A Postal Card Well Filled.

When some antiquarian of the future
reports that a citizen of Belfast wrote
on postal card the whole of one of
the annual messages of President
Cleveland the inference will be that
President Cleveland was man of few
words, but the inference will be wrong.
The message contained $4,000 words,
yet Mr.. Ria Kittredge got it all on
the card with steel pen and ink, each
letter, as seen through microscope,
being beautifully formed. Moreover,
a border three-eighths of an inch wide
is placed around the card, represent
ing string of beads, fifty-two in num-
Der, each three-sixteenths of an inch
in diameter, and most of them contain
ing the Lords Prayer; 1000
words are put into this border. Mr..
Kittredge is " years old, and says he
could get $4,000 words on a postal
card. 1t took him forty-five days to
write this one.-Leleistoaa Me. } Jour-

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Our BOYS.

sWhat shall We do with our boys?" he said,
Old Merchant Brown to his business wed,
Al with puzzled brow he shook his head.
aWill chooses the law, said Mrs B.
And Nee, said the father, she stays with me.
Ill take him into the store as clerk
And 4 he'll be steady and tend to work
He'll soon be q partner, and when die
He'll be merchant the same as J."
4And now?' asked the mother, what about
Jim2
Our youngest; what shall we do with him?"
Jim heard the question. Father" said he,
iii tell You what you can do for me.
AS all my boyish pranks are played,
It's time to begin let me learn q trade"
I'd rather treat you the same as tho rest,
And can afford it, as well you know
And q trade, Jim, isn't that rather low2
l wanted to send you off to college,
To cram your brain with classical knowledge;
best.
You to learn trade, Jimq I'm sure you jestr
4No, father, mean just what say;
I've thought of the matter for many day
And that is the serious choice I've made
If you don't object, let me learn trade
You say it's low, but we don't agree;
All labor is honor, it seems to me.
Not every lawyer can find success,
Nor every doctor, as you'll confess;
But a man with trade, and a thorough skill,
Can find employment, look where he will.
As for education, 1 still may learn;
The night-schoo1s and lectures will suit my
turn"
Then parents and brothers had their say,
But Jim stood firm till he had his way.
Will went through college, and studied law,
And looked for clients he seldom saw.
Ned worked as clerk for o three years term,
Then his father took him into the firm.
Jim learned his trade, and learned IL well,
His motto in all things to excel.
His nights he spent in filling his mind
With useful knowledge of every kind.
As time went onward, all he learned,
To good and wise account he turned;
Until, within him he found one day,
talent rare for invention lay.
And, before very many years were past
His fortune had come to him at last;
Though long ere this he had found what's best,
A home with wife and children blest.
The merchant died, and then twas known
His wealth had in speculation flown.
Then Jim, the open handed, said
Here's home for mother and brother Nedl"
And even wise VIII looks up to him,
For there's nobody now like brother Jim.
"What shall we do with our boys ?" you said;
" tbs best if you let them learn a trade.
You think it Is low, but we don't agree;
All labor is honor it seems to me.
And a man with q trade and O thorough skill
Can find employment, look where he will"

How Hans Went and Came.

