BOYS AND GIRLS.


I cision is that of an Irish lad who was
instrumental in the conversion of Mr.. S.
! 7. Hall, the popular author, to teetotal-
ism. Whilst on an excursion in the
country at Wicklow Mr.. Hall visited
the far-famed Glendalough, or seven
| churches. On his entrance to the glen
he was met by a lad 16 or II years
OF age, who Offered to act as his guide
The offer was accepted, and he proved
to be an exceedingly intelligent com
panion. While rambling about Mr..
Hall produced a flask of whisky and
offered his companion a DRAM but
the boy refused it and said he was a
teetotaler. Mr.. Hall appeared incredu-
lous, and, in2ordei' to test his SINGER
ity, he offered imlmoney to tempt him
to violate his pledge. Five shillings
were offered, but without effect The
orlbe Was increased by degrees to a.
sovereign, the boys frame the while

Indignation. At length he stood for

with permission of Salt Lake Herald }
The residence of Thomas Kearns,
cuts of which are given herewith,
marks a new era in home building in
Salt Lake City. Nothing on such a
scale has heretofore been undertaken
in this intermountain region, and if it
proves to be the forerunner of many
such homes, built by men who have
made their wealth out of Utah's hills,
no one will regret the spirit that
prompts it.
This residence will be of marble, the
first one of the kind to be built in Salt
Lake. The marble is of a soft white
color. and fine quality of stone. 1t
comes from southern Utah. The en-
tire superstructure from the water ta-
bic up will be of this stone. The pill
lars, easements and copings will be
highly polished, the main walls smooth,
but not polished. The exterior will also
be richly ornamented with carved work.
The basement walls, as stated before.
will be of Wasatch granite. The roof
will be of moss green terra Gotta tiles,
shipped in from the east, and every
thing about the building from turret
to foundation stone will be of the most
substantial character
The style of architecture is Italian
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1899-11-04

Renaissance. There will be three
towers f1anking the angles and fine
dome over the grand stairs. which
ascend near the center of the struc-
ture. The building will be 81 feet by 81
and three stories high over the base
ment. 1t will be erected on the corner
of Brigham and G. street. looking west
down Brigham and south down Sixth
East street. The lot has fourteen rods
frontage on Brigham and is ten rods
deep, While it is understood that Mr..
Kearns is negotiating for more ground
adjoining him on the north.
The house will be set back forty feet
from Brigham street and will be ap-
preached by highly ornamented steps
with a fountain in the center The
main entrance will front on Brigham;
the side entrance will be on C street.
The main floor will have a grand hall
15X4S feet. This will also serve as a
picture and art gallery. On this floor
will be also the grand parlor the Turk
ish parlor, library, dining room, morn
ing room, kitchen, pantry, burglar
proof vault. etc. The main rooms will
be twenty feet square and the ceiling
will be twelve feet six inches. The
book cases and sideboards will be
built into the house. The interior finish
will be throughout English oak of
very fine quality.

ECCENTRIC PAT DRIsCoLL.
Income $4,000 a Month and Only
Spends $50.
Virginia Enterprise.

Virginia EnterprlSe.)
Patrick Driscoll. who owns four of
the best paying silver and gold mines
/ in the Chloride valley of Mohave coun-
ty, Ariz., is commonly supposed to be
worth from SSOOOOO to 100000. His in
come from his mines is about $4,000 a
month, and he has a block of stock in
the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix rail-
road that pays him some $4,000 year
in dividends. He is a bachelor with
out kith or kin in the world that he
knows of, and he spends on himself
less than $50 a month. altogether.
Everybody in and about Kingman
knows Pat Driscoll and his eccentrici-
ties, and many a poor miner has been
helped by generous gifts from the
DriScoll bank account. Several times
the bodies of Driscoll's poor friends in
the mines have been coffined and sent
to relatives in the eastern states. and
even to Ireland, at his expense. He
came from County Antrim in 1853. and
was a prospector and laborer in the
Utah & Nevada gold and silver
mines for twenty years. He expert
enced all the prospector's poverty and
hardships until he was past middle age,
when he drifted down to the Calico
mines in San Bernardino county, Cal,
in 1881. There he found a mine which
he sold for $4,000, and he had his first
capital to deal with in mining on his
own hook. From Calico he came over
into Arizona, and in two years he
located a base ore mine-a chloride
proposition. When silver was valuable |
his income used to be over $1,000 a /
month. The Diana and Antrim mines |
were his.
He invested his profits in the Harqua
Hala mines, and doubled his wealth in !
a few years. From that time he has |
been prospering to degree undreamed /
of by him.
But he has never changed his manner |
of living. He is over so and in fine
health. Every day he may be seen
walking about the little town of King
man or over at Ash Fork, where he
has valuable real estate. No one would
believe from his appearance that he
had property. He lives alone in a
cabin, cooks his own fapjacks. pork,
bacon and oatmeal over a 81 stove and
sleeps in bunk of red blankets. Once
in a year Or two he may go to Phoenix
Or to Los Angeles for a few days, but
he always returns to his cabin, saying
that he Will never take so long a
journey again. His sole amusement is
playing pedro for 5-cent cigars, and if
he can win a. pocketful in the course of
an afternoon he is happy for a few
lays. He has never been known to
stand the loss of more than a half
1ozen cigars in the course of his pedro
gambling in one day, for he will quit
when the tide of luck is running so
hard against him.

