"What is it, my child?'' he asked, lay
Ing his hand on her hair. "A lovers
puarrsl?"
"Yes, she whispered. 1.-The FIRST we
have ever had"
well, well. we all know that lovers
never part after first quarrel" he
said, in quiet matter-of-fact tone that
Gained her nerves. "What was it all

ask?'
lit arose out of very simple speech
of mine which seemed to annoy
Michael" answered Olive, her cheeks
flushing and paling as she recalled the
afternoons experience. 1--WE were sit
ting under the trees in Kew Gardens,
and / asked him if we could possibly be
happier than we were then?"
michael took offense because YOU
were too easily contented. and one word
followed another?~ said Uncle Wake.
Yes" Olive considered for mo-
ment, and then repeated all that she
could remember of the conversation.
Afterwards a silence fell upon them
both, and the roll of wheels in the
Strand sounded but family in their ears.
1t was Olive who broke the pause.
If | could only believe that this was
merely difference of opinion. and not
difference of spirit, should be cas-
Ter, she said. but Michael seems to
think that my ideal life is an absurd
dream. He cannot realize any kind of
happiness that is not founded on self
interest alone. He cannot comprehend
any JOY outside himself Oh. how hor-
tible 1t seems to say these things about
the man whom l love with all my
heart Help me, Uncle Wake, speak
kind words and comfort me-
This was an appeal which samuel
had not expected 70 hear for many a
day. He had not known that Olive had
been rapidly gaining powers of pene-

CHATTER Y

HOW THE OLD. OLD THIS ARE LoOsENED."
Olive lived cheerfully on that brief
note all through the week Michael
had forgiven her, and the world was
bright again.
He came TO see her on Sunday after
noon, but the visit was short. Edward
Battersby had claimed him for the
evening. All his dreams were about to
be realized, success was within his
grasp, and Olive listened to his eNplana-
tions with wonder and delight There
was no doubt rs TO the working OF his
new plan; it had already been tested
with the most satisfactory results. and
was to have a longer and fuller trial.
Meanwhile Edward Battersby was
overwhelming him with tokens of
good will. Everyone in the works was
aware Of his eYgltation; he was to re-
ceive moro substantial rewards later
on, but even now he was recognized as
a person of the highest Importance.
What does Aaron say to all this?"
asked Olive, when Michael paused to
take breath. Il wish he would come
and see me-"
Michael frowncd impatiently.
Why do you think of Aaron?" he
said; The was always a gloomy fool
who could not help himself, and lately
he has been insufferable."
He is unhappy. Michael" Her face
was troubled. You see. he has lone
been wanting TO make a home for
Jane, and when they lowered his wages
he lost heart. But now that your sue
cess is assured, dear, you will be kind
to him?"
Kind TO him" Michael repeated
angrily. Il shall bc heartily glad to
see the last of him, and hear Che last CT
his Numbering talk about old times"
But he was our early friend" she
said sadly, and there is poor Jane to
be considered"
Il don't know why should consider
Jane, returned Michael loftily. "She
certainly has no claim on me. But this

gratitude. She did not think less of
Michael, nor was she less lowly in
mind, but she had begun to use GER
tam faculties which had been undevel-
oped in her village home.
She had learned lately that there arc
ce-taiA aspirations which cannot be
Stified, even ut loves command, with
ont sef-dcgradation. Truly he who
findeth mis- life in this world only, shall
lose it; the worship of things that per-
ish in the using destroys all spiritual
life in the worshiper. Olive had found
out this truth.
When she lay down to rest that night
she fell into peaceful sleep. and
dreamed of the old downs and fields of
her childhood. Michael was roaming
with her through those calm meadows,
rich with the purple and gold of sum
mer. He was once more the younger
and simpler Michael of the past; they
were happy in the old-fashioned way of
rustic lovers. Then Jane and Aaron
joined them, and they followed the
course of the rivulet through the grass,
and laughed for very gladncss of heart.
She awokc suddenly in the light of a
London day, with that rcam-laughter
ringing in her ears. And then all the
bitterness of yesterday came back like
flood, and She remembered that she
and Michael had driftcd apart
But downstairs there was the every
day life awaiting her, full of its whole

books he had given her would have
done their work so soon. And how
could he dare soothc her with false
comfort. or give her the broken reed of

Very Thin Tales.

