AN ANSW ER.

In an article recently published in
the Journal-Mlner, headed "Mormon
Priesthood" 4 rumber of misleading
statements were made as to the in
fuence of The Mormon Priesthood on
the social business, and political life
OF it's members. It is tue that 1900
or perhaps more of the brightest, of
their young men are actively engaged
in the missionary field and that they
arc expected to leave their families
and business and do this work un-
sel6shly, and without purse or script,
but no effort is made to keep them
under yoke or submissive condition.
before going or after their return. No
ipterfer epce is made by the authorities
of this church. in the conduct of the
business political, or social life, ex-
cept to guard their best interests in
every way possible. No bar to the
freedom Of speech or action being
tolerated. The lives of the women of
the l.. D. S. church are made the
equals OF man ip every way possible
and their influence for the eleva lion
Of its membership is universally felt,
1t is patent fact that the moral
standing of the membership of this
church is far above par. Searching
investigation Of the moral standing Of
its mem bers is made before they are
permitted to enter and receive the
privileges Of going through their tenn
pies. Polygamy is an issue of the past
and those who practice it are exposed
as quickly by member as by an out
slider.

IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

In the Philippines the Law ghieh
relates to the property Of married
people is entirely in favor Of the wife.
Any property a bride may possess
is never by any chance settled upon
the husband, and if he is poor and
she is well off he can only become at
most adm illustrator Of her possessions.
After death, unless the wife has ex-
ecuted deed in her husbands favor,
under lawyers eye, the property
goes to her children and blood rela-
tions, but none to her husband.
A married woman retains her maid
en- name and adds to it that of her
husband with the prefix "de," and
the children bear the names of both
parents.
The husband symbolically endows
the bride with all his worldly posses
sions after marriage. In fact, it is
clearly d case in the Philippines of
"what's yours is mine and what's
mine is my own" as far as the women
folk are CONCERNED, Journal Miner.

straight fronts are avoided, and the

material cut away in the space of

skirt edge. The bodice portion is

THE DYING WAIF.
BY Blance Langdon Ammen.


It was while was resident physician
at the Emergency hospital that the
following case came under my notice.
There had been brought into the char

age. He was badly mangled, and l
knew from the moment saw him that
he could not recover.
Jimmie" l said one day, "how did
you happen to get all broken up this
way?"
well, yer see, I'm a newsboy on the
p. & r. road, and / was passin'
through the train lappin' all the lat
est novels. OYER know how they does
in trains). And as l was agoin' from
one car to the next with my arms piled
high, the train give lurch and my
books took tumble; next l knowed l
was here" After a pause he muir
mured 81 spose l must have fell over

You had better have lost them, jim
ME-" l said, stroking his thin little
hands
ooh, but yer don't know what time
there'd a been with the boss when l
checked up" His eyes flashed, and his
hand trembled with emotion. "Them's
awful times, sir, when yer comes in
short" Feeling that he had talked
enough, 1 went on down the ward ex-
aiming others. AS each day passed,
he grew steadily worse. In his de-
lirium, he talked necessarily Of check
ing up" Sometimes he would cry
piteously, "Am 1 short, tell me, tell
me, am I short?" Then there would be
incoherent words and means ending,
oftentimes, in heart-rending sobs.
concluded that he must be worrying
ibout these books, therefore decided,
The next time his mind was clear, to
let him at rest about them.
So l said to him, Jimmie, you
needn't worry any more about those
books. I've paid the debt, you won't
.ome in short"
He looked at me blankly for a mo-
nent; then he sighed. 81 amt worry
m about no books"
WELL" I said, sitting down beside
him, what is it? Tell me-"
He lay perfectly quiet for time, and
wondered, as 1 stroked the long locks
back from the oldish face, what bur-
len there could be that could so torture
The soul of this dying child. Suddenly
he turned his large hollow eyes upon
ne, and looked piercing into my face
I'm agoin' to die-I know that
traight."

Tou, Jimmie"
ooh, I'm not a-kickin' about you, nor
The nurse, neither; you've been real
good to me. / visit l could tell yer,
though, all what worries me; but
