HOW DE SMITH TURNED SEVERAL TIA
 BLeS ON HIS FRIEND JONES.

Started In Witt a Shower Bath. Followed
 With Several Other Annoying PIeasan- tries and Wound Up With a Grand On-
 slaught of Life Insurance Agents.
 Well. l guess I've got even with Jones all right enough for all the prac- t1caI jokes he has been playing on me for the last week, 7" said De Smith gleefully, as he hung up his coat and took his seat at the luncheon table with party of friends.
 Flows that:" asked one of the friends.
 Well. Jones is a great joker, you know" explained De Smith. He thinks it's good thing to thump and pound like the deuce on fellows door as he goes down the hotel corridor about o'clock in the morning. lie nev- CT goes to bed when a decent man should, and he rather resents it if any of his friends do. He has been pound ing on my door that way now almost every morning for the past week"
 Why didn't you get up and kick hlm:" asked one of the party.

Twas fixed for him when he came along this morning. l had a big pail of water fixed over the tTansOm, and when old Jonesiecame along and began thump- ing I pulled the string fastened to it, and heard old Jonesie curse under his breath and mutter, Darn you, De Smith, I'll get even for this. Then he walked down the hall and I looked out in time to see him shaking the water off his coat and hat. "
 "That was getting even pretty well, old man. wish could have seen him when the food struck him." put in one of the party.
 "Oh, that was all right for a start er," said De Smith, 'but it wasn't half the dose I gave him after. You see, Jones has been breaking my sleep for a week, and it took more than bucket of water to square accounts. anticipated his visit of this morning, so last night before going to bed I left an order to call him at o'clock. Old Jonesie didn't get to bed before o'clock, so he didn't get much sleep be- fore 6. Then bell boy began to pound on his door and shout that it was time to get up. Jones shouted back to the boy to get out or he'd break his neck, but the boy replied that he had orders to get Jones out of bed and he was go- ing to do it. Finally Jones got up in his rage and hustled down to the hotel office to find out what in thunder they meant by breaking his sleep that way The clerk told him there was an order for call at o'clock, and that was all he knew about it.
 Well, Jonesie went back to bed, but he didn't get to sleep again. I paid the bell boy enough to prevent that, and at 9 o'clock he came down to breakfast l was down town by that time, so I rang Jonesie up on the telephone. My office boy got him on the wire and told him to wait just a moment, please. Well, Jonesie waited about five minutes aud then gave the bell a vicious ring. The boy answered tae ring and asked Jluesie what .r wanted. [ want to know who rang m. ap, said Jcua-ie. Nobody here, said the boy, and he said he

OF the city just back of the northeast

Otterson, Fred Hitesman, Walter Hites-
man and Laurance Brems. None CT
them are twenty years OF age yet their
deeds were.as daring as those OF Ben
Tascoe. 1t seems that for several weeks
past they have been making regular
roundups Of the horses in Tickville and
the Lake mountains and correlling them
in the sheep pen about two miles from
Beck's warm springs ranch. They
would leave the older horses in tie
Sheep pen and bring the unbranded colts
over to Lehi and pasture them in the
fields north OF town. One day last week
they branded d. IL. ON five of these
mavericks" Bat they were not con-
tented with colts so they captured Il
span of mules belonging to man IN
American Fork. One of these they had
traded off and were to have delivered it
on the day Marshal Thomas made the
raid. How it came to be found out was
that stockmen riding the range in the
neighborhood OF the shearing pen found
it full OF horses and number OF mares
with their colts missing. Simultaneous
ly farmers on the north OF town iounc
that their gates and fences had beer
broken and strange bands OF horses il

in the neighborhood with their brand

make his arrest he found that two Of tn
boys had anticipated him and left, on
on horse and one on the stolen mule

Piles were being driven in one of the

on the outside, looking very much lie

seven women had holG of the ends. and
with sing-song, all together, pulled
down; up the rod, four feet, trav-

let go. and down it came on top OF the
( pile, which was protected by band or

gold per day. This Maypole driver is
in general use throughout Japan and
China.

year still more difficult OF correct deter

first to observe that lunar month is
composed OF 29ls days, they, therefore,
divided the year into twelve parts or
months placing 20 DAYS in some and
80 days in others. The Romans adop-
ted a similar style but twas found that
their year amounted to about 35H days
or 10 days too short. 1t was observed
that the winter solstice (shortest day
in the YEAR, came OF different date
each succeeding year. Holidays appro-