The lesson in literature was the life
of Hans Anderson. l laid down my
book and thought of the man whose
life I had just studied, of his pure, good
life in those northern cities, when:
Suddenly there stood before me an
odd little boy, older than any had
ever seen before-a boy with large,
dreamy eyes, and hair that lay in
curls all over his head. He was dress
ed in little jacket and long trousers,
all of some dark wooden material,
while pair of little wooden shoes
that clattered as he walked, and q
queer little red cap, like night-cap,
completed the costume of this strange
little boy.
L Gradually there rose up behind him
house, as strange to my eyes as the
boy, house of one story, above which
rose roof three times as large as the
other part, ending in an abrupt peak.
Slowly out of the mist that surrounded
both came other houses, but all re-
sembling the small one, although many
were much larger, with several stories
in the high, steep roofs. On some of
the roofs were nests made of twigs and
dry leaves, in which stood huge birds,
many Of them standing on one leg.
Near by dull beating sound could be
heard it was the sea beating against
the bikes.
The little boy opened the half door
of the house and walked in to where a
woman stood stirring the evening por-
ridge.
She turned to him and said;
@Hans, child, what has kept thee so
long?'
4The tailor sent me on an errand,
mother"
@And did he say thou couldst come,
child?" (anxiously).
"Thou art to come tomorrow, moth
er, and sign the paper" and tears
shone in the little boys eyes as he said
the words. Then, choking down the
sob that rose in his throat, he caught
his mother about the neck.
20 mother! motherl Do not let me
go. Only let me go to Copenhagen,
and will make my way alone. / can
do it, mother, and / do not like the
tailor's trade.
The mother sat down on the wooden
settee, holding the boy in her arms.
The look ON her face showed her
hearts thoughts How could she let
her only son go out into the world with

annual exhibit Of the products and manu-
features of this great territory should be a
vastly different show from that now at
tracing such crowds of visitors. How best
to interest the people and induce them to
let the community see what they are doing
in agriculture and manufacture, in art and
handiwork, in skill and invention, and in
the various fields of human industry, is a
matter which should be considered and
acted upon. If the premiums offered are
insufficient, if the methods employed are
not satisfactory, if the expenses Of making
an exhibit are too great, or if anything
stands in the way of full and thoroughly
representative display, the truth should
be known and the obstacles removed. as
far as may be. No one questions that these
exhibitions are both entertaining and in
structive, and there is not doubt that
they are generally beneficial in that they
inspire a praiseworthy rivalry and are full
of suggestions and encouraging hints. Then
1t is necessarily true that the larger, more
general and better the display the greater
the benefit that will come from it.
THE HERALD hopes that the fairs will be
continued annually, and it also hopes that
each year will show marked advance in all
the departments over the previous display.
The people are equal to the exhibition of
this progress, and how TO induce them to
make the showing should be the careful
study of the D. A. & NJ. Society's directors.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S MISTAKE.

We must applaud the moral sentiment of
the people of South Dakota as to liquor
drinking, but in the light of history the
judgment of the voters of the new state
cannot be commended. The delegates to
the late constitutional convention were
earnestly solicited to put a prohibitory
clause in the constitution; the proposition
was voted ON in the convention and de.
feated, not because a majority of the dele.
gates were opposed to temperance, but for
the reason that they did not believe prohib-
ition could be enforced. The delegates
also said the question was one which should
be determined by the people themselves II
was therefore arranged that the PROPOSE
ton should be submitted for the people S
decision in the form of an amendment to
the constitution. The amendment has been
carried along with the constitution, and
South Dakota begins its career as a state
with constitutional inhibition of traffic in
intoxicants.
It is not doubted that the great majority
of the people of the new state are temper
ate to the degree of total abstinence. They
know the evil of intemperance and would
gladly abolish drunkenness from their
midst. At the same time there is minor
ity which is given to the use of intoxicants,
and be that minority Insignificant or 9th
erwise as to numbers, it will
get liquor in spite of the majority. There
will be liquor drinking and drunkenness in
Dakota though there are ten teetotalers
actively engaged in the enforcement of the
law for every man who tipples. The ex-
perience Of the world, ever since there
have been intoXicants, has demonstrated
the impossibility of enforcing real prohibit
ton. 1t is not likely that the good people
of South Dakota will be able to do what
most excellent communities have failed to
accomplish. 1t is not probable that the
Dakota community can do what the Utah
community was unable to do, the latter
having advantages which the former does
not possess. THE HERALD, which has al
ways been a consistent advocate of temper
ance, has maintained that if prohibition
was ever possible it was so in this terri
tory few years ago, and yet at that time
liquor was bought, sold and drank in de-
fance of most stringent laws, and there
was drunkenness in towns where a man
ieopardized his property as well as his
personal liberty by keeping intoxicants on
his premises.
In the light of the long line of failures and
the entire absence of success, it is some
what surprising that the new state should
adopt prohibition, and at the outset engage
in losing contest. With the examples of
Maine, Kansas and Iowa before them, the
consumption of liquor in these prohibition
states being as great in proportion to popu-
lation, as in states which license the traffic,
one might have thought that the Dakotaus
would have hesitated in this matter.
The other new states have wisely avoided
engaging in vain and idle struggle. They

