About the richest thing we have
heard for some time is divorce
suit now on at Provo, Utah, en-
titled Conkling VS.. Conkling. The
plaintiff is photographer, and
alleges his wife has deserted him
for the last year, and that she is
now in Walla, Walla, Wash. with
his two children, the name of the
youngest of which ne says he has
forgotten. Now, that one fact is
sufficient to prove that he is not
fit suject to have the care Of his
children, and that his wife did the
proper thing in leaving him. Any
father of two children that doesn't
know their names shows he has
had but little regard for them. The
man ought to have his prayer for
divorce granted, but the wife
should be awarded the care of both
and good fat lump of
alimony each month thrown in to
keep both her and them. Post.

julius Caesar has arrived in
Rome.
And he has not come there for
his health.
Neither did those in power think
he has come there for theirs.
They were on TO the curves Of
Julius.
A delegation composed of city
councilmen and prominent citizens,
with the mayor as chairman, had
come out to the first station on the
Appian way to meet him.
He had refused to treat them or
treat with them.
This was a sad blow to the dele
CATION, but Caesar wasn't after any
particular delegation.
What he wanted was the entire
convention.
Before the caucus IN the city
Caesar spoke,
Sir, said the chairman OF the
caucus, why did you cross the ru-
bicon?
This was the moment of Caesars
triumph.
Rising TO his full height, and let
ting his voice go laundering forth
until Rome rocked on her seven
hills, he replied:
Friends and fellow sires, in re-
sponse to your inquiry I would say
that l crossed the rubicon because
wanted to get on the other side"
After which he had a cinch and
vas unanimously nominated.
Julius Caesar was no slouch. .
