the lake looked inviting, and she went
out on it, unmindful of several urchins
who were lowering about the boathouse
at the shore end of the pier. a few
minutes later her husband came to the
lake TO join her, but was intercepted.
by one of the urchins.
Say, mister, is that your girl?"
asked the boy.
She's my wife," replied the young
man.

that would. settle the matter they re-

The young man promptly informed
his wife of the request, but she was
enjoying herself and was not anxious,
to leave. She laughed and called to a
new arrival at the boathouse:
Tell the boys" she said, when he
had come to her, ''to run out and jump
into the water if they wish to. L won't
look"
The little fellow hurried to the boat
house with the message, and there was
an immediate council of war. AT it's
conclusion he returned to the end of the
pier and said:

dasn't risk it,
There are those who are verdant
enough to believe that the Southern
Pacific has been furnishing the sinews
of war to boom Colonel Trumbo politi-
cally in Utah. 1t was the Southern
Pacific "a
that killed the Salt Lake s. Los
Angeles railway scheme planned by
our people a few years ago. But for
the interference of the paid attorneys

life blood OUT of California and Nevada
and now has it's greedy eyes upon

Is a sad one, says the Anaconda Stand
ard, but in this instance it is a just
one, and the only regret that will be
left is the regret that SO much bril-
lance of mind, so much power and
magnetism of eloquence should have
been given to a man undeserving of
them. There has been a great waste
of good material. Breckenridge was

fications that God bestows on man. lie
did not pervert them, as some other
men of a high order of talent have
done, he simply by folly and wicked
ness rendered them useless. Breckin-
ridge is a mass of ruins. To para
phrase the words of Brutus over the
dead body of Casar, there Is respect
for his abilities: admiration for his ora
tory; wonder for his brilliancy; and
disgrace and dishonor, deep and ever
lasting, for his sin.
In Cheyenne the other day, in fit
of rage, Mr.. Smith threw a bowl at his
wife, severely injuring her. The local
papers published the fact. A few hours
later. both Mr. and Mrs. Smith called
at the newspaper offices, and expressed
regret that the facts had appeared in
print. Mrs. Smith taking pains to i'm
press upon the editor that she was
satisfied that her husband didn't in
tend to throw the bowl, had it not been
for the fact that he had been severely
tried with hard work. and had grown
very nervous" That woman is an
angel!

The Star of Bethlehem, paper pub
lished at Leeds, England, gives the
following account of the late trouble in
this country. 1t contains many points
which are, no doubt, new to many of
our readers. Tt says: "a big revolu-
Stion is going on in the United States
eAf America and there is little doubt
that the government will be defeated.
The dictator, Debs, has been driven
from his palace. and he and his min
listers are now hiding in the mountains.
The greatest trouble has been exneri-
enced in the capital of Chicago, where
Grover Cleveland, the ringleader of the
rebels. has obtained control, The rail-
road track at that place has been torn
up, thrown into the Mississippi river,
a stream considerably longer than the
Severn. and the stock yards, where the
government palaces are situated, have
been RACED to the ground. The trouble
was started by a man named Pullman
who has stronghold in the noun
tains of Illinois. one of the most con-
siderable provinces in the country"
None of which is very clear, but it is
just as lucid as the gibberish of the
average Republican when he attempts
to convince anyone that the Hard
Times infant should be laid at the door
of Democracy, and that it is not the
legitimate offspring of Miss Protection
and Mr.. Trust, who move in the upper
circles of the Republican Four Hun
bred.
