the elders of the church conceived that the
young lady's spiritual future. in case of
death, was extremely problematical, and
they accordingly summoned her to appear
before them. She remained obdurate, and
when asked by one of the patriarchs if she
wouldn't like ito be an angel in heaven"
promptly replied, Il prefer to be good
woman on earth" At about this time,
however, her heart spoke, unhidden, in
favor of Mr.. Carleton, a GENTLE, whom she
had just met. The stern bishop refused
to entertain thought of their marriage,
and the young man left Salt Lake City
soon after. A correspondence was kept up
for some time, but finally allowed to lapse.
This occurred nearly quarter of cen
fury ago. Five years ago Miss Snow read
in newspaper that Mr.. Carleton had been
elected to the Wyoming legislature. The
correspondence was renewed and the flame
of love. which had remained dormant for
SO long, broke out afresh, and shortly af
terward, in 1888, they were married. Mrs.
Carleton is a lawyer, and was OF great as
sistance to her father during his lifetime.
Mrs. Therese A. Jenkins, the other al
ternate delegate, is the female orator OF
Wyoming. During the statehood celebra
ton in Cheyenne in $780, her Grafton was
generally conceded to have eclipsed the ef
forts of all the male speakers. Her address
in Boston on woman's suffrage last fall be-
fore the national convention of the W. G..
T. U. was highly complimented by the
press of the country, irrespective of party.
Mrs. Jenkins has never held office, but she
has always taken an active part in the
politics of Wyoming. She is the wife Of
J. F. Jenkins, merchant OF Cheyenne,
whom she first met in 1877, when she be-
came resident of that city. Mrs. jenkins
is the daughter of Peter Parkinson, OF
Fayette county, Wis. Her preliminary
education was obtained in the schools near
her birthplace, and she was graduated
with high honors from the Wisconsin uni
versity in Madison. Mrs. Jenkins Is
handsome woman of modest demeanor.
Like Mrs. Carleton, she is entirely free
from the "mannishness" which is so fire.

THE BRITISH BUILDING.

Mr.. Webb is an old shipbuilder. He has
turned out in his time many of the feet
wooden clipper ships which made the
stars and stripes familiar sight in nearly
every port of the world. Having accumu-
lated fortune, and realizing that others
have been less fortunate, to the extent Of
being now practically dependent upon char
ity, he has deemed it his duty, as it is his
pleasure, to make some provision for tile
comfort of the luckless ones in their de-
clining years. The educational feature of
the institution was happy inspiration.
Another building, differing in purpose,
style of architecture and every essential
particular from the Webb home, but
scarcely less interesting, is the structure
which Great Britain will have at the
Worlds fair. The plans have recently
been brought from England by Colonel G.
r. Grover, of the Royal engineers. 1t
will be an excellent specimen of an English
half timbered residence of the century dur
ing which Columbus made his great voyage
of discovery. While not at all beautiful
on the outside, it will have an interior
arrangement closely approaching perfec-
tion. The building will be constructed of
red bricks, yellow terra Gotta and massive
timbers. The roof will be of red tile.
Half timbered houses became fashionable
in England during the reign of Henry
VIII, between the years 1885 and 1908, when
the use of brick was revived after lapse
of nearly ten centuries.
The cornerstone of what will be an In
teresting structure was laid short time
ago in Garden City, L. l. The new Cathe-
dral School for Boys, as it is to be called, is
tribute to the memory Of the late Mrs.
A. T. Stewart, the widow of the dry goods
multimillionaire. The style of architec-
ture is exceedingly simple, but the build

If you study the market and learn
what kind of butter is wanted now, you
will find there has been change. There
is not rluch demand for butter that will
keep, out for butter that is high favored
and also milk f1avored-a butter that has
no taste of buttermilk. They demand a
butter that has very nearly the same
taste as cream. The whole tendency is
toward getting butter more nearly like
cream, getting butter that is very nearly
the same as fresh cream. We have al
most reached the point where public
taste demands butter made from sweet
cream. - Professor Cooke before Yer

a wax f1gufe 81 An emperor Heheaded.
There are men employed at the Eden
Musee whose business it is to comb the
hair of the wax figures, keep their faces
and necks clean, and brush their clothes.
This is supposed to be done out of BUSH
ness hours, but occasionally some of the
helpers get caught. One of these things
which some people call funny coin
cident happened the very day that Bis
marck resigned. The young man who
had charge Of the crowned head wax
department, without any knowledge Of
what was going on in Germany. went
among the crowned wax heads with
brush and comb.
The heads of these figures are fastened
on in such way that they can be easily
removed. 1t was therefore a funny 60
incident that on the day the young Ger
man emperor accepted the resignation
of the old Iron Chancellor the young
hair brusher of the Musee took off the
head of the young emperor to comb and
brush the hair. 1t was still funnier

fore them beheaded. Chicago Tribune.

