WILL BE INCORPORATED.
But Providence Cannot Take In the
Whole County.

Whole County.
Logan, March 19.-The, county. COM
missioners yesterday considered the ap-
plication of the people of Providence
for town corporation. Some time ago
a petition to that effect was presented
10 the county court, the area asked
to be included within the town limits
being about two by three miles. This
morning q counter petition. signed by
about 10 persons, was submitted, in
which the Incorporation WAS asked for,
but the limits restricted 10 little more
than the town proper. The Providence
people desired to extend their boun-
diaries far enough to take in Theurer' s
brewery, on the road between here and
Wellsvilie, in order that they may col
lect the license he pays. The commits
Sioners, however. are against this prop
osition. The north line of the town,
as asked for in the petition, would ex-
tend to the limits of Logan City, and.
in consequence, heavy property owners
near this city objected to being an
neXed to Providence. H. J. Mathews.
county clerk. who resides in Provi-
dence, represented the people of that
place, and a pretty lively discussion
was INDUCED in. Finally the board
poration, but greatly restricted the
limits.

some time after. and nothing has been

ADVENTURE WITH BEARS.
Miner On Gold Mountain Chased By
Two Ferocious Beasts.

Richfeld, March 20.-William Morri-
son, who works at the Silver King
mine, had a thrilling adventure with
two bears last week. While going
down the mountain. and when about
half way between the Silver King and
the Morrison ranch. in the trail directly
in front of him he came face to face
with two monster bruins. Morrison, in
his whole life, has seen bears and
bears, but he declares that of them all
this pair was the most formidable.
They were enormous in size, starved to
the point Of desperation and savage
beyond fear. The grizzled terrors
looked at him and he looked at them;
then they bumped up, grunted and
started for him. Morrison started on
the back trail for the Silver King, with
the bears after him, and did not stop
running until he reached the cabin.
Two men started out with rifles, but
found that the bears had been scared
UP the canyon by woodchoppers.

One lady promised 10 send me a skirt
and asked me if I would wear 1t as
she wore hers. l told her I would put
il on over my trousers and then hold it
up as she did so as not 10 interfere
with my walking. She was angry and
left me. l suppose she gave me up as
hopeless case"
,snO Is M tailor? Well. that de-
pends- 1 don't patrOnize anybody in
particular. and l suppose I'm like most
other people. When l have money l go
to the best tailor l can ind and have
my measure taken, Just as you do.
When 1 am a little hard I'D. as YOU
would say. go to a big clothing store
and get a suit ready made. I can usu-
ally ind just about what 1 want in the
stock on hand. The only trouble is
with the sleeves. They always have
to be cut off. because my shoulders are
narrower than most mems. In other
ways they are all right. So ! don't
see why they should be called mems
clothes when they answer just as well
for women And that reminds me. Why
should young fellows who have been
born since L grew To womanhOOd talk
about my copying after them? 1t
strikes me that they are the ones who
are copying after me.
INDIFFERENT TO STYLE.
Il don't pretend to be a dude, and I
don't care very much about following
the latest styles. 1 don't care whether
my trousers are cut on the American or
the Persian or the Russian pattern. All
l ask IS that they look well and fit
comfortably.
Il really don't know" she added, in
answer to a question, how many pairs
of pantaloons l wear out in the course
of a year. Not a great many, though.
1t depends on the quality of the goods,
and that depends, in turn, on the pocket
book, so, you see, it is a variable guam
tity. In the practice of medicine, of
course. one doesn't have to wear out
ones clothes very rapidly. and besides,
| think l am careful of my clothing.
Somebody asked me once whether I
made ny own clothes. OF course
don't. L have too many other things
to do
For foot gear the doctor wears a pair
of little old-fashiOned calf-skin boots,
and they are very neatly in evidence as
she crosses her legs while talking. Her
shirt bosom and high standing collar
are Immediately white, and in her
black satin tie are six gold-headed pins

ture Of her dress. If she were a man
she would be called so years of age.
But, being a woman, nobody would ever
be so ungallant as to guess.

sary so as to keep the sediment from
getting into the pipe. The sediment
will now be deposited in the tower.

GOOD ADVICE FOR FARMERS
PROF. FOSTERS LECTURES AT
MT. PLEASANT.
Enterprise and Brains Are Necessary
to Success On the Farm-Agricul-
ture Is Forging Ahead.

