which the gentlemen retired to the
smoking-room for a weed and a chat

Noticed a tiny scale, like a piece of

thought 1t only a fever blister, but 1t
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful TO the touch, and
ne soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by

his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,

what Is a Parody

The essential conditions of parody are
commonly underst God 20 be brevity and
wit. 1t must also closely follow its
original, and that original must be fair
ly familiar. That it must discover oc-
cult resemblance in things apparently
unlike; that it must depend for its sue
cess upon contrast and surprise; that it
must be able to leap lightly over that
little chas,n which separates the ridicu-
lous from the sublime; that there must
be in it what DIR. johnson calls a dis
cordia concors, is but to say that its au-

Utah, of which he is now regent. In
his youth he was considered rather wild
and once left the Mormon church, but
was brought back through the influence
of his father. He is a printer and
newspaper writer of some ability. He is
an apt pupil of his father, from whom
he has gained much knowledge of the
game of politics, and is also something
of an orator. In one Of his recent cam
paign speeches Mr.. Cannon said that the
Republican party would roll away the
stone from the door and resurrect free sill
yer, or else there would be trouble,
which may indicate something of what
may be expected of him in the senate.
Senator Brown is a gentle. He is one
of the most prominent lawyers in the
state, and his interests have always been
closely connected with those of mine
owners. He moved to Utah from Mich
igan about . years ago. He is vigor-
