THE DILEMMA OF A GAY SALT
IAkER.
He Figures in "A Mock Marriage with
a brigham City Grass Widow
General Items.

A handsome young dude of Salt Lake
and fascinating grass widow of
Brigham city will remember New
Years day for long time to come.
At a sociable, they dared each other
to a mock marriage. Both being i'm
bued with the idea that "he who will
take a dare will steal Sheep" the
challenge was accepted. A fun-loving
gentleman was present who drew up
marriage license and the contracting
parties gave their names. ages, ETC.,
and signed the document, whereupon
the said gentleman attached his SEAL
being notary public. At sight of the
official seal a lump jumped into the
throat Of the mock groom, but with a
master effort he quelled the rising
fear and set his teeth. resolved not to
be the first to show the white feather
Now they were ordered to stand up,
Joined hands and the marriage rites
were pronounced upon their heads by
young man who forgot that he was
an officer of the church and compe-
tent to join two hearts with the indis-
soluble bonds of matrimony. The cere-
mony performed and the kissing over,
some callous hearted individual ventur-
ed the remark that the mock mar
rage lust performed was in fact le-
notary and the ceremony performed by
one legally qualified. At this revelation
the dude who has a sweetheart in
Salt Lake. turned deathly pale and
sought the friendly support of a chair.
The blushing bride, however, looked
upon the whole affair only as Joke
and immensely enjoyed the groom's
discomforture. The question was ser
iously discussed and as the possibili-
ties of the legality of the ceremony
became apparent the groom grew more
uneasy and his spirits finally sank
down into his very boots. The merri-
ment at his expense was boundless.
He threatened the crowd. But even
to this day he has vague apprehen-
'sions gnawing at his heart, not only
of a wife and her two bouncing young
children claiming his support these
hard times. but also the vision of a
breach of promise suit stares him in
the face.-Brigham Bugler.

A common Kind of yuIrarity.

A gentlemen of wealth, culture and
refinement recently rented his fine and
beautifully furnished country resi-
dence for a short season to a family of
high social standing and wealth equal
to his own. Before the term was out
for which it had been rented he ex-
pressed privately to a friend his cha
grin and disappointment at finding that
his tenants instead of being, as he sup
posed, people of refinement and cul-
ture, were really a set of vulgarians
In reply to an inquiry as to what had
caused him to so alter his opinion he
replied: They have no sense what
ever of the value of beauty or of beau
tiful things; they are as destructive as
Vandals. The gentleman of the house
bitches his horses to my choice orna-
mental and fruit trees and pastures
them on my front lawn. The mistress
of the house permits her laundreSs to
fasten clothes lines on the shrubbery
branches and to throw hot suds on the
grass Every article in the house shows
signs of abuse; the beautifully polished
woodwork. especially the window seats
are scratched and marred. Thewaste
pipes are allowed to become clogged
and the water to overflow and leak
through and spoil delicate wall paper
left open, and the sun and rain are
both allowed to stream in to the ruin
of my carpets; window screens are left
out, and flies ineffaceably injure my
picture frames, chandeliers, and other
delicate and beautiful things. There is
no excuse, no palliation; the whole Sc
cret is that they are inherently vul-
gar"
The gentlemen's language was en-
phatic. but probably just. There is an
element of inherent vuigarity in the
abuse or destruction of beautiful
things. We are offended but not sur
prised when we see this destructiveness
and vandalism exhibited by street boys
who delight in sending a stone slvlv
through a costly stained glass window
or in cutting or disfguring doorways
and pillars of fine public buildings. The
law. however, can reach these; but no
law can reach the vulgarian who will
wantonly abuse and break and deface
beautiful things which are provided
for the convenience and comfort of life
The tenant who in one season can so
disfgure and abuse a handsomely fur
niShed house as to make it an offense
to the eye, or who breaks or defaces
with indifference articles of use or
beauty provided in the furnishing of
a home, demonstrates beyond question
that he is destitute of the first elements
of refinement and culture. This vul-
ga-rity exhibits itself in some. peoples in
their lack of care of everything fhev

Roman Floral Decoration.

