A Hot Retort.

The Widow Teeter's husband had
heed dead only a few weeks when there
were surface indications that she was
about to marry again.
The late Mr. Teter had not been ex-
actly a model husband. and it was the
general opinion that his death was a
stroke OF good fortune for Mrs Teter.
but still the relatives of the deceased
thought that his memory required a
widowhood of at least year When
the indications of the approaching mar
late husbands friends waited on Mrs.
Teeter, and one of them said:
we hear that YOU are about 10
marry again, Lucy Ann"
We'll. I don't know that it is any of
your business" replied Lucy Ann, but
if il viii give You any satisfaction to
know the facts, l don't mind telling you
that l shall be a married woman again
IN about two weeks"
But Tom has been dead less than
three months" protested another.
We'll. l suppose he's as dead as he
ever Will be. isn't hc?'
But" said q third. YOU ought in
common decency to wait until ne is
cold"
Wait until Tom Teeter is coldi" re-
peated the widow with fire in her eye.
II your theological belief is orthodox.
you must know that Tom Teetcr hasn't
ghost of show of ever getting cold. -
Then the ohjecting relatives filed cut
and Mrs Teeter resumed the worn of
preparing her rousseau.-Truth.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.

The Office of the acknowledgement, the
weather being too inclement for work in

pahey- The battery will remove to the

specIion by Captain Gibbs. who has
written the Ogden commander for advice
on the subject and the setting of a date
II Is presumed the boys at the junction
Slty are cleaning up little ere they ask
for looking over.
Captain David Thomas writes CAPTAIN
GlDOs 81 this city, that he and Lieuten-
ant Abbott made an investigation of the
work dcne by the shells from the 81 inch
guns at the Harrington encampment re-
Gently. There being no targets provided,
practice was had at a natural object
viz: a rock The words of Captain
THOMAS are:
Lieutenant Abbott thinks the shot pen
otrated at least foot in the solid rock
tere exploding)- You can measure ten
inches, but the stone being creased, or
large crevlces here and there, il is hard
shot"
Speaking of the effect of the shell on
the earth, although the storms have
f,ets7-ANN q s.ltcl QGdl u the GdTln away
since the time of firing, Captain Thomas
says there are still holes there from two
TO two and half feet in depth.
The fragments of shell scattered IN all
directions 10 distance OF at least 150
feet.
In the report of target practice for the
year Colonel Tatlock VIII undoubtedly
recommend the consolidation OF the TWO
batteries into a battalion organization
with the two GatlingS organized into
light battery of - men. This will be bet
ter for all concerned and would have
been done long ago, but for the opDosi-
ton of an officer who was afraid OF being
ranked in an election which would have
followed No reflection is intended upon
the present administration or any officer
now in the service but it IS a fact just
the same. Were the two batteries con-
solidated into an organization there
would be some encouragement offered,
by the commanding officer. which is not
extended al present, through no particu-
lar fault of anyone. The Ogden people
are all right. but up TO date they have
been overlooked to a considerable extent.
If the guns were to be removed from
that city and the organization disbanded,
there would be great roar from the
papers up there, but up 10 date they
have received no encouragement at the
hands OF any of the journals of the city.
There are no reports of drills, no men
ton of conditions or anything of the sort
which the papers in other places in Utah
are continually giving the organizations
located in places where they are pub
lished.

Grant and Pickett.

We all criticised Grant for the drastic
war measure of his by which he dis
continued the exchange of prisoners.
but he certainly behaved very hand
somely to Lee and Lees troops at APP
pomattoX. And when he became Presi-
dent he was kind in giving places to
ex-Confederates. Longstreet himself
profited by Grants friendship in that
way. Grant offered to make General
Pickett a United States Marshal but
Pickett declined the office, telling Grant
that popular as Grant was with the
people he (GranD could not afford to
make such an appointment. This was
as much as to say that Pickett could
not afford to change his affiliations
and that for him not to do so would
be to injure Grant in the view Of the
Northern public. President Davis spoke
very kindly indeed of General Grant in
a letter published about the time of
Grants death. Indeed, Grant stands
higher in the estimation of the South
ern veterans than any General of the
war on the Northern side.-Richmond

once" said Mr.. Stow, long before the
railroad shows were in existence We
Travelled by wagons from town to town
in those days, halting on the outskirts
of the town to enable the circus people
to put on their show clothes and pre-
pare for the parade. We were to show
IN small town in Pennsylvania. and I
had noticed that a bridge over which
the wagons were to pass was weak [
sent word to Mr.. Barnum to put the
1hinocerous wagon at the rear, but he
did not do so, and as it was in ad-
vance it broke the bridge. The show
did not reach the town in time to make
much of parade
THAT night Mr.. Barnum was seated
in the village hotel, when an angry lot
of people who We're disappointed at
the size of the parade waited upon him
and told him that he was a fraud
How SOP said Barnum.
Well replied the spokesman for
the crowd, you advertised two miles of
parade and there was only one
Yes replied Barnum, there was
one mile of parade and another mile of
cussed fools following it. That makes
two miles, doesn't it?' -

MANDA, THE CONVERTED MULE.
From Being Vicious Kicker She Sue
Cumbed to Kindness.

