Miss Fabian" said Tom, desperately.
"Whati" roared his father, with
. great start
"You see, guv'nor,' proceeded
Tom, I'm in a much better position
than l was before I went away. Then.
as you justly pointed out 1 was in
debt, l had no capital, and I was al
together dependent upon you. But
my debts are now paid, and as for
capital"
"Well, sir, what about capltal?"
interrupted the old man, too much
amazed to be angry
''There IS the money you paid to
Miss Fabian" said Tom, with q
fleeting smile. The interest on it
would keep us from starving, and at
least it is enough to buy and stock
farm with
"But-but 1 paid the money be-
cause you broke your promise to
marry her, urged his father, incred-
ulously. 'She would never marry
you now"
Il think she would," replied Tom,
In confident tone
1.-The fact is, sir, that 1 have been
victimized," exclaimed old Mr.. Noly-
neux, suddenly, as the truth flashed
across his mind.
'.Not exactly, father-at least, not
yet" returned Tom, with great earn
estness. 81 hope you will not with
hold your consent to our marriage.
If you consent, the money shall be
paid back to you-svery farthing.
don't wish to defy you, as it were;
and both of US are willing to rely
entirely, with regard to the future,
upon your generosity"
Old Mr.. Molyneux had turned
purple in the face, and Tom was
justly alarmed at his aspect. But
before he could utter a word in reply
man servant brought In a note, re-
marking that messenger was wait
ing to know if there was any reply.
Mr.. Aolyneux opened the envelope
half-absently, glanced hurriedly at
the contents, and then gave vent to
muttered e1ecration which appar-
emily relieved his over-wrought feel
ings. After striding about the room
for few moments in great agitation
he suddenly halted in front of Tom,
and cried in a voice of suppressed
passion:
| ''You = you impertinent, disre-
spectfal, disobedient rascal! What
did you say about the money!"
Il said every farthing would be
returned to you," replied Tom, star
ing at his father.
| Every WE'LL" said the old man, alb
ruptly; and he Immediately sat down
at the writing table, and wrote a ncte
with a tremulous hand Read that"
he said to his son, when he had fin
ished."
i Tom, in his turn amazed and be-
wildered, read as follows:
DEAR LORD LABURNUM-It is very
kind of you to hasten to inform me,
on hearing of my sons return, that
you have other views with regard to
your daughter Florence l ought,
perhaps, to have mentioned that my
son has been engaged to a Miss
Fabian for some months, and that his
marriage will take place Immediately.
| Yours faithfully,
| JOHN MoLYNEUx.
"Ohl father. 1t is awfully good
Of you," cried Tom, with tears in his
eyes
II expect Lord Laburnum will be
riled," said old Mr.. MoIyneux, sulk-
, lily, as he folded up the note. II

He Got There, But IL Hurt His Feel
inrs.

OF the host sent up for unlawful cohab-
itation, John Connolly seems to be the
only one to realize the disgrace of impris-
onment for the offensive crime. He
stated to friend on the street that he
had made short visit OF inspection to
the palace on the bench and found it Il
horrible place for Saint to be locked up
in. Brother Connolly said the pros
poets OF being incarcerated among
the motley crowd in bed-ticking
suits made the chills run up his
spinal column and turned all his
JOY to sorrow. Said he: '"There was
brother Musser walking to ane fro like u
horse in tread mill He had his hands
folded behind him and made me think
OF Mark Tapley,' in Martin Chuzzlc,cit,
as he whistled a consoing tune with an
apparent determination to be happy
under all circumstances ! had rather
die than go to that bastile, and | shall
plead guilty and get as light a dose as
possible" Connolly carried out his reso-
lntions, but alas, with no assurances of
good behavior in the future, and is now
among his fellow companions learning
one OF the lessons of Utah life,

How Brother Miner Got Left.

Some OF the testimony in the Miner
cohabitation case yesterday afternoon was
OF ratheran amusing nature, and not cal
culated to inspire much confidence in the
jury in regard to the veracity OF the wit
nesses for the defense. The mother of
Miners second wife testified that she had
forgotten her daughters name-that is
whether it was Elizabeth Ann or Ann
Elizabeth, the indictment mentioning
"Annie" Adams-while the father testi-
fed that it was Elizabeth Ann, sure, and
her brother swore that he had seen u
certificate of baptism only three or four
days ago that converted the alleged can
ME" into II positive Elizabeth Ann"
He had forgotten, however, where he saw
this document, and whether it was his
father or his mother who had exhibited
it, although only three or four days had
elapsed. The fact that his father and
mother had testified to no knowledge of
any such certificate of baptism, showed a
surprising lack of coaching" on the
part OF the luminous Miner, and proves
once more the truth OF the old adage that
he who hath himself for client, hath a
fool for lawyer.

