famous evenings:
What One Record Shows.
Sunday-Evening service at the church
of the English embassy, which may be va
ried by visit to the Latin Quarter annex
of the Rev. DR.. Morgan's American Church
of the Holy Trinity, which does good work
among the young men who have come to
study art.
Monday-The three girls-for the chaper-
on is only thirty-sit writing letters for the
Tuesday mail.
Tuesday-A caller. who is shown to their
private parior. The three girls have a
private parlor in the boarding house. They
spend pleasant evening chatting over the
delights of Paris. The caller seems to
feel that 1t would be too much to take
them all three out.
Wednesday-An three are invited to an
evening tea" These evening teas. so
famous in the colony, comprise card
games. refreshments, conversation on the
delights of Paris, and, perhaps, a carpet
dance. The three young ladies have gone
in cab together. They go home in the
same way.

A doctor can tell you exactly what he
thinks is the matter with you. II he fully
realized just one great truth he would come
nearer to doing this. The thing he doesn't
fully appreciate is the fact that the man with
pure blood and good digestion can nevsa
have anythin. very serious the matter with
him. If you get your blood in good condi
ton, and keep il rich, and pure and whole.
some, you will thereby cure almost any dis
ease with which mankind ere afflicted. A
sewer may be pretty dirty, but If YOU keen
continually flushing il with pure water, va
will eventually get it clean. The body may 70
full of impurities, but in the natural course
of events these impurities will be excreted !;
and, If they are not replaced by other I'M
purities, the body will become pure and
healthy. If you continually pump pure,
rich blood into diseased organ, the disease
will gradually disappear and soundness and
health of the tissues will be restored
That is the theory and that Is the actual
result of the use of DR.. Pierce's Colden
Medical Discovery. II doesn't make any
difference what your doctor calls your dis.
ease, the Golden Medical Discovery will
cure it and it will cure it by making the
blood pure and rich, by stimulating the d.
gestive organs, invigorating the liver, and
by soothing and strengthening the nerves,
1t is the most wonderful blood d-maker and
6esh-builder that has ever been known. Il
is the most successful medicine Of its kind
that was ever prepared.
Sometimes l connection with the Golden
Medical Discovery IL Is wise to take few of DR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are the only pos
itive and permanent cure for constipa ton and an
fully restored. Frequently the Pellets are all
that are needed. One is gentle laxative and two

who raised single crop Of $500 worth OF
strawberries on half an acre, and there
are gardeners near here who are getting

farms are small and the great majority
of our farmers are free from debt. We

of these 1900 are absolutely free Of in

How about your sheep industry" I ask

1T Is, I think, in good condition" re-
piled Governor Wells. 1--WE are one Of the
greatest sheep raising states of the Union.
We have now about 100000 sheep graz
ing on our mountains. The herders keep
them there in the summer from May until
October. In the fall they are taken to
the desert and pastured upon 1t. The sheep
are taken care Of in herds, some of which
run as high as three thousand and up

two men to each herd. They receive from

A Horse That Was a Terror to the.
Force aud Made Trouble for Them.
From the San Francisco Call
Cornelius Shine. dairyman on the San
Bruno road, rear the Golden City House
owns valuab BILE horse that is terror 10
the neighborhood. The horse is tractable
enough when in harness. but as soon as 1t
is placed in the corral it gets restless and
breaks out. Then it roams around in search
Of trouble.
1t amused itself by trying to bite the
drivers Of wagons passing along the roaG
and showed its playfulness by kicking the
wagons with its hind heels Sometimes it
varied the monotony by chasing a pedes-
trian, Who would seek refuge in some
place which the horse could not reach
For some unaccounta5le reason the horse
took a special dislike to Mounted Police
man Mckenna. Whether in harness or out
OF harness whenever it saw McKenna il
made for him with open mouth. McKenna
used to fill his saddle bags with rocks and
when the horse made a rush at him he
would throw the rocks at 1t to drive 1t off.
This made the horse more bitter in its dis
like to the mounted policeman ard finally
McKenna rode up to Shines dairy and let
loose his feelings.
'See here Shine,' he said, "I am getting
tired of this sort of business. 1 don't intend
to let that horse of yours monkey with me
or I will do something desperate. I will
bring suit against you or kill the horse in
self-defense."
The horse was in the corral and while
McKenna was talking 1t jumped over the
fence and open-mouthed made rush at
Mckenna. Shine tried to stop the animal,
but 1t paid no attention to him. McKenna
had forgotten to arm himself with rocks.
He grasped his revolver and for an instant
was undecided what to do. The horse was
within a few yards of him and looked SO
formidable that McKenna dug the spurs
into his horse and fed at full gallop, hotly
pursued by Shines horse.
The chase was kept up for about a mile
| and McKenna succeeded in making his es-
cape Things had come to a crisis and last
Friday McKenna went to Shines with
blood in his eye. He demanded that his
enemy be instantly sent to some other
part of the country or there would be trou-
BILE. Shine pacified him by telling him that
the horse would annoy him no more, he
had sent him away forever.
McKenna rode around the ranch to sat
isfy himself that his enemy was not in
sight. He was relieved to find that Shine
was not deceiving him.

who are paid by the church and whose time
belongs to the church. 1t Is rather a mat
ter of church discipline than of political
manasement. The whole thing grew out Of
some complications that arose during the
last campaign. when certain high church
men. under salEit. accepted political can
didacy without permission. The manifesto

A Possible Revolution.
Suppose the church attempted to as
sumo political control over it's members"
said I. Suppose it attempted to force
them to vote according to the interests Of
the church. regardless of other considera-
tions. what would be the efrect?'
1T would create a revolution here In
Utah." replied Gov. Wells. ''The people of
our state are honest in their allegiance to
the two great national parties, and, in my
opinion. they will not brook any dictation
or interference by any church, Mormon or
Gentle. AS for myself. l am Mormon.
and as such 1 am willing to render obe-
dience to my church leaders in spiritual
matters II. however. they should attempt
to exact obedience to their will in matters
political l should rise Ap and say Hands
Off, and l am quite sure that the majority
OF the people of Utah would do the same.
But do not anticipate any such condi-
tion." continued Gov. Wells. Our church
leaders have repeatedly asserted their In
Eocence OF any such intention. Utah pro-
cured its statehood upon the positive un-
derstanding that there should be no union
of church and state. We have this pro-
vision incorporated in our constitution.
which reads r-r'
"There shall be no union of church and
state. nor shall any church dominate the
state or interfere with its functions
POlyEamy Not Possible.
How about polygamy. governor? 1t is
also prohibited by the constitution, is it
not?'
Yes. the constitution states that no In
habitant Of Utah shall ever be molested in
person or property on account of his re-
lgion. but that polygamy plural mar
riages shall be forever prohibited"
Suppose 1t should be practiced?"
TT will be punished just as 1t was before
Utah became a state. There is q part OF the
constitution which makes the acts Of the
legislature Furnishing polygamy which were
in force before statehood still valid.
don't like to discuss such matters. how
ever" concluded Governor Wells. "Polys-
amy Is thing Of the past. 1t Is now a
dead question. and 1t ought not to be asso-
ciated with Utah in the future. Since state
rood dawned upon US we have aimed to
put the DaLt behind US and to look forward
with eyes Of hope to the future"
What are Utah's prospects?" l asked.
II think 1t Is one Of the best states OF
the Union," replied Governor Wells. 1T is
a perfect paradise of mountain and plain.

said that when they call next week they
will quite naturally ask the ladies to ap-

Saturday--It is their evening" the best
