They are fine, earnest, intelligent, and public-spirited body of men, these rangers. Though small in number, their influence is large. Many and long are the duties heaped upon their shoulders. If a trail is to be blazed, it is “send a ranger.” If an animal is floundering in the snow, a ranger is sent to pull them out;  if a bear is in the hotel, if a fire threatens a forest, if someone is to be saved, it is “send a ranger.”   If a Dude wants to know the why, if a Sagebrushes is puzzled about a road it is “ask the ranger.” Everything the ranger knows, she will tell you, except about herself. “Oh, Ranger!” now tells you about herself.
