Eating severnI NIeaI. a Day.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come 20 this country they
find it extremely difficult TO accommo-
date themselves TO the current American
custom Of eating but three meals day.
An English maidservant and nurse, who
lived 20 be more than 100 years old,
Bverred that she had always been accus-
toned 20 "a dew bit and breakfast, a
stray bit and dinner, a nommet, a crum-
met, and a bit after supper" Extra
meals are common enough during tho
harvest season in this country. The hasty
breakfast at 1880 in the morning is fol
lowed by "stray bit" at o'clock and
by luncheon between the MONDAY din
ner and the after sunset supper. In parts
Of southern Pennsylvania the dinner
hour is II o'clock in the morning, and it
would not be difficult TO show that
Americans living ON the same meridian
are dining all the way from that hour
until in the evening. The great mass
Of country folk still dine at noon.--New
York Sun,

The University.

The University OF Utah, in issuing its
catalogue for 1884, gives full details OF
the purposes and work of the institution
and information as to the courses to be
taken, the mode OF admission, books and
implements in use, and all particulars of
interest to the public and intending pu-
pills.
In addition an offer is made of courses
OF reading and study for nonresident
students. These will be supplemented by
lectures delivered by members of the lac
ulty to parties engaging to pay the ex-
penses OF the lecturer for travel and en-
tertainment. These courses and lectures
viii be found of very great value to teach
ers and others who desire to pursue
higher studies and are not able to attend
the University classes. This is an oppor-
tunity that should not be thrown away.
A full list OF the courses of study, with
the names of the professors in charge,
and the books that are necessary to be
purchased is published in pamphlet form
and can be obtained on application to
the University. Examinations will be
conducted and certificates issued to per-
sons successfully passing, at the regular
closing examinations.
The University is now on more sub
stantial footing, better equipped for its
legitimate purposes, and farther advanced
as an educational institution than ever
since its establishment. Commenced in
the days OF Utah s poverty, it has grown
steadily in every respect, until now it is
approaching the eminence and useful
ness intended ct its incipiency, but i'm
possible without the aid which has since
come to it from the territorial funds.
The University of Utah does not pre-
tend to be perfect university. But it is
an educational establishment of high
grade, and has some most accomplished
scholars as its preceptors, who are capable
of conducting students to as exalted a
scholastic position as Utah pupils expect
to reach, unless it may lie in very few
exceptional instances.
1t has the advantage of all other Utah
colleges in being at the head of the public
school system OF the territory and there
fore free Institution. 1t should be
literally supported and its facilities en-
larged as the population increases. Ii is
deserving of all praise and is monument
to the spirit OF progress which has always
been active IN Utah, but of late years has
found so much greater opportunities fol
growth and the spread of its influence.

Not Altogether a Fable.

Some of the subscribers to The HERALD
who live in Montana desire information
through these columns concerning Eng
lands patron saint, st. GEORGE, and the
Dragon with which his name is init
mateiy associated. They also compliment
The HERALD on its present standard OF
excellence. We appreciate the good
words and will briefly answer the cues
ton.
There are two legends in reference to st.
GEORGE and the Dragon; one in
SPENcER's ''Faery Queen" the other in
PERcY's ''Reliques. According to the
first, the Red Cross Knight and UNA al
ter passing through number OF adven-
lures, encountered the dragon at the en-
trance to Eden. where three davis
struggle ensued, the dragon was killed
and the pair gained entrance when thew
were joined in matrimony. The story is
allegorical, UNA standing for truth and
the whole adventure representing the tri-
umph OF right over every obstacle.
In the latter ballad ST. GEORGE is re-
presented to have been the son of the
Lord OF Coventry, and that he was stolen
by witch Of the woods, his mother hav.
ing died at his birth. His body was
marked with dragon on the breast, q

Fruits of a Feud.

The news that came through the Doug
las, Wyoming, Budget, that few days
ago q claim house and fifteen hundred
posts piled up on Major WoLcoTT's ranch
had been set on fire during the night and
destroyed, confirms the idea expressed by
THE HERALD that the last of the Gin
yasion" affair had not been heard from.
The gentleman to whom the place be-
longs where the fire was set was one OF
the leaders of the raid into Johnson
county which resulted so disastrously
but which was never pressed to full ju-
dicial investigation. There are many
vows of vengeance recorded in the souls
of men who feel that justice has been
cheated of its dues, and those who were
principally engaged in that affair are
markedas the objects OF that revenge.
Two attempts were made to fire the
WoLCoTT property, but enc was discov-
cred and the fire extinguished. The Sec
ond effort succeeded. The posts were
piled to fence in some land Major VOL
coTT had leased from the state.
The killing of DUDLEY CHAMPION by
MIKE SHoNsEY was one of the results OF
the enmity growing out of the invasion.
s new version of that homicide is given
by the Lusk Herald 1t states that cow
puncher named GEORGE LACEY related
particulars of the shooting as told to him
by an eyewitness, to the effect that
CHAMPION merely called "HelIo, MIKE, y
when SHoNsEy deliberately drew his re
volver and fired, CHAMPION topping
from his horse to the ground, without
drawing his gun or making any offensive
motion.
If that is true, the shooting was wilful
murder, and further investigation ought
to be had. It's doubtful, however, if any
thing more will be done about il by the
representatives OF the law. It is not like
ly to end with the premature discharge OF
SHoNsEY. There are living and deter
mined relatives and friends of the CHAM
PIoNs who have fallen, and they will not
let the matter rest where it is.
We mention the shooting in connection
with the arson, because they are out
growths of the same lawlessness. The
latest CHAMPION killing came from the
invaders side, the burning of WoLcoTT's
property came from the other. They are
evidences of the feeling that exists and
the feud that is not ended Wyoming
will have much more trouble unless such
occurrences are traced up and justice is
permitted to claim its own.

