Who am L, Anyway ?"

A short time ago, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, bright looking Danish boy
stepped into a lawyers office, and
said :
L want you to tell me who | am, ,
laying a IS bill on the desk at the same
time.
The lawyer, peeping alternately at
the boys and at the S. bill, shaking his
head, replied:
1t seems you are funny boy
Not funny at all. You will fad it
a very serious matter.
We'll, 90 ahead and explain it,
About twenty years ago wealthy
Danish lady, being widow, came over
10 this couptrY with her two daughters.
There was a Norwegian and his boy.
The father married The Widows daugh-
ters. One year after, the Nora egian's
boy, aud, if am sure, ain sure, am
that boy. The Norwegian's boy died.
The DANISH widow agsin, but the old
Nora esiau married ner too. After
that The old lady died, and one year
ago the old gentleman, too, after he had
made himself the owner of the third
wiie's property. Now, when | claimed
that property, my sister said Stop,
you can't be the heir at all You are
our late husbands grandchild. BY her
marriage with him you became your
mothers grandchild, too, and after she
died we became your mothers, and sou
never can inherit the property before
we are dead. That's what my sister
molher's say, but think that can't BE-
right, aud there must be some mistake
n polygamy. Now, sir, please to tell
me what l aw-who l am
The lawyer, thrusting his chin into
his neck, answered patheiically, y ou

His Rich Joke.


The other day a baggage wagon
brought a trunk to the Union depot
which was labeled:
Dynamite within-smash II you
dare y
Tue trunk was closely followed bya
young man who had about seven min
utes to get his check and catch the
train. When he presented his ticket
and asked for check the baggage mas
ter replied:
This trunk can't go as baggage
'WhyT
The contents are dangerous. You'll
have to remove it from here at once or
I'll make you trouble
But there is no dynamite within
There is the warnlng.'
Yes, but that was Tor joke on the
baggage smashers.'
Young man, a railroad never jokes.
Get that trunk o1t Of here y
Come, old fellow, 1t was only IN tuu,'
eutreated the smart Aleck' i have
only four minutes to catch the train.'
IF sou do not remove the dangerous
trunk 1 shall haye to call an officer
was the frm reply.
4 tell you il is not dangerous
Let me inspect it,
This was grudgingly acceded to, and
nothing more dangerous than four
shirts which SADLY needed washing was
discovered. By this time the tram had
departed, leaving the joker with eight
hours on his hands, and as the trunk
was relocksd he was handed a scraper
aad the advice:
Young man. 1t might be sale Tor you
to label yourself with something like:
'Perishabe-no delay You are eyl-
dsntly too ripe for this section. Now

Pearls OF Thought.

Advice Is seldom welcome. Those
Who need it most take i. least.
As every thread of gold is valuable,
20 is every minute Of time.
Prosperity is no just scale; adversely
is the only balance to weigh friends.
TIE more we do, the more we can
do; tie more busy We are, the more
leisure we bave.
Knavery is supple, and can bend,
but honesty Is firm and upright and
yields not.
No principle is more noble, as there
is none more holy, than tnat OF true
obedience.
He who is the most slow in making
a promise is the most faithful in the
performance it.
Never let your zeal outrun your
charity. The former is but human,
the latter is divine.
Duty cannot be neglected. "lthou'
harm 10 those who practice as we'll as
10 those who suffer the neglect.
Precept IS instruction that Is written
In sand, and washed away by the tide
example is in stfuction engraved on the
rock.
Whoever has a contented mind has
all riches. To him whose loot Is en-
closed IN shoe, is 1t not as though The
earth were carpeted with leathers
Try to repIess thought, and it is like
trying 10 fasten down sIeam-an ex'
plosion is sure 20 lollom. Let thought
be free to work in its own appropriate
way, aud it turns the machine, drives
The wheels, does the work.

The April Atlantic opens with the first in
stallment of Henry James's Daisy Miller, not
the story of that name which everybody has
read, but dramatlzation of it, with new
characters and scenes, adding attractions
which will make it quite worth while for all
to read 1t who have read the story as well as
for those who have not read it. This is fol
lowed by Pillow-Smoothing Authors, an es-

on Night Caps, and comments on an old
