1t has been said: Some men are born
great, others achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thurst upon them.
AS regards the first and last, we
have but little TO say. They do not
at present interest US. Those who are
born with the proverbial silver spoon
ALREADY provided, or those who are
thrust into prominence and become
great as a result Of conditions over
which they had no control, and in
which their own individuality does not
figure, are, properly speaking. more
objects of curiosity than OF interest.
Really, the world generally is in
terested only in those men and those
women who achieve greatness by vir-
tue of their own mate strength, men
tai or physical The heroes and hero
ines of history are those who did some
thing, not those who had something
done for them, and notwithstanding
the ''self-made" man may, (as some
cynic has remarked). sometimes be-
come zoo proud of his maker, vet we
cannot withhold our admiration for gen
ius, and we like to see man succeed
who deserves it. If greatness in any
degree IS achieved by dint of individ-
ual exertion, and as the outgrowth of
personal endowments, we are ready to
applaud and at once become interested
in those characters. There is, fortu-
nately, implanted within mankind a
natural and spontaneous admiration of
that principle exemplified by the young
man who bore mid snow and ice,

The Microscopical Society.

The MicroscoDical society held its
monthly meeting at the University Fri
day evening, Vice-President J. T
kingsbury in the chair. After pre-
liminary business the programme was
carried out as follows:
talk on epithelial tissue by Milton
Bennion. Epithelial tissue includes the
epidernis, the hair and nails and a
great variety of cells lining the ali
mentary canal, the respiratory tracts
closed Serious cavities, inner coat of the
vessels and ducts of all glands. These
tissues were classified on the basis of
their forms and foundations and each
kind briefly discussed. The pigment
cells of the rete mucosum were spoken
of as an interesting subject in cOnnec-
ton with the study of anthropology.
1t was shown that not only the super
fetal appearance of the hair had much
to do with the classification of races,
but that even the form of a cross-Sec-
ton of hair as seen under the micros-
cope is an important factor in the study
of ethnology. The cross-section of
hair of the Japanese race is circular;
of the German it is eliptical of the
negro, like a longitudinal section of a
hens egg, of Papuan, very elongated
and concave on one side and convex on
the other.
Professor Whiting followed with an
interesting talk on the petioies of
leaves. He said:
The petioles of common leaves con-
tain at least three well marked forms
of cells, the parenchymous or primitive
form and the tracheary and sieve cells
both modified from parenchymOus cells.
The tracheary cells and sieve cells
taken together constitute what are
known as the fibro- vascular bundles.
These bundles may be traced from the
main stem of the plant into the
branches and from the branches into
the petiOles. or the stem supporting the
leaf, and from the petioles into the
veins of the leaf. IN fact the whole
network of the leaf consists of fibro-
vascular tissues. Between the cells of
the fibrO-vascular system, and sur
rounding the bundles may be found the
unmodified parenchymous cells. In the
leaf these cells occupy the spaces be-
tween the fibres of the network sun
porting the leaf. and it is in these cells
that the chloroDhvll or leaf green
granules are found. The talk was il
Illustrated by a number of slides pre-
pared expressly for the occasion.
Adjourned for one month.

chief he must have some strong moral
incentive, and while thus enthused

Mr.. lifts forte in life is in the edu-
catonal and intellectual direction. He
is not adapted to commercial work
and. if he attempted to manage q store
on his own account, would be ruined
in one year through giving too much
credit. A tale of distress, we'll told,
would have the same purchasing power
as cash and. the business could not last
long if run on these lines.

I therefore will be known for his actiy-
ity, his dispatch and industry, but no
one better than himself knows how
much he has TO overcome.
There is ample firmness here to make
him resolute, unwavering and deter
mined in the prosecution of any enter
prise or duty, but he is not naturally
either combative or aggressive He
does not care TO provoke unnecessary
dispute, would rather make friends
than enemies. viii not go out of his

demands for war, he is not one to show

cumstances would purchase peace at
the price of honor. Combativeness in
his case is a passive rather than an
active agent. He does not go through
the world, like a noted lawyer in this
town with the idea that every one is
his enemy and therefore he must be
prepared to oppose, to resist, to deny
and TO disagree.
In his travels among the people, Mr..
Tiff will, as a rule. admitting of few
exceptions. carry in his right hand the
olive branch, but his scabbard con-
tains a sword ready for instant use if
occasion seems to call for it. If left to
himself, however, if others did not in
f1uence him, it would seldom be drawn.
He is just the one to smooth matters

ing harmony among Earring factions,

!. FORT DOUGLAS NOTES.