DENVER, THROUGH committee of as
sociated boards OF trade of Colorado, is
taking steps to maintain commissioner
at Chicago whose business will be to at
tract the attention of tourists to the for
mer city. A man Of energy and influence,
not seeking employment for the cash re-
turns, an organizer of executive ability,
is wanted. To carry out the plan the
sum OF $4,000 is named, apportioned to
the different cities and towns No doubt
this will be raised. The real estate and
business men of Denver are very active
and intelligent and their public spirit is
to be admired and emulated.

SPEAKING OF the Democrats, McKIN-
LEY in his vote-begging speech at Column
bus yesterday, said:
If they do as they promised they will
revise the tariff on the British free trade
basis, striking out many industries and
making protitless millions of capital and
throwing thousands of workingmen out
of employment.
This is a miserable attempt to make
ignorant persons believe that the Demo
Gratis have promised to ''revise the tariff
on the British free trade basis,' when
every fifteen year old school-boy knows
that the Democratic policy is reform, not
abolition, of the tariff, and that the Dem
ocratic party looks upon free trade as an
utter lmpossibility.

single word IN press dispatch and build
upon it whole columns of inference and
invective, but it will not postpone con-
sideration of the tariff when the financial
question has been taken up. Nor will it
justify the assumption either that the
President is foe to silver or that he I'M
derrates the Importance OF tariff reform.
on which his views are as pronounced as
those of any political economist in the
land.
Ii there is special session OF Congress
in September it will probably endeayor
to dispose of the financial menace TO the
country's good first, and then there will
be no disposition to shelve any other
matter of public Importance, when Re-
publican critics will find plenty of occa-
sion to talk. 1t would look more sensible
on their part to wait for something tangi-
BILE instead of indulging in SO much evil
anticipation.

The OHIO state convention appears to
be picked and salSeddown MCKINLEY
affair, varied with the perennial FORAKER
disturbance. MCKINLEY has not made a
popular governor. his life as congress-
man not having helped him in the per-
torrance OF his executive duties. Many
of his best friends have been disappoint-
ed, and there has been much whispering
in regard to the manner in which public
business has been conducted by the gov

MoKINLEY's OLD story about opposi-
ton to high protective tariff striking
out many industries and making profit
less millions OF capital'' finds timely
rejoinder in the letter of Southern Re
publican, quoted by MURAT HALsTEAD
in the New York Herald of last Sunday:
The appeal for high tariff-"war taxes"
of the past-was the shibboleth of the
campaign. Was it reasonable expecta-
ton to count it the one needed appeal for
our people at large? Smacked it not in
appearance largely of additional tribute
in aid of the millionaire? Was not the
ground issue, in fact, chiefly centered in
mammon?
In view of this legislation for the rich,
how absurd for MCKINLEY to pirate about
the Democratic tariff reform policy

garter below one knee and a red cross on
one arm. He was brought up to arms
and the chase, fought against the Cara
Gems, and going to Libya encountered a
huge dragon, near Sylene, which was
about to devour SABRA, the daughter OF
La king. Many maidens had fallen a
victim to the monster. but ST. GEORGE
fought it and slew it by thrusting his
lance into its mouth. The king OF Nor
rocco conspired with the King of Egypt
to prevent ST. GEORGE from marrying
SABRA and sent him to Persia, where ne
was thrown into prison, but ultimately
escaped with SABRA to England, where
try.
More veritable history states that the
good ST. GEORGE, whose picture was
placed by King ARTHUR on his banners
in the sixth century, was England's pa
tron saint in Saxon times, his festival
was observed as national holiday at
least as early as 1922, and in 1880 he was
made the patron of the Order of the Gar
ter. 1t is admitted that there was such
a person, that he was born in Armorica
and was a Christian martyr, having been
beheaded under DIoCLETIAN's rule April
sd, 303. This description is related by
several ecclesiastical writer's, among them
ST. JEROME, ST. GREGORY and the ven
cradle BEDE.
The dragon slain by him is supposed to
be an allegory to illustrate the triumph of
the Christian hero over the dragon of
evil, that being common figure to rep
resent the conflict between the two powers,
and the final victory of the right. St.
Georges Channel is named after him, he
was looked upon as the soldiers patron
saint in English olden times and the 23d
of April was called st. Georges day and
was held as minor festival.
Those customs have become obsolete
and st. George and the dragon are looked
upon as mere legendary fctions. But
there is good reason to believe that ST.
George was a veritable valiant Christian,
who died for his faith and was therefore
held in honor when that faith prevailed in
Britain. In poetic imagery he stands as
the figure for truth, and the dragon for
error, which is to be finally overcome and
the world be rid of it's pestilential breath
and destructive presence.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely sell ng
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Compauy's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewa rded for doiny il. The prize ia only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without IL. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-One tn at will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies IL only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of ths idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and pOpu-
lartty, will get the Press Claims Company
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.
