An Eyentful Day.

The Sd of September, like the 18th Of
June and the 4th of July, seems to be
one of those days which history has set
apart fof great occasions. On it occur
red the two bloodiest Of the countless
massacres which have stained the annals
Of France. On it Napoleon received one
OF his eeverest defeats in 1918. On it
the Gar Nicholas took step which
made the Crimean war q certainty, and
the great convulsion that overthrow the
Second Empire broke out in Paris. But
it's Most fomautic associations are those
connected with Oliver Cromwell. 1t was
the day OF his birth and of several OF bis
earlier successes. It was the day of his
great victory over the Scots at Dun
bar, and his browning triumph over
Charles II. at Worcester; and as if to
point more fully the tragic moral OF the
story, it was, also, the day of his death.

MORMON MALEDICTIoN.
a Funeral Sermon with a Tragic
Ending.
Special to the Chicago Tribune.

Special to the Chicago Tribune.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Feb'y IS
There was tragic scene witnessed
here to day at the Fourteenth ward
Assembly rooms. The occasion
was the funeral services of a young
man named Cain. He was the son
of a former influential Mormon who
possessed very valuable property in
the center of the city, but was
cheated out of his possessions by
Brigham Young during his tyran
nical reign. At the fathers death
young Cain sued for his inheritance
and succeeded in securing many
rights. AT the same time he apos
tatized from the Mormon faith. He
was young and very popular here,
and had no faults save intemper
ance. Recently he Wis ted bis sis
ter at Coalyille, and while there con,
trscted typhoid fever, which, in the
end. proved fatal. His remains
were brought to this city, and his
mother still an adherent to Nor
mon tenets, insisted on his burial
by the church. John Taylor, pres
ident of the church, ofiiciated. He
made some fitting remarks, and
then said: "But let us return to the
young man. Was he a saintp No.
He was once a saint, but departed
from the church. He left the faith
Did he die a saintp No; he died a
and will find a drunk
ards grave. He has gone to hell,
and there is where he deserved to
CO." With one wild shrek the
mother screamed: "My God, my
God, my only son, and to think his
only fault should thus be made
publicp and tainted. The sister,
overcome with grief, did likewise.
They were taken home, and have
since been uLder the care of a ply
sician. The course of Taylor is
accounted for by his desire to stop
apostatlzing by young Mormons,
but it is condemned here by all save
fanatics.

The Things in the Bottom Drawer.

There are whips and tops and pieces of ofstrings,
There are shoes which no little feet wear,
There are bits of ribbon and broken rings,
And tresses of golden hair.
There are little dresses folded away
Out of the light OF the sunny day.
There are dainty jackets that never are worn,
There are toys and models of ships,
There are books and pictures all faded and
torn,
And marked by the finger tips
OF dimpled hands that have fallen to dust, ,
Yet l strive to think that the Lord is just.
Bus feeling of bitterness fills my soul
Sometimes, when try TO pray,
That the reaper has spared so many flowers
And taken mine away.
And / almost doubt ii the Lord can know
That mothers heart can love them 80.
Then l think of the many weary ones
Who are waiting and watching tonight
For the slow return of faltering feet
That have strayed from the paths of right;
Who have Garkened their lives by shame and
SIN,
Whom the snsres of the tempter have gath
cred in.
They wander far in distant climes,
They perish by fire and flood,
And their hands are black with the dIrest
crimes
That kindled the wrath of God.
Yet a mothers song has soothed them to rest,
She hath lu,led them to slumber upon her
breast.
And then think of nv children three,
My babes that never grow old,
And know they are waiting and watching
for me,
II the city with the streets of gold,
Safe, safe from the cares of the weary years,
From sorrow, and sin, and war,
And thank my God with faltering tears
For the things in the bottom drawer.

Will He Succeed7

In nine cases out of ten, a mans
life will not be a success IL he does
not bear burdens in childhood. IL
the fondness or the vanity OF father
or mother has kept him from hard
work; if another always helped him
out at the end OF his row; il instead
of taking his turn at pitching off he
slowed away all the time-in short,
# what was light fell TO him, and
what was heavy about the work to
some one else; il he has been per-
mitted to shirk, until shirking has
become a habit, unless miracle
has been wrought, his life will te a
failure, and the blame will not be
half SO much his as that of his weak
and foolish parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has
been brought mp 70 do his part

is responsible for this capital imi-

witness:
Odd you say to your wife at

of May, 1866, that you did not ap
prove of the mode In which the
eggs were scrambled?
Al do not recollect to have
said so.
Q.-Do you recollect that you did
not say so?
Al cannot say that l so recol-
lect.
Q.-H you did make such a com
ment did you mean to indicate to
your wife that in the future eggs
must be cooked in some other way
than scrambled
Al do not recollect that IN
Gicated or intended to indicate any
thing of the sort.
Q.-Do 1 understand you to say
that you did not so intend?
Any impression is that L did
not so intend, for | remember that
1 liked eggs cooked in that way.
Q-Then you do not recollect
that you indicated to her that it
was your desire to have them al
ways so cooked2
Al do not recollect that so

Q.-Do you remember that you
did not SO indicate?
Al do not remember whether
did or not.
Q.-Then you do not remember
what you indicated on this subject?
Al do not

you say that you do not recollect
that you did design on that occa-
sian to indicate to your wife that
you preferred expressly preferred

you did not like them fried?

quest you not 10 interpolate words

Fruit of Drinking.

A friend of mine, seeking for OBJ
jects OF charity, got into the upper
room of a tenement house. 1t was
vacant. He saw a ladder pushed
through the ceiling. Thinking that
perhaps some poor creature had
crept up there, he climbed the lad
der, drew himself through the hole,
and found himself under the raf-
Jers. There was no light but that
which came through a bulls eye In
place of a tile. Soon he saw a
heap of chips and shavings, and on
them a boy about ten years old.
boy, what are you doing up
here?"
Hush! Don't tell anybody
please, SIR"
What are you doing here?"
Don't tell anybody, sir-Pm a

"Who are you hiding from?"
Don't tell anybody, ifyou please,
sir"
where's your mother?"
Mothers dead"
where's your father?"
Hush! don't tell him, don't tell
him but look herer'
He turned himself on his face,
and through the rags of his jacket
and shirt, my friend saw that the
boys flesh was bruised, and his
skin was broken.
why, my boy, who beat you
ike that?"
"Father did, sirr'
"What he beat you like that

"Father got drunk, sir, and beat
me 'cos wouldn't steal"
Did you ever steal?'
"Ies, sir. l was a street thiei
oncer'
"And why don't you steal any
more?"
"Please, sir, | went to the mis-
sion school, and they told me there
of God, and of heaven, and oi
Jesus; and they taught me, Thou
! shalt not steal and I'll never stea
