She Wanted TO be Polite.

A good story is told of DIR. Y, who

female wards of one of our best.
known charitable institutions. One
evening about 8 o'clock Mary, a new
Irish servant girl, knocked at his
door, saying:
"Docthor, the head nurse wants you
to come down to supper"
The doctor, swelling in his pride of
superiority above the nurses, sent the
Irish girl to an unnamed place. Half
an hour late the head nurse came to
his room, looking very serious.

bad, indeed. 1 think you ought to
see her at once"
"Why did you not let me know
before :" was the reply.
why, doctor, said the nurse, Il
sent you word by Mary half an
hour ago"
"The fcol!" said the doctor, ''she
told me to come down to supper"
why" said the nurse. L sent
you word to come down 10 eight.
An inquiry made the whole thing
clear. Mary thought it more polite

Salt Lake.

Salt Lake is about one hundred miles
long and its greatest width is fifty miles.
The average depth is forty feet and
soundings have nowhere reached be.
yond ninety feet. The bottom is hard
white sand with very gradually shelly
ing shore, and so far rs is known no
form of animal or vegetable life exists
in the water, which is wonderfully clear,
the white sand being easily visible where
the depth is over twenty feet. There
are several islands in the lake and all
are mountainous, although some have
some good farming land between the
peaks. The two islands nearest to the
city are Church Island, so called from
its form, and Kimball Island, named af-
ter prominent light of the Latter Day
Saints. The former is farmed but the
latter is the haunt of sea gulls, which,
during the fall, come here to breed.
They make the journey from the Pacific
coast in about two days, the distance being
fully eight hundred miles. They live while
raising their young, upon worms and in.
sects, and do not suffer from the loss OF
their usual fish diet. 1t is amusing to
see them sailing about looking sadly at
the water, which they know by bitter
experience is cruel disappointment,
but never venturing to insert their bills
in it. The young birds, and even some
of the older ones, are quite tame, and
come at the call of the saloon-keeper to
be fed. When the old birds think that
their offspring are strong enough for the
long flight they give the signal for a
start and, after circling for moment
or two, bend their course due west and
are seen no more till the next year.
There is Territorial law against the
destruction of these birds, and they
seem to be perfectly aware OF their
safety.
In winter the storms upon the lake
are often heavy, but there is no mercan-
tile navigation, and the yachts, of which
there are a good many belonging to
wealthy Salt Lakers, are safely housed.

From Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE Ky, juno IL, 1904
Ed. FREE PREss.-I have been in
Bewbyville and neighboring towns
for past month and have had several
talks with the farmers. 1 am now on
the stock farm of Williams & Cone,
known as Basin Springs Stock Farm,
and it is considered the besti in Brock
enridge Co. Among their herd they
have the well-known stallion "Lenox
Cuylcr." They also have the "Frank
jack" and the short-horn bull "Regi-
nald" on their farm.
Corn was late in planting and came
up poorly, probably owing to ants
and worms. Weather has been fay
orable however to the working of the
crop, which we think would put the
present condition at ninety per cent.
About the average amount of wheat
was sown, but has suffered badly from
winter freezing and from fly. What
is left has very short heads and being
thin on the ground it is doubtful if it
even makes rs per cent Of crop.
Tobacco would not put present
condition at over 80. These figures
are the average made from the esti-
mate of six or eight Of our bost far
mers.
Although we had severe winter
our stock passed through it well, as
we had plenty of feed, which kept
them in good condition to go on grass
even though it was late. The quality
of cattle, horses and sheep, as regards
breeding and blood, has been greatly
improved in the past few years by
the introduction Of thoroughbred and
blooded animals The improvement
in this regard has been at least SO per
cent. A large proportion of our
sheep have been affected with scab
during the past winter and spring,
which required early shearing. Cho!-
era in hogs has been quite severe,
and when it took bunch it very
rarely left many if any. Some men
have lost all the way from so to rs,
out of punches of 60 to 80 head. The
weather for the past few days has
been rainy and at times quite cool,
in fact little too cool for the season.
It will seem queer to some OF your
many readers, but I have worn an
overcoat and felt comfortable in it as
late as 10th of June. We have cave
on the farm, and also spring which
sinks into the ground about $50 yds.,
from the place it comes out of the
rock. The water runs winter and
summer, and in the heat of summer
is as cold as ice water. Another Gu
riosity on the farm is q or . gully like
excavations with depth of from 6 to
20 feet. A person standing on the
brink of one of these can plainly hear
the waters rumbling along as if pass
ing from one ledge of rock to anoth
or, but no water can be seen.
We have just had circus in town,
it was the first that has visited the
town for some seven years, and it is
estimated that from 100 to 1000
people were present. They came
throughout the entire country in n
circle of Is or 20 miles. 1, myself
coming s miles to witness the show.
In my next letter l will write you
more about the people and the coun-
try. w. L. G..
