N Home for Every One.

Col. r. G. Ingersoll, in his re-
cent address uttered these beau
tiful sentiments touching the idea
of a home for every one
Now, I have got a hobby. I
do not suppose any of have heard
it. I think that the greatest
thing for a country is for all lis
citizens to have home. Think
it is around the Preside of a home
that the virtues grow, including
patriotism. We want homes.
Until few years ago it was the
custom to put men in prison for
debt. The authorities drew a
man into Jail when he owed
something which he could not
pay, and by throwing him into
Jail paralyzed him of an oppor-
tunity to earn what would pay
it. After little time they got
sense enough to know that they
could not collect debt in this
way and then it was better to
give him his freedom and allow
him to earn something, if he
could. Therefore, the system
of failing was done away with.
AT another time when a man
owed anything, if he were a
carpenter, a blacksmith, or a
shoemaker, and not able to pay
it they took his tools on a writ
of sale and execution, and thus
incapacitated him so that he
could do nothing. Finally they
sense enough to abolish that law,
to leave the mechanic his tools
and the farmer his plows, horses
and wagons, and after this debts
were paid better than they ever
were before.
Then we took to emancipating
the home builder, and we said !:
I'VE will have q homestead ex-
enpt.on. We shall put a roof
over wife and child which shall
be exempt from execution and
sale, and so we preserved humid
reds and thousands and millions
of homes, while debts were paid
as before. Now | want to take
step farther. | want the rich
people OF this country to pay
want the people who are well
off to pay the taxes. want the
law to exempt homestead to a
certain value, sar from 81, 900 to
81, 500. and exempt it, not only
from a sale, judgment and execu-
ton, but to exempt it from taxes
of all sorts and kinds. I want to
keep the roof over the heads OF
others when the man himself
has gone. | want that home
stead to belong not only to the
man but the wife and children.

of dust, at some places actually
six inches deep. Dust of that
depth would never accumulate
under ordinary circumstances,
you say; nor would it, but when
the wagon roads, naturally hard
and smooth, are passed over by
ponderous freight teams, drawn
by twelve and eighteen mules,
the broad wheels cut deep into
the earth, grinding the clay and
gravel into a fine powder.
The coach and horses are toll
ing up the long, steep road which
leads to the summit of the Great
Six Mile Divide, when suddenly
we emerge from a deep gully and
half hundred hills all thrown
together as if Mother Nature had
been shutting them, when be-
hold ! at our feet lies Lost river
itself, like strip of glass upon
the green meadow which nestles
so peacefully under the shadow
of Caleb's Peak. We stand al
most without warning, on the
summit of the Great Six Mile
Divide and get our first good
view of Lost river by looking
down.
At our feet lies the village of
Houston, nestled among the hills
far away and scattered here and
there are the homes of the farm
ers, their green fields of alfalfa
and golden grain looking like a
huge checker board in the sun
light.
A vast trench, "cloven by Om-
IMPOTENCE" amid a tumult of
mountains, hills, and lava cliffs,
yawn beneath US. The desolate
and splintered walls of Caleb's
Peak rear themselves above the
clouds to wrestle with the storms
and gather in their rocky arms
the winter SHOWS that lie, during
the summer, quietly melting to
feed the foam and music of the
cataract.
Giant cottonwood trees cluster
ed on the river below modestly
shrink to tiny shrubs. Indeed,
the whole scene is focused into a
seemingly beautiful painting.
Here one can see the rugged
majesty of the snow-capped
mountains, the pastoral beauty
of Lost river valley and the
weird sage-brush plains that
present a picture of grand DESC
lation. To get here, for miles
we were continually ascending
until at last we saw a dim blue
outline extending horizontally in
the west, hedged in by lofty
mountain peaks that reared
themselves above the clouds as

bit of experience which one of that city's
benevolent men had with beggar. The
gentleman has regular staff of "visit-

Mr.. G. as usual and received from him a
half dollar.
The beggar took it, thanked the donor
and turned toward the door. Before reach

stopped and then turned to Mr.. G. again,

you have given me 81, but today l come

unusually heavy expenses this month. My
