"Well, know he is fond of fish, so I
brought quite string of small river fish
and several large ones from the DAM"
"I'm not much at doing the honors when
we have minister at the table," said
George; "but guess We can get through
it all right"
Half an hour later they were seated at
by the minister. A little Dervously the
head Of the house began dishing out the
vegetables, and turning to the guest,
said: "Will you have some Of the little
river fish or would you prefer some of
the dam big tish?"

table from his wife was unnecessary.
He knew he had Numbered, and cold
beads of perspiration started out of his
forehead. 81 mean"-trying to repair the
error-"will you try some of the dam
river fish or some of the bis fish ?"
Worse, and more OF it! His daughter
slyly pulled his coat tail to bring him to
his senses. 'That is, would you like
some of the river fish or some of the other
dam fish 20
The deep carnation spreading over the
good lady's face, he plunged once more:
"Ahem. Which of the dam fish do you
prefer anyhow ?"-Exctange.

It might as we'll be und
first as last that the Salt Lake anc
Pacific asd Utah and California
railways are to be the work of Utah
people, for the benefit Of Utah peo-
pie. While there will be nothing al
together exclusive in their construc-
ton or management, there will al
SO be no sighting of important
points or neglect of growing inter-
ests near their proposed routes in
this State. These remarks are
called forth by the conclusion of
an article in this mornings Her
aid, in which the statement is made
with rs much gravity as though it
were true that the proposed road
to California will not strike St.
George according to the route de-
cided upon" We are further in
formed that this "fact" has been
overlooked in the descriptions pub
lished, and are assured that it is
an important one. II the premises
were correct the conclusion would
undoubtedly be; but the former be-
ing the result of reporters ina
gination, the latter fades into in
significance so far as itself is con-
cerned. The Salt Lake and Pa
cific goes westward from this city
to Deep Greek, and the Utah and
California goes southwdrd to the
last named state, via st. George,
Utah. F .Ga
st. George may or may not be
penetrated by the iron highway at
any point within it's corporate
limits; great many towns which
appear on the railway maps to be
so situated are not. It will, how
ever, be one of the stations Of the
Utah and California and one of the
most important ones at that. For
all practical purposes the town will
be directly on the line," our
contemporary to the contrary not
withstanding. Such statements are
not only misleading but mischiev-
Gus; and deserve to be frowned
down wherever or by whomscever
made. -Deseret Evening Neaos.

We had implicit confidence in
each other AMI the love of the
gospel that was in our hearts was
such that it was no hardship to us
to share our scanty homes and pro-
visions with the servants of God.
Many timesI have seen three or four
desire the elders to 60 with them,
and I knew they did not have
enough in their house to make
them comfortable, but they we're
willing to share what little they
had and would spend half the night
in listening to the elders talk on
the principles of the gospel and
we did not get tired. Well do l
remember going six miles one sun
day to meeting anda young woman
gave in her name for baptism, and
we dare not do the baptising in the
day time, so I stayed there in or

o'clock in the morning when I was

be suniclent-fv-inducc them to put forth
their best efforts. The service should
be absolutely divorced from politics and
brought strictly to business principles.
Only in this way can 1t become thor
oughly eflicicut and useful.
1t will hardly be asserted that the
consular service is now upon this basis.
Most of those who occupy places in it
were democratic politicians and not
many of these are likely to ever reach
the standard of the ideal business con-
sui. 1t will be the duty, rs 1t will doubt
less be the desire, of the incoming ad-
ministration to improve the consular
servicc-to elevate its character and to
increase its efficiency and usefulness.
In order to do this it will certainly be
necessary to make some changes. though
probably these will not be SO sweeping
as under the present administration. In
that case there can be no just complaint

The stars in their courses-or the officials
In their ignOrance-seem to have been fight
ing for the prohibtionists of South Da-
kota. AS outlined in a special dispatch to
this paper from Pierre 1t seems to be ap-
parent that. by an error OF the officials,
all the amendments adopted at the recent
election there are null. The laws OF 1895
distinctly provide that whenever a proposed
amendment to the constitution shall be sub
mitted to a vote it shall be printed upon
each ticket on the ballot. This was not
done. Therefore 1t is possible that the four
amendments lately voted on, foremost Of
which Is that repeating the prohibtOry ar
tcle In the constitution, were not legally
adopted. The other amendments have to do
with minor matters, one limiting the in
debtedness OF any county or municipal cor
poration to per cent of its assessed valu-
alton: one abolishlng the board OF trustees
OF the different educational institutions OF
the state, and one for the suppression Of
trusts. Notwithstanding the clearly ex-
pressed will OF the people In favor OF the
amendments, IL does not now appear that
the vote can be sustained. However one
may feel as TO the success OF prohibition
in South Dakota, this result Is to DO re-
gretted.

GERMAN ANT,-oyTtoN Law.

The volume of consular reports for No
vembrr contains the salient features of
! the law which recently went into effect
| in Germany to check speculation in food
products, principally grain, ana in
stocks. This legislation was brought
about by the agrarian party and it pro
vidcS that the governments consent
! must bc had for establishing an eX-
change and when established its trans
actions will be supervised by Il govern
ment official. Stocks ana bonds can be
listed only after nm investigation of their
soundneSS and the prospectus required
to be issued giving all the particulars
of such securities binds the persons who
sign it to make good losses due to mis-
leading statements or omissions. All
dealings in futures or ION term at the
exchanges is prohibited, unless the par
ties are entered on the exchange regis
ter, for which they must pay fee. Tn
registered dealers can have no legal
claims arising from sales. Dealing in
grain and mill products is entirely for
CnCCd persons to speculate in articles
not in their line of business are subject
to fine and Imprisonment.
Referring to this legislation the Amcri-
can consul at Magdcburg says it will
be terrible blow to the produce cX-
changes. He also says that the export
of grain from the United States to Ger
many will suffer. because the German
dealer cannot now buy great quantities
at time. for the reason that he cannot
cover himself in advance by term sales.
Writing undcr date of August 81, Con

expect many advantages. especially n
rise in the price of grain. from this law.
they have so far been disappointed be

said that the law is working to The dis
advantage Of The .agral ians. that there

holding and of the commercial classes

tion of the law is in force.
There is Il demand for anti-option leg
iSlati0n in other European countries and
the outcome of the German experiment
is awaited with no little interest by the
agricultural classes of those countries
American agricultural producers will
also undoubtedly be Interested in this
attempt TO check and regulate specula-

effective for this purpose in Germany
would be impractcable in the United