The second floor will have a grand
upper hall to correspond with the lower
hall. 1t will contain bath rooms with
ordinary. shower and sitz baths; it will
have seven large chambers. and moth
ing Will be missing that might add to
the comfort or pleasure of the family.
The ceiling on this floor will be eleven
feet six inches
The third floor will have a gymna-
SUM forty feet square and billiard
room twenty by forty. On occasions
these two can be thrown together and
constitute a ball room forty by sixty
feet This floor will have bath rooms,
sewing rooms and servants chambers.
In the basement there will be a large
bowling alley, a cold storage room,
laundry, wine cellar, man servants
room and boiler room. The house Will
be heated throughout with the indirect
hot water system.
There will be no woodwork at all on
the exterior, and the house will be fire
proof.
The cost of this fine residence can
only be roughly estimated. Neither
Mr.. Kearns nor his architect. C. NJ.
Neuhausen, will submit any figures but
talk vaguely of 100000 Judges of such
matters assert that the cost will go far
beyond that if the building is finished
to harmonic with the general design.

my vow, made before God and man
oh, sir, you do not know what you
are doing. 1 would not break my
pledge for all you are worth in the
world"
The boys earnestness and eloquence
made a deep Impression on Mr.. Hall.
who saw that he was in the presence of
a hero. After a moments reflection
his determination was fixed; he decided
on becoming a teetotaIer, and. in order
to prove to- his guide his sincerity. he
flung his flask of whisky over his head
into the lake, in whose deep bosom it
now lies buried
The joy and excitement of the boy
was intense. He danced about in wild
eXuberance of delight. 1t was q scene
not soon to be forgotten by either of
the actors in it. Mr.. Hail often told
this with pleasure as one Of the happi-
est events of his life

WHEN MY MOTHER TUCKED
ME IN.

All. the quaint and curious carving
On the posts of that old bed
There were long beaked, queer old giffins
Wearing crowns upon their head,
And they fiercely looked down on me
With cold, sardonic grin;
l was not afraid of griffins
When my mother tucked me in.
What cared 1 for dismal shadows,
Shifting up and down the floor,
Or the bleak and grewsome wind gusts
Beating gainst the close shut door,
Or the rafting of the windows.
All the outside noise and din;
l was safe and warm and happy
When my mother tucked me in.
Sweet and soft her gentle fingers,
As they touched my sunburnt face;
Sweet TO me the waited odor
That enwrapped her dainty lace;
Then pat or two at parting
And n gOOdnig.l at kiss between;
All my troubles were forgotten
When my mother tucked me in.
Now the stricken years have borne me
Far away from love and home;
Ahi no mother leans above me
In the nights that go and come.
But it gives me peace and comfort,
When my heart is sore within,
Just 10 lie right still, and, dreaming,
Think my mother tucked me in.
Oh. the gentle. gentle breathing
To her dear hearts softer beat
And the quiet. quiet moving
OF her soft shod willing feet
And Time, one boon l ask thee,
Whatsoe'er may be my sin,
When I'm dying let me see her.
AS she used to tuck me in.

Kipling Agreed With Him.

1t is related Of Rev. George Macdon-
aid, Rudyard Kipling's maternal grand
father, that in the days wien he was
counting the lady whom he afterwards
married, the father-in-law to bean
aged Methodist with extremely strict
notions in regard to the proprieties-
was injudicious enough on one occasion
TO enter the drawing room without Civ
ing any warning of his approach. The
consequence was that he found the
young lovers occupying a single chair.
Deeply. shocked by the spectacle the
old man solemnly said
Mr. Macdonald, when 1 was court

Where tho Pins Go.

What becomes Of all the pins? is one
of the most common of household CO.
nundrums. Harper's Bazaar assures us
that al cid gentleman in London has
solved it.
By series of experiments conducted
i'll his back garden he has discovered
that pins go the way Of all flesh, and
are resolved into dust. Hairpins,
which he watched for one hundred and
tifty-four days, disappeared at the end
Of that time, having been resolved into
a ferrous oxide, brownish rust which
was blown away by the wind.
Bright pins took nearly eighteen
months to disappear; polished steel
needles nearly two years and a half;
brass pins had but little endurance;
steel pens at the end Of fifteen months
had nearly gone, while their wooden
holders were still intact.
Pencils, with which he also expert
mented, suffered little by exposure; the
lead was unharmed, and the cedar al
most as good as new; but then, nobody
has ever asked the question about pen
ellis, and he might have spared his
pains.
