He MURDERED SLEEP.

eta Toit Se'' is the rather romantic
name Of a noble red man of the forest
who has just been sentenced to ten
years in the Wyoming state prison for
killing one of his squaws
But Ia mad acted under great provo
cation, it transpired. The younger
squaw, whose name was Sleep" was
carrying his gun and dropped it. It
was more than Ia could bear. That
was why the woman had it. When the
gun fell it awoke Ia. He was angry.
He seized the gun. Like Macbeth. he
murdered Sleep"
The innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of
care,
The death Of each days lie, sore labor's
bath.
Ia has a son whose name is Abra-
ham Lincoln Daylight, which indicates
that the Indian father has been a stu
dent Of history, as well as of Shakes
peare. Young Daylight witnessed the
awful deed of TIA Toit Sc, and he told
the court that 1t was a crime per Sc.

THEY WILL MEET THE ISSUE.


The financial issue will be met
squarely from this time on. Two years
ago the national organizations decided
to attempt no more straddle platforms.
Results this year have taught local or

gained by declaring on both sides of
the question.
The Provo Enquirer, since the cleo
ton, comes out boldly in opposition to
1.-The Democratic plank on free coin

Republican platform Of this state.
The Enquirer insists that the party
made a mistake in double-dealing with
the question, and it holds that the YER
dict of the people was also against it.
Speaking of Utah as a political Ii
vision, the Provo paper says that her
representatives must be either I:crub-

anonymous donor. The gift was borne up

all of whom gathered to do the death
dealing missile honor. Rumor said the
shell was from the wreck of the Maine,
thus accounting for the distinction ac-
corded to it.
Miss Gould processes not to know who
is responsible for the gift, which is rusty
and war-worn. 1t must have long been
intended for her. since her name is
scratched on the copper beneath the rust
and verdigris. 1t is the largest of the war
relics that have come to this popular and
patriotic young lady. Apparently, about
every vessel i'll the navy has sent her
some small gift and the land forces have
also remembered her for her interest in
the welfare of the nation and of the SOL
diers. for there are in her collection sun
dry trophies from battlefelds.
The shell now rests on it's side on two
slabs of marble close to the driveway and
near the main entrance to the house. 1t
occupies so conspicuous a place of honor
that it is not necessary for Miss Gould to
say that she prizes it highly.

Ogden men who come to the state
metropolis to spend a few days in

all sights are not to be seen for the

SOME GOOD, SHORT STORIES
Danish Legend Of Adams Fall.

(San Francisco Chronicle)
The Danish legend of the fall of our
first parents and their expulsion from
the Garden of Eden presents features
that are UNIQUE.
According to Henrik Pontaffedan, the
story of the Old Adam is as follows:
1t was q warm midsummer day in
Paradise; among majestic ferns and
over covered stones a babbhng
brook hurries on. In the shadow Of a
gigantic banana tree sits Adam, crack
ing nuts.
He dreams that the Lord comes to
him and cuts into his side. With a cry
of pain he awakens and sits UP, while
he endeavors to wipe the slumber from
his eyes. The Lord really stands before
him.
There is some one else too for tim
idly clinging to the Lord there stands
another form, which Adam has never
seen BEFORE. It is a woman, whose
white skin, soft, rosy cheeks and long
dark hair cause him to stare with wide
| open eyes and quickened breath. He
wants to spring up. But the Lord gen
tly restraints him.
Adam he says, 81 gave thee a b au-
! tiful garden, wherein to dwell; fruits
to eat in plenty, and all the beasts Of
| field and forest for joy and company
disobeyed. See, therefore, 1 took from
thy side, whilst thou slept a rib and
| created the woman who now stands be-
fore thee. Adam, see! This is Eve!
Share thy life with her, as it is desir-
able and agreeable to thy father"
So saving, he leaves them.
When the shadows grow longer
among the palms the Lord makes his
! appearance
When he has reached the end of the
lofty palm forest. where the land gen
thy slopes toward the swan lake and
the lily groves, he puts his hands to his
mouth and. with laundering voice,
| calls: Adam, where art thou?"
Adam throws himself at the Lords
feet and stammers:
ooh, Lord! Take all my ribs and
make them wives for me-"
The. Creators face grows dark. He
orders Adam from his presence and
| turns away.
Take your sword" the Lord COM
mands the winged cherub.

mate? Drive them away from my gar

have not had any perceptible effect so
far, although everyone is more than
anxious for the usual sequence.
Prosperity follows war. Prosperity
follows a panic The American people
have just emerged from both. Capital,
released from the panic strain, should
be started coursing through the veins
of commerce again. Confidence, re-
stored by an easy victory and one
sided peace, should reach the people,
as it fills with joy the bankers.
The crops have been frst-class. The
demand from abroad for our farm
products is undated. and the foreign
market for our manufactured articles
is strong. This demand is not due to
any law or system of our own, but to
failures elsewhere. There have been
two such years in succession; two years
of bounteous harvests here and famines
in other lands. This has meant more
than comfort in many sections. It has
given profit to the farmers, business
for the railroads, trade for the mer
chants. Under a broader financial sys
tenn it would have meant more to the
people than it has. 1t would have
meant accumulation, wealth, indie
pendence.