Some of the Denver papers are trying to
boom THOMAS NJ. PATTERSON for United
States Senator from Wyoming. 1t looks
as though the PopuIists win hold the bal
ance OF power in the legislature of that
state, whichever party gains the day in
the present contest in the courts. Mr..
PATTERSON is prominent figure in Colo
RADIO politics, and his paper, the Rocky
Mountain Neacs, did more perhaps than
any other agency towards defeating the
Republicans both IN Wyoming and Colo
rado. Mr.. PATTERSON has worked hard
in Wyoming, personally, to defeat the
scheme for the capture of the legislature
by the Republicans.
A story is now going the rounds, being
sent over the wires in press dispatches, to
the effect that PATTERSON has been TO see
CLEVELAND and an arrangement has been
made whereby PATTERSON is to be an
ardent supporter of CLEVELAND in Colo
RADIO, and in return he is to be made
United States Senator from Wyoming.
PATTERSON heretofore has been bitter
opponent of CLEVELAND.
There is one obstacle to all this which
the circulators of these improbable stories
have not seemingly taken into account.
Under provision of the constitution of
the United States no person can be a
Senator who is not an inhabitant of the
state in which he is elected. Mr.. PAT
TERsoN is a well known inhabitant of
Colorado and man cannot have two
legal domiciles at the same time.
What ''support'' CLEVELAND desires
in Colorado, just now or in the future,
does not seem very clear. And how he
could promise a senatorship from any
state in the Union, to PATTERSON or any,
body else, with an assurance of it's fulfill
ment is no easier to see than the other
proposition. In all probability the two
stories come from the same source; they
are Republican inventions and therefore
of no value or reliability.

Mormon Divorces.

We publish in another column partic-
ulars of pension case which has brought
up some of the old customs in this terri
tory. A word or two in explanation will
be necessary that there may be no mis-
understanding as to the facts. Utah now
has a marriage law, statutes having been
passed several years ago by the legisla-
tive assembly, of stringent character,
requiring license to be issued and a GER
emory to be performed, designating who
may solemnize marriage and providing
penalties for unlawful marriages. Previous
to the passage of these statutes the COM
mon law prevailed in the territory. After
their enactment they took it's place, of
course. The conditions referred to in
the case before the commissioner of
pensions were those existing before
these marriage laws were passed.
That which is mentioned in the case as
ssChurch divorce was never intended to
take the place of legal divorce in the
courts. In early times in the territory
the probate courts had jurisdiction in di-
vorce cases, and the rules were not as
strict as they have been under later laws.
Divorces are now granted only in the dis
trict courts under statutory restrictions.
Ths Church divorce was an agreement
OF separation by the parties, on consent
of the President of the Mormon Church
and related only to the ecclesiastical cere-
mony and the relationship growing out of
it. The parties to the marriage being
Church members and the Church cere-
mony being performed when it was con-
tracted, it required the sanction of the
Church to make the separation as ecclesI-
astically complete as the marriage. But
when the wife was legal wife it re-
quired the decree of competent legal
court to dissolve the marriage under the
laws.
In the case of plural wife there was no
need for a legal divorce, because there
was no marriage recognized by the law.
A decree could not be obtained in such
case for there was nothing in view of the
law to dissolve. The church divorce,
then. was the only form OF proof Of a sep
aration that the parties could obtain. It
was simple agreement Of dissolution, as
will be seen from its text, but having the
sanction Of the authorities by which the
marriage was permitted. it was regarded
by the parties as of equal authority as
their agreement to wedlock and the terms
Of it as binding upon them for the future.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-12-28
Utah Is In It.

The Florida Times Union in discussing
the admission of New Mexico, Arizona
and Utah into the Union as States ex
presses its views very plainly as to the
reasons why obstacles have been placed in
their way. 1t considers the Republicans
OF late years have displayed on this ques-
lion ''an extremely fine sense of pro-
priety'' and says:
Washington, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming all
went Repu blican in 1888, and the Repub-
licans in Congress deemed it proper to
admit them all to statehood, and did
admit them. New Mexico and Arizona
went Democratic in 1888, and the Repub-
hcans deemed it highly improper tc grant
them statehood, and refused TO do so, in
timating that their population was in a
state OF semi-barbarism.
The same paper thinks that there is no
doubt that those Democratic territories
will be admitted next Congress, and that
their six senators will be an Offset to those
from Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. As
to Utah it argues:
There is no reason in Directing longer
to the admission of Utah on account of
polygamy. The late election in that ter
ritory showed that the Mormon church
had ceased TO influence its politics. The
territorial legislature has passed an act
prohibiting polygamy. Utah has q set
tied population Of 207 905, which is as
orderly and thrifty as that of any other
state.
These remarks show the drift OF public
sentiment and the change in public feel
ing toward Utah. The real obstacle, too,
which has heretofore prevented that JUS
tice which ought to have been done years
ago is also understood. The plank on
the territories in the Chicago platform is
understood to be pledge Of the Demo-
cratic party to secure their admissioE and
Utah is recognized as included in that
general pledge.