Last night, here in Rome, saw a most
beautiful though very simple decoration
for evening festas.
1t was only canary seed planted inside
of an old terra Gotta flower, pot and
grown in the dark within day or two of
it's use.
I learned that the outer circle of the
grass, as it springs up. must be carefully
trained downward SO that it will fall,
fringe-like, out of the pot the center
grass is allowed to grow upright Bring
ing it into partially lighted place, only
a little before the time for use tips the
ends Of the blanched straw colored blades
with delicate green, SO that the color eff
feet is indescribably charming and deco
rative. The grass is allowed to grow
from six to eight inches in height, accord
to the size of the pot
Directly in the center of each there is
placed a fairy lamp or fairy candle
The shades of these lights may be any
color, or all colors, or simply transparent.
Nothing more graceful and beautiful in the
way of decoration could be imagined, than
these soft tiny lights twinkling among
the grass blades. Many troublesome WAYS
have been devised of surrounding or en-
seeming fairy lamps among flowers or
greenery, but this way is an easy and sue
cessful as it is Observation-Disclosures News

An Artistic Cloth.

A banquet cloth that will probably
be known to the descendants of its
owners as "our great-grandmother's
rose-cloth" is at least four yards in
length and very wide. 1t is of linen
that is plain, fine, heavy, and lustrous.
Over the entire center are wrought
pink roses, full blown, half blown, and
in bud; roses turned toward you, roses
in profile, and roses with their heads
turned away. Next the roses is a
drawn-work border, then a wide band
of rosebuds on the plain linen, then a
second drawn-work border, and then a
wider border scattered with rose cluS-
tiers and their foliage. A similar cloth
has a good sized center of drawn work,
and next it a band of flowers at least
yard wide. The flowers are two shades
of pink chrsanthemums of medium size,
joined by a pale green ribbon that
winds in and out. The part of the cloth
that falls over the sides of the table
has border of drawn work and then
wide one of plain linen.
Mignonette sprays in their natural
size and coloring formed a continuous
border on a round lunch-cloth seen the
other day. On the doylies that match
the cloth there are clusters of the same
flower in one corner. A cloth for a 5
o'clock tea table is unique in it's decor
atlon having a wide hem, and above it
wide white ribbon worked on silk.
The line of the ribbon is broken at the
corners by large circles, worked in the
same way that the ribbon is The
circles are edged with the same gold
cord. Inside the circles are the heads
of reindeer and sections of the trunks of
small trees, worked in shades of brown.
1t is noticeable that in the best
needlework the wrong side of the ar
ticle looks nearly as smooth and well
| finished as the right. There are no
ends and knots and no unnecessary
stitches crossing the surfaces where
the right side is plain. Where these
faults do occur they are sure to show
on the right side after the article has
been laundried. 1t has been found too
that the best imported silks are the
most economical, because they wash
best. Very hot water will make even
these run; so if your work is mussy
after it is finished, dip it in cold water,
and If soap is necessary use only the
best CASTLE on the wrong side of the
embroidery. Rinse in cold water and
be sure that the powder used in stamp
ing is all out. Squeeze gently when
washing, and if soiled use at first a
tepid water. After washing Law the
embroideries while still damp on a
clean thick flannel, cover with a clean
cloth, and press on the wrong side

toward the edges. When the figure is

ed in frame wash better than those
that are not.-Broolllyn Eagle.

THE PEDAGOGUEs.
Meeting of the Salt Lake County
school Teachers.


Salt Lake county's school teachers
held their regular weekly meeting yes
terday morning at the University of
Utah. Some sixty teachers were in
attendance.
Miss Holton, supervisor of primary
work in the Salt Lake city schools,
presented the subject of phonics, the
scope of her theme being confined to
primary grades. AS essential elements
underlying the successful teaching of
the subject, she mentioned: A sure
foundation, thorough drill, and work
in hand on the part of the teacher.
The general plan of teaching phonics
recommended by Miss Holton is as
follows: "a Breathing exercises; %
review familiar sounds by putting
letters and marks upon the board; (S)
make words from them; az give a new
ound or one for special drill; 60 write
amiliar words containing these sounds;
(6) write and mark words given by
pupil containing a sound and sound
the word; ca write new words contain
ing this sound and have them made
out and sounded.
Miss Holton spoke for the space of
an hour and made many illustrations
that were of value in teaching his
most important subject.
At the close of the address, srperin-
tendant Allen presented q Plan f'.r
providing for issuing certificates to
such pupils as shall complete The fiTst
grades of school work in the district
schools of Salt Lake county. The plan
contemplates an examination by a
committee of which the county super
intendant is chairman. After the
school year is completed, the COM
mencement exercises for such as may
pass the required examination. These
certificates will admit pupils to the

Promontory, twelve miles south of the
station on the Southern Pacific rail-
way in Box Elder county by that name.
They have got out some beautiful
samples, varying from very dark to a

also found in the vicinity. Representa-

and they are so we'll satisfied with the
value of the discovery that they have
organized a company called the West
