Charley has a tough time getting to work, and when he arrives late, the boss gives him the razzberry. He presents the boss' secretary with a rose. The boss promptly throws it into the basket and incidentally, he has a half dozen flowers of his own to give to the girl, but they are smeared with ink. His face is blackened as a result. He is on the verge of firing the big fat boob when he receives a letter for Charley announcing that Charley's rich uncle is dead. The boss treats Charley most gloriously and sends him to a fine tailor and haberdasher. When the will is read, each relative is given a dollar for every pound he or she might weigh. Charley is given a cuckoo clock. The secretary gives him the go-bi. Then the trades people enter and take their clothes from him. The boss enters as Charley tosses the clock away. It hits the boss on the dome, and a shower of bills fall out. Charley then throws the boss out and collapses with joy.

This fascinating region was set apart as a Government Reservation, to be known as Yellowstone Park, in 1S72. The park proper is about 62 miles long, from north to south, and 54 miles wide. While the tourist may reach the park entrance by rail, it has been decreed by Uncle Sam that beyond the Great Lava Arch Gateway the iron horse shall not trespass. So here leaving the pathway of steel we take our place on one of the six-horse coaches that run from Gardiner up to Mammoth Hot Springs. Coaching, Troops, Morris Basin, Great Fountain, Pack mules, Riverside Geyser, Old Faithful, Deer and Bear, Upper Falls, Canyon, Field Glasses. Standing on a balcony at Artist's Point we take up the field glass to have a tele-photo panorama of these weird walls with their clinging pine trees. We look down the Great Gorge. On either side walls of exquisite color rise with here and there pinnacle-like great church spires. Above our heads fly eagles who build their nests and raise their young on the top of these lofty peaks. The scene is a powerful one and beyond words, but the Great Falls add force and quality of action which tempers and dignities the whole scene. This enormous volume of water that looks like a curtain of lace, tumbles over a cliff of volcanic rock 310 feet. Here the traveler finds himself spellbound, held by the pure beauty of the scene. In turning away he pauses to marvel at the wonders of nature and the beauties of our great national playground.
