The cultural footprint of The Three Black Trumps in Italy to serve as a cornerstone for cult enthusiasts worldwide.
Robert Clark falls in love with the daughter of a rich merchant. He rescues her from her burning home by climbing up between two buildings. When her parents object to his attentions, claiming that his social position is beneath that of the rich merchant, they elope, and a year later, when their baby comes, they are reduced to poverty. Robert continues at his trade, that of a chimney sweep and steeple jack, and undertakes to clean the tallest chimney in the city, when no one else will dare attempt it. He loses one of his scaling ladders just at the top, and hangs, between heaven and earth, while flames and smoke belch from the chimney. His wife manages to repay her debt to him by rescuing Robert from the very brink of death, when all other efforts of the fire department and the city authorities failed. While Robert is ill, following this terrible ordeal, she takes up the burden of his work and by her winning personality wins success as great as his. They come across an advertisement of a circus manager who wishes a ladder trick, and offering a good salary. This they eagerly accept, and work up, between themselves and little Robert, who is now five years old, an unusual and thrilling scaling act. Their success is instantaneous and "The Three Black Trumps" soon become known throughout the country. Fame and increasing salary come to the daring performers. In their journeys they come back to Martha's home town and when the stern but loving father sees his little grandson his heart softens, and Martha and her husband are received back into the home circle.

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.