UTAH AT NEW ORLEANS.
we should Hurry Up I'm the Matter,
ms Applications for Space are
Fast Crowding In.

Advices from New Orleans state that
applications for space in the various build
ings of the American Exposition, 10 open
on November 10th, are daily pouring in
from States, cities and large business
firms in all parts OF the United States !;
while the countries of Mexico, Central
and South America, as we'll as important
places in Europe, are sending in large
quota. In fact, where at the outset, the
filling of the oceans of vacant space
caused the promoters OF the enterprise
no inconsiderable amount of anxiety, the
situation has in the past few months been
entirely reversed and the management
deem it their duty to inform those intend
ing exhibitors who have not yet applied
for space to do SO at once, ere it be too
late. While this is, of course, very
gratifying state of affairs that the man
agement is able to announce, still it shows
the necessity of city and individual ex-
hibitors who have thus far failed to make
their applications for space doing so inn
mediately.
There is no longer any question of the
success OF the American Exposition; it
has been constructed upon sound bust
nesS prilclpieSj IL ls operiteu by DuslneSS
men, to solve the commercial problem of
the day the securing of an outlet for our
surplus manufactured products. The non
manufacturing countries of Spanish and
Portuguese America are looked to for the
relief needed. AT the coming Exposition
they will contrast their resources with
ours, and afford the opportunity ofreach
ing an early understanding for the cstab-
lishment Of business relations of mutual
advantage. Their question OF new trade
relations for merchants of the United
States necessitates prompt action on the
part of our manufacturers and business
men, in order that they shall be repre-
scented in the magnificent Exposition to
take place in New Orleans this winter.

The Result of squaw,s Curiosity

The Phoebe Record is responsible for
the following: An Indian, the fore part
of the week, at his wickiup down in the
valley, was engaged in heating an old
branding-iron for the purpose OF branding
his horses. While examining one of the
animals, and being in bending position,
with his back toward the fire, little dream
ing of the dose he was about to receive, u
squaw, standing by the fire, just behind
the buck, becoming imbued with that
curiosity possessed by her sex, and wish
ing to make practical and scientific ex-
periments with the branding iron upon
flesh herself, she jerked the heated iron
out of the fire and pressed it against the
buck'sprojected anatomy, burning through
the pants into the flesh. As the iron
touched the flesh, the buck gave genuine
war-hoop, that was re-echoed many times,
and jumped high in the air, which caused
the other Indians to laugh at his discom-
future. Without attempting to eXtinguish
his burning pants, the Infatuated buck
picked up the hot iron and pursued the
fleeing squaw, caught and threw her
down, and pressed the iron until it burned
to the bone, and the other Indians went
to the rescue OF the squaw. That buck
does not Mt present chase the antelope
over the plains, sitting in the saddle, and
the squaw does not gaze heavenward
when she lies down.

A Blue Outlook.

Professor Langley, who knows more
about the sun than most people know
about the earth says that the sun is really
blue: that it is the atmosphere OF the
earth which tempers its heat and color
into white light, and that the blue sky is
the real light of the sun, unaffected by
the earth's atmosphere. He has learned
this by that wonderful instrument the
spectroscope. He says our misconcep-
tions of the white light of the sun is the
same mistake the fish at the bottom of
the ocean would make in imagining that
the SUMS light is a pale green. We live
ut the bottom of the sea of air and by
looking up through it get wrong notion
OF the true color of the sun. Then by the
same token the moon and stars must be
blue also. This is pretty blue outlook
for mankind.

safe to say that Il good patronage will be
given the games.

SALT LAKES WISE MEN.
They Meet Last Night, and Indulge
i'm some Talk on Diphtherfn.

