ulation of nearly 100000, its liberal at
titude toward apostles of all strange
sects, and its central position, was by
long odds the most available center
from which the Mormon Church might
carry on it's PROSECUTING operations.
The story of his first visit to Chicago
gives curious insight into the work
ings of the church of the Latter Day
Saints.
When Roberts first decided to enter
national politics he did so without con-
sulting the chief council of Mormon
elders. He ran for Congress and was
defeated by the votes of his own people.
This was not from any dislike of Mr..
Roberts himself or of his practices.
The Mormon Council at Salt Lake City
requires its elders to obtain permission
of the church before taking an active
part in politics. Roberts ignored the
rule of the church, and all the ecclesi-
astical machinery of that body was set
in motion against him. He was beaten
by his own party, and after that was
compelled to make an abject apology to
the president and the council. They
fixed his penance ut years missionary
work in the interest of Mormonism.
He went to Chicago in the winter of
"a and '95 and preached for six months
and founded the main Mormon Church

Justice Brewer DeItRhts In Entertain
ing His Many Friends.
One Of the most genial of judicial
dignitaries at Washington is Associate
Justice Brewer OF the Supreme Court.
He is an admirable story -teller and fire.
quently amuses his colleagues and
friends by the droll yarns he relates.
He told one recently that caused a
broad smile to corrugate the faces Of
the grave and reverend gentlemen who
compose the highest tribunal In the
land. Out in Indiana, he said, there
was justice of the peace who owned
n farm. One line Of his fence formed
the boundary of the States of Indiana
and Ohio. Like others I'm rural dis
tricts who hold that Office he had an
abnormal appreciation of the RESPONSE
bility of the Office and never lost an
opportunity to exercise his prerogative
of demanding that the peace be pre-
served. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on stretch Of the
farm near the boundary line fence and
the justice of the peace rushed out and
mounted the fence. Then, with head
cooked high and the air of one who
has but to command, he shouted: I'm
the name of the State of Indiana l de-
mand the preservation of the peace"
Just then the fence gave way under
his weight and as he soon went down
with the fence topping over to the
Ohio side he shouted to his son: "Give
him the mischief, Jim; I've lost my
jurisdiction
Judge Brewer is a firm believer In
the value of plain, convincing argu-
ment, moderated by language Of the
fiowery type, as opposed to high-soar-
ing dissertations. When he was study
ing law in New York City he evinced
some interest in the municipal cam
paign then on and was invited to make
a speech on a certain occasion. He ac-
cepted and carefully fortifying himself
with information on the subject and
otherwise preparing for his part of the
program he appeared on the platform
in ample time. When he got up he
made an eloquent depletion of the vir-
tues of his party; he made deep
draughts on smile and metaphor; his
sentences were exquisitely rounded
and it was a mastery example of a
class-day grafton. The audience sat
unmoved, an occasional nod alone
greeting what he said. The next speak
er was an unkempt individual, careless
Of grammar, who committed a whole
sale slaughter Of the English language.
But he made several good points in a
crude way that appealed to the crowd,
and when he ended the applause was
deafening. AS the then would-be law

The Origin of Tins.

The word Is old in the language, at
least, of slang, meaning a gift or loan.
Tip me your daddle," or Tip us your
ripper" give me your hand: ''tip me a
hog" give me shilling; 'tlp him a
wink" Tor a "gleg?') these are all Of
common parlance, and have been so, at
any rate. since an earlier date than
1855, when some of them, as well as
some others, were recorded by Grose in
his classical Dictionary of the Vulgar
Tongue" DR.. Johnson gives, ITO tip
to give; low cant term. Dryden"
A ''tip" meant also "a draught," r(as
we should now say "a drink" also re-
corded by Grose. This may very prob
ably have come from another source.
In the seventeenth century Swift wrote:
When 1 saw the keeper frown,
Tipping him with half-a-crown,
Now, said l, we are alone.

This depression is sixty miles above

The ways Of auctioneers in different

WHAT IT MEANS.
Timely Words by Dr. Copeland Upon the Opportunities
of Summer to the Afflicted.
What Summer Means
In the Cure of Catarrh.

There are contracted during the periods
OF fall, winter and spring those catarrhal
conditions OF the head and throat and
other parts that are engaged in carrying
air to the lungs. The changeable weather,
the cold spells followed by warm periods
with thaws and dampness. together with
a necessity during the cold weather Of
living indoors with the house shut up and
often overheated, the impure air of closed
buildings, all tend to the development OF
disease of those parts which carry air TO
the lungs and 10 the ears. Not only does
the inclemency of spring. fall and winter
produce such diseases, but the same caus-
es that produce the disease also interfere
with the efforts OF the doctor to cure them.
During the summer months things are
different. The climate is warmer. the high
winds loaded with dusty particles that
irritate the diseased parts that carry the
air are absent: there is plenty of fresh
air, as the house Is kept open and this,
together with outdoor life. so improves
the general health that nature is able 10
improve all those diseases that attack
the breathing tracts and ears. Thus. in
the treatment OF all catarrhal diseases,
that which has been frequently urged is
true, namely, that one month Of treat
ment during the summer, when the La
bility to catching cold Is reduced to the
minimum and nature lends her aid to the
physician, is worth two months of the
most skillful and conscientious treatment
during winter.
