HER LETTER.

Pm looking, dear Kate, at your letter,
That I've held to my heart thirty
years;
Ny lone heart is Drawer and better
For the truth that you told through
tears.
Yet, often when sad and unlucky,
My soul sent sigh unto thee,
And the friends that loved in
Kentucky,
Who have passed ever life's troubled
sea.
The "blue grass" grows green DER
your pillow,
Where the hooking bird sings all
the day;
While signs from the wild, weeping
willow,
Are heard Ger your crumbling clay,
And, deep in my soul theresa
sorrow,
That heaven alone can reveal
Increasing with every tomorrow
A sorrow that genius can feel.
Ger mountains and seas 1 have wan
dered,
Through deserts and temples I've
trod;
BY pyramids loitered and pondered
And gazed through the stars up tC
God.
Yet, never on earth could I cherish
A form by fountain or foam,
Like those of my heart that can't
perish.
Who rest in my sweet, sunny home
4 few days, and l shall soon follow
The road that you trod long ago,
Where wild roses grow in the hol
low,
And brooklets still babble and flow

COLONEL ROBERT
G. INGERSOLL

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
will lecture at the Grand opera
house Saturday night, February
8, on Liberty of Man, Woman
and Child"
Colonel Ingersoll was the
first of the noted lecturers to
bring to his aid the modern and
far reaching machinery of the
theatrical system Of manage
ment," said Chas. A. Davis,
manager of the famous orator,
during a chat about the magne
tic Ingersoll last evening. "Be
fore that even the old time
giants of the lecture world,
Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell
Phillips and John B. Cough,
were managed in the most pro-
vincial way. They were rented
out to literary societies and
churches. Colonel Ingersoll is
the only lecturer who invaria-
bly, does business in the regu-
lar theatrical way. BY that /
mean that he always plays on
sharing terms with the local
managers, never insisting upon
guarantees or eertainties as
Beecher did and other promi
nent lecturers Of to-day do. In
gersoll is the only lecturer in
the world who can draw..packed
houses without the aid of local
societies.
''In the old days the distin-
guished lecturers were always
the object of much social atten-
ton. But Colonel Ingersoll is
entirely unconventional. When
he goes into a city to lecture he
does not become a guest Of a
prominent citizen. He goes to
a hotel, generally on the Euro
pean plan, where he can eat
whatever pleases him. At the
home of a prominent citizen
fhe old time star lecturer was
generally there on exhibition be-
fore a number of gusestS whom
he was expected to entertain.
Unlike the platform orators OF
other days, Colonel Ingersoll
Mas no one to make a fulsome
address Of introduction over to
his andience. He walks alone
en- the stage, and does not even
have the time honored pitcher
of ice water to keep him com
Jany.
His love of simplicity con
frols him in all the affairs Of
fife. While the colonel is diff
Serent from all other stars il
she lecture armament, he ha:
done them a great service IL
keeping that high class of en-
trrtainment in touch with mo
slprn progress. The provincial
Jy managed old timers wer'
generally a so cent attraction
hut the success of Colonel In
gersoll as the past grand mas
Ter of platform orators is bes
allestrd by the fact that tn
people are willing to pay NOR
than double the old price t

There are many other industries
that could be established in our
vicinity, with profit and benefit.
There are HUNDREDS of pounds Of
rope brought into Utah, yearly,
and an industry in that line, would

material to manufacture rope from
can be easily grown in our midst,
and we believe that the fiber Of
the different varities of Dose could
be utilized very proftably, in the
manufacture Of rope. In the early
years OF Dixie, the natives use to
manufacture a very serviceable
rope out Of the fiber Of the milk
weed or wild spurge.
There are thousands of yards of
cal pet imported, yearly, that ought
to be produced at home.
There is an abundance Of iron

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
(COntinued)

When Captain Cook first an
chored at the islands, it was in the
night. " hen morning came the
natives, for the first time, saw
white man. They were called
smoking volcanoes. Their speech
unknown, their heads horned, like
the moon, the natives believing
the sailors hats was part Of
the head. In their sides were
doors (pockets) into which they
put their hands and drew out va
rious articles-knives, tobacco, etc.,
and their skins { clothes) Loose.
In 1920 the first missionaries
with their wives landed at the is
lands to christianize the natives.
This was the first white women
they ever saw. The natives said
their faces were round and white
and they wore hats with spouts and
their faces far in. This was SO
wonderful to see that the natives
followed the women, peering under
their bonnets and feeling their
dresses, which the natives called
loose skins, and took liberties in
examining and handling their
dresses, which was permitted, as
no offence was intended. When
them issionaries commenced their
labors and engaged in prayers clos
ing theireyes as were their custom,
the natives were frightened, and
they fled, for fear, thinking they
were being prayed to death.
ltwas believed by the Hawaiians
that they had 2 souls, one of which
remained with the body after death,
the other went to Pc Ca place of
darkness or night, the other had
power to come back with messages
to their living friends, telling who
should have possession of their
personal effects or property, even
visiting their friends living on
another island, who knew nothing
OF the death of their friend or rela-
tive, as the case might be.
Rank was hereditary and decend-

Lovers of perfume will be
pleased to know that an emf
nent French specialist has dis
covered that many of these
fragrant essences are not only
harmless, but of actual value
to health. He demonstrates
this fact by the result of ex-
periments whereby he exposed
number of disease microbes to
the action of various essential
oils distilled from flowers and
plants. Bitter almond, thyme,
lemon, and mint proved exceed
ingly killing, while lavender
ranked higher than either euca-
lyptus, turpentine or camphor.
We have an immense assort-
ment of Roger & Gallet's famous
