Six Miles Of CrocodiIes.

A reward was once offered in one of
the Indian states Of rupee for each
foot of crocodile killed. If a seven
teen-foot crocodile was killed the killer
got II rupees. Some 10000 rupees were
paid for crocodiles while the offer of the
reward held good, say nearly six miles
of crOcodiles. Then it was found that
crocodiles were being imported from
various adjacent states, and reward pay
ing was stopped.

WAYS OF FATE.

There was q king of Wall street once
He started with a dime;

But didn't have the time.

CAUGHT ON A FLY.

The famous naturalist, Frank Buck
land, very seldom wore an OvercOat, but
when he did SO it was more because OF
the extra pockets it contained than fol-
warmth.
When he returned from France on one
occasion, he had his overcOat stuffed with
natural history specimens of all sorts
dead and alive. Among them was a
monkey, which was placed in the large
breast pocket.
When Mr.. auckland was getting the
ticket, the monkey thrust his head out
and attracted the attention of the book
ing clerk, who Immediately said:
You must take an extra ticket fol
that dog"
Dog said the naturalist at is nc
dogr
But the clerk said:
You must pay for it.
The naturalist took tortoise out OF
his pocket, and said
Perhaps you call this a dog?"
No." said the clerk; eve make nc
charge for them; they're insects!''

courses of study; the Normal and

course in each. Besides the two
main courses the school furnishes
acourse for the educating of Sun

The students have for reference

volumes. The books may be drawn

SHIBBOLETH OF EPHRAIM.

The Ephraim Enterprise claims
to have discovered that an unusual
number Of missionaries is being
sent out of Utah by the Mormon
church this year and that from 50
to 80 per cent of them are demo-
Gratis. The San Pete journal
opines either that republican
church dignitaries are sending a.
way the democrats on missions in
order to prevent democratic VIC
tory next November, or that the
republican boys are not smart
enough to be entrusted with for
eign missions; and suggests that
the republicans of the state can
sieze either horn of the dilemma
they choose. Even if the Enter
prise is correct, it is very i'm
probable that it's conclusions will
meet with great favor among either
the democrats or republicans or the
Mormons or Gentiles of Utah.
Few would believe that "Box B."
is under the thumb of any political
party: that young men are called
by their ecclesiastical superiors to
endanger their lives, sacrifice their
property and break the ties which
bind them at home, all on the pre-
tense of fervent devotion to a re-
ligious belief and all for the pur-
pose Of insuring republican con-
quest this fall. On the other hand
few in Utah will place credence in
the theory that republican boys
haven't sense enough to hold their
own with the free-traders in the
pulpit. No, Bro. Murray, neither
horn of your visionary dilemma
will do to tie to, altho, if y, ur
assertions are well-founded, you
may have cause for lamentation;
for it is most likely that after
those democratic evangelists
have served their terms in the for
eign field and incidentally have
seen some of the world, they will
come back experimentation own
converts; and then, when the few
remaining democratic youth find
themselves in Utah they too will
exclaim "Woe is me if / preach
not the gospel!' -Richfeld Advo-
cate.
