FIRST FOOTSTEPS.
Swtnburne.

A little way, more soft and sweet
Than fields afiower with May,
A babes feet, ventlring, scarce complete
A little way.
Eyes full Of dawning day
Look up for mothers eyes to meet,
Too blithe for song to say.
Glad as the golden spring to greet
Its first live leaflets play,
Love, laughing, leads the little feet
A little way.

HAVE YOU NOTICED

The regularity with which
all merchants announce
every season that they have
the Largest, Best, Finest
and Cheapest Stocks in their
line of business We don't
propose making any such
assertion, but will merely
say why we DO propose sell
ing you clothing for as near
fair exchange value as posi-
BILE to be done. BY buying
only for cash we are enabled
to secure all goods at the
lowest prices possible, and
by DOING a cash business and
avoiding all unnecessary ex-
pense, we can sell them for
correspondingly low prices.
Ever since the busy spring
season we have employed
our entire force in getting
ready for sale a stock of
clothing which, we think,
comes as near perfect Ready
made Clothing as it is posi-
Bile to find, so that when
trade commences in custom
work we still have the same
force of workmen ON whom
we can depend and rely for
good work done promptly.
Our stock comprises every
style of suit or overcoat for
men, youth, boys and
children, and we only ask a
trial to be able toplease you.

Papa and sssramma."

Notes and Queries.
An early instance which occurs to me
ID in the "Beggar's Opera" (1727,)
where Polly Peschum, think it is,
speaks OF papa" The modern change
from "papa" and "mamma" to Gather"
aud "mother" among the upper classes.
which began about 30 years ago, seems
to have been reaction against custom
which had gradually crept in among per-
sons OF lower grade. As soon IS COM
mon peoples children began to say
papa" and ''mamma," those of higher
class we're taught to say father" and
''mother." 1t was among my high-churoh
friends that first noticed this adoption
of Gather" and "mother." One does
not zee the connection, but truly such is
the fact. When | was young "papa"
aud "msmma" were universal among
what may be called the middle and upper
GLASSES Of society, and to this day
"ladies of a certain age" still use
the words. King George I'LL, about
the year 1902, addressed his mother as
mamma p so find it stated in "Gran-
Vile Memoirs" But do not think tina,
Charles H., unless he was speaking in
French, ever addressed Henrietta Maria
by that endesrins mans, and | feel
tolersbly sure that the Lady Elizabeth
never called Henry VIII. "pspa." Or
the other hand, would observe thai
papa" and "mamms' are fast being
supplapted by the old original Gather
and "mother, For 10, or perhaps TO,
| 20 years. past, children in the upper anc
| middle classes have, so far as my obser
vstion goes, been taught to say father
and mother p and ''papa" and imam
ma, which are words of extremes
tenderness to those of my generation
seem now to have sunk into contempt q
note OF social inferiority.

associated Press Dispatch by special Wires.
SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH, Oct. 6,-The
fitty-third semi-snnual conference of the
Mormon church met in this city yester.
day, sessions being held both in the
morning and afternoon. The morning
session was addressed by "Apostles"
Taylor, Young and Grant.
John Taylor, president OF the Church,
was the first speaker. He gave descrip-
tion OF the Church, its officers and their
duties. He said that the latter were
agents of God on earth to carry out His
works and that God would sust ain His
people and Zion would grow and reign
| forever.
Herbert |. Grant, one of the new apos-
| ties appointed last year, followed Mr..
Taylor and zeslously advocated polygamy
aud title paying. He said tia; after the
psssaee OF the Edmunds bill, polyga-
mists protesting to be good Latter
Day Saints had pat away their
wives mud sent them TO theii
motntrs NJ. had sn utter con Tempt fol
sveh met. H. had more Iesl get Tor Con
tiles or MethodiBts, avowed enc mics, thar
he had for Latter Day Saints frightened
by law paased by Congress.
Brigham Young, Jr., followed. H.
said that the powers OF darkness wer.
strengthe ing . overthrow the church o
God tuat there never was a time wher
they needed the power of the spirit e.
much, hut that no power of earth coult
overthrow the saints and that strOnge
revelations than those they had received
were yet to come.
| George Q. Cannon spoke in she sam
strain and said that nothing but tn
spirit OF God WAS sufficient to give then
wisdom to guide them. God had rescue,
them from impending danger severa
times within the past six months. II
spoke of the growth of the Church an
said that several temples were being bull
iu the Territory and that God was pre-
viding plans to preserve the saints.
Apostle Snow said that all the power
of heaven and hell could not prevail
against the saints, ard that they woul
go on prospecting.
The attendance is large and the meet
ings show the determination OF til
Church to stand by polygsmy.

