When the fair is opened, the fathers

THE DIME NOVEL CURE.
A Scrap-BoOk Containing the Ad-
ventures Of the Boys Who Read
Dime Novels

II 5cfap-Book Containing the Ad
ventures Of the Boys Who Read
Dime Novels.
Boston Herald.
A trustee Of the Providence public IL
brary has undertaken to cure the small
boy Of his interest in the dime novel, and
can be said to have succeeded. He has
met the antecedent with its consequent.
lie has gathered into a scrap-book the
adventures of the boys who read dime
novels, and has made it his business in a
quiet way to ask the boys one by one
who are interested in these stories to
spend an hour or two in reading. not the
imaginative story, but the way in which
the small boy has attempted to realize
how boys ought to live and what thew
ought to be allowed to do. It is said
that the dime novel hoy usually reads the
scrap-book, which is rapidly increasing
IN size as the fresh exploits Of the dime
novel adventurers are added to it, about
two hours. He then lays it down in dis
gust, and nothing can induce him to re-
turn to these stories again. He asks the
person in charge Of the reading-room for
better class of books.
This cure of a disease with its own
poison las been so effective in Provi
dence that the trustee in question is
thinking Of taking out patent for the
process, lest other libraries and the heads
of families and the guardians of the
small boy generally may appropriate
his invention without due credit. The
scrapbook alluded to is called
"Fho Dime Novel illustrated" and it
is suggested to this gentleman before he
goes much further that he should put
ms scrap-b0olI to press. secure his COPY |
right at home and abroad, and stand ND !
for honors as the only man in the world |
who has so far succeeded in outwitting |
the average American boy, by giving
him a sufficient antidoto to the evil
which, in the form of deveIish literature
he is anxious to take into his mind and
heart, to make him abandon these stories
in disgust.
He is the first among moderns to give
point to the old saying, Look on this
picture and then on that, and it is the
other picture that is powerful enough to
wind up the dime novel business. These
are the days Of realism in literature,
and this man, going further than Mr.
tloweIls or Mr.. James, or even NJ. lola,
has substituted the pastepot and scissors
for the imagination, gathering his hor-
rors and tragedies from actual life, in
the firm belief that if truth snot strang-
In than fiction it has a wonderful power
at the right moment over an awakened
mind

The Land Grant of this Company, in alternate sections extends entirely the Territories ot New Mexico and Arizona, between the 34th and 76th degrees of north latitude. It IS oso miles long and So miles wide and includes some of the best grazing lands of both Territories. In the valleys are many desirable tracts ofagricuitural land, sts- ceptible of irrigation. A sufficiency of water has grazed and large herds have been grazed in the country ever since the coming of the Mexicans Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained.
 A stream of running water, the San Jose, rises near the summit of the Sierre Madre, and runs $ miles eastward to the Rio Puerco, and the compa- ny's road follows the whole length of its valley. There are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, ianked by grassy and WOO ded hills upon which there IS open growth of small cedar and pinon. There is anert nsive belt of good pine timber the mountains, near the railroad and good springs found on both slopes of the Sierre Madre. There is a large coal field west of Fort Wingate which has been fully Cx- plored and which will afford labor for large pop ulation there are also coal deposits the slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of bull ding stone are found in great abundance along the line of the road.
 In Arizona the grazing areas are supplied with good water and the United States Surveyors, who made the official surveys of the country, say they are as good, if not better, than those of Wyoming and Montana. The Navajo Indians grow corn without irrigation. in the vareys of the Puerco of the West, on the Company's lands, and in the val lev ofthe Little Colorado, also the line of the road, good crops of corn, sorghum, oats, barley, and garden vegetables are grown by irrigation, the finest of potatoes, oats, wheat barley and gar den vegetables of large size and fine quality have been successfully grown without irrigation

Good will come from the Central American war if it is true, as re- ported, that the five states are now moving to unite by common con- sent but the danger is that the temporary consternation of Guate- mala is being used to force her in- to a union that must further huml- late her. Such an agreement could have no element of lasting peace in it. Guatemala has been humbled by an accident of war, at the mo- ment of victory, it seems; sheis by far the most powerful of the Gen. tral American States, and may Do expected when the present excite ment has subsided to make trouble if any coercion is attempted.

Father, and in his Son Jesus Christ,
 and in the Holy Ghost.
 We believe that man will be pun ished for their own sins and not for
 Adams transgression.
 We believe that through the aton-
 ment of Christ, all men may be
 saved by the obedience to the laws
 and ordinances of the gospel.
 We believe that a man must be
 Called of God, and ordained by the
 Laying on of Hands of those who
 are in authority, to entItle him to
 preach the gospel, and administer in the ordinances thereof.
 We believe in the same kind of organization that existed in the primitive church, viz: Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evan gelists, etc.
 We believe that in the Bible is contained the word of God, so far as 1t is translated correctly. We believe that the canon of Scripture is not full, but that God, by his Spirit, will continue to reveal His word to man until the end of time.
 We believe in the powers and gifts of the everlasting gospel, viz: the gift of faith, discerning of spirits, prophecy, revelation, heal ing, visions, tongues, and the inter- pretation of tongues, wisdom, char ity, brotherly love, etc.
 We believe that marriage is or- dained of God and that the law of God provides but for one compan- ion in wedlock, for either man or woman, except in cases were the contract of marriage Is broken by death or transgression.
 We believe that the doctrines of ! plurality of wives and a commun- ty of wives are heresies, and are opposed to the law of God. The Book of Mormon says: "Wherefore ny brethren, hear me, and harken 0 the word of the Lord. For there ihall not any man among you have ave it be one wife, and concubines le shall have none, for I, the Lord tod ,delighteth in the chastity of vOmen. 1nd Whored0Tns strU srbom- nation before me, saith the Lord of losts.nn
 We believe that in all matters of ontroversy upon tie duty of man Oward God, and in reference to and fitness for the world 0 come, the word of God should be ecisive and the end of dispute; nd that when God directs, man hould obey.
 We believe that the religion of esus Christ, as taught in the New testament Scriptures, will, if its recepts are accepted and obeyed, lake men and women better in the circle, and better citizens f town, county and state, and con- better fitted for the hange which cometh at death.
 We believe that men should wor- nip God in Spirit and in truth ;'' nd that such worship does not re- uire a violation of the constitution law of the land.
 We claim the privilege of wor- liping Almighty God according to le dictates of our conscience, al- w all men the same privilege, let lem worship how, where, or what ley may.
