McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-12-11

In Arizona three convicted Nor
mon polygamisls have been fined $500
each and sentenced to three and a
half years In the house of correction
at Detroit. Two bishops were fined
the same amount and ordered to Yu-
ma penitentiary for six months. This
looks like business, and if it can be
kept up the United States will have
to increase the number of It's houses
of correction. An Arizona judge and
jury ought to be imported into Utah.
McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-12-11

THE greatest social sensation that
has occurred in Washington for years
was the elopement of Mary Willard,
the daughter of an army officer of that
city, with William Paxton, a patent
lawyer. Miss Willard was engaged
to a wealthy young man Of Kansas
City named Frank Simpson, and ar
engagements for wedding, for which
1900 invitations had been issued,
were about complete. The tickle Ma
ry vouchsafed no explanation to her
affianced, nor asked to be released,
but simply married another man
quietly and fed.

MANY young men can trace theil
downfall to the first time they discover
ed that they owned the fastest horse il
their neighborhood. The excitement
and pleasure of giving some fellow
traveller the dust" on the road has
awakened in the breast Of many a prom
ising youth the love for fast horses and
the race course, which in not few in
stances is the road to ruin. While there
are those engaged IN training and IA
cling horses that are honorable and re-
spectacle, it is a lamentable fact that
the number is not few that have no
other aim than to mike money out OF
it, no matter how they make 1t, and the
ore who makes the most is the one that
is generally the most thought of, and
the one most copied and apeu by nov
ices. The speed of horse is often one
of his most valuable features, and its
development is just as laudable as the
development of any other of his good
qualities, if done for proper purpose
but when it is done to enable the owner
or friends of the animal to procure the
money of their fellow man, it is turning
a virtue into vice. The fraud and de-
ception that is common on the race
courses of to-day are often so glaring
that even the 'uninitiated may easily
detect them. The young man who can
he satisfied with knowing, that he has
fast horse, and who does not try to
climb to the topmost rung of the ladder
in this direction, is the one who general
ly comes out best in the end.

WAIT TILL TROUBLE COMES.

Wesi: down, wayworn and weary,
And think of the days 10 be,
And forget there's silver lining
To all the clouds we see.
We fret over care and trouble
Before it is begun,
And thinking of stormy weather,
We forfeit the warm, bright sun.
1t were better to wait, my brother,
Till the trouble and care is here;
Why should we crowd the sunshine
When the day is bright and clear
By dreading what may await us1
Better to laugh and sing,
And bid the bird of foreboding
From these hearts of ours take wing
What was the sunshine made for,
If not to make US glad?
We are doing wrong TO waste it
In repining, Idle and sad.
We are doing wrong to squander
The sunshine of to-day
In foreboding that tomorrow
The sky may be cold and gray.
Then l pray be wise. my brother,
AS you climb the hill of life,
Enjoy the time to the utmost
That is free from care and strife.
Thinking only of blight and failure
We SOW no seed-time grain;
Make use of to-day's glad sunshine,
And for to-morrow's rain.
To-day is ours, but tomorrow,
Perhaps, we may never see;
Then why should we borrow trouble
For time that may not be?
Leave to the future, brother,
The trouble it may bring;
In the sunshine that God gives us
Be glad of heart, and sing.

TEE Sanitary Engineer condemns the
practice in small towns of arching over
natural water courses and depending on
them to remove household wastes. II
explains that natural water course
serves for the drainage Of the land all
along its course. Its banks can not be
made watertlght without obstructiHg the
natural progress of the water in the soil,
and backing it up and retaining it
where it ought not to be retained. A
sewer, on the other hand, is intended to
carry off foul matters which must be
gotten rid of as quickly as possible, and
the channel for conveying them must
be absolutely impervious, so that moth
ing can soak through it to the soil.