The past week at Fort Douglas has
been one of the most quiet and unevent-
full that has been known at the post for
a long time past. Not a single break was
made in the dull routine of garrison life
Society was at an utter standstill not
even dinner party or any other social
event. occurred to vary the monotony.
However, on Monday the enlisted men
were in gala mood as it was payday and
Uncle Sam was distributing among them
the bright, shining coins OF the realm
g g
A thing which has not been known at
the fort for several years past, trans
pires nightly now As is commonly
with several inches of snow but up in
Red Butte canyon the snow is several
feet deep. AS a result of this the wild
animals are unable to get food and so
are forced by hunger to prowl around the
post in search of something to eat.
The packs of hungry coyotes which sur
round the fort each night make the air
ring with their doleful bowls.
Some of the half starved animals have
become so bold as TO enter the post.
Ordnance Sergeant LANCE has been
bothered great deal by them. They
came around his house, fighting and
sergeant tied one of his small dogs out
side to scare the coyotes away. This
scheme did not last long as he was forced
10 bring in the dog for fear the coyotes
would eat him. They scare his cattle.
steal his chickens and bother him gem
orally.
Three years ago the coyotes made
similar depredationS and killed q great
many of the hospital chickens. This led
t. the putting out of poisoned meat. In
the day time the meat was picked up and
put on the roof of the chicken coop. Here
the sparrows reached il and eating it
died. Then the cats ate the birds and
they died. and then came an order to
cease the use of poison and when the
snow left so did the coyotes.
On Wednesday evening, Feb. %, Love
and Hope Lodge, No. 3S5S. G.. L. o. o. F..
of Fort Douglas will give a grand ball
and supper in the G. a. r. hall in the
city. Music win be furnished by the
Twenty-Fourth Infantry orchestra.
Corporal Smith. of D company, and
Miss Juanita Watson were quietly mar
ried last Monday.
The Merrymakers club expect to give
another grand ball in the post hall in the
near future.
The post library is to be enlarged by
the addition OF over a hundred new
volumes
This evening Chaplain Allensworth will
deliver a sermon on the Ten Command
ments and illustrate it in the post chapel.
The new Studebaker wagonette, which
IS to be used for the officers, has ar
rived and will be ready for use as soon as
the weather permits.

Confirmation and Fix the Date For
the Formal Transfer-General
Manager Dickinson and Other
Union Pacific Officials Arrive.

The time for closing up all the details
of the Short Line reorganization and
formally inaugurating an independent
system is close at hand, but 1t looks
now as though the formal turnover
would be delayed a few days beyond
the time originally fixed-midnight OF
Feb 2S
Attorney Zera Snow had the sale
confirmed in the court at Boise on
Friday and went to Butte yesterday
to have it confirmed there. He is eX-
.pected in Salt Lake tonight, but owing
to the absence of Judge Marshall N
California the matter cannot be passed
upon here. Mr.. Snow, it is presumed,
will at once go on to St. Louis, where
Judge Sanborn of the Eighth United
States circuit, will make the order con-
hrming the recent sale.
More than that, Judge Sanborn Will
fix the date for the formal transfer,
which is not likely to be far in the flu
ture. The confirmation of the sales
in all of the circuit courts having juris
diction and the fixing of the time will,
therefore, be settled by the end of this
week.

SENATOR j. F. ALFRED.
Manti Messenger Gives the Other
Side of Tt.


Manti Messenger: Whatever may
ba said of Hon. ]. F. Alfred as a law
maker, imputations of dishonesty and
insinceritY cannot be alleged. Even if
he had made no mistakes. there was
no warrant for the recent exhibition
of the WAYS of Hottentots and saw
agery for his benefit. Our correspond
ent from Spring City tells US the
whole dirty piece OF work was done
by boys. whose most imposing idea
is 'hoodlumism," and that probably
at the head of the whole were par
ties who vainly endeavored to control
the senator's vote. If that is SO. and
it is most likely the case, we see no
reason for surprise.
Our local Democratic and neutro-
Democratic papers publish the dis
graceful occurrence with flaming head
lines and their editorial comments on
the matter are just what might be
expected from that source. The Pyra-
mid spreads itself all over a column
IN its illusions of wisdom and SUI
blimelv informs us that an insignifi-
cant, unknown individual is taken by
political party from unseen obscurity
and put into the greatest prominence.
That is really the denSeSt piece of
mug wumpery" we ever read. Every
BODY knows John Frank Alfred. He
is one of the old residents of Sanpete
county, and has labored assiduously
for the welfare particularly of the
young for many years, and for COM
parative stranger to come in and ia
cetiously tell us the gentleman is an
unknown school teacher from the
little town of Spring City" strikes us
as being entirely too sublime for this
lakewood region. We are not Senator
Allred's champion, we simply want to
take a stand for the right. That is
what the Messenger is called upon to
do and will not shrink
