Crater Lake National Park.
Many thousands of years' ago
among the majestic volcanoes of
the Cascaie Range towered one,
perhaps the loftiest of them' all,
which has now disappeared.
After the cataclysm which swal
lowed this hugh mountain there
remains, liowever, an enormous
crater, a- caldera, which more
than compensates in interest for
the less of the mountain. There
are thousands nf pratore in the
United States, but there is only
ne great caldera, and that con
tains Crater Lake, truly one of
the wonders of America. If
Crater Lake was situated in the
hi .in of the Appalachians thou-
ds of people would visit it an
ally; if it was an Alpine crater
ttfmy Americans would rave over
It ftS the rhninpot o-om nf F.nvn-
Pean reentry. As it is, although
fte Crater Lake region has been
-j
a national park since 1902, the
People who have visited it num
ber only a fay thousand. But
an awakening is at hand; the
railroad is building a line close to
the park, the Government is
Planning road and trails, and
JVlthin a short time it will be the
fault only of the people therr
Selves if they fail to visit this
Wonderful region and receive im,

Got Things Mixed.
It wasn't a Missouri editor but
a printer's devil who was going
through his first experiment in
"making up" forms. The paper
was late and the boy got the gal
ley mixed. The first part of the
obituary notice of a penurious
citizen had been dumped in the
forms, and the next handful of
tvpe came off a galley describing
a recent fire. It read like this:
"The pall bearers lowered the
body to the grave and as it was
consigned the flames there were
few if any regrets,- for the old
wreck had been an eyesore to the
town for years. Of course there
was individual loss, but that was
fully covered by insurance."
The widow thinks the editor
wrote the obituary that way be
cause the lamented partner ot
her joys and sorrows oweu nun
five years' subscription.