, was the tiist to Send his wives away all

IN THE FALL.

Oh, autumn, with thy dying smell,
SO faint, so sad, and yet 80 sweet;
Amid the strewings at my feet,
By pattering nut and broken shell,
l feel the secret of thy spell,
The flying year in full retreat
For ever.
Pale, like the fading forest hair,
The slanting sunbeams struggle through ;
The sky is of a fearful blue,
A pensive essence fills the air,
And, with pathetic sweetness fair,
The wan world seems to wave adieu-
For ever.
The cattle browse along the lea;
The piping Robin haunts the lanes,
Tho yellow turning woodland ''wanes;"
The apple tumbles from the tree;
And autumn, ranging through, links me
To Nature.

A New Break fast Dish with "a Moral.

n new brehhiast DISH WIN mOrHi-
The Boston Traveller tells OF an aoquain-
lance who has fondness for cooking and
q frugal wife. A few nights since, his
spouse, on retiring, reminded him that
he must the next morning "fry the cold
potatoes left over, slice them, you know,
take what was left of the fried halibut
and the scraps of salt pork and We will
eat up everything clean" Well, the
next morning he was on duty early. The
cold potatoes were sliced according to
Taft'a rule, the cold halibut finely cut up
with fork, the scraps of pork gathered
aud all put into spider for fry.
Happening to pass through the pantry
he discovered on the shelf several slices
of stale bakers bread. These he thought
he could utilize, but how An idea
seized him. He broke the slices into
crumbs, soaked them in milk, aud then
dumped it ih with the preparation in the
| spider; little more moistening being
| necessary, he opened can OF fresh milk
and poured in teacupful, then took a
| fork and made mush of the whole and
| left it to simmer and Try. The wife and
| the daughter were notified that breakfast
| was ready. The wife came down and
| superintendsd the srI angements OF the
| table. One dish after another was placed
| when at last she discovered this particular
ons. What have you theref" sht
asked of her husband. "Oh, that is Rex
Msgnus-ion't you know, | brought
home box last night" The trio sa
down, and the mysterious dish WA
uncovered. 1t looked inviting, and tn,
wife and daughter were helped. sob,
said the daughter, ''papa, this is a clan
ritter" The wife said it WAS delicious
After she supply was exhausted and tn
dish fully enjoyed the wife asks: "Bu
where are the cold potatoes and the triet
halibut you were to have ?" "You hav
Just eaten them with those four slices G
stale bread you had forgotten to mention.

Burton made up her mindit should wait
It had been dismal day, and Nature,
after crying her eyes ont, was sobbing
herself to sleep at last in the DRILLING
twilight, as Aunt Prim and hel visitor
sat in the freight waiting the prodigal's
return.
Two months 1t might have been two
years since that lucky night Miss Burton
watching the girl as she sat at the win
dow with her eyes on the darkening
road, wondered how she would ever
manage without her-how Jack would
ever manage without her, should she
take a notion to grow restless and hail
another stage coach for that school among
the hills.
Aunt Prim need not have bothered, for
the girl was gay, self-satisied little
creature, like most things that came in
her way, and among them Jack and his
dimple. AS to Aunt Prim-she simply
adored Aunt Prim.
Young and pink and velvety-that
was Mics Paulina Davis-with braids and
braids Of copper-gilt hair, and fresh,
fearless voice that loved to hear itself
sing. She was singing as she sat there
in the twilight, singing in low, conf.
dental fashion that ought to have put
Aunt Prim to sleep, as usual, except fol-
what was it that shocked her into con.
seriousness again
"A-sailin, a-sailing, my love has gone
a."
"Don't, my DEAR cried Aunt Prim
wistiully. SIT sounds pretty, but they
