day morning, when Miss Sarah J. Elliott

ance l ever witnessed along that line
was game of Seven-up during the civil
war. l was a member of an Ohio regi-
ment that had a part in some of the
ffercest fighting of the whole four years
struggle. Among my comrades were
three privates who were deVotedly at
tached to one another They were the
Aramis, Porthos and Athos of the regi-
ment with d'Artagnan left out. Dur
ing the days in camp they were insep-

time playing seven-up. They did not
gamble, fer it is doubtful if their friend

sworn to over drumhead, that if one
of them was killed in battle the remain
ing two would play enc game of seven

agreement was made with all the dare

was as binding as if it had been an
oath-bound pledge on a more serious
subject. Possibly they never thought
they would have to execute it. AT any

at the lifeless form for long, long

THE best of us make mistakes at

for the policeman to pass before he
opened up business. II think the fun
niest mistake 1 ever made was last
fall, while 1 was down south.
II was not doing very we'll there,
and had about made up my mind to
come north, when | heard of a country
fair and horse trot taking place in a
little town about fifty miles from where

debted for the information also told me
that at such a time even the poorest of
the crackers managed TO scrape
few dollars together to enjoy

the affair and prevent the natives from
losing their money betting on the
races.
Il simply chuckled to myself when 1
saw the material L had to deal with,
and 1 decided offhand that if they had
any money when I got through with
them l was not the man / thought I

Il was playing the soap game at the

of any cake of soap in the box for So.
But not solitary cracker bit at the
game. In vain used all my wiles At

more than any of them possessed, I
dropped the price to 81.
AT this point a sport who was fol-
lowing the races came UP and looked
me over.

KNOCKED OUT.
Champagne Failed to Get Newfound-
landers Drunk.
(New York TribuneD

CNew York Tribune)
On the southeast coast of Newfound-
land. about half way between Cape
Race and st. Johns, lies the wreck OF
the Scottish King. She was a British
trading steamer, and it is now almost
year since she was driven in a storm
upon the inhospitable rock-bound shore
In spite of this catastrophe, however
fortune favored the ship to a consider
able degree. Thanks to the precise
spot on the coast where she struck anC
the marvellous manner in which she
slipped in between two projecting reefs,
instead of grinding directly upon them,
she still lies with her hull almost in
tact. At little distance she scarcely
resembles a wreck, and, indeed, a plan
is now on foot for saving her.
The fact that she did not go to pieces
at once, as most vessels do which have
the misfortune to strike that coaStline,
was a subject for great rejoicing among
the fishermen in the neighboring viii
lagos. A most seductive rumor went
abroad that she carried large quantities
of champagne in her cargo. The New
foundlanders' steady drink is, of course,
rum, but he has heard of champagne
and its powers. Nets and hooks were
almost abandoned for awhile in the
ships vicinity, owing to the more fas-
cinating fishing to be obtained in her
hold.
Now, although the fishermen had not
heard of it, and would have been no
wiser if they had, the Scottish king
carried just about as much apollinaris
as champagne, and the cases contain
ing the mineral water were on top, and
hence the more accessible. A glimpse
of bottles was quite enough for the
Observation-Disclosures. The cases of apol-
linaris went merrily ashore. and the
sampling began without delay.
DisilIusionment and despair Where
were the virtues of this celebrated
drink? Bottle after bottle was patient
lily, graveIy disposed of, with no APP
lproach to the desired result. One of the
men summed it UP tersely to a visitor
afterward with this half pathetic, half
scornful remark:
| Sure we tried it fair: drank quarts
of it and kept on drirlkin'. but no uses
we got no forrardefE.
I The reputation Of champagne is probz
ably lower now in that part of New
foundtand than anywhere else in the
civilized world.

Provo. Oct. 15.-The sake conference.
which is being held I'M this city. was well
attended today. The sermons mainly Pc
lated 10 the doctrine and the duties of the

remarks. bearing ON the peculiar position
of the Mormon people:
''The prayers and sermons OF the Lead

my brethren and sisters, that conditions
will shortly confront us such as the peO-
Pile have not before been called upon TO

our rights as American citizens. Elders
may have to be sent to the varians states
for this purpose. / feel that God will
then give them strength to meet the peO-
pie of the nation on their own platforms.
Apostle John Henry Smith spoke on the
necessity of the people of Utah c0mplet

ry to say. that while Utah county was the
birthplace and the childhood home of
Sculptor G. E. Dallin. it was behind other
large counties in paying it's portion 0f the
sum required to complete the monument.
He dwelt ON the necessity of cGmmemOr

evening. when the rank of page was

The iisagreeable weather has had its
effect on lodge attendance, and al
though there is the same Pythian wei

Past Grand Chancellor Pike was in
the city during the week and makes
excellent report of the lodges at Eu-

The congregation of the Bible Chris

of snoring evidently coming from be-
Meath the floor. Upon search being
instituted an old man was discovered.
! Although he stated that he had only
been there for a short while. it was evil
dent that he had occupied this strange
bed chamber for Il very considerable
time, some of those present stating
that thew had noticed him at nightfall
in the neighborhood of the church for
the last three or four years.

memory of these early struggles he has
caused one of his rooms to be turned
