Sherman and the Reporter.

Murat Halstead, the great journalist
of war times, has been telling again the
story of how he went to General Will
lam T. Sherman's headquarters once
for the --latest news from the front.
Halstead was armed with many fine
Introductory letters, but decided to rely
mainly on one given him by Thomas
Ewing, Sherman's brother-in-law. He
found the general at little railroad
town in Kentucky, pacing uneasily to
and fro in front of headquarters tent,
his great mind revolving some critical
plan of campaign. Halstead advanced
and presented Ewing's letter. The gen.
eral opened it somewhat impatiently,
read a few lines, folded it, and said:
"Ah, you come from Ewing; and you
desire to have all the latest news'-the
next probable move of our army-eh?
Well, there is a train leaving this town
for Cincinnati at o'clock. Here, take
this ticket, and step over there and get
your .dinner-and then get on that
train.' We'll, but, General Sherman"
began the newspaper man, hoping to
reopen the case; but Sherman waved
him off, Go over and get a good
dinner; we have plenty, and always
strive to treat our friends well-but be
sure you don't miss that o'clock
trainr' And Halstead, realizing the
sort of a man he had to deal with,
wisely obeyed.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Won the Bet.

Speaking of practical jokes said a
Canal street business man who has just
returned from a trip through North
Georgia. to writer for the Mobile,
Ala, Herald, Il saw that old omelet
trick played on fellow in Atlanta the
other night, and / was really amazed
he didn't go on the warpath then and
there. The thing occurred at reStaur-
ant where l was taking supper with
four chance acquaintance made on the
trip. One of the party was a cigar
salesman from Richmond and after
supper he amused us with some Sleight-
of-hand tricks. Finally he turned to a
North Georgia merchant, who was in
the crowd, and asked if he had ever
seen an omelet made in a hat. The
merchant was portly. rather pompous
individual, and replied, after some
thought, that he had not. Well said
the tobacco man. I'll bet the cigars
for US two that can make an omelet
in the crown of your silk hat without
damaging it in the slightest degree /
knew what was coming and began to
giggle Historically, but the Georgian
remarked solemnly that he knew he
would lose, but was willing to pay 20
cents TO see the trick. With that he
handed over his hat, which was brand
new, and the tobacco salesman proceed
ed to send for some eggs and broke
several into the crown. He stirred
them up with knife and then held the
hat over the gas. In about three sec
onds it was a CHASTITY. hideous ruin,
dripping raw eggs through big hole
burnt in the top. BY jovey he exciaim-
ed, you have beat me out of the cigars.
I've forgotten how to do that trickr
AS the Georgian examined his wrecked
tile, his face was study for painter.
A few hours later 1 encountered him
at. the hotel, and he took me aside. I
won that fellows cigars all right he
said but I Still think it was a kind Of
a foolish bet.'''

BEFORE AND AFTER HANNA.

Before its recent transfer to Mark
Hanna the Republican organ of this
state had very decided opinions on the
Philippine situation and was not afraid
TO express them. Those opinions are
worth reproducing in fun if only to
show how potent Mr.. Hannas spell is
when it gets TO work, and how COM
pietely a newspaper can reverse itself
when it is offered sufficient inducement.
IT viii be noted that the Salt Lake
Tribune then agreed with w. ].
Hryan's present view, for it said edi-
tcrially:
and German both favor holding the
Philippines permanently to swell our
trade in the southeastern Pacific. Both
senator's voted. We believe for the
declaration TO the world that this war

One Wife Surely Enough.

IOSt.J
Margherita Arlina Hamm, the we'll
known traveller and author, called when
in China upon the wife, or rather the
wives of a great mandarin. Her visit
partook of the nature of festival, sc
novel was the experience to the Chinese
women, whose lives are passed almost
entirely within the walls of their va
men. They examined her clothing. and
We're partly astonished at it. They were
shocked by her shoes, and especially by
the fact that her feet were not confined
by bindings.
Finally one of them said, through the
interpreter, You can walk and run just
as well as MANI
why, certainly
You can, ride a pony as well as
man?"
"Of course
Then you must be as strong as most
men,
Yes, / think l am
You wouldn't let man beat you, not
even your husband, would you?'
Not at all"
The Chinese woman paused. laughed
and then said: Now understand why
foreigners never take more than one
wife. They are afraid to-

