YELLOWSTONE

When this earth was first spun off into space, like a ball tossed from the hands of some celestial glant, there was one corner of the world endowed with all the won- ders and beauty of Nature.

One attempt had both humorous and tragic elements and the man responsible for it has been locked up as insane. He was a peasant who declared that he was a pro- phet, not only sent by God but specially designated by Christ, but with a very strange mission: to lead back the people from Bol- shevism to genuine Socialism.

Dr. T. A Poss, who presided, said many patients were sent to the psychiatrist, and stated to be suffering from high blood pressure. But such high pressure was seldom found. The truth was that the doctor undertaking the first ex- amination had upset the patient. and in that condition had taken his blood pressure, and inwardly thanked God that at last he had found physical sign.
