the evening, and as the company went ip to supper in relays-old folks first and young folks last as Mrs. Slack said-she found very little left but cup of coffee and turkey-bone when her duties wore done.
 But there is an end to everything. One day she saw Mrs. Slack driving up the road in tho minister's new buggy. She was wearing tho pretty mantilla she had borrowed of her. With her usual lit tie giggle she stopped at the garden gate.
 MT. Pepper had taken a holiday and was lying in the hammock reading. His wife had her sewing under the oak trees and was extremely happy and comforta- ble. If Mrs. Sleek had come to ask hel to drive she had resolved not to go. She would say: My husband has SO few holidays I cannot leave home today"
 But Mrs. Slack did no such thing.
 "You dear, good soul" she cried, as soon as she was within speaking distance, 'I came to borrow your husband" s'Borrow aohat2" ejacalated Mrs. Pep per.
 "Your husband," said Mrs. Slack, ''Slack's in New York; am going to a picnic; want an escort and some one to drive. May have hima"
 s'You ought to ask Mir. Pepper him. self" said Mrs. Pepper, very coldly.
 q shan't," said Mrs. Slack, playfully, '1 came to borrow him of you. You'll lend him, won't you2 and shall tell every one that dear, good angel, Mrs. Pepper, lent me her husband" 'You insist shall answer, Mrs. Slack, :" Mrs. Pepper answered.
 "Yes," lisped Mrs. Slack, 'syou'll lend him, won't you?"
 'No!" said Mrs. Pepper in a very de- cided tone, 'I am afraid shouldn't get him back. I let you have my piano. That hasn't been returned. My water proof-where is that2 My baby's car riage-your baby takes air in it now. My cutting-board and scissors, my roll ing-pin, and all the rest, I haven't seen. But I promised to cleave unto my hus- band till death does us part! You surely never would return him!'
 "Oh! ohi oh!" screamed Mrs. Slack, | turning pink. sfYou wicked woman You mean thing! You shall have all your horrid things back. Do you want i your spoonful of salt, too, you mean, mean wretch2"
 Then, tearing the mantilla from her shoulders, she threw it at Mir. Peppers head as he struggled from the hammock and drove away.
 She borrowed shawl from the clergy mans wife aud went to the picnic with her eldest boy as escort.
 Before her return Mrs. Pepper had proceeded to her neighbor's house and collected her goods and chattels.
 The piano was out of tune and scratch. cd; onions had been kept in the ice cream freezer, and the mantle had i, grease-spot on one shoulder; the child ren had cut a game on the lap-board, ant it was evident Mir. Slack had whipped them with the egg-beater. The baby carriage had been used to carry char coal home, and the points of the scissor were gone. So was Mrs. Stacks love She goes about abusing Mrs. Pepper a the meanest and most jealous thing sh ever knew.

Fair Morning in the Harbors

Fair Morning in the Harbors Fair morning is on the harbor, And morning on the bay, And the boats that were lying at onchor Now silently steal away. s No wind in the sails to bear them; They drift with the tide afar, Till they enter the outer harbor And silently cross the bar. It may be tho skipper is sleeping, He sits at the rudder so still; It may be the skipper is thinking Of his young wife on the hill She wastes no moment in signing; With day her labors begin, Wide open she filings the shutters To let the still sunshine in She pauses only an instant
 To look at the steel-gray dew, From that to the rose bush glanceA Where it sparkles fresh and new. And down the slope to the harbor, And over the harbor afar; For her dear little heart with the skipper Is just now crossing the bar. "God bless her!" tho skipper is saying, "God bless him!" the wife returns, Thus each for the other is praying, While each for the other yearns.
 -James Herbert Morse.

