THE FROZEN FACE.

Governor Richards. who returned this
morning from northern Wyoming,
drove thirty miles in the blizzard Sun
day afternoon. He was unfortunate in
having his face frozen, though not Sc
riously.-Cheyenne Tribune.
1t must have been the worst biz
zard that ever blew across the sage
grown hills of that wind-swept state.
Nothing was ever known to hurt the
face of a Wyoming goldbug before. 1t
would be safe to wager that the biz
zard never emerged from that encoun-
ter without a scratch.
Our Cheyenne contemporary says
that it wasn't serious. What! Is it
possible for a politician of such note to
meet and greet his followers with "the
frozen face" and nothing serious re-
suit? Nonsense. The glad hand will
avail a man nothing if he have frozen
face. 1t will be like faith without
works. It won't work.

SCHOOLS AND PARTIzANsHIP.

A Republican contemporary does not
seem to take very kindly to the idea of
keeping partisanship out of the school
election. The only obvious reason is
that The Herald favors it.
Some people are governed by contrar-
iety more than by judgment. The chief
merit of a question, as they view it, is
that it has another side. Prejudice is
their guiding star.
A story is told of a merchant who re-
fused to battle in the same ocean with
a business rival. What is pleasure to
him must be injurious to me-" he sage
~ said. So he dressed and went away
marvelling at his great wisdom and
discretion And this is what the organ
says:
I'VE wonder if it has not been fixed
UP that none but Democrats have the
school offices. When The Herald advo-
Gates something decent, it excites sus-
picion."
In truth the Republican organ has no
real conception of -partisanship A
partisan scheme worked outside of the
lines of legitimate politics is what the
organ calls non-partisanship. That is
why it is suspicious when The Herald
advocates a non-p partisan school cleo
ton.
The adherence to national or state or
ganizations is not by any means the
only or the worst form of partisanship.
Factions founded on local differences,
on personal quarrels, on police contro-
versies, are fostered by the meanest
partisanship of all.
But the churches, and the homes, and
the schools ought to be kept out of
partisan politics. The administration of
national, state, county and municipal
affairs cannot be separated from the
distribution of public patronage or the
building up Of political machines. The
people of Salt Lake City have had ex-
perience in these matters. They have
learned that it is possible to keep par
tisanship out of the schools. They have
also discovered that it is impossible to
keep it out of municipal affairs.

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Muscle Decided It.

Among the historical records of Vir-
ginia we find the story of an incident
in the life of one of the heroes of the
revolution. 1t is worthy of preserva-
ton, as it illustrates the acquiescence
of our forefathers in the exercise of
brute force as arbiter in matters under
dispute.
Captain Crawford, famous as an In
dian fighter, led an expedition into
Virginia shortly before Braddock's de-
feat. His troop was made up of pio-
neers, independent farmers, who found
it hard to submit to military discipline.
Crawford needed transportation, and
meeting q wagner with a team OF four
horses ordered him into the service of
the king. The wagner was a man of
gigantic build. He surveyed the body of
armed men surrounding him, and an
cry as he was, saw that resistance was
useless. Yet to leave his home and
work 70 months meant ruin.
He threateningly approached Craw-
ford. I've not a fair chance" he said.
Its one against hundreds. They're
armed and I'm not. But I'll tell you
what would be fair. I'll fight you or
any man in your army. If I'm whipped
I'll go with you. If you're whipped 1

was too much in the spirit of the time
for Crawford to refuse it without being
misunderstood by his troops. He began
reluctantly to strip off his coat, when
one of his men, young fellow who
had been leaning against a tree,
stepped forward
81 will fight him. he said, facing the
giant. IF you are beaten, the whole
company is disgraced. But if he kills
me it is only wagner like himself
the less in the world"
Crawford, after a feeble show of re-
sistance, consented, and the young
trooper sprang at the huge wagner
with the fury of a panther. Although
lightly built he had muscles of steel,
and after a short struggle the giant
was beaten. The young man was Dan
iel Morgan, afterwards major gen
eral in the revolutionary army.

Thanksgiving On the Farm.
minneapolis Tribune)

The sky is cloudy, dull and gray,
And in the groves the trees are bare.
All save the red oak trees, and they
Still their bright-colOred foliage wear.
The rivers frozen out from shore
Full half it's width, and anchor ice
Still crowds along with grind and roar;
Smooth spots, the boys will skates en-
tice.
We hear on prairie roads the sound
OF wagons rolling miles away,
Shrill creaking Ger the frozen ground,
Mingled with shouts of boys at play.
Outside the barnyard in the lane
Are wagons new, with high spring seat;
Strong, like their owners, stanch and
plain,
And covered buggies trim and neat.
The colts that, turned into the yard.
Around the straw stacks run and race.
Reach their. heads DER the gate that
barred
Or to the quiet cows give chase.
The young folks skate upon the pond,
Or round q blazing fire play;
A chime of church bells far beyond
Proclaim it is Thanksgiving day.

