Tbey ought to point straight ahead, so that
the foot at the end of each step can give the bodv
that upward, forward impetus that results in what
is called a springy walk. This does not mean that
a man should walk exclusively on bis toes. Th
whole foot must be used In proper walking Th2
goose step of the German army Is as absurd a th.

"Little of the city protruded above
the snow during the past winter,
though sunshine and heavy rains com
bined to keep the average depth about
15 feet. Valdez presented a peculiar
sight during the winter. Stovepipes
and chimneys were just visible above
the top of the snow, and entrances
to the stores and houses were made
by tunnels through the snow. All the
business affairs had to be carried on
by electric light, which was burned
all winter, day and night. Hotels and
boarding houses were crowded with
miners waiting to start for the Inland
mining districts over the Fairbanks
trail.
"A large number of miners went
over the Fairbanks trail during the
past year to claims In the interior of
Alaska. Along this trail there are
comfortable road houses every ten
miles or so, and there are none of the
hardships that were the portion of the
earlier prospectors before the trail
was established.
"Many 'mushers as the miners are
called up there, made the Journey from

sleighs, and dog trains pulled by the
Eskimo 'huskie- dogs, which are
worth as much as good horses la that
country."
