GENTLE RULE. - The Mormons OF
Tooele county are so we'll pleased with
the administration Of public affairs there
that many or them have already declared
for the reelection OF the present county
officials. They say that never before
have public Improvements been made in
an honest, business-like manner; never
before have the people been invited to
know how their money was being ex-
pended, or were even allowed to examine
the public records. OF course they are
only just beginning to learn that these
are rights which every American citizen
is entitled to, and are accorded to all out
side of Utah. After a few years of hon.
est Gentle rule in Tooele county. the
Mormon portion OF the community will
become 80 thoroughly Americanized that
it will be impossible for the priesthood
to misgovern them. or in the least way
control civil affairs there. In short. the
union of Church and Staten that county
is effeotually, and, let US trust, forever
broken, as is evinced by the conviction
on the part of the Mormons that the
supremacy of Gentle rule does not
mean the determination Of Mormons.

A Dead Man Comes to Life and Drives
His Sister Crazy.

Such is the story which comes from
Indiana Charles Hueston, OF Monroe
vile, was attacked with congestion of
the lungs, the other day, and. after two
hours of unconsciousness was pronouced
dead. His relatives were summoned
from Forest, Ohio, and the remains were
placed on board q train for removal to
the latter place. his sister insisting upon
riding in the express car, to be close to
the body of him she loved. 1t was near
ly an hour before the train arrived at
Forest, when loud, unearthly shrek
was heard, and in second the young
girl was PROSTATE upon the floor in
swoou. Several persons FASTENED to her
rescue, when they, too, were nearly para
lyzed at the discovery of the cause of her
singular conduct. The supposed corpse
of Charles Houston was living, moving
and breathing. This head was thrust
above the coffin. and the face. with it's
deadly pallor, presented weird and
CHASTITY spectacle. The young man was
evidently amazed at his surroundings.
and the first returning CLEANS OF con-
sciousness found him in position of be-
wilderment. Hueston was taken from
his coffin, restoratives applied under the
direction Of physicians who were on the
train, and, when he reached Forest, he
was removed to his fathers residence.
At last accounts he was olive, and,
although very i'll, was improving some
what and hope was entertained that he
will completely recover. But his sister
has not had one moment of conscious
ness since the wild shrek which she
gave in the car at the dreadful spectacle
which met her eyes. and it is feared that
her reason is permanently dethroned by
the shock.

Relics Of the Pilgrim Fathers.
From the Boston Globe.

The following relics OF the first settle
ment of the colony have been temporarily
deposited in Pilgrim Hall at Plymouth,
and prove great addition to the already
large collection of distinctively pilgrim
relics in that place: A cradle belonging
to Governor Edward Wnslow, two pew
ter platters and mortar Of bell metal
with an iron pestle, all of the same own
ership. The cradle is of basket work,
wrought in an elaborate pattern. is some
what shorter than those of q later date
and bears marks OF constant usage. 1t
derives additional interest from the fact
that Peregrine White, the first white
child born in the colony, was rocked in
it. His birth. which took place in the
latter part Of November, 1920, on board
the Mayfowsr. in Cape God harbor, was
shortly followed by the death of his
father in the early part of162l, and his
mother, Susanna White, was married to
Governor Wiuslow on the 18th of May,
1921. The large pewter platter is twenty
two and one-half inches in diam eter, and
is stamped with the name OF Slackman,
of London, as maker. The smaller is
twenty inches in diameter, and bears the
imprint Of John Shorey, also of London.
The mortar is Of bell metal. surrounded
by rows of gsrgoyles and ornamental
work. The articles were in the pos
session of Miss Jane Sever, of Kings
ton, recently deceased.
