evening, when the decanter was

He was greeted with shouts of laugh.

they put the decanter under his nose,
and INDUCED in many jokes at his ex.

rather serious about it

"Well, boys, will, though I know
you'll laugh at me. But I'll tell you.

drinker all my lite; ever since I was
married, rs all you fellows know. I
love whisky; it's as sweet to me as
sugar, and God only knows how I'll
quit it. For five years not a day has
passed over my head that didn't
have a cocktail before breakfast and
many drinks through the day. But I m
done.
Yesterday I was over on the East
side. Down in the Bowery customer
of mine keeps pawn-shop. l called
on him, and while was there a young
man of not more than twenty-five,
wearing seedy-looking clothes, and
with the appearance of not having
seen a sober day for month, came
in with little parcel in his hand.
"Tremblingly he unwrapped it, and
handed the article to the pawnbroker.
Give me ten cents And boys, what
do you suppose it was? A pair of
baby's shoes; little bits of things. with
the bottoms only tritle soiled, as if
they had been worn once or twice.
"Where did you get these?" asked
the pawn broker.
"'Got them home replied the man,

them for my baby. Give ME ten cents
for them; / want drink
"You had better take these shoes
back to your wife. The baby will need
them, said the pawnbroker.
"No, she won't need them, because
she's dead. She's lying at the house
now; she died last night
LAS he said this the poor fellow
broke down, bowed his head on the
counter and wept like child. Boys,
you can laugh if you like, but l have a
little baby of my own up home, and l
swear I'll never drink another drop"
AS he got up and went out. his COM

PERSIAN EQUESTRlANiSM.
Inveterate Horsemen Who Don't knO,
How to Ride.

Inveterate Horsemen Who Don't Know.
How to Ride.
1t is strange that. although the Per-
SLAMS arc all horsemen, they do not
know how to ride. using the term in
our sense. They will canter or gallop
all day long without visible discom-
fort, but they will sit on their animals
like monkeys. with their knees drawn
up and with their reins clutchcd tight,
and will fall off on the slightest provo
cation. When babies of three, they
are already in the saddle, and they are
in it all their lives; but they never re-
ceive any instruction, never know
what good. steady trot is, and never
learn to keep firm on their horses
back. And, like them, the Persian
horses never receive any training.
For all that they have a good deal of
native intelligence and they are kind
and afectionate. Kickers and biters
are rare among them. While in Ara
bia and Turkey mares are universally
ridden. in Persia it is the stations alone
that serve this purpose. Geldings are
unknown.
In the matter of dealers tricks the
Persians, with all their craftiness and
cunning, are not up to the Western
standard. Still they understand pretty
well how to conceal the ravages time
has made, or the imperfectiors of con-
stitution or disposition in their ''crit-
ters." Some of their tricks are identi-
cal with those obtaining here. There
is one great obstacle in the way of
success for them. though. Custom
makes it incumbent ON dealer to
leave a horse he has sold at least
twenty-four hours in the purchasers
stable. II, at the expiration of that
time, the animal has not found favor
in the eyes Of the buyer. the latter can
return It; If it has, the money is then
and there paid. not before.-Cosnsopes-

CHILD,

STORY OF A DRUNKARD'S
CHILD.
How these scars came did you ask!
Tender are your tones and mild
Can it BE- you do not know
That Am drunkard's child?
Long ago one dreadful night,
He who claims fathers place.
Mad with runs malignant power,
Threw . glass at mothers face.
But it missed its deadly aim
Twas sleeping on her breast.
Seeing these unsightly scars,
Need tell you all the rest!
Deep within the vale strayed,
While they watched with bated breath,
Then with lingering steps I came
B ok to life far worse than death.
Better far that had died,
Than this lonely, bitter life,
lean never hope for love,
Never be a cherished wife.
Even little children turn
From my face in fear and dread;
Do you wonder am sad,
Often longing to be dead?
o. these frightful, hideous scars
Close all doors to loves domainl
Blighted life and broken heart
can never smile again!
Now my story you have heard,
Do you wonder that hate
Zen the very name Of rum
And all that can intoxicate?

