There is a movement on foot among
bicycle people to boycott Wells
Doctors are sociable animals, as a
rule, and they are particularly so at
late hours of the night, when the
streets are quiet and business in the
drug stores is dull Then it is that they
like to spin yarns, tell stories and swap
lies.
A half dozen or more night hawks,
including a newspaper man or two,
were in Goddess drug store late the
other evening. Among those present
was an old-timer who had RECALLED his
hearers with tales of early life in
Utah. The pony express, freighting
on the plains, escape from Indians in
ambush, high prices paid for the neces-
sites to say nothing of the iuxuries of
life-au these had been discussed ana
the stories enjoyed.
The midnight electric light flickered
and went out, leaving the room in al
most total darkness Soon there was
a heavy football and a stranger en-
tered and stood at some distance.
The Old Inhabitant was just finish
ing a story of hair-breadth escape
from Indians in Echo canyon, when a
deep bass voice startled the assembly
''Why, that's nothing; why, few
days before Johnson's emmy
But the speaker was alone with his
cane 1t was Tom Dobson, and clear
ly a case of TOO Much Johnson"
The simple tale of Mrs. Mackay's
daughter is charming lesson for am
bilious American girls. Everybody
knows that princes come high, but few
have proved so expensive as this up
roarious BLACKBOARD. He married for
money, she for a title. Both gained
their object and neither had any right
to look for happiness beyond that con-
veyed by the marriage contract. 1t
was a clear case of buy and sell. But
the prince, like other gentlemen, OF
so-called noble blood, exceeded his priv
ileges To extravaganza unheard OF
and to a life of debauchery and dissi-
patton he had the misfortune to add
domestic cruelty and ibarbarity, and the
were the natural results. What is
Miss Eva Mackay's net gain? The IT,
tie of a princess. What has she given
for it? Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars with which to pay up gambling
debts and avoid greater miseries,
| twelve years of horror as the wife of
ruffian, the humiliation of knowing
that she was the gossip of two CONT
nents and the abject fear that in her
fight from one refuge to another her
children would be stolen from her.

Blaine had his Burchard; Wells had
his bicycle.
Would Richard W. Young have been
nominated for the supreme bench by
the Democrats had his name beenAOl-
SEM" asks the Esteemed Tribune.
Quite probable: but its dollars to
doughnuts that he wouldn't had his
name been Goodwin.
1t is an open secret that search is
now being made among the archives of
Nevada, and that certain manuscripts
found" and other evidence will be
forthcoming in case a certain high
toned gentleman who was once a res
ident of the rotten borough shall in
sist upon his demand for senat oriaI
honors.
Shades of Blackstone Shades of
Coke! Shades of LittIeton

Imagine such legal lights as Judge
Powers, Judge Zane, Dickson, VIII
l1ams, Hardness, Bennett, Brown, Mar
shall, Sutherland, Young, Moyle, Rich
ards and dozens of others pleading
their causes before either of the trio!
My thoughts are reverting to DAYS that
are past,
And a girl that ! formerly knew.
So sweet and demure that she's easily
AS the first to whom homage is due.
call to my mind both her smile and her
! frown,
And the modesty, TOO, she displayed.
All, dainty, indeed, in her tailor-made
gown,
Was this dear little maidenly maid
look for her now, but she's vanished
from sight.
| And a voter has taken her place
A girl who's afraid I'm usurping some
right
ThaA belongs to the whole human race.
She's clever, I'm told, and will make her
own way
| She's as sharp as a man i'll a trade:
| It's all the result of progression. they
say,
But long for the naidenly maid
The taiIor-made gown is a memory now,
And the boomers we see in it's place
| Whatever their merits-youI have 10 al
low
Are distressingly lacking in grace.
| The girl of today may excel, 1 concede,
| In the field she has tried to invade;
So well she succeeds in her efforts, in
| deed,
That we sigh for the maidenly maid.
We've men enough now, it is worthy of
/ note,
I For we do not want all of one sex,
| So why should the women attention de-
! vote
| To. a. movement that ever must vex?
So manly in manner they are tnat we
fly
When in boomers Yves see them arrayed
| And longingly crv. most regretfully sigh,
! For the old-fashioned maidenly maid.

Come to think of it, as Mr.. Wells is
destined for a trip UP Salt River, that
bicycle would be in the way. It was
very thoughtful of George N. to light
en- the tourists luggage"