THE DEMOCRATIC nominee for governor
of Ohio, JAMES E. CAMPBELL, has some
thing to his credit to which he can point
with pride, though it is doubtful if the cpl,
sode will prove advantageous in this age
where the bigger the pension claim an old
soldi er presents the greater is his patriot
ism. When CAMPBELL was boy he en-.
listed in the naval service, and for two
years served, on gunboats on western xiv
ers, finally being discharged on account of
ill-health. For ten years he drew pen
sion, and much of the time was unable to
work. At length his health being restored
he voluntarily surrendered his pension to
the government, and at his own request
his name was stricken from the pension
rolls. 1t is safe to say that the precedent
has not been followed, though there are
hundreds of men drawing pensions who
are physically superior to Mr.. CAMPBELL.

THE FAIR.

We don't know what should be done to
inspire greater interest in the annual fairs.
We do not mean in the matter of attend
ance, for that is general enough, everybody
within reach going once or twice, keeping
the exposition buildings and grounds un-
comfortably full. We refer to the exhibits.
With the exception of the live stock dis
play and the wagon and agricultural imple-
ment exhibit, it must be confessed that
while the fair is creditable in one sense it
is not what it should be. There is credit
due to the exhibitors, and too much praise
cannot be bestowed on them. But the
intelligent visitor who is ordinarily familiar
with the resources, the capabilities and the
development of the territory cannot blind
his eyes to the fact that the exposition is
meagre, and is scarcely what might be
called representative. There is no depart
ment in which a much better display could
not be made, and in some departments the
exhibition is wofully deficient.
THE HERALD is not saying these things
through a desire to hurt anybody's feelings.
We fully understand that the Deseret Ag-
ricultural and Manufacturing society, and
all committeeman and others who have had
anything to do with the fair, have labored
hard and faithfully to make the exhibition
a success in other respects than as to hnan-
ces, and we further realize that under the
circumstances the results are something
surprising. At the same time we are Ger
Tain that all viii agree with US that an

AN UNFAIR ATTACK.

1t seems that Chief Justice WRIGHT, of
Washington territory, is to be "investi-
gated" The charge against him is that he
has been charging his functions by amend
ing the statutes, whereas his legal duties
were supposed to be confined to the ex-
pounding of the law as the legislators left
it. If this course of conduct shall be
deemed sufficient cause for censure or re-
moval, what will become of the great
majority of the gentlemen sent to the terri
tories as federal judges! We believe it is
the rule, rather than the exception, for
these judicial officers of the nation to go
quite as far as Judge WRIGHT is reported
to have gone in making the laws to fit spe-
cial cases. In Utah that has certainly been
the rule direct legislation from the bench
being not uncommon, in some instances
judges going so far as to add to the penal
ties which the statutes fixed as the outside
limit of the punishment for offense.s 1t is
recorded of one Judge in this ter
ritory who said from the bench that
the law was so-and-so: that he
wished it was otherwise, but as it was not
he must overcome his personal feelings and
abide by the statute. But that was long
time az o and his honor was an exception:
his course has not been followed as a pre-
cedent. Other judges who have not liked
the reading of the law have not hesitated to
make it read according to their own notions.
Doubtless Chief Justice WRIGHT enter
tanned the not uncommon idea that being a
federal judge he was bigger than territor-
ial legislature, and so got himself into
trouble. In our opinion he is pardonable,
considering the past and taking into &C
count the rule that has been followed. If a
change is to be inaugurated WRIGHT should
have been warned in time and given an OPP
portunity to right-about-face.
