knew Henry then believed that he
would ever amount to much. but in q
few years he began to shine and after
wards grew to be an exceedingly bril-
liant man. 1t is supposed that Henry
always wore clothes made of clay
worsted, to avoid the possibility of
having suit that would try to out
shine him, because Clay Worsted never
shines. Any amount of hard wear on

In North Ogden.

Boys will be hoodlums it appears in
North Ogden. Last week number of
the miscreants entered the house of a
man named William Jones, broke in
and turned things topsy turvy gener-
ally, putting dishes on bed Stats, etc..
etc. Next they visited Frank Clifford S
place and wastefuily flung several
bushels of corn to the hogs. AT Hy-
rum -OTton's they pulled the feathers
from the tails of the poultry and tied
the wheelbarrow to the tail of Mr..
Orton's calf
Such things are rather amusing at
first to read about. but it has been
going on for months in the good pre-
cincts Of North, Ogden. and it is time
the authorities took hand.
A few dozen special constables seem
to be needed in North Ogden.

New York, Dec. 26.-With Joseph
the country, on one side of the struggle
and Thomas Collier Platt, one of the
shrewdest political leaders of the ma
ton, on the other side, the fight for
the senatorial berth occupied by David
B. Hill promises to be the fiercest in
the history of this state. Plat is a
born fighter; he has been a leader for
40 years, and he has suffered more de-
feats, perhaps, than any other political
general in the nation. Choate is moth
ing of a politician. In the So years of

alert. active look that is evidently sum-
moned for the occasion.
Choate, who is nephew of the great
RufuS Choate, graduated from Harvard
in 1852, and put in two more years in
the Dane law school. His native town
in New England did not promise much
in the wav of legal scope. and after
two years of hollow success, he came
to New York to take a place among the
suDernumeraries of the law office of
William n. Evarts. In time he be-
came a member of the firm, which to-
day reads Evarts, Choate & Beaman.
This firm is credited with receiving
fees to the amount of 100000 a year,
and the biggest share of them goes to
Choate. Long ago Mr.. Evarts ceased
to be an active worker for the firm.
and today his connection with 1t is
but trifle more than nominal
Is WORTH 81, 900 600.
Mr. Choate is worth at least s., 000-
COO, every penny of it earned by the
internal sweat of his brow. He has
made his fortune, and now he is eager
to give I'D at least $500, 900 a year for a
infinitesimal in comparison. So it is
clear that Choate - not looking for
office for what there is in it.
PlattS ambition to return to the SEN
ate is a species of political romance.
Seventeen years ago Platt was a candi-
date for the senate. President Garfield
was to be inaugurated in the following
March. and he was opposed to Platt
because Plat had fought his nomina
ton, just as he fought the nomination
of Mckinley at the st. Louis conven-
ton. The new administration exerted
every atom of it's power TO defeat him,
but Plat had the machine and Roscoe
Conkling at his back and he won.
THE FAMOUS RESIGNATION.
Garfield had no love for Conkling or
Plat. and he saw to it that none of
the federal patronage passed through
the hands of the two New York sena-
tors. A machine without patronage is
like an engine without fuel, and Conk-
ling and Platt talked it over and agreed
to resign. Their designations were
handed in, and Conkling made his ia
nous speech denunciatory of Garfield.
Platt was never good speaker. and,
moreover, he was regarded as the vas
sal of Conkling. 1t was this that led
to the name Me Too being attached
to Platt. In those days Platt was
supposed to do everything thai Conk-
ling did, but, as a matter of cold fact,
it was Plat who first suggested to
Conkling the advisability of their re-
signing from the senate. Their reSig-
nations occurred on Monday, May 10,
1881.
Platt's aggressiveness is remarkable,
and he does not fear to arouse anta2-
onism in the highest quarters. When
he was a small power in Republican
politics. away back in 1873. he attacked
the administration of President Hayes.
He was the enemy of Garfield, of Ar
thur, of Harrison, and his feeling for
is not of the tenderest. He
fought Blaine when the latter was in
power. but in the convention of 1892
he worked his hardest to win the NOM
ination for the Maine man. Today he
is the truest political friend that Tom
Reed has, and if the fates land him in
the senate he will leave no stone I'M
turned TO secure the nomination for
the Maine statesman in the national
convention of 1900.

What will the women do with all

While store men fail and tailorS frown?

However lovely woman looks,

If cloth is plenty. what they save
Each one to spend at once will crave
On a new hat.

Richfeld Events.

Richfield, Dec. 26.-Christmas passed
off quietly here with the exception of
one exciting incident. Fife Nelson, a
13-year-old daughter of Amos Mel
son, was building a fire in the stove
when her clothing took fire. The apron
she wore had been smeared with coal
oil the day before and quickly ignited.
Struck with terror she ran into the
street, where o. A. Andelin saw her
and called out, telling her to jump into
the ditch. She did so, and with his
help the flames were soon out She
was not injured.
Sheep men are greatly concerned
over the shortage of snow as the sheep
cannot get out to the plentiful feed.
Diphtheria is in Richfield again. J.
J. Jensen's family mourn the loss of
a 3-year-old girl from the dreaded dis
ease.
Beginning with January 1 the South

Morrison, instead of George H. Crosby,

the new partner in the business.
