Provoked 8 Speech.

A good story is told of the way in which a New England senator was once aroused to make astirring speech. At the outset of his political career he had been4lnown as remarkably clever "orator of the stump" and later on, in the lower house of the legislature, he made brilliant name for himself. But when he became a senator he ceased talking, much to the regret of his friends and admirers. Finally the liquor law came up for discussion, and the wife of a friend of the senator, who was much interested in it's passage, was greatly disappointed to see that the brilliant man had no apparent in tention of joining in the discussion. She sat dowe and wrote a few words on sheet of paper, which she inelosed iR an envelope and sent by 2. messenger to the senator. Do speak! Even Ba- laamls ass spoke once!" This brought the senator to his feet and elicited one of the best speeches he ever made.

LET DOWN EASY.
How a Fair Guest Divined the Governors
 Intentions.


 When Mr. Tilden was occupying the gubernatorisl chair of the state of New York and had under consideration the appointment of judge friend of Judge PeelEhan, who was a candidate for the place, was urging the judges claim, and besought the assistance of a lady, who at that time happened to be visitor at the gubernatorial mansion. Although at that time everything seemed reasonably to indicate the ap- pointment of Judge Peckham, the lady assured her questioner that his candi- date had no chance whatsoever. Sure enough, another man was appointed, and in the course of time it came about that Gov. Tilden learned of the surpris- ing precedence of his fair guest. He asked her how she was able to divine his intentions so clearly in regard to this particular man. Why she said, ''that was not difficult. You brought hirn home to dinner one day and that of itself made me suspect. Then at the table you set before him your choice Johan- nisberg wine, and I knew from that mo- ment tliat he had no chance of appoint ment. The man who has your Johan- nisberg is to be let down easy"

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
How It Was Observed in This City by
 the MexicanS.

The Mexican population of Phoenix yesterday celebrated the eighty-sixth anniversary of MeXico's independence. In the evening at the opera house a large crowd of the Mexican population gathered The exercises consisted of the singing of the national hymn and the reading of the declaration of in dependence. Patriotic addresses were also delivered by a few orators. The event was concluded by a dance which lasted until early morn.
 The 16th of September is held in the same estimation by tine MeXicans that the Fourth of July is to patriotic Americans.
 In the year 1908 the Indians and na- tives decided to throw off the Spanish yoke. The usumpation of the throne of Ferdinand of Spain by Bonaparte caused great excitement in Mexico, which was enhanced by the imprison- ment of the viceroy, Don Jose de Iturrigary, suspected of a design to seize the crown of Mexico (September 16, 1S0S).
 After his arrest the prestige of Span ish authority declined among the Mex jeans, who began to long for inde- pendence. IA conspiracy was formed, and on September 15, 1910, revolt broke out in the provinces of Guana- juato, headed 'by a priest, Don Miguel HidalgO, man of much talent and considerable influence among the h. dians. He suffered several defeats and was finally betrayed to his enc mics in March, 1811. Four months later he was shot.
 The contest was continued by Nor clos, also a priest, who called a na- tional congress, which met in Septem- Der, 1913, and in November declared Mexico independent Morelos was soon after captured and executed as a rebel. For several years the contest was a mere partisan warfare on the part of the patriots. After several battles the leaders of the revolution were either killed or imprisoned and long before 1920 the authority of Spain was again established in Mexico. In 1921 Don Augustin Iturbide, a native Mexican and a colonel in the Mexican army, who during recent civil wal was on the side of the royalists, now threw off his allegiance and began the second revolution by proclaimine Mexico independent February 24, 1921 The revolt of Iturbide was eminently successful, for in the course of a few months the whole country recognized his authority, except Mexico City. By treaty he obtained possession of Mex. leo on September 27 and instituted g regency, of which he was the head.
 Spain made several unsuccessful at. tempts to regain the lost colony and ir the year 1929 the republic of Mexico was recognized by the United States.

How a Clever English Woman Swindled
 Well-to-Do Bachelors.


 The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, really tinguished-lookingE Eng lishwoman. She has been married and given in marriage at least 90 times dur ing the last three years. while she has been afiianced as many times more dur ing the same period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jcwelry, which she has inn mediately sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, ! was to write to some rich bachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow Of an English nobleman witll view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem, many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were Introduced to the "widow Of the English noblenian," all | lowed to escort her to the theater, make her presents of flowers the first day, i gloves the second, while on the third, | if the ardent would-be husband had not suggested it, she would quietly choose a wedding ring, with handsome keeper, accompanied by diamond necklace, i brooch, and earrings, all these to con- stitute her wedding present. Then she would disappear with her jewels, change her clothes and name, and start the same gam; with another victim the i following day. She would sometimes have two proposals of marriage on hand at the same time; she always calculated upon the fraiity Of human nature and the great dislike the victims would have to being puoi,cally exposed to ridicule for hariI'e SC simply been take n in with the prcraises of the fajr Er2ii iiv-oman.

My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.

At the Tabernacle.

Apostles George Teasdale and
Brigham Young addressed the large
audience at the tabernacle yesterday
afternoon.
Apostle Teasdale said that of the
varied blessings received by Latter-day
Saints there was one precious above all
others. 1t cannot be attained without
good works. Christ, when he was here,
laid down certain conditions by an au-
herence to which salvation would
come to man. The Redeemer had a
right to lay down those eternal con-
G,,Uns, for by his blood the power Of
redemption was purchased. This gift
of blessing is the holy spirit, the DIVINE
agent which makes US wise in all
things. This spirit is necessary to
free US from darkness, superstition and
priestcraft. 1t does not come until
after the baptism Of water, which
cleanses the believer of sin. Then by
the power and authority of Christ this
spirit of intelligence is conferred upon
US, according to the promise made by
the Savior and his apostles. Not until
he received this spirit was Peter able
to say positively that Jesus was both
Lord and Christ When he told the
Savior he knew this he was told God
had revealed it to him by the Lord.
There was no way for him to gain a
knowledge of this except by the revela-
ton, upon which the superstructure Of
his church is built, and which defies
the war of the adversary or the gates
of hen.
This proclamation of truth by the
Latter-day Saints is not believed of
the world. They reject the doctrine
because they are not spiritually wise.
The glory of God is intelligence. but
not the kind of intelligence that comes
merely of scholastic training. A man
may be worldly wise and yet a fool
for saying there is no God. Intelli-
gence is priesthood and not anything
of the earth earthly. In the last day
many shall rise out of the dust, some
to glory and some to shame and ever
lasting contempt. Those who arise ito
darkness are men who by denying
God and his Christ are fools.
Apostle Brigham Young said such
words as had Just been spoken fill the
breast with hope of a future and hap
pier life. God had made plain to his
children his desires concerning them.
All they needed to attain his glory
was to abide by his commandments.
The Iaatter-daY Saints could not deny
what God has revealed to them how
ever much they might be prosecuted.
1t had been the good fortune of the
people to receive the Lords spirit,
which brightens the soul and illumin-
ates the mind. Without this spirit of
inspiration there was a spirit of man
that led him on seemingly in the light
but eventually to destruction. There
was a spark of divinity born in every
heart. and this should be nourished
that it may not be allowed to flicker
and vanish This spirit of truth is
necessary in every avocation of life,
whether mechanism, art or engineer
ing. It was this spirit that enabled
the Saints to attain measurable per-
lection in building cities and irrigat-
ing the soil. The people should make
Utah the ideal state-the Mecca. of the
cody of all the earth.
