StringfOWn.

A Mormon settlement in Idaho is five
miles long, extending from Clifton to Ok
ford 1t is called Stringtown, and the
homesteads are SO taken up that the resi-
dences of the homesteaders are within 800
feet of each other, and the farms are mere
strips of land from $50 to 300 feet in width.
This land was taken up in this manner to
give every settler frontage on. the public
road.

Timely Warning.

A small boy was recently discovered
purloining some apples from the front of a
grocery store. The proprietor gave chase,
but failed to overtake him, and he was
obliged to shake his fist and shout after
him:
"Never mind, my young kid, I'm going
up to see your mother about this"
''That's all right" yelled back the small
boy, "you just 60 right along up there. Pa
filled man full of buckshot the other day
for going to see my ma, and | reckon he's
got another dose laid away somewhere for
youn

Apples.

A gentleman who has practiced during
several years the plan of keeping apples in
dry sand, poured into the filled barrels or
bins after storing in the cellar, finds it a
decided improvement on any plan ever,
tried, the fruit remaining till late in the
spring as crisp and apparently as fresh as
when first gathered. He does likewise
with potatoes, and uses the same sand
year after year. This is an inexpensive
method and deserves trial.

Reason for Reduction,

Il believe I'll have to reduce your
wages, John" said miserly employer to
one of his help the other day.
What for ?" was the query.
Because things are coming down, the
necessaries of life are cheaper, and you can
afford to get along on smaller pay"
Il should like to know what necessaries
of life are cheaper" said John, "beef is as
high as ever, -four hasn't dropped cent,
and coal is as dear as ever"
WELL said the employer as he turned
away, 'at any rate the price of postage
stamps has been reduced one third"

A beggar stretching empty palms,
Painting and fast-sick, in the name
Ofthe Most Holy asking aims.
And the monk answered. "All have

The silver cup my mother gave;
In Christ's name take thou it, and live.
Years passed. and called at last to bear
The pastoral crook and keys of Rome,
The poor monk, in st. Peters chair,
sat the crowned lord of Christendom.
Prepare feast" St. Gregory cried,
And let twelve beggars sit thereat."
The beggars came and one beside,
An unknown stranger, with them sat-
j asked thee not" the Pontiff spake,
20 stranger; but if need be thine,
bid thee welcome, for the sake
OF Him who is thy Lord and mine
A grave calm face the stranger raised,
Like His who on Gennesaret trod,
Or His on whom the Chaldeans gazed,
Whose form was as the Son of God.
Know st thou" he said, thy gift of old?"
And in the hand he lifted up
The Pontiff marve1ed to behold
Once more his mothers silver cup.
Thy prayers and aims have risen, and bloom
Sweetly among the flowers of heaven.

Whate'e er thou askest shall be given"

With his twelve guests in mute accord
Prone on their faces, knowing well
Their eyes of flesh had seen the Lord.

Are the Louisiana Lottery Draw
ihSs Fair.

The two commissioners who superin-
tend their single number drawings,
when interviewed on the subject, re-
luctantly admitted that the numbers
which We're placed in the tubes and put
in the wheel where only counted twice a
year. They draw the lottery every
month. Is not this bare faced fraud ?
Their excuse is that it would take ten
days labor, with four assistants. How,
then, can any ticket. buyer in this lot
terry know that the number ON his
ticket has a corresponding number in
the wheel? If they desire an honest
drawing, why do they not, on the day
of and just before their drawings, allow
the ticket-hoder the privilege of calling
out his number and see that it is placed
in the wheel 40 he then can have some
chance of its being drawn out with a
prize from the other wheel" Other
lotteries have done so. Under their
system, why don't they make their
capital 81 100000 They might as well.
Is not the published list of winners in
their lottery also a fraud? 1t is very
easy for a few dollars to get persons
who are willing 10 let them use their
names as the holders Of big prize. Is
it any longer wonder how they con-
trolled the Louisian Constitutional Con-
vention, courts, and legislatures and a
former office administration Tn
der this system of drawings, it will be
no trouble TO make money enough to
control and run our very government

Interesting Exercises at No. 4
SchO1l this MOrmluY,


The closing exercises of No. 4 school
took place this morning, and the exer
cises were very interesting. A large
number of visitors and several members
Of the Board of Education were present.
The exercises opened in Miss Lizzie
VanTrunp's room, and consisted of re-
citations, select reading, etc. The pu.
pills answered number of questions in
geography; James Murphey and James
Mulshenock told how Colum bus discov-
cred America, and Joseph Rebman de-
livered a recitation, entitled The Old
Man in the Woods"
In Miss Bye's room there were spell
ing exercises and recitations by Morris
Canary and Homer Barry. In the for
mer the boys showed good training
and were able to spell rapidly and cor
rectly.
In Mise Conner's room the scholars
showed their proficiency in grammar,
and Walter Mendenhall recited "John-
MES Opinion of Grandmothers. Miss
Wets' scholars did remarkably we'll in
an arithmetical exercise, and the class
recited," "Charge Of the Light Brigade"
in good STYLE Eddie Gallaher read
composi'io on "The OWL" which was
highly appreciated, and John Ruth
read a choice selection.
In the above rooms the program was
cut short in order to give the most of the
time to Miss Coyle's scholars, who had
been under training for some time, and
the program rendered was certainly
very fine, and fully demonstrated the
fact that tn, boys were as competent to
sing as the girls. Prof. Rhoades had
charge of this part of the program and
the boys acquitted themselves with
great credit to all concerned.
The following program was given -
Singing in the School ROOM" by the
school recitation by the school ;" The

by the school ; recitation by Charles
Bower, " Good for Evil;" Whistling
Farmer Boy" by the school :" Jacks

ELECTED much praise, particularly the
latter piece, which was quite interest
ing and the singing by the boys was
simply immense.
President Baird, DR.. Keables, Mes
srs. Sample and Reeve from the Board
Of Education, delivered addresses and
were presented with handsome bou-
qnets. Miss Francis, the princi al of

her class a half dozen silver nut picks,
encased in a handsome ease, for
which both teachers returned their
heartfelt thanks.
In the girls department, the scholars

rection of Prof Rhoades, the scholars
acquitted themselves nobly. Altogeth-
