A MATTER OF SPECULATION.
Whay It's Harder to Say No Than It Is
 to Say Yes.

That he was a most exemplary young man and in every way worthy of the favor of any woman whom he might seek in marriage there was no denying. but he was slow on some points of re- ciprocaI affection and he needed to be shaken up a bit. He was fond of dis cussing sociologic and moral questions. and once started on his hobby he could scarcely be headed in any other direc- tion. He had been quite devoted in his attention to one young woman for as much as six months. but she had been unable to bring him to his senses, though she was willing to confess that she had tried repeatedly to do so. Of course. she had done it in the delicate ways women have in those matters, but what he needed was a club.
 Not a great while ago he was calling. as usual. and as usual he was neglect ing sentiment for something that only made a girl tired. This time he was moraIizing on the temptations of life and the proneness of people to yield without making the proper effort against them in whatever form they might appear.

HARD TO TELL TRUTH.

A young lawyer in this city has made frequent attempts to tell a story of his fathers experience, and each time some one has accused him of repeating hu- morous story which is still making the rounds of the newspapers. His father is a minister. Some years ago he went to a New England town to preach sermon. He was a stranger to the congregation. There was the usual notices on his desk for him to read to the congregation Among them was found a funeral notice. When the min ister began to read this notice with due solemnity giving the hour when de- ceased was to be buried and inviting the members of the congregation to be present, he was amazed to See the smile that went around the church. After the service a deacon came to him and asked;
 where did You get that funeral mo- tice?"
 Tt was with the other notices said the minister. What is the trouble? Isn't the man dead?"
 Dead said the deacon. Well, he ought to be. We buried him year and a half ago.
 In some way the notice had turned up. possibly from the leaves of the Bible. A paragraph about the incident was published in the local papers, and it had vitality enough to travel all over the country. When the minister's son attempts to tell the story he is greeted with incredulOus smiles, and if he as serts that it is true his listeners are very apt to say that it is a good story, but they have read it before. Tt goes to prove" says the lawyer, "how hard it is to tell the truth."-New York Sun.

THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD.
Great Increase Last Year in All the
 Mining Countries.


 The production of gold throughout America promises to be larger this year than ever before. All our min ing fields are increasing their output" says Director Roberts, of the mint bu- reau. Colorado, formerly a silver state, which in the last half-dozep years has forged to the front as a gold producer, is mining more of the yellow metal than ever before. As yet Nome does not appear largely as a gold cen ter. for the shipments from that field have not commenced to arrive. The Yukon country. on the other hand. is turning out even more dust than be- fore. Last year the product of the placers around Dawson was about $15, coo ,OOO.

 He looked her straight in the eyes at last, and a hush fell upon the scene.

DEAR SIR" AND YOURS TRULY"

TO shorten labor and save time is to lenGthsn life. When, therefore, our contemporary, the Haberdazher pro poses to reduce the burden of business correspondence by abolishing dear sir and yours very truly" it is propos- ing a form in the interest of longevi- ty.
 Actual experiment has shown that it talks a typewriter one hour to write the formal words with which they are opened and closed on a batch of 500 letters. The haberdasher finds that cn rhe total estimated annual letter mail of the world, which is S0O0.O00,00O pieces, the dear sirs" and yours ve- ry trulys." even if all written by ma chine would take the time of one type writer 6, 700 years, con aiming 300 da"s to the working year.

IN MANS ATTIRE.

Camden N. j. Special to the New York
WORLD
Pastor Martin came to the city jail
this morning and got his wife, who has
been locked up since Tuesday night on
the charge of appearing in the street
in male attire.
Rev. Charles L. Martin is pastor of
the Baptist church at Pensauken, and
on Tuesday night his wife said she
would like TO go out and hear the
election returns. but the pastor held
up his hands in holy horror.
You would be insulted everywhere
he said.
If I was d man I wouldn't" said
his wife
But you're not a man." replied the
pastor as he went to his study. Two
hours later a policeman saw a figure
sitting on tree trunk, and upon going
closer saw that it was woman in the
garments of a man.
Her arrest followed but it took a
night in the cell of the city Jail before
she would reveal her identity and al
low a word to be sent to her husband
This morning Mr.. Martin appeared
with a bundle Of woman's clothes and
Mrs. Martin went home with him, but
IN bundle that went with her was
the black Fedora hat, long overcoat
and black trousers that she wore when

A Journal representative asked her
what caused her to don her husband
clothes.

ton returns she replied, and my
husband would not allow me to go out
for fear that / would be insulted.
knew that if 1 was a man it would be
all right; so on the impulse of the
moment, after my husband had gone
to his study, I went to his room and
donned a suit of his old clothes and

There was no one around and L

hardly month ago. have reached total
sale OF nearly 100000 copies, and are TWO
OF the books most talked about at pres

Mr.. AIDE is a Hoosier, and his humor
has the same hOmely twang which char

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT
JOSEPH r. SMITH.

Sir-In the Salt Lake Herald of Nov.
u I notice your scathing attack on the
secret societies. I intended to reply to
it before now, but have not, until this
moment, had time to attend to trifies
In connection with your remarks IN
the Tabernacle last Sunday, l wish to
ask you a few questions;
First. Is not the Mormon church
secret society?
Second. Why did the Prophet Joseph
Smith and President Brigham Young
join societies in which 'unchastity was
permissible; band of drunkards, a
crowd of horsethieves?" l quote the
latter words from your own speech.
Third. Why did Brigham Young
make application for admission to a
lodge in Salt Lake City?
Fourth. Why are the Mormon temple
ceremonies an imitation of the ritual
Of one of those secret societies with
which you find so much fault?
Fifth. How do you account for men
like George Washington, President Nc
Kinley. Mr.. w J. Bryan and a MAORI
ty of the members of the United States
senate and house of representatives
being connected with "a crowd of
hOrsethieves, a band of drunkards?"
You seem, Mr.. Smith, to be talking of
things you do not understand, for. of
course, a gentleman in your exalted
position would not purpOsely misrepre-
think that your hearers would natural
" wonder why men who have hitherto
borne a blameIess character, men
whom the nation delights to honor,
should be, after all, such despicable
characters, teachers of unchastity.
drunkaTds and a crowd of horse
| thieves?
You mention one or two cases of
men who you claim were members of
some fraternal order, breaking the
! laws and doing wrong. l think that
may be possible, and If you wish it
/ can mention many cases of members
] Of the Mormon church who have
| broken the laws; have stolen, have
/ committed forgery, adultery and pos
/ sibly all the crimes of the calendar.
| Then, according to your teaching
/ the church should be condemned and
| avoided, for, as you liken the great
| millions of fraternity men to the few
black sheep of which you have heard
/ and place them all in one category, il
| would be equally just Cor unjusO tC
| rank the Mormon church as a whole
| with those few of its members who live
an ungOdly life.
The truth is that We are all striving
/ in our own weak way to attain the
! ideal life; we all teach purity and god
| illness; we all aim to overcome our fail
! ingS and to help the weak and erring
/ and if we try this in different ways, i
! does not help the cause for which W.
are struggling to call each other baC
names or to misrepresent other secre
! organizations.
So in future, Mr. Smith, let me bes
of you to be just to yourself, be jus
to your audience, be just to ALL anC
before you attempt to attack organize
tons of which you seem to know 81
very little, find out just the truth ant
then give the truth, the whole truth
and especially nothing but the truth
! Yours, respectfully.
