A WOMAN'S LIFE IN UTAH.
Some of the Mental Anguish That Il

Some of the Mental Anguish That In
Caused by Polygamy.
No Mormon woman will talk from
her heart to stranger, notably and
essentially when that person is gen
not a Mormon is a GENTLE, for she
knows by sad experience that this
would but increase her sufferings. OF
all sacrifices that have ever been exact
ed of the single, loving heart OF true
wife and mother in the name of reli-
gion, none can equal those of polygamy,
which these women were taught would
be practiced through all eternity, as it
was 'sthe celestial order of heaven" an
eternal law.
Under its baneful influence a wife
lived in the same house with her hus-
band, surrounded by their children, a
lonely, disccnsolate woman The conf

united their hearts. made one their in

she sees her husband make as careful
and elaborate toilet as their circum-

where he is going. But that fear that
ever abides in the heart of every Nor

must awaken to the fact that no man

believe, or try to believe, that polyg-

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.

The Chicago GfrIs Travels Recorded
by Photographs of Herself.
The Chicago girl that knows her
business where is there one who
doesn't ?-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to a collection of
pictures of the one person whom she
thinks more of than anybody else in
the world namely, herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
of personal gallery of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important, no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From a glimpse at this second condi-
ton, it is obvious that the young wo-
man who has a popular collection of
her own photographs must be some
thing of traveller.
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit of herself in miniature,
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink, with the name of the town where
taken, the name Of the artist and the
date Of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other Incl
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note
In this way the business of photo
graph collecting Is kept on system
attic, methodical basis, and the book of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history of travels in an in
definite number of chapters. 1t is
evident that the more pictures it con
tains the more comprehensive will be
the text, hence the ambition of every
young woman possessed with the craze
to become globe trotter.
There are few standard towns that
are absolutely necessary to the reputa.
ton of any album, such as Chicago.
New York. Niagara and the, prominent
intermediate points. Beyond these,
the more distant and romantic the
places the greater the interest attach
ed to these pictorial histories of the
world as seen through maiden's eyes.

A story of Cuilorn.

Just at the busy time one afternoon
when the crowds from the depart
ments packed the cars a tired looking
man with painful limp came in with
the crowd at the Fifteenth street
transfer station and stood clinging to
strap just in front of Senator Gull
!om. The senator looked up, and. see
ing the weary face, instantly rose and
offered his seat. The man demurred.
The senator insisted.
'-Sit down, sit down." said he cheer
Hy. you mustn't stand; sit down."
The man sank into the seat. and the
tall Illinoisan contented himself with
strap. From beneath a great poppy
laden hat the bright eyes of little
girl, near whom he stood, peered up
at him eagerly. At last he looked
down and saw her.
won't you take my seat" she said
politely.
The senator smiled down at her and
shook his head
mo, thank you, child" he said. you
mustn't ever give up your seat to a
man. 1t sets a bad example Chi
