this work Of voting for alderman and
common councilmen, and sheriffs and
constables, and mayors and presidents!
To make one such grand woman as I
have described, how many thousands
would you want of those people who go
in the round of fashion and dissipation,
distorting their bodies until in their
monstrosities they seem to Guido the
dromedary and hippopotanus! going as
far toward d~isgraceful apparel as they
go, SO as not to be arrested by the police
their behavior a sorrow to the good
and a caricature to the vicious, and an
insult to that God who made them Wo-
men and not gorgeous; and tramping on
down through a frivolous and d~issipated
life, to temporal and eternal damnation.

A county editor being asked, "Do hogs
pay?" says a great many do not. They
take the paper several years, and then
have the postmaster send it back IRE

The economical editor informs his con
tributors that they must write "only on
one side Of the sheet" By this means
he acquires an unfailing supply of copy
paper for his own use.
An attorney, on being called to ac-
count for having acted unprofessionally
in taking less than the usual fees from
his client, pleaded that he had taken all
the man had. He was thereupon hon
orably acquitted.

The Grandeur Of Woman.

When you want to get the grandest
idea Of a queen, you do not think Of
Catherine OF Russia, or Of Anne Of En-
gland, or of Maria Theresa of Germany;
bat when you want to get your grandest
idea of a queen, you think of the plain
woman who sat opposite your father at
the table, or walked with him arm in
arm down life's pathway; sometimes to
the Thanksgiving banquet, sometimes to
the grave, but always together-sooth-
ing your petty griefs, correcting your
childish WayWardness, joining in your
i~nfantile sports, listening to your even
ing prayers, toiling for you with needle
or at the spinning-wheel, and on cold
nights wrapping you up snug and warm.
And then, at last, on that day when she
lay in that back room dying, and you
saw her take those thin hands with
which she toiled for you SO long, and
put them together in a dying prayer
that commended you to God whom she
had taught you to trust-Oh! she was
the queen! The chariots OF God am
down to fetch her; and as she went in,
all heaven rose up. You canno think
of her now without a rush Of tenderness
that stirs the deep foundations of your
soul, and you feel as much a child as
when you cried on her lap; and if you
could bring her back again to speak
once more your name as tenderly as she
used to speak it, you would be willing
to throw yourself on the ground and kiss
the sod that covers her, crying: Moth
er, mother.u All! she was the queen.
Now can you tell me how many thous-
and miles a'woman like that would have
to travel down before she got to the bal
lot-box? Compared with this work of
training kings and queens for God and
eternity, how insignificant seems all Of

HE HAD HIM THERE.
Mew Wood Riverite Got the Best Of q
Resident Of Utah.

The press of Utah has intimated in
jocular way, that the press of Wood
River At times diverged from the facts
in mentioning the beauties of this eli
mate and the richness and number Of
the mines, and that the residents Of
Wood River generally were slightly
inclined that way from the very great
altitude which quite naturally incites
to lofty sentiments, quickens the pull
sations of the heart, and creates in the
mind ideas far above the average of
residents on the lake shore.
1t was from these causes that Jimmy
Morrison, Of Salt Lake, recently got
whack that caused him to realize
that the impulsive variations of Wood
riverites caused by all over-inhalation
of ozone are more honest than the
studied evasions of the lower country.
Jimmy Morrison is well know as an
old prospector and very good fellow
who can readily make himself believe
what he doesn't know, but is the most
easily convinced man in Utah, and,
with the perception of an attorney,
can see both sides of any case and was
therefore an old-time witness whose
services were in demand, as whoever
needed to prove proposition could
do SO if Jimmy could be got on the
witness stand and made to see the
case as the attorney saw it.
Jimmy had just been witness in
an assessment suit for mine in Par
ley's Park, and, to the establishment
of the prosecution, had asserted that
certain shaft was 80 feet deep.
Meeting Tommy, just from Wood
River, in Salt Lake courtroom, he
sang out: "Hello! Tommy; l hear
the air up at Wood River is SO light
that it takes two men to tell the truth"
Tommy replied, in loud voice:
"Give it up! But they tell me the air
out at Park City is lighter, and man
can lower himself down into a 9O-foot
shaft with 6O-foot rope, and have
two turns left on the windlass."
The bar-keeper was busy, just 20
minutes after that.

THE JAPAN NINE.
4 Property that Is Undoubtedly Very
Valuable.

Judge J. r. Mcbride, of this city,
over one year ago purchased of John
e. Young the Japan mine, located
near Haley, Idaho. About the time
of the purchase, c. b. Fox, of Haley,
brought suit against Young for the
purpose Of getting deed to portion
of the property, which had once been
sold to him and then purchased back.
After Judge Mcbride had bought and
paid for the claim, he brought suit
against c. B. Fox to quiet title to the
property. On October 2d Judge
Pickett decided both cases, the first
for defendant and the other for plain.
tiff, thus placing Judge Mcbride in
full possession of the mine, which is
said to be a good property.-Salt Lake
Tribune.
The Japan mine is located ON the
westerly slope of Carbonate hill, about
. quarter of mile from Haley. 1t
has , shaft about 20 feet deep and a
number of open cuts exposing the
course of the vein for length of sew
eral hundred feet. The shaft shows
. width OF three feet of grained
galena with copper glance CARRYING
an average of 200 ounces of silver.
Ore is found in all the openings or
cuts made along the ledge. 1t is an
exceedingly promising property, and
now that the question of title is set
tied it will doubtless be opened in a
systematic manner.

Is it the man who daily wakes from rest

reckless living; or he whose sound body

throughout her faultless form, mantling
her cheeks with rosy hue, moistening her