no object. We feel proud to say tnat
this season we have show without an equal
on the globe The public's obedient SER
wants, HALnEN & HART, sole proprietors.
This notice which the Hallen & Hart
people put at the foot of their bills
leaves but little to be said on the sub
ject of their show, which comes 70 the
Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. Be
in without an equal on the face of the
globe, of course it will do fairly
we'll in Salt Lake, as our
town is proud of its reputation
for literally patronizing the best of all
things. 1t was only the other week
that we paid over 81 600 to see Messrs.
Booth and Barrett, but even those
artists, it is said, do sometimes stick on
the question of salaries to their people,
and there is no doubt that Salt Lake
will pay literally to see two managers
who do not allow such petty and yul-
gar considerations to enter into their
reckonings.
Hallen and Hart, too, set Booth and
Barrett an example and teach them a
lesson in the matter of advertising.
While the two great tragedians were
niggardly 10 the extreme in the use of
cuts and show printing. the two great
variety managers have filed our town
with gay and startling Autographs on
every fence and wall. If there were
not newspaper in town, the pictures
would suffice to fill the house.
The only other event of the week will
be the excursion of the Home Club to
Provo and Lehi, and their rendition of
Confusion in those towns on Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings. The trip
is made in response to a frequently ex-
pressed invitation from leading people
in those places, and will be entirely in
the nature of an tout" the expenses of
the visit being fully as much as can be
taken in. The same. nightly royalty
has to be paid the owners as for per
formances in Salt Lake. The whole
company of some twenty people leave
on the Utah Central Wednesday eve
ming and go to Provo. A number will
return to town Thursday morning and
rejoin the rest of the company in Lehi
that evening, the whole party coming
back either by the D. & &. q. midnight
train, or by the Utah Central Friday
The event will be pleasant
one for the Club, and our southern
friends will see q clean cut, high-class
performance such as they do not often
have the pleasure of witnessing.

What l should like to write treatise
on at some time is epidemic meIos-
thenia, or what may be called collective
sweetness and light mania. Occasion
ally we see great numbers OF people at
tackled with the disorder without any
apparent specific cause, as was the case
in the outbreak of Russellogia and
Langtrytis and Terryconitis and Mania
Potter. The infectious character OF
these cerebral complaints has always
been as much of a mystery as the pop
ular outbreak of aesthetic morality.
For several months a large portion of
the inhabitants of New York were
afflicted with what may be called an
attack of Lillian Russell. 1t was very
much like one of those plaques of the
Middle Ages-say the sweating Sickness
it came upon people without pre-
vision, threw them into kind of a
trance, and then left them suddenly.
All attempts 10 cure it were vain.
The physicians only advised rest,
and then let the disease run its
course. One of the marked symptoms
was delusion. The moment a person
was attacked he began to believe that
Russell was both an angel and vO-
calist. AS soon as he recovered his
senses he denied that he ever held such
q belief. Men we're struck down while
carrying on their business, and imme-
dlately set about making assignments
and wills in favor OF Russell. Car
drivers were attacked on their plat
forms, and sieZing the company s
money left their vehicles, and rushed
off to buV sealSkin cloakS and bououets.
One young man in the LotHs Club had
himself tatooed all over in pale blue
with her name.
The Terryconites never reached such
paroxysmal stage as this. 1t was
mainly fehrile, and was characterized
by a low fever, much thirst and per-
turbed:fancy. BUTT lasted longer and
was much harder to cure. Most of the

The will Of tie lively little French
Marie Aimee, caused great deal of
amazement on the Paris Boulevards

the clever woman had left $40, 900 in the
most romantic way to her last love,

Albertini of 20 Avenue de ieana. In

husband of Miss May Fielding,
formerly a member of Mr.. Augustin
Daly's Company. Aimee, whose real
name was Marie Aimee Trochon, was
a thorough Bohemian, and the oldest
of the many odd French women on the
stage. She was always lin love" WITH
some one, first it was said with
Brazilian millionaire, who returned her
affection in sparkling diamonds of rays
serene, then with Mr.. Jolly, more or
less jolly New York dyer, whom she
married and gave pretty little
daughter. whose name does not appear
in the will. Then she married a Mr..
Ducrow, a member of her company,
with whom she returned to France.
He managed two theatres for her, and
managed to completely ruin her in a
couple of years. Both returned to the
New World again. he to die of cholera
at Havana, and she to New York. Be
it said to his credit that during the
time he played in Havana, he sent half
his salary every week to his wife. NJ
Del Campo is a handsome, dark-eyed
man, half Aimee's age. He was, and
probably is still, very bad actor, but
has a very sweet voice. He was grace
full well-bred, and returned the affec-
ton, which the clever little French
woman gave him.

In addition to the advantages of a connecting railroad between Prescott and Phenix, recently mentioned in these columns, the Arizonan adds that the thousands and thousands of dollars an- nually expended for lumber in this county would he kept within the terri tory-itself a very important item, while theease of reaching either of the trans continental lines traversing the terri tory would open to the people of Phe- nix and Prescott competitive rates, that certainly would prove of immense ad- vantage. There is nothing that can ad- vance so fully the interests of both coun- ties as the construction of the Prescott & Arizona Central railroad 10 junction with the Maricopa & Phenix line.

 Robinson the "booby," while the same honors for gentlemen were carried of hy Morris Goldwater and the scribe of this paper. An elegant lunch, consist
