One of the happiest men in Utah
when the election news was received
from Maine was DR.. Amasa S. Condor.
This week we publish a letter from
him i'll which he tells how the news
was received there. DR.. Condor is a
man Of sound Judgment, patriotic
American, republican of the staunch-
est type-in short, true son of
Maine. 1t follows that in the present
political fight he is arrayed on the
side of national honesty and universal
prosperity. In his state-a silver
state-he is engaged in a spirited war,
though the odds are against him. He
does not expect to win, but he prom
ises that after the election the demo-
Gratis of Utah VIII know there has been
a fight. Names fifty thousand i'm
parted new energy TO the doctor.

Is especially true in railroad life, where
the most horrible of deaths awaits q
careless step. A gentleman relates an
incident OF the kind, as seen in New Or
leans. The transfer vessel of the South
er1 Pacific was at its Pier, and looomo-
tive was hauling cars up the short but
steep grade to the dock. While the
gentleman was watching this operation,
he saw switchman, with lantern,
step ON the track right in front of the
approaching locomotive The engine
came ON, and just as 1t seemed theman
would be crushed, he gave little jump
and landed ON the fender, out of dan
ger. The slightest slip would have
meant death of @ horrible kind, and yet
he took the risk 20 times day. His
pay could have hardly been worth the
risk, but he never thought of that

BICYCLE AND WILD ANIMALS.
A Comic Papers Porcupine Joke Nearly
Realized In the Woods.

A Comic Papers Porcupine Joke Nearly
Realized In the Woods.
A comic paper printed a picture some
time ago that showed a man riding
along on his bicycle with porcupine
in the middle of the road before HIM.
The front wheel WENT into the porcu-
pines quilts, and the tire was pune
tured many times. Only those who have
ridden over country roads and have seen
the various animals that escape the
wheel by a narrow margin realize how
easily the Jest might come true
In the immediate vicinity of New
York good many small animals have
been Elled-rats, mice, sparrows, prob
ably gray squirrels and snakes-but in
the woods on good trail the wheelman
finds added possibilities that are not
entirely pleasant. The porcupine Joke
was almost reality one Sunday night
recently to a woodsman who had been
up to Morehouseville, % miles from
Northwood. The woodsman left More
housewife at II o'clock, and went spin
ming down grade to Northwood. A
five-mile patch of woods was soon
reached, and in this he came upon por-
cupine while going at $3.50 gait. His
lamp showed the beast just in time for
him to turn out, and go past less than
two feet from the prickly beast. This
same woodsman was one day riding up a
trail when he saw five cartridges ahead.
One of these birds did not see him until
it was so close that the wind from it's
wings famed his face. Between Car
thage and Lowville, N. Y, recently, a
skunk was found dead In the road. 1t
had been killed the night before by a
bicycle. Curiouslyenough theriderprob-
ably did not meet with disaster, as his
wheel had broken the skunk's back
