Julep Had a Peculiar Effect.


There were some good story tellers
among the Democrats who recently
gathered in Chicago. but none of them
was surer of an audience than was
Committeeman Trout of Connecticut.
The day was warm, and Mr.. Trout and
his friends, who were trying to find
comfort in the coolest rooms of their
hotel. sent down for some arctic drinks.
Mr.. Trout took plain lemonade. The
other glasses had herbs in them.
why don't you take a mint julep.

II have always been afraid of those
things" said the Connecticut man.
"since a client of mine walked away
from them into the Housatonic river"
That's the mistake, judge. Don't
walk away from them. Walk towards
them. But what is the story?'
well, he was a good fellow, and a
good lawyer, and he lived in Derby
about ten miles back from New Haven.
He had been drinking more juleps and
toddies than ne should. for the day was
hot and a new bartender had been i'm
ported from Tennessee. He was a tall
man, and he had the habit, when tipsy,
of fitting either backward or forward
and walking without any definite pur-
stand still and he couldn't turn. So
he came out of the refectory, tilted
forward and started across the Manga

and it had such a funny effect on him

Billed to Come OF In Salt Lake City
Tonight.

AUTHORITIES DIFFER AS TO
EXACT TIME.
Fear Has Been Expressed That the
Display Might Occur During
Hours of Daylight, In Which
Event It Would of Course Be In
visible.

Beginning at u O'clock tonight. Salt
Lskers will be favored with something
new in the line of sightseeing. A
shower of meteors is due here at that
hour, and is scheduled to continue for
three nights. Local astronomers have
been awaiting the event for some time
past with great deal of interest, and
new that it has really arrived they are
organizing parties to while away the
small hours in the interest of sci
ence-
Those who are competent to speak on
the subject are doubtful whether or not
a very good view of the meteors will
be afforded to the residents of Salt
Lake. The fact that a full moon is
holding sway augurs i'll for good sight
of the meteors. There isSalso consider
able doubt as to which night and the
time of the night that they may be
seen at tseir best
The shower is due here some time
between the 18th and 18th of the month.
whether il will come all in one night,
or whether it VIII extend over the three
nights is a question that none of the
local scientists pretend to know. If it
comes during the daytime the world
Will roll on just the same, and the fall
ing meteors Will not be seen. If the
shower occurs at midnight. as seems
most likely, it may be seen in the east
ern sky, but If ii appears in the early
morning it will be nearer the zenith.
This shower is one of a series that
occur every thirtv-three years. One of
them occurred in '33, and those who saw
it will never forget the grand sight
Another came in '66. 1t was not as
brilliant as the former one, but it was
a sight to be long remembered just the
same. If conditions are favorable il
is expected that the one due here this
week will equal in brilliancy the one
that was seen back in '33 by our grand
fathers

Be Great Agnostic Himself If
He Gets Away From Washington
Alive, Which the Speaker Thought
Was a Matter For Doubt.

'Ingersoll's Word and Work. lee

before small audience at the Theatre

sonal friend of the great agnostic for
the past twenty-five years. \ number
of notable local references We're mace
! in the course of the address. Mr.. Ellis
said, in part:
Ingersoll was a large-hearted. broad
minded, liberty-loving man, who, see
ing tyranny in the orthodox church,
turned a deluge of good-natured ridi-
cule upon it and shook the world. He
was hated by the clergy because he
exposed the orthodox religion and gave
| Intellectual liberty to a few. His facul-
ties were strong, and he saw through
clouds of darkness. shining truth. He
denounced-not religion, but supersti-
ton"
Mr.. Ellis dwelt for time on Inger-
soils love of home and his reasons for
fighting the church, and touched lightly
on the political side of his life.
Tore Talmage to Pieces.

posed Ingersoll, but he was torn to

News, WHO is very good man, had
known what he was talking about, he
would not have said that. Voltaire was
very unlike Ingersoll. He was an in

Payne was unlike either of them. He
was deist, not an atheist, as has been
said for years The speaker went on
to illustrate these points.
In another part of his lecture he said
there is much in the Bible that minis
tiers dare not read from the pulpit. and
that cannot be read at home. 1nger-
soil, he said, wanted it cleaned out"
''B. H. Roberts said in his address at
the tabernacle continued Mr.. Ellis.
that Ingersoll was not a learned man.
Well he didn't say he was, but if Mr..
Roberts had been more learned, he
would not have said that.

Apostle Matthias S. Cowley was the

and efficacy Of revelation and prayer.
He said that people must disabuse
themselves of the idea that the Book
of Mormon is the Bible of the Latter

of Mormon are esteemed equally by the
Saints said he, and neither one is
given preference. The Book of Mormon
is to the western hemisphere what the
Bible is to the eastern hemisphere
The Saints do not study the Scrip
lures enough. They are too much en-
veloped in the temporal things. of the

that Scriptural truths are greater than
gold"
