around as we'll as anyone in the house. On
the m orning OF that day he would loiter
about the kitchen DOR until he was fed,
and an soon rs he heard the note of prepar-
ing-the bringing in of cream jugs, prepar-
ing the chur II, etc.-he would put for the
woods and would not be seen again until
night.
next morning a more crestfallen and aston
lshed dog was never seen when he was col
Jared and harnessed to the beam which set
the dash in motion; he looked positively
foolish. He did his work, but with lowered
head and in coQitation evidently.
O another occasion he tried another
| dodge. When they were about to put him
on the wheel he ran up to his mistress,
holding up one paw, affecting to be lame.
She thought much Of the dog, and was in
| clined to let him off that day. The next
instant he was seen charging over a high
fence after a neighbours cat, WELL said
| the old lady, If he can go after q cat like
that be is able to churn.' And he did, and
never tried to shirk his work again."

A VIEW OF IT

Rev. a. A johnson, a Methodist
minister Of Cheyenne, has been elected
president OF the university says the Ian
der Clipper. Il is not agreeable news,
We do not believe that a minister, act
lively engaged IN preaching, can have
kept himself in touch with the liberal and
progressive educational spirit Of the time;
he has o had time or opportunity to do
so. We do not believe a Methodist
minister can be a frSt-clrss ~iuancier
The university president must be that in
order to bring 1t success. Aud lastly we
think it altogether out Of place for a
Methodist minister to step direct from the
pulpit OF a sectarian church to the prcsl-
dents room Of a state university. He
cannot avoid taking with him i~nclinatrous
and tendencies that will work harm 70 a
great, free. state institution. Neither
wa it a good sign Tor him to agree before

when requested by four Of the board Of
trustees. In sounded too much like

hope that Mr.. Johnson's acts will prove
~il-grounded all these fears.

A STRAIGHT STORY
History of the Authcr of oman
Suffrage Perfectly Correct.

lChrye nne sun
The most truthful account of the origin
Of woman suffrage in Wyoming that has
yet been published appeared IN THE
LEADER OF last Sunday To WIN II.
Bright, the president Of the first legis.
lative council, belongs the homer Of
originating and putting through the
measure. Col Bright was dead in earnest;
but it mus, be admitted that he used
much DISSEMINATION with his associate
members. Born and raised in Kentucky
he did not have the advantages Of a free
school, and his parents being poor his
educate on was cxcccdrnlY limited. He
cmiRrated East aud brought up at Wash
inEton where he acquired a certain species
OF political knowledge that was useful to
him when be went to the first Wyoming
legislature. One Of the incidents OF Lie
Washington life was the introduction of a
resolution at a meeting of the volunteer
fire department that every member
contribute a dollar to the establishment
and maintenance ola free school. The
resolution was adopted and enforced for
many years Afterwards.
Col. Bright did not let any member of
the legislature into his woman suffrage
scheme, but three days prior to its pas
sage he assured the editor Of the Sun
that 1T was all right, " as he had the
votes to put it through
This information was impaired TO US in
strict confidence. We had but a few
moments interview with Mr.. Bright, be-
ing en- route 70 Chicago. but the result
confirmed all that be had predicted.
Mrs. Bright. who is living with her hus-
band in Washington, was highly educated,
but quite modest 10 regard TO her attain
ments aud did not vote more than once
before leaving Wyoming. She has never
evinced any desire to nave public notoriety
of any kind, but Is content to be the
faithful wife Of a devoted husband and
enjoy the quiet comforts OF home lite,
however humble they may be.
The modesty OF Col Bright regarding
his achievement is remarkable. Had it
been some men whom We know OF, twenty
two years would not have passed bv
without publication OF the part he had
taken IN tina. memorable event

Another big appropriation secured by
our delegation in has failed away
The Lander Clipper says: The report
that congress had appropriated $500
for the construction Of a road from Fort
Washakie to the park was half believed
for a time, since people were very willing
to believe 1t. But it turns out 10 be a
myth. We have received from Washing.
ton a copy of the law that makes the
appropriation in question, and which re-
cites that it will be expended for the re.
pair. maintenance, relocation and com
pletion OF roads, bridges and paths already
IN use and necessary to reach objects OF
interest in the park.

blood is due a great variety of ills
that make life a burden.
al the year round, you may rely

Discovery to purify the blood and
