The other morning as belated men,
Der of the Owl club was steering home
he passed the house of a well-known
physician.
The vestibule of this residence was
open, and on its side was an acoustic
tube, underneath which was the in
scription: "Whistle for DR.. Potts"
Not wishing to be disobliging about
so small a matter. the Owl stumbled
mp the steps, and, steadying himself
against the wall, blew into the pipe
with all the strength of his lungs
The physician, who was awakened
by the resultant shrill whistle near his
head. arose, and, after wondering at
the singular odor of whisky in the
room, CROPPED his way to the tube and
shouted: "Well?"
"Glad to know you are WELL" was
the reply, "but being doctor, s'pose
you can keep well at cost price, can't

And before the disgusted funny man
could withdraw his mouth a hastily
compounded mixture of ink, ipecac and
assafetida squirted from the pipe and
deluged him from head to foot, about
a pint monopolizing his shirt front and
collar.
And while he danced frantically
around sponging himself off with his
handkerchief, and swearing like a

A CLOSE CALL.

Twas sitting on the side veranda OF

At this moment the landlord, who
had stood in the door back of us and
heard the conversation, called me in
side and whispered:
Stranger. the Lord is certainly on
your side in this thing. You kin crawl
out of it by sayin' that neither has it

NIGHT ON A CIRCUS CAR.

Ma king Reports for the Day-Songs
Drowned by Noise.
On a circus advertising car night
shuts out the fitting telegraph poles
and the roar of the laundering trucks
extinguishes every other exterior
sound. Gaudily decorated in white
and gold outside and lettered from
end to end, the car has but three little
windows, and from these windows the
glancing light flashes on farmhouse,
field and fence. Within it eliminates
a comfortable stateroom, containing a
sofa bed, a closed berth above, a small
desk and diminutive safe. At this
desk sits a short, stout, taciturn
man, making up his reports for
the day at the last town. Be-
ing at the end of a fast train
the car bounds from side to side as if it
would leave the rails at every second
jump. But the man at the little desk
is used to this and goes on writing and
figuring, and consulting the railway
guide, as if he were in a quiet Office on
Broadway.
The rest of the car is lined with
cases of printing material and cuts.

rattling chorus There are bright
young men there, and as a whole they
are a comranionable lot. Three
or four sing snatches from comic
opera, sheets of which are in hand,
and there are those who can act
comedian and leading business. The
car rolls and pitches through the
darkness, but the lads are sure of
foot, and down the narrow gangway
in quadrille of merry waltz they toe
it in innocent merriment And now
and then the sudden crash and bang
of passing freight, or way station
re-echoing their own roaring wheels,
puts temporary blind on the human
voice. And the express rushes on,
with crash and roar and dizzy oscilla-
tion, like a huge serpent, winding
among the hills, with this giddy rattle

THE FRIENDSHIPS OF WOMEN.
An English Essayist Makes Terrible State
ments About Them.

An English Essayist Makes Terrible State
ments About Them.
Take, again, the friendship of one
woman for another when both stand
upon the same moral and social level.
1t is in nine cases out of ten devoid of
the obligations of loyalty and honor
which are inherent in the friendship
between one man and another. There
is less reserve in it, and also less sim
cerity, for a woman will reveal her
heart OF hearts to friend, and quarrel
with her the next day because she has
pirated her bonnet or alienated an ad-
mirer. Such relations never become
stable or sacred between women, for
they are apt to begin by chance, pro-
ceed with passion and die at breath.
Even at fever heat a woman never
gives as much to another as she gives
to her lightest lover. and at any mo-
ment she is ready to sacrifice her friend
at the behest of any man in whom she
is momentarily interested. For his
entertainment she will betray any
gret, even if she refrains from de-
nouncing her feminine friend to the
first conner as soon as a shadow of
misunderstanding has arisen between
them.
In the lives of most men there are
only one or two friendship bonds,
riveted by years of intercourse, which
nothing but undreamed-of treachery
can sever. Women, on the other hand,
make and discard friends with equal
facility. If they are seldom true to
men, their fidelity to their own sex is
rarer far, for there are no Davids and
Jonathans among women. no friend
ships founded on mutual faith and
held in honor. Until woman learns to
conduct her relations with her own
sex on the same principals as that on
which men act, the sisterhood of
woman will never come within meas
urable distance of the possible. She
has learned so much from man in this
decade that it is not unreasonable to
hope she may yet learn the true char
acter of friendship, as well as the
policy of combination. When woman
stands shoulder to shoulder with her
sister in public and in private life, she
will stand at the very gates of her
kingdom abreast of that brave vibra-
tion. each way free. Re-
view.

THE POWER PLANT.

It is well known that work on the
power plant in Ogden canyon has been
in progress for some time, and force
of fifty men have been constantly en-
ployed. There has been no let UP
since work commenced, and every
thing has been progressing satisfac-
torily; yet there was a rumor afioat
Yesterday and in fact for several days
past to the effect that the work had
come to a standstill, and that the
scheme was a dead failure. Why such
reports should be circulated, or gain
credence, is something surprising,
when any one can readily ascertain
whether there is anything being done
by visiting the camp where the men
are at work.
So far as is known, there is no in
dication that there is to be any change
in the plans or that there will be any
let up until the plant Is completed,
which will be about the first of next
December. That is the way the work
has been laid out and SC far the pro-
gress made does not warrant the be-
lief that there will be any delay IN
it's completion.
