H@ The wife of the coolie in Guiana
is a woman who is very much to be
envied. Every gold or silver piece
her husband receives for his services
is beaten into personal trinkets to be
worn by his better half. In this con-
dition it constitutes the cash wealth of
the family. 1t is perfectly safe, as it
is as much as any mans life is worth
to touch them so long as the woman
wears then. These same women are
also noted for their beauty. Their
features are straight and perfect, their
eyes beautiful in color, and their forms
perfect models of symmetry and grace.
Dressed in soft, filmy materials, rich in
color and eastern figures, they present
strangely Oriental and fantastic ap-
pearances.

BETrER TREATED In AMERICA.

BETTER TREATED In AMERICA
Widows in Japan seldom remarry.
They dedicate themselves to the wor-
ship of the memory of their husbands
and spend the rest of their days as
sem;-servants in the homes Of their
father-in-law. When woman erects
a tombstone to the memory of her hus.
band, she has her own name carved
upon it. The husbands name will
be gilded. The inscription that refers
to her will be distinguished by red ink.
That is a sacred pledge that she will
not marry again. When she dies and
is buried by her masters side, the red
is replaced by gold.

MORMONISM EXPOSED.

Something About the Novel Creed Pro-
mulgated by Joseph Smith.
Editor Yoriville Enquirer:
1 have just noticed that in your is-
sue of June 9Th, you give considera-
BILE space to a presentation of what
has already been sown in the high.
ways and hedges of our country by
"Traveling Mormon Elders" as their
"Articles of Faith" You also furnish
Tor have them to furnish) in the same
article, a great deal of other informa-
ton concerning the nature and object
of their work in this country as we'll
as how they are now living at home,
etc., all of which to those of your
readers who know nothing of the fraud
upon which the sect is founded and
the elements that have conspired to
keep it alive, sounds wonderfully good
and reasonable, and reasonably good
and wonderful. Some are almost
ready to say within themselves after
reading this fair tale in The EN-
oUIRER, "Poor Mormons; they have
endured many things, and hope to be
able TO endure all things. What times
they have seen How they I've
been prosecuted and abused AnG all
for what?"
Now, Mr.. Editor, I am glad that
York county has advanced in intelli-
gence since the days to which you re-
fer, and hope there is now no danger
of the whip nor tar and feathers. 1t
is wonder that any community has
ever escaped the penalty of such con.
duct, if indeed it has. Severe and
harsh persecution was the main thing
that insured the success of Mormon
ism in the days of Joseph Smith. Had
it not been for that the thing would
have died when the so called "Book of
Mormon" was proved to be repro.
duction Ct the old MS. novel written
by Solomon Spalding. Harsh perse-
cution is always wrong; it reacts upon
itself and produces sooner or later, an
effect that was neither intended nor
desired. But as the matter is brought
80 prominently before the people of our
country at this time, I. do hope they
will not be misled by one-sided pre-
sentation of the subject.
I wish to say to your readers that
during the last three years l have
made careful investigation of the
subject from its beginning until now,
and prompted by sense of duty to
those of this generation who are, or
may be exposed to the danger of this
delusion, and at the request of large
number of truth loving people, 1 have
recently published at my own expense
a small pamphlet entitled "Mormonism
Exposed" / will take pleasure in
sending a copy of this book free to
those who are not able to pay for it.
To those who are able to pay for it
the price is 10 cents a copy. / will
send one dozen to any address upon
receipt of only go cents. The book
gives brief history and exposition of
the fraud upon which the sect is found
ed, a glance at their pernicious doc
trines and principles, and some record
ed examples of how they preach at
home. Also the story of recently
returned family. Yours sincerity,

''BUDD.

The physicians prescription was q
pleasant one and promised relief from
one horn of the dilemma
My old home was in central New
Jersey, but it was not advisable to go
thither, since I meant to bury myself
from all who knew me. For several
weeks at least I would not write to
Jeanette, hoping that in the meanwhile
she would learn the truth through the
real Harold Westcott.
When the inevitable explosion came,
desired to be beyond reach.
With an endless number Of refugees to
select from, it did not take me long to
fix upon my temporary home. 1t was
advisable that it should be near the
metropolis, 80 as to receive my mail at
the earliest moment and be within quick
call in an emergency.

glewood, N. J. Neither he nor any OF
his clerks would reveal the address,
while it might be wormed from one Of
the attaches Of my apartments
My present problem was to checkmate
Mr.. Covey Cone. There could be no
question that he was shadowing me,
and, if he suspected my intention,
would follow me wherever went. He
must be lodged.
To escape awaking his suspicion, /
took no luggage with me, except few
articles in my pockets. After reaching
my destination it would be easy to pro-

That the peril was serious one could
not be doubted. How deeply Harold

mrely it was to a grave extent.