Food of Hebrews.

A rabbi of Montreal says that the low
death rate among Jews is owing to their
adherence to the Mosaic law, which per-
mits for use as food only the flesh of such
animals as divide the hoof and chew the
cud. In the killing of these animals the
strictest examination had to be made to
prevent the communication of disease to
man. As to fish, the Jews only eat those
with both fins and scales, and oysters, in
his opinion, are simply the ''scavengers
of the sea-" HOLSTERS, crabs and other
crustacea are likewise tabooed.-Chicago

On one occasion, in company with my
brother, had gone to the woods and
was there to wais for farmer. at whose
house we had stopped over night, and
who was to come on later with fox
hounds, for we were to try for reynard
that%ay. We had got out Of the road,
which ran through the forest, and over
rail fence, and were standing under a
large helnlock, when we heard a ruff1ed
grouse in the distance. He came direct
~ toward us, and aiighted on the ground
about forty feet away. There was a
small gully or water course between us
and the bird. Before he struck the
ground he had taken about two-thirds
of circle to break his lightning like
flight.
As soon as he Lit he Strengthened up
and took survey. He soon saw US,
but instead of again flying he swelled up
in most pompous manner. Never had
seen a grouse appear larger or more
magnificent. My brother looked at me
and | suggested that he snap cap at
him. Neither of our muzzle leaders was
charged. At the sound of the first cap
the grouse slightly shook himself, but
seemed to swell his breast out more
My brother continued taking caps from
his pocket and swapping them at the
grouse, bringing his gun up each time
and taking deliberate aim until nine
were exploded. The grouse seemed to
like the sound and to be fascinated by
it and the scene generally. The man
coming down the road with the dogs
alarmed him, and, turning, he ran sew
eral feet and took wing, and we heard
him going through the thick evergreens
away in the distance. = Forest and

St. cuthbert, the woman Halter

St. Cuthbert would have no female
creature about his place at Landisfarne,
not suffering even cow, saying;
"Where there is COW there must be a
woman, and where there is woman
there must be mischief" In the cathe-
dral at Durham, dedicated to him, a
black cross in the pavement marked the
spot beyond which no woman was al
lowed to pass. In 1888 Edward LII and
his queen went to the priory at Durham
and lodged together.
In the middle of the night monk
broke into their room and rudely awak-
ened the royal pair, saying to the queen
that ST. Cuthbert loved not the sex and
that she must up and go. The queen
tumbled out of bed and spent the rest of
the night in the church, praying for par
don to the patron saint, whom she had
offended. In 1417 two servant girls
dressed themselves as men and ''impi-
ously approached the saints shrine,
only to be severely handled by the au-
thorities.-St. Louis Republic.

Nby the skin OF it's teeth" The man to
whom the women Of the baby state are in
dehted for the privilege Of being permitted
- vote IS now clerk in the mailing de-
partment in Washington. His name Is
John Bright, and he has had the pleasure
OF seeing his pet project stand the test Of =
trial OF nearly quarter of century, with
the probability that it will be lasting, mas
much as it was included in the constitu-
ton when Wyoming was admitted to state
hood. When the territory was organized
Bright was keeping saloon vt the South
Pass City mining camp. He was not very
well educated, but he was one of those
men who seem to be born to be politicians.
He possessed great force of character, and
found comparatively little difficulty in
getting his neighbors to elect him to the
upper branch Of the legislature, Of which
be became the presiding officer.
Bright was an enthusiastic woman suf-
fragist, and although his wife opposed the
measure he succeeded in getting his bill
through both branches without dissent
ing vote. The members were dumfound-
ed. Most OF them had supported the meas
ure to oblige Bright, arguing that the
''darned thing couldn't go through any
how But it became a law, nevertheless,
and Bright was happy. In the second
legislature bill repeating the act was
passed and vetoed by Governor Campbell.
Then there was an effort to override the
veto, and when careful ember-to-mem
Der canvass was made by the leading wom-
an suffragists of the territory it was found
that their opponents were exactly strong
enough to accomplish thei purpose. The
ladies required one vote, and they sensibly
concentrated their efforts on one member,
who of course succumbed, and the law Of
franchise remained as it had been. Since
then it has not been interfered with, and
the women of Wyoming have consequently
held many offices of Importance, and with
great credit to themselves too. But their
browning honor came recently, when the
Republican state convention elected as al
ternate delegates to the national nominal
