IF I were not Tom Corwin l might be
president, said one of the greatest wits
of his day, abiding to the difficulty that
besets wit in his endeavors to have peo-
pie take him seriously. Sunset Cox,
whose wit made him the idol of Washing

Chauncey Depew firmly believes that his
reputation as an after dinner talker
stands between him and the presidency
General Porter has repeatedly voiced the
opinion that wit is an impossible barrier
TO high distinction. Perhaps Tom Reed,
in view of the failure of his presidential
Reed is about as genuine a wit as could
be mentioned. His sallies are of that
sparkling, happy sort that flash and cut
but rarely ranlSle. At his best, he is
largely reminiscent of Cox, who had the
same spontaneity, the same imperturba-
BILE good nature, the same elasticity
when occasion demanded. Depew's wit is
of the touch and-go order. The fun of it
hes less in what he says than how he

one of the testers whose jests gain in

painter, is equally felicitous in the con-

admirable in the types almost as when

Are wits less profound in their grasp of

The Raging Provo.

Homer Fraughton returned from the
head waters of the Provo Monday
where he has been prospecting for
some time past. He says the SNOW has
only just begun to melt up that
country and that we may look for
higher water in the Provo than that Of
last Saturday, after few days of
sunshine. He reports much damage to
bridges ard roads from Woodland up,
the bridges that were across the river
near Jones' mill and at Robert Jones'
ranch both being washed away. The
supporting fiume used to conduct
water across the river for irrigating
farms on Woodland bench is also gone
which causes much inconvenience to
the rancnmen and crops will in all
probability suffer for want of water
before ii can be replaced. The snow at
McGuire's old saw mill setting near
the head OF the south fork is all of
three feet deep, as near as Mr. F'raugh-
ton could judge. and its depth becomes
much greater as the higher mountains
and canyons are reached. All this has
to come down and greater damage
than has already been done by the
flood is anticipated Wasatch Wave.

Part of Southern Africa Which Nav

Two hundred miles north-northeast
of Basutoland the great Kathlamba
range rises in very bold slopes from
the coast levels behind Delagoa bay.
and the scenery of the valleys and
passes is said to be extremely grand.
Knowing it. however, only by report, I
will not venture to describe it. Nearly
500 miles still further to the north. in
the district called Mancaland, is a
Basutoland, but deriving singular
charm from the dignity and variety
of it's mountain forms.
The whole country is so elevated that
SUBMITS of 1900 or even 5000 feet do
not produce any greater effect upon
the eye than does Ben Lomond as seen
from Loeb Lomond, or Mount Wash
ington from the Glen house But there
is a boldness of line about these gran
tie peaks comparable to those of the
west coast of Norway or of the finest
parts of the Swiss Alps. Some of them
rise in smooth shafts of apparently
inaccessible rock Others form long
ridges of pinnacles of every kind OF
shape, specially striking when they
stand out against the brilliantly clear
morning or evening sky. The valleys
are well wooded. the lower slopes COW
cred with heritage, so the effect OF
these wild peaks is heightened by the
softness of the surroundings which
they dominate, while at the same
time the whole landscape becomes
more complex and more noble by the
mingling of such diverse elements.

Laughing is said to produce small
wrinkles about the mouth, but no one
need have any anxiety about wrinkles
thus formed, for they are rather pleas

light and merry heart. With mirth
and laughter let old wrinkles come, :"
as Shakespeare says. CheeIfulness and
