II on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfuliy meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fiendsh. Look at mans
countenance ere you poke him under the
RIBS. II his skin and eyeballs have sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is furred, his breath apt to be sour
that he has pains not only beneath his
ribs, but also under the right shoulder
blade Also, that his bowels are irregu-
lar and his digestion impaired. Instead
of making jocose demonstration on his
ribs, recommend him to take and steadily

Trifes That Count.

Trihes are those things which OF
themselves are of little moment; there
fore, it is but natural that men in the
rush OF business and work should some-
times slight those comparatively-sma
matters in their anxiety for the main
issue. With many, this is apt to be-
come confirmed habit and they grow
into the way OF habitually disregard
ing any little piece of work, that, OF
itself, is trifling, and fail to look to the
little wastes that are constantly going
on around them in consequence.
Such is the case on the farm, espe-
cially; very few farmers are given to
considering how much these little
things amount to in the course of
year. Although quite insignificant,
when considered individually, these
tribes count up amazingly, directly
and indirectly, In twelve-month.
A little mouse-hole in the grain-bin
" not particularly alarming, and the
farmer thinks that, in his hurry, it is
hardly worth noticing, but before the
year has closed, several shillings will
have crept out there. A little leak in
the roof is so common, and. OF itself,
such triaing affair, that 1t very sell
dom gets proper attention in the way
of repairs, yet the constant dropping
OF water upon the plastering below
may cost several dollars worth OF
work TO be expended in repairs, when
few minutes Of time on the roof
would have prevented II.
A little pile OF earth or rubbish
has accumulated around the stills OF
the shed, but as IL is such trifiing
matter IL is not noticed until the
timber begins to rot away and the
shed to sag; then II will take few
slightly shape again. Perhaps 1t ia
broken hinge on the gate that needs
few minutes labor TO mend; but, fail
ing to get this little attention, the gate
Is thrown around, run against, and
racked until whole days work must
be given to the job, thus uselessly add
ing to the farmers burdens.
Whatever IL Is, and however trinina
II may appear, twill surely save much
after-loss and vexation TO attend to
any little matters about the farm,
similar 10 the ones above mentioned.
II not attended to, they will absorb
the profits. or perhaps prevent any
from ACQUIRING. w. ID. Beynton, In

yearn for each other and the feel

hotel they sometimes pat on a
"front," believing they can deceive
the genuine who presidS at the
desk, The clerk never fail to seize
them rightly. The bride is usually
overaffabIe to the bell boy, and
her husband steps up to the regis

great big "W." The clerk asks

A VirQInIa Mormon Wife.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Sept. D.
Hans Jesperson was brought be-
fore United States Commissioner
Hill, at Provo, on Thursday, char
ged with pOlygamy and Leld in
$4,000 bail and the second wife in
$1,000. The latter related under
oath how she was converted to
Mormonlsm in Virginia and came
to Utah last November and gave
the details of her marriage to Jes'
person in tue Mormon temple at
at Manti, five months ago. She
told how she subsequently came
to Salt Lake City where sue went
through the Endowment House
where all pOlygamOus marriages
and other secret rites of the church
are solemnIzed. She could not tell
who performed the ceremony as
whoever it was stayed behind cur
tain. No marriage license was pro
cured as the Tucker.Edmnnds law
provides. The case is important
owing to the fact that for several
years past it has been next to i'm
possible to secure convictions in one
of these cases. Had the second
wife not testified freely her hus'
band would have escaped the FIVE
years penalty which now stares
him In the face.

PIONEER TINES.

There are still told in the West
ern Strtes some dramatid incidents
of early history which illustrate
the rough elements out of which
the finer civilization has grown.
There was berry little form or
reverence, for example, observe
even in the pulpit. In the early
settlements in Illinois, meeting"
was held once q month. Pars0n
Lindley was a powerful preacher,
and always drew o crowd. He
stood, while preaching, on IL stump
near his own cabin. On one Oc'
casiOn he was observed to keep All
anxious eve on his wOlf.trap IN the
edge of the woods. Having given
out his text, he said, hurrlodly:
Mind that text, brethren. Pom
der on It a few minutes, but don't
move band nor foot. There's a wolf
in the pen, and must kill the
gentleman. III preach the ser.
mon as soon as / get back"
Most of the brethren, we fear,
assisted in killing the wolf, leaving
the sisters to ponder on the text.
If there was little reverence in
the pulpit, there was little difference
in the courtroom.
Judge R, famous in Indiana
in early times for his knowledge,
eloquence and extreme ugliness,
ON one occasion ruled "that q Ger.
tain Indictment be quashed because
it was bad on its fsce.'
"Ah Judge ! exclaimed the
worsted lawyer. "lf everything
we're to he Quashed in this court
