He Didn't Believe In Cruelty.

An old rancher with wagon load Of
potatoes was driving gray mare and n
sorrcl mule along the road near San Rata.
ell yesterday, when a train came along.
The mule plunged and kicked till he found
he could not run away, and then, with the
proverbial perversity Of his kind, planted
his forefeet into the ground and refused
to bulge. The old marc made two or three
attempts to pull mule, wagon and load,
but gave it up and balked too.
The old man tried coaxing, petting and
leading, but the team would only settle
back in the harness in most determined
manner. Several people happened along,
and each had some advice to offer.
"Take club and beat the heads Of
them," suggested one.
"Throw mud In their mouths, and they
will forget about baking" advised an
other. !,
"Pour shot in their ears"
"Twist their tails" IS
"Put barley boards in their noses"
"No," said the old man calmly and
firmly. "They may have some reason for
baking. don't believe in cruelty"
He examined the collars, but found
them all right. Then he tried to start tho
team again, but without success so he set

tatoes sack at time and stacked them up
beside the road. He climbed on the seat,
clucked to the team and touched the mule
lightly with his whip. The stubborn brute
sat down.
"Beat him to death!" yelled disgusted
teamster.
"No, sir; 1 don't believe in cruelty to
animals" replied the old man, still un-
ruffied.
He wrapped the reins around the brake,
walked quarter Of mile to house and
secured broom. Then he swept every
speck Of dust out OF the wagon bed.
"Now, you brv.es, you've got no excuse
for not pulling" declared the old man.
There was blood in his eye as he pulled
rail offoa neighboring fence and climbed
up on the seat with it.
A penitent mule, with humps all over
his back the size of beehives, ambled into
San Rafael half an hour later with a load
Of potatoes.

man. "Team balked, and 1 don't believe

TALES OF TIE Trlfhar


Henry A. Wilder, attorney ut law, has
an eye to business at all times and under
all circumstances. He was sitting I'm Cap

and while one of them pointed q revolver

of the cash drawer I'm his hat. The thioves
then walked over to where Attorney Wild
or was sitting and ordered him to deliver
what valuables he had.
Mr. Wilder Is the possessor OF u fine gold
watch, but he did not want to part with
It. He told the robbers no was lawyer,
thinking that would soften their hearts to-
ward him, but they were relentless.
"SearcA him, jim, said the man who
held tho gun, "and bc quick about It."
Jim ran his fingers into Mr.. Wilder's
vest pocket and found tho watch. He was
Juggling ut the chain In an attempt to
break Ii when Mr.. Wilder said
"Gentleinen, do you appreciate tho grav-
ity of the crime which you are commit
ting?"
He then reached into the top pocket of
his vest and drew out several of his profes-
sional cards. Handing one to the thief
who had his watch, he continues:
"Here A. my. card, and you may want
me to defend you If you are arrested for
robbing the saloon keeper Mr.. Rounds. 1
would be good witness for the prosecu-
tion, but Of course If 1 represented you
gentlemen no power on earth could compel
me as an attorney to testify against my
clients. No lawyer In Chicago would do
fend thief who robbed a brother attor-
ney, so you see by robbing me of my watch
you are committing a very foolish act.
Now, you look to be intelligent gentlemen,
and leave the case in your hands, trust
ing that your verdict will be for the defend
ant"
"Take the gentleman's card, Jim, and
leave the watch, said the thief who held
the revolver at Mr.. Wilder's head. Hes
all right, and we may need him. If he
could make that spiel to jury, we'd be
acquitted"
AS the robbers backed out of the saloon
Mr.. Wilder shouted after them:

Jordan Lodge Nc. on Monday night
had work in the degree Of Brotherly
Love. Many were present from other
lodges and the business was promptly
attended to and degree given with a
rercision that speaks well for the de-
gree staff.
Signs and passwords may be used
to prove membership in the order. but
the best sign is in unblemished charac-
Ter and an abundance of good works.
Once having united with the order
there is absolutely no excuse for a
brother permitting himself to be sus-
pended. If folly were a crime such a
person would surely get long term in
the penitentiary.

day and after dispensing of routine

There was silence-deep, heavy, op-
pressive silence-in the executive cham
bers of the Advanced American Bust

heretical sentiment?
That the learned author of the bril-
liant and much-admired pamphlet on

Timidly the secretary realized that

still more portentous utterance was

The A. o. u. w.

The members of this organization
were considerably exercised during the
past week on account of the dispatches
from the scene of the mine disaster in
Wyoming. Their fears may be allayed,
however, when we state. on response
bic authority, that the almost thirty
members of the A. o. U. w. reported
killed in the explosion, dwindles down
TO two, on an actual examination of
the roster of the lodge situated at Red
Canyon. This stateme emit may not af-
ford much consolation to those parties
who sneeringly chuckled and asked
What will the A. o. U. W. do now?'
and who prophesied a speedy dissolu-
ton Of the order as a result of the dis
aster. AS a crumb of comfort to those
we will say that had the entire num-
Der of the victims been members of the
A o. U. w. that order would have paid
the heirs of each $4,000. And there are
over 100000 members in these
United States and Canada who
would have helped to do it,
AS it is, however, the jurisdic-
ton of Utah, Wyoming and Idaho, is
perfectly capable of looking after it's
own dead. The A. o. U. w. always
keeps faith with its dead.

been active, members being initiated

tation' section of the Illinois state
constitution. 1t has been operative in
Illinois for twenty-five years and
neither party has desired to change it.
1t is apparent from study of the
proposition that it can never operate
to defeat the will of the majority while
it will always secure to the minority
in each legislative district voice in
the lower house. 1t has been urged as
serious objection to representative
government that the changes wrought
by revulsions of popular feeling are
too great and rapid changes in the
policy of the government. This objec-
ton would be largely overcome if the
proposed provision were part of our
scheme of government both state and
national.
Observation shows us that a quickly
created majority usually elects new
men to Office while the men which
the minority succeeds in returning are
mostly men of experience and that it
is well to have mingled with the radi-
cal new men a few of the conservative
old men.
Reflection must convince US that the
operation of the proposition will tend
to foster and increase the paternal
feeling of the people for the govern
ment Of their creation. Under present
conditions the voter of the minority
party is made to feel that he is an
alien, and that he must await lucky
turn of the political wheel before he
can participate again in the govern
ment of which he is a component
part.
1 write the above simply to suggest
to the members of the constitutional
convention the wisdom of making the
proposed provision part of our con-
stitution, convinced that the future
beneficiaries under this just law will
forgive them for their sins of omission
and commission, because of it.
