journeyed from the east that they found

reach unto heaven; and let us make us

"a. And the lord came down to see
the city and the tower which the chill
dren OF men builded.
20. And the Lord said. Behold. the
people is one. and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do:
and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to

Z. Go to. let us go down. and there

S. So the Lord scattered them
abroad from thence upon the face of all

A REM INDER OF nAUN's MILL.

A Kansas paper which has been
handed to the writer contains a press
dispatch from Brayner. Mo-. dated
April 6, which reads as follows:
Charles II. Ross, one OF the proml-
nent characters In the early history
of Caldwell county, died at his home
here, aged So years. Mr.. Ross was a
citizen of this state at the time of the
famous Mormon massacre at Haun's
mill. this county, in 1888. and dlscov-
cred and helped to cover the bodies Of
the dead Mormons, which We're thrown
into an old well by the survivors Of
the affair"
Beyond doubt one OF the most i'm
pressive experiences Mr.. Ross ever had
was his connection with the awful
tragedy at Haun's mill, connection
that In later years so distinguished
him that 1t is mentioned in the press
dispatch announcing his death as If
1t might have been the leading event In
his life. If. as seems from the language
of the dispatch to have been the case.
he was sympathi2er with the fellow
sufferers of the victims of the mas
sacre, and assisted them in the last
acts they We're permitted to perform
In behalf OF the dead, then indeed
was he a friend In trying hour, and
what he did In that hour entities him

ENGLAND IS OUR FRIEND.

The frank and cordial expression of
Britain's friendship for America, ut
tered by the London Chronicle today,
as recounted in the dispatches, cannot
fail to create a responsive and apprecia-
tive thrill in the American heart In
part the Chronicle says:
at was easy to coerce Greece, but
America stands In different category.
She ls very great power. Intensely
proud and entirely self-contained. Her
fate has been to undertake task Pc
culiarly arduous and thankess. She
is not going to he bullled by the heroes
of the Cretan blockade. and If the
movement against her Is pressed too
far, she viii be compelled In her own
interests to clear the situation.
"Our present purpose Is to Insist that
our government does Its best by using
every means In Its power to defeat any
anti American combination, II there Is
any doubt about the feelings of the
great majority OF the nation. we shall
be happy to try the experiment of
marching 100000 I.ondoners through the
metropolis with the Union Jack and
the Stars and Stripes in combination.
1t is the business Of the mother country
to stand by her children Of the West as
stifily and strongly as one country can
by another"
England's refusal to join in any pres
sure or demonstration adverse to the
United States In the present crisis Is
tangible evidence in support OF the he
lief that these utterances of the Chroni-
Gle express prevalent British sentiment,
Other events have recently occurred
which strengthen the indications that
Queen Victorla's government would
faln win and hold the enduring friend
ship Of Uncle Sam. That sentiment
of race, tongue and religion Is strong
element of this desire neither can nor
need be denied, albeit perplexlties that
cloud the British horizon may also be
an impellng motive In the efforts to
secure close relations with the giant
republic OF the New World.
A procession of Englishmen. n
hundred thousand strong. marching
through the streets of London beneath
the Union Jacket and stars and stripes
in combination, as suggested by the
Chronicle, would be one OF the modern
worlds great sights and great events
What warning II would be to all the
nations OF the earthl 1t would mean
the coalition OF the two Saxon powers
the strongest combination possible to
form from mundane elements. 1t would
mean the permanent establishment Of
the Monroe doctrine as the protecting
aegis Of the western half Of this planet;
that Russia must stay on her own side
Of the Asiatic frontier; that she must
gain England's consent before taking
Constantlnople; and that she and Ger
many must treat England right in dis
membering China. The liberation of
Cuba, and the shriviling up of Spain
would be among the minor incidents
resulting from such a stupenaour alll-
ance.

Fancy-work for Girls

Since the wearing Of fringes has come
IN again, many of the girls Fave taken to
making them themselves, as a handsome
well made fringe is a very expensive thing
10 ouy. Strands of pretty beads and
spangles may be had for very moderate
prices, and fringe making is a nice sort of
fancy work tor any girl to try. One New
ork girl is making herself beautiful
fringe Tor trimming the bodice and down
the front seams of the skirt of a black
SATIN evening gown. On a narrow silver
cord, which she bought for five cents a
yard, she is sewing strands Of small beads.
OF alternate cut steel and black let: the
fringe when completed will be about five
inches long, and or the end of each strand
she has sewed a larger bead as a finish
Some one else was heard of the other
day as making a ribbon fringe, which was
exceeding effective, and less work than
the one made of beads. 1t was of narrow
black tatfeta ribbon about half an inch
wide. A band of the ribbon was taken
for foundation, and on this were folded
over in point at the top and sewed pieces
of ribbon from four to five inches in
length. At the end Of each piece was a
large jet bead. Any colored ribbon could
be used in making this fringe, and the
ends finished off with beads, spangles. or
sequlns. A very pretty idea is to make
the fringe of the different shades of one
color. For instance, all the shades of
green from dark to light with opal beads
at the ends. Harper's Bazaar

The Passing of the Ok.

Notwithstanding the ubiquity of the bi.

per cent. in the number of mules. while
that dear, quaint and faithful servant of
man, the patient OK, has barely held his

the quickened life Of the country. While