Last evening the City Council con-
vened at the regular hour with Mayor
Sharp in the chair
A petition was presented by the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad Company,
asking permission to construct and oper-
ate line of railroad rs designated by an
accompanying map. A request to extend
the line now built to the gas works by
that company, to the Foote sampling
mill, was asked, which if denied, permits
sion of reaching the sampling mill by
some other direction was requested. Re
ferred to street and alley committee.
Applications for licenses as retail liquor
dealers were granted to Tomney 4 Hill
stead, j. w. Elliott and B. G.. Harvey.
The Salt Lake City Brewing Company
was also granted license to manufacture
malt liquors.
The committee on municipal laws re-
ported bill for an ordinance in relation
to peddlers, which was read the first time
and ordered printed for the benefit of the
Council.
Bills were allowed as follows: To j. s.
Jensen, for attention to tower and Office
clocks, $25; Mrs. M. A. Burt, meals
furnished city prisoners for the month OF
September, 1924, at 15c-$303.60.
Here Mr.. Dean arose and called the at
tention of the Council to diphtheriu. He
said, and very properly, that something
should be done to prevent the further
spread of the ravaging disease. The
quarantine laws were not administered
as they should be. Too much laxity
characterized the enforcing of the laws
for the suppression OF all such contagious.
1t was suggested by the speaker that each
infected house be guarded to prevent any
unnecessary going in or out of visitors,
who might further spread the disease.
Councillor Stringfellow concurred in
Mr.. Deans remarks relative to immedi-
ate measures being taken for the check
ing of diphtheria.
Alderman Waddell added some sensi-
BILE remarks to the speeches of his
associates and stated that the matter was
now in the hands of proper committee,
who would serve the requests of the pub
lie in endeavoring to stop further spread
of the disease.
Alderman Pyper moved to have an Or
dinance drafted on the subject by the
quarantine sanitary committee. This
would provide something to work on in
suppressing the spread of the disease tc
new districts. The motion was carried
and a resolution adopted as the voice Of
the council to recognize and support any
consistent movements toward checking
further spread of the disease. tits hoped
this first move is not simply spasmodiC
and not to be heard Of again. Adjourned

Goddard,s "TaTy. to the Innocents.

Superintendent Goddard, of the Nor
mon Sabbath schools, reused up the
gospel spirit within the hearts OF the
scholars al the regular monthly meeting
held in the Assembly Hall last Monday
night. Losing much faith in the older
pillars of the institution, he has resorted to
the rising generation, whom he exhorted to
live steadfast to the gospel OF the Saints,
for which their parents are now being
prosecuted nigh unto death. "You
polygamous children are the especial
chosen ones Of God, on whom shall fall
the mantle Of this gospel" said he. The
speaker counseled each and every one of
them to save their nickels to contribute
toward spreading the last dispensation
among the benighted outside of the
church. Brother Goddard is good one
among the children in sustaining the Lat
ter-day gospel.

The Good.Looling Sailor Lad Who
rs Cruising Around the streets
of salt Lake.

For some days past rather cookbook
ing young man in the garb of sailor OF
the U. S. navy has been paroling the
streets, and has become an object OF in
terest as well as enquiry. In order to
ascertain whit he was doing, where from
and where going, DEMOCRAT reporter
accosted him on the street and, after
the formality of an introduction, ascer-
tanned that the mans name was Il. f.
Rogers. an Irishman by birth but an
American by adoption. He was enlisted
in the crew of the steamer u. S. "Wachu-
SETS" which left San Francisco in 1888,
with 144 men bound on voyage of in
spection having the interests OF the Gov
eminent in view and any point where our
commerce, standing or financial welfare
is in question. The cruise was made
along the western coast of Central
and South America, with frequent
stops at Reno, Chill and adjacent
islands. The vessel was commanded
by Capt. A. 4. Ueahan, with Executive
Officer A. ii. Vail, and pleasant voyage
experienced throughout They returned
to San Francisco the 4th of last month,
stripped sail because of the expiration of
their commission, and the crew scattered
in all directions, he finding his way here
in what must be considered unique
garb for this mountain and desert region.
Rogers wears good cloth, is very neat in
his attire, has handsome face and the
prettiest little moustache and teeth in
the country, and is altogether regular
lady's man, several of the fair sex here
about having already made their express
sions of admiration frequent and marked.
He speaks good quality of the Queens
English, makes himself well understood,
and may decide upon taking innate" OF
a different character and sex from the
one he served last.
