PAPA'S AWFUL DISCOVERY.

There was silence for a moment.
Presently she spoke, and the tone
of voice she ELECTED to use was tremu-

Reluctantly he admitted that there
were occasions when he glanced care

ON TO UTAH.
A Pretty Mormon Girl From Den
mark Allowed to Land.

Annie Peterson, twenty three years
of age, very pretty girl, arrived at
New York on the steamer Anchoria
and was allowed to proceed on her
journey to Utah. To an immigration
inspector who questioned the girl on
her arrival, she said she was a Nor
mon and was on her way to visit a
friend in Brinton, Utah. She was
detained and this morning was ex-
amined before the board OF special in
quiry. The girl resided she said, in
Denmark. Her father was dead, but
she lived with her mother, who had
been member of the Mormon church
for seven years. She was accom-
panied on her trip by Mormon elder
named Brand, who had been making
converts in Denmark for two years.
He was returning to Utah with his
family. The young woman was going
to visit man named Johnson whom
she and her mother had known for
some time. This man, she admitted
YVES married, but she claimed that she
was only going to visit him for short
time, as she expected to get a posi-
ton. She had railroad ticket and
$50. The girl confessed that she be-
lieved in polygamy. The board de-
cided that she could not be barred
from entering the country because OF
her belief.

MOUSE ON A MOUNTAIN.
Explorers Find a Rodent 10000 Feet
Above the Sea.


When the vanguard of the recent
Mazama expedition to the summit of
Mount st. Helens arrived at the top
OF the mountain they moved some of
the fragments Of rocks to get at the
box containing the record of mountain
climbers who had reached the peak.
This disturbed a mouse that had his
habitation in that desolate spot and TO
escape from the men who were taking
such unauthorized liberties with his
home he left the two or three square
yards of rocks and scampered out
over the snow that stretched an I'M
broken surface away on all sides
There he was easily caught and Charles
IL. Sholes brought the timid creature
back TO Portland with him. The
mouse took kindly to his new environ
ment and Is alive and fiourishing now.
not having suffered any appreciate
discomfort by the great change in the
altitude of his abiding place. The top
OF the mountain is nearly 10000 feet
above the sea.
The rodent is described as rather
large for a wood mouse, having very
large ears and very long tail, being
the usual mouse color above and white
underneath. He is active and silent.
but watehful. He is believed to be
of the same kind as the mouse foun6
few years ago on the top of Mount
Hood. His description has been sent
to Professor Merriam, ,Sho was to have
been the biologist of the expedition,
but failed to make connections in time.
If he shall find the little beast to be
new mountain climber a special ex-
animation will be made into his case
and the mouse may become famous
and have his portrait in the learned
books of science.
7. II. Gardner, o. c. Yokum and
Jonathan Humphrey, who made the
ascent of Mount Hood Monday, re-
ported that they saw a pine squirrel
on the top of the mountain, much to
their establishment. The squirrel is
said to have been on the mountain
about two weeks and seemed to be
well fed and lively, though what ne
finds to live on there is a mystery
the climate and scenery will suffice
for a large degree of satisfaction at
that solemn height, but stomachs, even
of mice and squirrels, are supposed to
require something more than charm
ing aspect.

Since the death of Mrs. Depew some
thing over five years ago Miss Anne

oPTIMIsT AND PEssIMIsT.

The optimist is jolly,
And he's always feeling well:
From famous fund of folly
He draws funny jokes to tell.
The pessimist is gloomy,
And he's grumbling all the while!
He wears an air that's tomby,
And he's never known to smile.
The optimist is happy,
Never seems to have a care;
His remarks are always snappy,
And he's floating in the air.
The pessimist is doleful,
And he views the world with doubt;
He has troubles by the bowlful,
And he always hands them out.
The optimist is CHEEKY,
Looks the future in the face;
Never seems to have fear he
NAV be beaten in the race.
The pessimist is groaning,
Never sees the bright blue skies;
Just deyotes his time to moaning
And to formulating signs.
LEnvoi.
But the optimist will go
To the theater and blow
His last red cent for laughter
When the
Rent is
Due!
While the pessimist he stays
Home from the theater and pays
The bill the man comes after
When the
Rent is

FROM times immemOrial the idea has
been cultivated that old men for counsel
and young men, for war is the proper ar
rangement for human activity. What
ever may have been the past experience,
the recent war with Spain leaves the
venerable maxim in topsy-turvy con-
dition. Most of the leaders are nearly
the age of retirement. Dewey is sixty
one and entered the naval academy
forty-four years ago. General Joseph
Wheeler, on September 10, reached
he age of sixty-two. At Santiago he
was sick, but refused to go to the rear.
Shafter also was indisposed, but man.
aged to pull through. Lawton and
Merritt are veterans General Miles,
commanding the army, is past fifty-nine.
Sampson is fifty-eight and Schley nearly
fifty-nine. Fitzhugh Lee, the senior of
this list, vast sixty-three last month.
Old men, at least men near the sixty
mark, are the safe warriors il any lesson
touching this point is to be extracted
from the conflict of 1S98.-Culbertson
Era.

HENRY WArTERsoN in recent Louis
vile Courier-Journal editorial headed:
Everybody Free-Trader Now" makes
a significant admission of the benefcent
results of the protective tariff system.
He asserts that tho American manufac-
turer "having perfected his plants and
cheapened his processes" is ready and
willing for free trade, in order to have
better access to the markets of the world.
Following this he says: "The star-eyed
goddess, little mateure, q trifle embon-
point, though still beautiful, is bound to
admit that from q collar button to q
locomotive there is nothing now pro-
duced today in America which is not
produced cheaper and better than its
counterpart in Europe. So
much goes to the credit of the protec-
tive system"