Mt. Pleasant, March 20.-The farm
ers' organization OF this city held two
successful and profitable meetings yes
terday. Professor Luther Foster of
the state agricultural experiment sta
ton of Logan was present and de-
livered two interesting lectures on
agricultural and horticultural topics
and answered many questions pertain
ing to farm matter. Professor Foster
emphasized the benefits to be derived
by agriculturists from the reading of
books sand other literature prepared by
practical writer's on subjects along this
line and advised the officers of the as
ISOLATION to procure an appropriate
library as soon as possible. He said
farming was followed in an altogether
different manner during the last few
years from what it formerly was. En-
terprise, modern methods and brains
are necessary at the present day to
the successful farmer. Until recently
agriculture had not kept pace with
questions of science, but is forging
ahead now. The new farmer thinks
and investigates for himself and
reasons out causes of failure. The ad
Vantages of a small farm properly
cultivated, over a large one poorly
cultivated were pointed out. The even
ing session was devoted to a discussion
of the fertility of SOil-Of what ele-
ments it was composed, and how to
keep it in proper condition. The
products grown on the land should be
those that require the least fertility in
their formation. AS, for instance, a
ton of lucern took from the soil SO
worth of fertility, according to value
of prepared fertilizers, and a ton of
butter took but So cents, hence the
butter was produced at comparatively
no expense to the soil. Rotation of
crops was urged to keep the soil in
the best condition. Peas or any hoed
crop was as beneficial for soil as sum
mer following. During the course of
his remarks Mr.. Foster advised the
experimenting with sugar beets, as
he was positive a beet sugar factory
would be located in this valley at no
distant day

How TO Rise Early.

Thompson and Simms live opposite
each other in a narrow street. They
were going on fsbing excursion the
other day, and az they wanted to be
sure TO wake in time to catch the ear
ly train, they ran bit Of clothes-line
across the street in at the second-story
windows, and each tied an end TO his
leg, so that if one awoke the other
would Immediately feel pull, says
Tit-Bits.
The scheme was an excellent one,
and we know Of no reason why, under
ordinary circumstances, it should not
have worked well.
Bot abont FIVE o'clock that morning
some laborers assembled in front Of
Simms' for the purpose Of erecting a
telegraph pole. When the hole was
dug they began to put the pole upon
the end. But, unfortunately, it clipped
down with tremendous force upon the
clothes-line.
Mrs. simms was very much surprised
10 see Henry 60 over the foot Of the
bed and shoot feet foremost out Of the
window bat even she was not more
amazed than Mrs. Thompson was when
Archibald performed the same feat.
They met in the middle Of the street,
clustering as it were, round the pole,
but each with broken leg. They
wake themselves now with alarm
clocks. 1t is safer-and lees exciting.

True Tales.

Mark Twain's friends say of him
that he is the only perennially hum
orous man in existence-the only pro-
fessional funny man who is funny at
all times, in print and out.
When Mr.. Clemens suffered his ser
ious reverse of fortune, many Of his
friends and admirers who belong to
that pretty numerous class of folk who
look upon loss of money as the dir
est of all calamities betokening gen.
eral decadence of powers, became
alarmed and began to predict a grad
ual dissolution. All sorts of reports
were circulated about the misfortunes
that followed fast and followed faster.
First came the news that Mark Twain
was i'll; later came the report of his
death. With a great outpouring of
sympathy Charles Dudley Warner
sent cablegram to Mrs. Clemens.
The quick reply which came to him
read:
Reports of my death greatly e1-
aggerated. Samuel L. Clemens. "
Living on Twenty-seventh street,
in New York, are some good friends
of Mr.. Clemens whom he is in the
habit of visiting somewhat frequently
when he is the city. 1t transpired on
one occasion that during the interval
between his visits his friends had had
the front of their house done over,
with a new door, new wrought-iron
knocker and so on. When Mr.. Glenn
ems called he evidently failed to mark
the new combination, for the next
morning they found his card bearing
this significant legend:

IN NARROW WAYS.

Blow. thou strong western wind,
Blow far and feet
Thy forest GOODNESS here
Through the dark city street.
Blow o'er the crowded roofs
From wall to wall,
Through.fevered alleys swift
In boundless blessings fall.
Where weary mothers wait
Blow thy fresh breath,
Where men have lain them down
Woeful in love with death.
Bring country pleasantness
Across their dreams,
Shade of great tossing boughs
And thought of flowing streams.
Bring watts of fragrance. too,
From far blown flowers
Pour balm, pour rest, pour life
Through these despairing hours.
And let some little child
Wake as you sing
And feel your silken touch
