The spotted yeli.

There are plenty of fads and follies
nowadays" remarked an eminent ply
stefan in a recent discourse on the care
of the health; land no lack of people
to take them up and run after them.
Many of them are amusing and harm
less, but some arc so deadly in their eff
fects that those who realize the mis-
chief they do can scarcely keep silent
Especially is this the case when mere
caprice may re,,lt in the ruin of the
eyes or, If nd lat, then permanent
injury to the sight.
1.-THE present fancy for spotted wells
is making the oculists rich. Scores Of
women who have never had the least
trouble with their eyes are finding it
necessary to take regular treatment
and are obliged to give up certain sorts
of work and curtail their hours for
reading and study. And the most re-
narkable part of all the trouble is
that, after they are warned, they keep
eight on just as steadily as though no
hint of the injurious effect of the prac-
ticc had ever been given them.
Il am growing rather impatient with
mature women-those who should
know better. Indeed, they do know
better. But women have in some way
gotten the idea that the large-dotted
veil is becoming, and being fashion
able, it has gotten a foothold that
nothing seems able to interfere with.
But young women and girls, who are
unaware of the trouble they are max
ing for themselves, should be warned

NAPOLEON AT PLAY.

Bonapartc "a Supremacy Selfish and
Particularly Vulgar Little Man."
The diary describing the journey
of Napoleon to st. Helena appears in
the Century. 1t gives moro or less
significant details OF Bonaparte's
conversations, and presenting the
exile, says the New York Tribune, as
a supremely selfish and particularly
vulgar little man. During the first
two months OF his detention in the
island he lived in small detached
building near the cottage OF Mr..
Balcombe, who had two young
daughters in their early teens.
''Theso young ladies' says Mr..
Glover. "in few days became per-
fcctly familiar, and the general
seemed highly pleased with their
naivetc, particularly with that OF the
younger Ga pretty girl, and a most
complete romp when out Of the sight
OF her father). He occasionally so
completely laid aside his imperial
dignity as to romp with these young
ladies, who during sucn diversions
as blind mans buff etc, called
him by the familiar appellation oil
Boney; indeed the younger, who APP
poared his favorito, said anything
and everything to him her lively
imagination dictated. asking every
possible question, and he answered
without tho slightest apparent re-
serve." There Is not much trace oil
tho grand. gloomy. and peculiar cap
tive about this picture.

Frisky Bladder.

A certain big dog, whose acquaint-
ance made two or three years ago,
had a very lively sense of humor, and
not only liked to play joke himself,
but could appreciate one that was
turned on him.
His mistress was of slight figure,
weighing, less than 100 pounds. In
one of his clumsy rushes of delight
at being allowed to go to walk with
her, he bounced against her, and fair
ly knocked her down. He seemed TO
consider it charming joke. and had
no doubt that she enjoyed it as we'll
as he did. for from that day he was
always trying to repeat the perform
ance.
II she started for walk, and
wanted his escort through the woods,
he was more than ready to go. He came
bouncing and frolicking about her as
though he were puppy, always
plainly aiming 10 dash against her.
She had to dodge him, and finally she
did not dare to leave the steps until
he had Gained himself little. All
the while he would stand wagging his
tail and looking at her with n mis-
chievous expression in his eyes, know
ing. just as well as she did that she
was afraid of him.
When he saw that she would not SO
while he behaved so, he quoted down
and trotted gravely along beside her,
with oil the dignity his position OF
protector called for. But the very
next time she made ready for walk
the same performance was repeated,
and more than n year later the dog
remembered the joke and tried to play
IL on her again. On others of the fam

Returninr Good for Evil.