One of the notable musical successes
of last season was the series of sub
scription concerts given by the Or
pheus club of this city. Without any
thought of financial profit, the organ
ization gave the community pro-
grammes of exceptional artistic merit
and of far more money value than
could have been asked. The result was
satisfactory from every point of view,
and demonstrated anew the high
standard of musical culture in this
city.
An outline of the clubs programme
for the current season is given else
where in this issue. The names Of the
soloists and the reports from the clubs
rehearsals, justify the highest expecta-
lions of a treat for all lovers of good
music. It is to be hoped that appre-
citation of the fact will be shown in the
practical support given the venture.

ton were asked today the ordinary man
would reply that it depended much upon
the crown. for of late years many of the
lesser diadems of Europe have actually
gcie a-begging. Considered merely from
the standpoint of intrinsic value there are
many and various kinds of crowns ex-
tant In the world at the present time. For
instance. the crown Of Roumania is COM
posed of gun metal, MADE. in fact out of a
bit of old cannon captured at Pievna, that
of Portugal has gems in it which have
caused it to be valued at no less than
$sOO0.OO.
The iron crown of Lonbardy, which,
by the by. is the oldest diadem in Europe
is only six inches in diameter. The ques-
ton usually asked by those who behold 1t
for the first time is, where is the !ron2
for to all appearances the crown consists
of a broad circle of gold ornamented by an
enameling of flowers This however is
but the outward case; within the coronet
rests the iron itself The tradition con-
nected with this circle of iron has 1t that

it was fashioned out of the nails by which
Christ was fastened to the cross. The
crown now rests in the cathedral of Monza,
Italy, and is under the care Of the monks
of the establishment. These holy men
call attention to the fact that while no
attempt has ever been made to clean the
baser metal, still there is no sign of rust
upon it, a fact which to their minds, con-
clusively proves its sacred origin.
For EngIand's Queen.
England possesses but two crowns which
are ever used. One of these Is the British
state crown; the other the crown of Eng
land The former is reserved for import
ant occasions, while the latter is used at
times demanding less nagrificence. The
state crown, the one used by Queen Vic
terra when ascending the throne, was
weighs bet thirty-nine ounces. 1t is valued
at 81 100000. The jewels with which 1t is
studded were supplied mostly from older
diadenns Of the realm. and include nearly2. 900
stones. The cap Is of crimson velvet, lined
with white silk and has an ermine border.
To some of the gems blazing in this insignia
or royal power grewsome and romantic
legends are attached. For instance, the
famous ruby given by Pedro the Cruel to
the Black Prince is said to have come into
the formers hands by foul means The
story runs that Pedro invited the Red King
of Grenada to his palace and murdered his
guest for the sake of the wondrous gem.
Perhaps the sinister influence which might
attach itself to this jewel is counteracted
by its companion, the immense sapphire
which is famed to have come from the ring
OF Edward the Confessor. So great were
the virtues it was supposed to have gained
through its contact with this holy man that
1t was generally believed that the stone en-
lowed its poSseSsOr with power over var
ieus diseases In connection with the dia-
der1s of England might be mentioned the
ancient crown of Scotland. which still may
be seen in Edinburgh Castle. 1t was made
IN the fourteenth century, and was used at
the coronation of Mary Queen of Scots
Car and Emperor.

pearls of the utmost perfection and a. sap

The crown possessed by the German en-
peror is of peculiar shape. The cap rests
upon eight shields. four ornamented with
diamond crosses and the others with the
figure of the imperial eagle, while above
this, four hoops sparkling with diamonds
support a globe surmounted by cross.

How Bee Wax Il Made.

One of the most taxing of the bee indus
tries is the making of wax. Bees gorge
themselves with honey, then hang them
selves up in festoons or curtains to the
hive, and remain quiescent for hours; after
time wax scales appear. forced out from
the wax pockets The bees remove these
scales with their natural forceps. carry
the wax to the mouth, and chew 1T for a
time, thus changing IL chemically. Thus
1t may be seen that wax-making Is a great
expense to the colony, for IL costs not only
the time of the workers, but II Is esti-
mated that twenty-one pounds Of honey
are required to make ore pound Of wax.

by superb pearl. The hoop of the cap
Is surmounted by an enormous sapphire.
The lining Is of ruby cOlored velvet. The
emperor is also the possessor of the sacred
crown of Hungary. This is, in fact two
crowns. which have been welded together
The first Is a golden diadem ornamented
with pearls and precious stones, the other
Byzantine circle. At the back of the
Byzantine coronet is an enormous sap
Lhire surrounded by four oblong green
stones OF some unknown kind. Lapidaries
disagree as to what these remarkable gems
may be. This crown has been the subject
OF many extraordinary adventures In
1S4S it fell into the hands of Kossuth and
mysteriously disappeared Rumor had it
that kossuth had carried it off broken it
up, and sold the jewels in Turkey. Others
declared that it had been taken to London.
A government commission was appointed
to inquire into the mystery, but discovered
nothing until 1883 when a countryman Of
fered to disclose the secret of its hiding
place, and led the searchers to tree near
Orsova, In the roots of which Kossuth had
caused 1t to be buried.

Literary Dogs.
From the Topeka State Journal.

From the Topeka State Journal
Some time ago the Kansas. City (Kan.)
council passed an ordinance giving the
public library so per cent of all money de-
rived from dog licenses. This will amount
to about e, 500 per year. The membership
fee to the public library ia 81 annually.
The promoters of the free membership
scheme claim that by virtue OF the ordi-
nance giving the library half OF the dog
license money, the poor people of the city
practically support the library. They argue
It Il not the rich people who keep dogs, but
the poor classes. The license on a female
dog Is $3.50, while it costs $l2s per year 10
harboF a male dog. It Il claimed that 90
per cent Of the money derived from dog
Licences comes from the laboring people,
and. inasmuch as their money supports the
institution, they think 1t IL no more than
right that they should be allowed free ac-
cess to the library.
The ordinance viii provide that when a
person takes out q dog license the city
clerk shall issue with It one membership
to the library.
