A VERY DANIEL INDEED.
n You Haven't tic Money. You Can't Pay,
Decided the Policeman.

Decided the Policeman.
A policeman accomplished a delicate
piece of diplomacy the other afternoon
at Cathedral parkway and Columbus
avenue. Excavations are in progress
there for new building, and a gang Of
italian laborers are doing the work un-
der the eye Of boss of their own
nationality. As the writer approached
the spot a young italian laborer was
angrily exchanging words with the
foreman. He carried his coat on one
arm and over the opposite shoulder was
slung his shovel, which he removed and
shook in the intensity Of his gesticula-
ton. Suddenly he saw a policeman near
by, and he made dash for the bluecoat
and asked for his assistance.
The officer came along with the Ital-
ian, and the two joined the foreman.
The policeman, who was an Irishman
some 40 years old, were a masisterial
air, looked patronizingly and kindly
upon the two Italians, who spoke good
English, and then he listened gravely
to their tale of wee. The boss had dis
charged the young fellow On the spot.
alleging that he did not do his work
satisfactorily. The young man wanted
his wages up to date. The policeman
thought that this was only fair and SO
told the foreman.
"But l haven't tho contractor s
money" exclaimed the foreman. Let
him go to the Office. His time is there,
and he'll get his money"
The policeman loohed as wise as an
owl, and then turning to the young
Italian he thus delivered Judgment q:
'Tho best thing you can do is to go to
the Office AID get your money. If he
(pointinS to the foremanl can discharge
you on the spot, you oCght to get your
money on the spot. But, you sec, the
foreman hain't got it. F"
The policeman gave his thumb a jerk
toward the street, the young Italian took
the hint and with sorrowful but re-
signed air started on his mission to the
office.
81 think my view Of the justice CT
the situation was right" said the Off
Ger a moment later, but how could the
fellow get his money from a man who
didn't have it: Anyhow, saved rum
pus." So he did.-New York Tribune

AMONG insiders, says the New
York Mercury, it is known that Gov.
Morton is more of a candidate for
senator than for president. He will
not refuse the presidential nomina-
ton. but he realizes that. owing to
his advanced age. his chances Of
getting the nomination are very re-
mote. indeed. The senate. after all,
would be more TO Mr.. Morton's lik-
ing. During his term as vice presi-
dent and presiding officer Of the
senate the governor formed q very
strong attachment for the upper

PEORIA HERALD: The American

the deal between Mrs. Vanderbilt

been practically closed. She trades
one daughter and several millions of
money for n title. The American
people do not approve OF these kinds
of trades, as n rule, but as Mrs. Van

wooLoIEN IN CONSULTATIONS.
They Discussed aIattera of Interest
to Themselves.


The city was pretty well filed with
sheepmen yesterday. the cause for this
rather untimely gathering being the
called meeting of the salt Lake
County Woolgrowers' association.
Probably 1t was not an untimely gath
ering. after all. when the matters on
for discussion are taken into 4SSEsid-
Grafton. for they pertafned to tie fu-
ture action of the flock masters re-
garding the farming communities and
the protection of the streams OF the
county and territory from being be-
fOuled by the sheep during the coming
spring and summer. 1t was an eXecu-
tive session and none Of the proceed
ings we're made public, but it is IN
derstood that the plan for the govern
ment of the industry in this section OF
the territory was adopted and all in
terests will be alike protected.
All of the growers brought in splen-
did reports regarding the condition OF
the docks in the several ranging dis
triCtS Of the territory and those Of
eastern Nevada and western WyoTfinS,
Sheep have Wintered in splendid shape
and the losses have been comparatively
nothing to date. OF course, there is
the season Of green grass now ap-
preaching, and it is probable that some
losses will be recorded during the next
two months. ShearinS will commence
out on the eastern Utah deserts within
the next fifteen days, but it viii be
some time before the removal Of
feeces will be opened in the western
part of the territory and eastern Ne
Vada Every indication points to a
heavy clip Of wool this year.