Through one of the principal streets
of Berlin on sunshiny morning,
many years ago, beautiful lady was
driving in her carriage. People stop
ped to gaze after her, and those who
recognized the sweet face pointed
her out as Henrietta Sontag, the
great singer, then at the height of
her fame. Suddenly the carriage
came to standstill at an order from
its occupant, whose ears had caught
the strains of an old familiar ballad.
A wee girl of some six or seven sum-
mers, accompanied by blind woman,
was singing in the roadway.
Calling the child over to her, Mad
anne Sontag gently inquired her name.
"Nannie, gracious lady," was the
answer given with an Austrian ac-
cent
Sand who. pray, is the woman
with youp"
This is my poor mother, lady. She
was once upon a time famous singer,
but she lost her voice, and then after
ward she became blind. We have no
friends now, and are obliged to beg
little money by my singing"
"And what is your mothers name,
little one?"
"Amelia Steinjngcr," replied the
child, who was startled at the look of
surprise that came over the question
er's face the next moment.
Amelia Steininger! Well did Madame
Sontag remember the name! Years
before, in Vienna, when she. Henriette,
jealous of the young opera singers
voice, had raised storm of opposi-
ton, and driven her with Kisses from
the Austrian capital
But all this had long been forgiven,
and Madame Sontag's heart now
ached with pity for the old rivals
misfortune. A number of gentlemen
had by this time gathered round the
carriage, and to them the singer now
turned.
Gentlemen" she began, with tears
of sympathy glistening in her eyes,
''permit me here, on this public place,
to take up collection for an unhappy
sister from whom God has seen fit to
take His greatest gift-the gift of
sight See, here is my purse for the
brave little one; you will no. allow il
to remain unfilled?"
A score of eager hands were thrust
out instantly, and gold and silver
coins poured in upon the bewildered
little girl, who could not speak her
thanks for the sobs in her throat.
Now, Mamie" continued her bene-
factress, before driving on, ''let me
write down where you live; then go
and tell your mother that her old
friend Henriette Sontag will visit her
this afternoon for chat"
Madame Sontag did not forget her
promise, and devoted herself from
that time onward to caring for her
former enemy. And when at last
Amelia Steininger died, poor little or
phaned Mamie went to live with the
famous queen of song us her adopted

THE TWO COUNTY TICKETS

If the merits of the men composing
the two tickets in Utah county go for
ANYTHING, there will be little difficulty
in electing the democratic by a very
handsome majority. Ii fate had deter
mined to do the republican party a
deadly injury, it could hardly have i'm
proved upon Saturdays work. a
weaker ticket composed of more dis
cordant and unpopular elements
could hardly have been devised.
There is not a single representative
man on the ticket save one, and he is
by far too old to fill the position. The
sherif's Office is one which requires
great activity, great endurance, iron
nerve and quick, alert and tireless
physique. Besides that he needs to
he a man of excellent and accur-
ate business habits. In this the re-
publican bosses made mistake and
we doubt not they will be
ready to acknowledge it long
ere the campaign is closed. Their can
didate for recorder is clever gentle
man personally, but he is the product
of a compromise between the two ir-
reconcilable and hostile wings of the
party which grew up under the tyran-
nical oyerbearing AMI selfish policy of
Judge Jones. They hunt in pairs for
this race and this is why we say poor
Don. The fact is, when we. start in to
hunt for the reasons why he was nomi-
mated we can fnd nothing but the
compromise above alluded to. Saxey
had it all his own way, but was out
generated badly by Jones in the final
outcome. The democrats can 60 on
the theory that there is no good taste
in Saxey's mouth, nor will there be for
a single moment during this campaign.
New Saxey is not without his strength
and il will not be eXerted for as
deadly an enemy as Jones or any of
Jones' followers.
The fact is this republican ticket
served as an OBJECT lesson to the demo
cratic county convention and it has
served to guard the county democrats
from committing the same error, The
loud clamor, the hungry desire to feed
at the public crib had no sway. The
comfy democratic convention was on
the hunt for the best men in it aud
found them. These are its nominees.
Strong men. Strong by reason of their
ability, their fitness, their pop ula ity,
adaptability for the work given them
to do. The contrast is very strong one
Indeed it is very vivid and it is of that
nature as that it Will make votes on the
side of democracy on election day.
Now then, it is perfectly apparent
that the democrats of Utah county are
not only equal to the occasion, but are
as well in dead earnest. They mean
business. They are in dead earnest |
and mean to carry the county by ma
jority which will bewilder their riven,
torn and warning foes. Contrast this
condition with the closet front, the
serried ranks and thorough unity of
the democrats, and then read their fate
in luminous letters next November.
No, gentle republicans, we do not
intend to trnst the interests of Utah
county to you next term. Nor do we
10 send your twelve to help
fashion a constitution for the new
state of Utah.