ARE THE PEOPLE IN EARNEsT2

The New York World is not very
friendly to William Jennings Bryan. 1t
helped to defeat him in 1896, and is just
as much opposed to his financial theory
and to the Chicago platform as it ever
was. But the World pays tribute to
the genius of the great leader and does
him the justice to compare his serious
ness his integrity to the duplicity of
the trust attorneys who visited the Chi
cago antitrust conference.
Mr.. Cochran took a most ingenious
position. He was in favor of fighting
monopolies, he said, if some one could
show him that a monopoly existed.
Only monopolies and their agents deny
their existence; the people know Of
them. SO may highwaymen join in the
chase,and say. Show US the robbers"
Mr.. Foulke made no secret of. his hos
tility to any plan proposed to break
up the unlawful combinations which
are preying upon the public and
Threatening to appropriate the very
functions of The government it
self. Against these Mr.. Bryan
was pitted. He wanted no joint
debate, for that would have given
partisan color to the conference and i'm
paired its ability to accomplish good.
But he knew that any stand he took
would be assailed, and after his speech
the attorneys for unlawful combinations
of capital presented the trust side, to
the great delight of Mark Hanna, who
declared that ''Bourke Cochran had
chewed Bryan UP.
The World says: Mr.. Bryan's. sec
o'ld speech on trusts, made at the Chi
csgo conference. in reply to Mr. Cock
ran ard to Mr.. Foulke, displayed even
more fully than his set speech in the
morning his unequaled capacity for
popular leadership in the movement
against MONOPOLY
1t goes on to show wherein lies Bry-
ans advantage over his opponents and
over all trust defenders: He believes
that there -are monopolies; that they
are evils; that they can be remedied-
and he has remedies TO propose"
The people see the power Of monop-
olies; they feel the weight of their op-
preston; they read with alarm of the
sitolN c4oUS SIoA III d trusts curing the
last two years; they note that, while
there is a law for their control. no effort
is made to enforce it; they recall that |
the president went to the banner trust |
breeding state of the Union for his at |
torney general; they know these things /
and little do they care about the tech |
niealities raised and the evasions plead /
ed by the paid representatives of I'M
lawful monopoly.
Mr.. Bryan is in earnest. He says
that IF the people are in earnest they
can break up monopoly" The people
ought TO be in earnest and we believe
they are 1t is feature of the same
old fight. 1t is the spirit of avarice
clutcFing at the throat of the republic.
It controls the monetary standard; it
is about TO take control of the issuance
and circulation OF paper money: it is
trying to control the industrial enter
prises of the country.
If the people are in earnest they are
yet able to cast it off If they delay

1t seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring. nor whistles blow
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don t
sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not real stiffness, but just the trees
Low whisperings, or the hum of bees
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydd,
Or the song of birds in the hedges hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as these
To I'LL a tired heart with ease.
If weren't for sight, and sound and

I'd like a city pretty WELL
But when it comes to getting rest

She Was In Earnest.

Detroit Free Press
The fast express on the Yavapai &
Tombstone railroad was bowling merri-
ly along over the Arizona plains of sand
and cactus. Perhaps the sunbeams had
warped the track, or perhaps a petrified
tree had fallen across it, but at all
events, as it sped by the side of a
parched river, the train suddenly left
the track and rolled down the banks
of the so-called stream ike child at
play, landing in three feet of water
with a splash and causing a woeful
mix-up of passengers, cushions, bag
gage and shoe boxes full of lunch. The
occupants of one car extricated them
selves from the hodge-podge and sought
for means of exit, while stanching as
best they could the cuts received from
broken glass. But all places of egress
seemed damned tight. Then arose a
woman's voice in emphatic demand: IF
you don't let me right out of here I'll

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF
THE WOMENS CLUBS

Ogden club women deny that the
present controversy over the selection
of a candidate for president of the
federation will cause any serious trou-
bic at the time of the election. They
claim that for months past the majori-
ty of the club women have been united
in the support of one of Ogden's ablest
club members, and in fact she has been
endorsed by four of the five federated
clubs of that city. The fifth federated
club, La Coterie, having put forth
candidate, naturally supports that can
didate, but the supporters of the other
candidate do not believe that one clubs
opposition can defeat the endorsed can
didate of the remaining four clubs.

Sir Goldenrod stands by and grieyes
Where Queen September goeth by;
Her viewless feet disturb the leaves,
And with her south the thrushes fly,
Or loiter mid the rustling sheaves,
And search and fall, and wonder why,
The burgher cat-tails stiffly bow
Beside the marsh. The asters cast
Their purple coronets. and below
The brown ferns .shiver in the blast,
And all the fretted pool aglow
Repeats the cold, clear. yellow sky,
The dear, loved summer days are past,
And tranquil goes the Queen to die.
