Mr.. Cannon could no, recall ever having
seen him before, aud the stranger laugh
ingly said: Il thought not. but for all
that occupied the next cell to you in
Harold Court jail, Dublin 81 years ago.
You are not D. B. Condon?" re-
marked Cannon N amazement, as he re-
gsrded the gentleman from head to foot.
That's just what am" was the re
ply; bat it Was not until G4nnon's eyes
fell upon peculiarly shaped cane of

that he was reHily convinced that it was
so.

A Poetic Sentiment Originally Addressed

A Poetic Sentiment Originally Addressed
to a Davenport Citizen.
Look here, remarked a well>known
Davenporter Saturday, as he held out a
bottle of fl ne looking old whiskey in the
original package. His remark was adj
dressed to the Democrat scribe, and the
latter looked as he was bid. There was
no invitation to "smile Attention was
simply called to the bottle on account of
the label, which the newspaper msn was
invited to read. 1t bore the following
poetic sentiment:
<x* is the most wonderful whiskey
that ever drove the skeleton from q feast
or painted landscapes In the brain of
man. 1t is the mingled sOuls Of wheat
and corn. In it you will find the sun
shine and the shadow that chased each
other over the billowy fields; the breath
of June; the carol Of the lark; the dews
of night; the wealth Of summer and
autumns rich content, all golden with
imprisoned light. Drink il and you will
hear the voices of men and maidens sing
the ''HarSes, Home" mingled with the
laughter of children. Drink it and you
will feel within your blood the starlit
dswns, the dreamy. tawuy dusks of
many perfect days. For many years
this liquid JOY has been within the happy
slaves of oak, longing 10 touch the lips
of men.
There was a sound of familiarity in the
lines and the light broke on the scribes
mystified countensnce. Those words
had been previously published in the
Democrat as part of letter that accom-
panied a jug of 1.-The best" that was pre-
seuted to the late George h. French of
that city by Robert j. lDgersoll. In
some manner copy of the Democrat
containing this letter, which was pub
lished at the time the gift was received,
must have fallen into the hands of Gin
cinnati liquor house, which has engrafted
the sentiment onto its labels.

She was fair--and my passion begun!
She smiled-and could not but love.
But when from afar detected catarrh,
No eauty my passion could move!
In despair she sought doctors in vain,
Till she learned of "Humanity's loom"
Now her breath is as sweet as the dew
Which falls upon roses in June.
Tonight, as we sit in our home,
And kiss her sweet lips DER and DER,
We bless DR.. Sage in orr bliss,
For the joy that he brought to our door.

THE FORTY DAYS FAST.
The Season of Self Denial Which Begins
This Week

The Season of Self Denial Which Begins
This Week
The Lenten season begins Wednesday.
which is Ash Wednesday. To-day is Collop
Monday, so called because the ancieuts
had a custom on this day of cutting beef
into collops or shJeds and hanging it up to
dry for use at Easter. Tomorrow is
Shrove Tuesday. when all sinners are
supposed to confess their transeressions
and seek for dissolution. Everybody has
sins enough to make the day a very busy
one.
Lent is q movable fest. depending on
the phases of the moon. This fact alone
proves it's heather origin. The word
Lent in its origin means spring and the
LeDten tide is but another expression for
spring tide. Lent is derived from the
Anglo-Ssxon "lencten." to grow longer,
signifying that the days are frightening
and the spring time drawing near.
The ancient Persisns and almost every
other nation of antiquity celebrated
similar fast of 40 days duration. Ash
Wednesday as Christian in 7titutien was
first heard of during the time OF Pope
Gregory.
But, be the origin of the Lenten season
what it may, the practices which it incul-
Gates are beneficial. Self denial and self
control are mostly manly virtues in them
selves. And if they be exerted in the
direction of judiciously curtailing the
amount and the kind of food eater the
result will be in most cases. an improve
nent in physical as well as spiritual well
being.

The Buford Block.
The fat tin root on the Buford build
ing 1T the corner of Second avenue and
Seventeenth street began leaking yester
day afternoon and Fl Ioded the four floors
below. The water ran through the two
top floors down into the Office of the
Volk, Zeitung where it did considerable
damage and also flooded the rear portion
of KingsburY's Fair store below where it
damaged toys and stock TO some ,x'ent.
The latter store also suffered loss on
Saturday night from the front windows
being flooded by water from the story
ab We where the water n one of the
Offices had been left running. The build.

THE Photographers, CONVENTION.
The Utah Division Trying to Secure tn
Next One for Salt Lake City.

The Utah Division Trying to Secure the
Next One for Salt Lake City.
The eighth annual convention of the
order of Railroad Telegraphers convenes
at Toronto on the 156h of May, and will
remain in session at least one week. The
Utah division of the order is trying to Sc
cure the ninth annual convention to be
held in Salt Lake city, and with this object
in view, the three delegates from Utah are
working. Last year the convention was
held in Chattanooga, Tenn, at which over
three hundred delegates from the United
States, Mexico and Canada were in atten-
dance. This year it is expected there will
be at least four hundred in attendance,
and next year about five hundred.
1t Will be readily seen what benefit
will accrue to Salt Lake, as most of
these telegraphers are also railwayiticket
agents, and should the convention come
to this city it would be grand advertise
ment, as being the only city west of the
Missouri river to secure a convention OF
telegraph operators. Although other
western cities have previously been can
didates, they have all agreed to unite
upon Salt Lake city.
The telegraphers are DESTROYS that the
ness Mems association, the mayor and
the governor extend their invitations to
the order to hold the convention in this
city, The Order of Railroad Telegraphers
was organized in Vinton, Ia. in June,
1886, and became a protective order at
their convention in st. Louis in 1891, and
has since had remarkably rapid growth,
numbering at present 25, 900 members, the
west being organized almost to
man. The Utah division having
membership of over two hundred.
Agreements and raise in salary were
granted on thirty different railway lines
during the year of 1892, among them
being the Union Pacific, Santa Fe, North
ern Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande, Colo
RADIO Midland, the Missouri Pacific and
others, thus comprising the largest sys-
TENS in the west. In the east, the Penn
sylvania lines, the Baltimore & Ohio and
the Vanderbilt lines. The order is also
benevolent associatio and aims to ele-
vate the standard of its members to
higher plane; and TO secure the public
recognition they deserve as intelligent,
sober and industrious workmen, merit
ing the great confidence the public
places in them whenever they entrust to
them their property or their persons for
transportation.
1t will be a great honor to Salt Lake to
secure their next convention, and we be-
lieve we voice the general sentiment when
we extend to them our hearty invitation.