Considering its size, the character

Considering its size, the character of
some of its principal buildings, the
great population and long dry season,
San Francisco has been peculiarly for
tunate in escaping disastrous confagra-
tions. It's a long lane that has no turn,
and the city by the Golden Gate is
smoking now from the effects of a
frightful holocaust in which two human
lives are known to have persisted, a
dozen people are missing, and doubtless
lost. and a million and half dollars
worth of property is destroyed. The
magnificent Baldwin theatre, the old
hotel that cost $S,OOO,OOO to build twenty
years ago, the stores around, they are
all gone. There is a great gap in the city

1T is THE CHEFS MOVE NOW.


The police plot thickens. The city
council has instructed the chief to re-
instate the eight policemen deposed
last May. They are good men. They
were not dropped for neglect of duty,
but they were not congenial to the
chief; neither were they related to him.
But the supreme court has decided that
this doesn't Snalze any difference; that
it isn't absolutely necessary for a man
to be a personal friend or factional ad-
herent of the chief in order to be an
efficient guardian of the peace.
The city has been paying salaries to
eight men, who, for six months past
have been wearing the uniforms of po-
hcemen around the streets Of Salt Lake
City. They may be very estimable gen
tlemen, imposing in appearance, and
otherwise, in keeping with the dignity
of the position, but they have been
drawing salaries which, under the rul-
ing of the court, belonged to eight Do-
licemen who We're unlawfully prevented
from discharging their duties.
1t is not right to ask the taxpayers
of Salt Lake City to pay two men for
doing one mans work. Yet this is
what the business methods OF this
business administration of municipal
affairs" make necessary. Eight citi-
zens in the uniform of policemen and
eight policemen in citizens clothes
have all received wages for the work
Of only eight policemen.
If Chief Pratt and Mayor Clark can
devise any new scheme for Increasing
expenses, they should hasten The
legislature win meet in a couple of
months, and may conclude to give the
capital city some relief from such bust
ness methods. Whatever is done should
be done quickly. Tempus fugit.

When They Were In the Trenches.

1.-THE misfortune of the battery recruits
who arrived too late for the battle, but
in time only to hear of it, is told in the
following lines, sent The Herald by a
former member of it's staff0
We saw no battle smoke cavort, no flash
ingS of the fray
No shuddering shrapnel shrieked near us,
our hosts We're far away;
And they were wondrous tales we heard,
we bold and plumed recruits,
We had the .ague several times and
Shivered in our boots;
They told US how Manila sank-it was
we heard it twice at 'Reveille" and
thrice before Recall,
And every narrative they closed in
blithesome tones and gay:
when we were in the trenches-in the
trenches by the bay"
We have seen the lightning's blandish-
ments on Himalayan peaks,
We have watched the stolid, staring
Sphinx and many other freaks
And there Were tales in olden books we
used to read full oft
OF gallant. CORY tournaments and banners
raised aloft-
But they listened to our stories with a
proud disdainful air
And told US of their battle and the can
mons ftful glare
And while were very patient we all
shiver when they say:
when we Were in the trenches-in the
trenches by the bay
Our hair is scared and silvered now, our
visages are pale
And we are growing weak beneath that
everlasting tale,
And we live in hope that when the final
trumpet blast shall sound
We shall be the first arrivals on that last
great camping ground
And we'll build some brand new trenches
in the realm beyond the skies
And we'll spend our nights and days in
venting monumental lies
And we'll lie with such abandon that
they'll never dare to say:
when we We're in the trenches-in the
trenches by the bay

If 1t wasn't for enthusiasm, but little
would ever be accomplished.
If a man loses his situation it's apt
to make him feel out of place.
If you can't say anything good of
your neighbor, you can at least keep
silent.
If a man gives advice freely, it's
probably because he wants to get rid
of it.
If woman proposed, one rejection
would crush her proud spirit beyond
recovery.
If every man didn't have to make his
own reputation, there might be more
good ones.
If a woman has blonde hair, it doesn't
necessarily follow that she is light
headed.
If a girl tells you she can't sing, give
her credit for being truthful, and keep
quiet.
If our neighbors would do things as
we think they should, it would be much
easier to love them
If there is one thing that pleases a
woman more than another, it is to have
the minister ask for a second piece of
her pie.

Conant of Danvers, Mass:
when We services at We meeting house
were ended, We council and other digni
taries were entertained at We house of
Mr. Epes on We hill nearby, and we had
bountiful Thanksgiving dinner with
bears meat and venison, the last of
which was fine buck shot in We woods
nearby. Ye bear was killed in LYNN
woods, near Reading After We blessing
was craved by Mr. Garrish of Wrentham
word came that We buck was shot on We
Lords day, by Pequot an Indian, who
came TO Mr.. Epes with a I've in his mouth,
like Ananias of old. Ye council there
upon refused to eat We venison, but it
was afterwards agreed that Pequot
should received forty stripes save one.

No Enlargement of monitors.

Washington, Nov. 23.-The board of
naval bureau chiefs has been obliged
to abandon the proposed enlargement
of the four monitors recently contract
ed for into double turreted monitors.
After hearing from the various bidders
who received contracts for these mont
tors. it was decided that the limit of
cost fixed by congress would not per
nit the construction Of the double tur-
reted craft, so the department will re-
vert to the original plans, with changes
providing for the frightening of the
hulls twenty-seven feet, the increase of
coal capacity to 400 tons, and the. reduc-
ton of speed half a knot an hour.