his campaign speeches, upon the civil
service reform record of Administers
ton, came with very bad grace from
him, to say the least of it. He has y
number of relatives and friends in the
employment of the Government here,
some of whom are retained in their
places because of q desire to show cour-
tesy to the Presidents late opponent.
His private secretary draws q salary at
the State Department while he IL still
attending to Mr.. Blaine's business
here. His brother is still retaining a
curator of the Agricultural Depart
ment museum, and his son remained
in the Court of ALBANIA claims until
that institution expired. I could cite
other dependents of his who are quart
cred on the Government. Yet in the
face of this he has the effrontery to
abuse the Administration for turning
cut more efficient old clerks and put
ting their friends in the places.
From the 10th of Noverlner until
after Congress meets, the President
will grant no more private interviews
to visitors except to such as call upon
business of actual public Importance.
His public duties are unus ualIy oner-
Gus just now, and he must have time
to write his message to Congress. Ev-
cry day at certain hours there is raid
upon the White House by those who
want to talk to the President before
his announcement goes inta effect.

A Domestic Episode.

A Domestic Episode.
The President sat in his easy chair,
With Lamont as close as could be,
And the Presidents IS wife sat over there,
With her sewing upon her knee.
Said the President: "Dan, here's job for
you;
NV head for the problems too thick.
Before you retire, wish you would do
A sum in arithmetic.
"With twenty-five Congressman lost this
year.
Which seems to be nearly our fate,
Where will we be-say, Dan, do you hear:
In the autumn of eighty -eight?"
Dan bit at his nails, and scratched his head,
Fer the problem puzzled him so.
"Why, may be, perhaps he stammered
and said,
Then declared that he didn't know.
The sweet little lady over there
Looked up, but not ut the men,
And softly said, with far away air,
''His teeth will be cut by then.o
The President looked before him straight,
And his frown made Daniel vince,
"My teeth will be cut by eighty EIGHT?
I thought they were cut long since"
The sweet little lady hung down her head
So busy with seams and fells,
And, blushing u little, she softly said,
81 was thinking of something else."

Ed. Regisser-As much has been
said against President Cleveland for
suspendipg Mr.. District Attorney Ben
top, few words through your paper
may not be amiss.
1t is presumable that the able Attor-
uey fully coinprehended the binding
force of the executive order restraining
Federal officers from participating in
the scramble for Office through COM
mittees, eaucuses and conventions; and
also, the obligation he assumed to
maintain that order by accepting the
high trust of honor and profit conferred
upon him; and, therefore. it is imma-
terial whether he helped to MAKE
! nominee or advocate his election by
public speeches: he incurred the PEN
atty imposed upon him, and neither
he nor his friends can justly complain,
or invoke the name of the American
Statesman, Thos. III. Benton, to In
flame the Democracy against the Pres
ident. The order Topping off official
patronage from the caucus dynasty Of
elections, is step towards the great
election reform proposed by Senator
Benton in 1924, after the defeat Of Gen.
Jackson for the Presidency. and will be
approved and supported by the people.
Andrew Jackson, whose administra-
tions were the most popular, stormy
and triumphant in the history Of our
country, swept away every official OBJ
struction to his purpose; and Cleveland
cannot err in "treading the footsteps"
of the hero President.

What the Press Says.

The Swift's Specific Co. have some
thing interesting to say to you in an
other column. The popularity of their
medicines is wonderful indeed; yet,
when we see how effective it is in all
diseases pertaining to the blood, we are
not surprised that it's popularity is so
great. It is undoubtedly one OF the
best blood medicines in the world

ment of many of the leading physicians
both in this country and Europe, and

able. Nothing like it has ever been
known before. This medicine Is for
sale in every drug store, not only in
this country, but abroad, which shows
its popularity. Are any of our readers
troubled with any OF these complaints?

ly stated some of the reasons why so
many English women come to this
country to join the Mormons.
They don't have half a chance 10
get husbands in England he
said. why one of them was tell
ing me only the other day that,
out of 100 women folks in her ma
tive village between the ages of
20 and 80, there were husbands
for only So of them. Fourteen of
the other 81 had owned husbands
once, but they had died. The re-
naming 80 never had any, She
seemed to have made a study OF
the question, for she told me that
there were less than 100000 wo-
men between 20 and 10 years Of
age in all England and Wales, and
of them nearly 100000 were I'M
married. So when the English
women learned about Utah, and
the glorious opportunities it offer