The author of How Marcus Ward
Saved Oregon" tells pretty story of a
vicious mule that suffered change of
heart" says the Galveston News"
Manda, as the mule was named, was
the off-leader of a team of six ami
mails, and was as beautiful as a picture.
She would pull and stand and hold the
wagon as obediently as possible, but
by nature she was wild and vicious
and an inveterate kicker. She allowed
herself to be shod, seeming to under
stand that this was a necessity, but
except on such occasions no one ven
tured within range of her heels save
at his peril. One night during stam-
pede 'Manda was struck by a flying
picket-pin and received a deep cut in
the hind leg.
The wound was SO severe, and the
flies became so annoying, that we de-
cided to leave the suffering animal be-
hind. The leg swelled and she did not
attempt to put the foot to the ground.
1t was my duty that morning to bring
the loose stock, and seesthat nothing of
value was overlooked in camp. L was
ready to start when / went up to the
mule that had come with us all the long
journey of 5000 miles, and had been
faithful servant. 1 began petting her
and expressing my regret that we must
leave her for the Indians and wolves.
Never before had the famous six
mule team gone on without 'Manda
prancing off as the leader. She rubbed
me with her nose, and laid it on my
shoulder and seemed to beg as elo-
quently as dumb beast could, Don't
leave me behind" and with it all there
was a kindly look in her eyes that
had never seen there before.
! stood stroking her head for some
time; then patted her neck and walked
little back, but constantly on guard
It was then that the mule turned and
looked at me, and at the same time
held up the wounded leg.
Cautiously then I ventured to take
hold of the wounded leg. / rubbed it and
fondled it without her showing any
symptoms of resentment. l got instru-
ments sewed the wound up, Sewed
bandages tightly about the leg. made
a capital dressing, and we started
leaving 'Manda. She soon began to
bear her weight upon the wounded
limb, and had no difficulty in keeping
up with the train.
When the bandage became misplaced
any one of us could stop in the road
and, without assistance, readjust them,
the mule standing patiently the while.
She finished the journey with us, and
no handsomer animal ever journeyed
across the plains. She was never known
to kick afterward and Mandas
Change of heart" became a stock ex-
preston.

Long Time Between.

The barkeeper laid down the inter-
estlng account of the war operations in
the East. which he had been reading as
old Cap'n Butler came rolling in for his
regular "'leven O'clock" and reluc-
family passed over the decanter. For

tablished. for being long on time and
short on cash.
You may put that down along 18th

he returned the glass and passed the
back of his hand lightly across his elo-
quent lips.

as he rinsed the glass.
1nasmuch as TO wherefore?" the
Cap'n wondered. Because they allus
takes a large quantity of water?" he
facetiously added.
NO" retorted the barkeeper. wipine
off the counter
why, them" the Cap'n persisted.
Because they go twenty days with

er, as he lugged out the slate and jotted
down another unearned score.

HIS IMAGINATION KILLED HIM.
| A r1an Who Thought a Puncture of
His Skin Was Bullet Hole.

ssIn my opinion" remarked the college
Professor, who rose from the ranks dur
ing the last war to the position of Col
onel, according to the Washington
Star" "the imagination of men does
more injury to the cause of courage
than all the appliances of war yet dis
covered. ] had a remarkable expert
ence during the battles around Rich
mond. That is to say, it happened to
another man, but / was part of 1t. 1t
was on a skirmish line and l was lying
behind log with two other men--I
was only a private then-one of whom
was an inveterate joker, and the other
was one of the imaginative kind OF sol
diers. In fact, he was so imaginative
that he was almost scared out of his
wits, and when bullets and shells began
flying through the woods, cutting Oft
saplings, clipping limbs all around us
and barking the top of the log behind
which we lay, I thought the fellow
would burst a blood vessel or so crazy
or do some other fool thing unbecoming
a soldier. Tom, the joker, noticed the
mans terror and called my attention
to it.
Then he reached out and dragged in
a stick cut from the tree above us by
bullet and fixing pin in it proceeded
to have his fun. The man was at the
far end of our log, ten feet from Tom,
and 1 was just beyond Tom ON the other
side and, I'm free to confess, was ner-
vous enough to wonder at Toms man
ner at such a time. However, couldn't
help watching his movements and ac-
tually laughed to see him sliding the
PIN pointed stick along toward the un
sl.specting victim. Having got it at the
right distance he waited for smashing
Volley of bullets and just as ii came he
prodded the soldier in the back with the
pin. Well, it was really funny to see
the chap jump and yell and roll over,
and we both fairly howled. But it was
not so funny when the man didn't move
after his first startled action, and Tom
looked around at me in a scared sort of
way. His surprise found expression in
an oath, and he called the man. There
was no answer and he called again with
the same result. Then he crept over TO
him and gave him a shake. That
brought no response either and Tom
dragged him around SO that he could
see his face. 1T was an ashy blue, with
the eyes staring wide open, and the man
was as dead as julius Caesar with
never a mark on him save, perhaps,
that one pin scratch in his back"

THE ADVANCE AGENT.
THE WANT.

Fresno Expositor. The American
workingman is waking up to the fact
that the European money standard
means the European wage scale and
the European style of living by Amer
ican toilers. The Democratic platform
declares for the only kind of protection
that protects. 1t is the restriction of
foreign immigration. That's the kind
of protection the laboring man wants,
and he wants it bad.
