ENJOYMENT OF LIFE.
The Smile That Sits Serene Upon the
Face of Wisdom Is Source
of Longevity.

It may be that some enthusiastic
and laborious German statistician has
already accumulated figures bearing
upon the question of length of life and
its relation to the enjoyment thereof;
If so, we are unacquainted with his
results and yet have a very decided
notion that people who enjoy life, cheer
full people, are also those to whom
longest life is given. Commonplace
though this sounds, there is no truth
more commonly ignored in actual ev-
eryday existence. "Oh, yes, of course,
worry shortens life and the content
ed people live to be DID," we are
ready to say, and yet how many peo-
pie recognize the duty of cheerful
ness? Most persons will declare that
if man is not naturally cheerful
he cannot make himself so. Yet this
is far from being the case, and there
is many a man who is at present a
weary burden to his relatives, miser-
able through the carking care of
some bodily ailment, perhaps, or
some worldly misfortune, who, if he
had grown up into the idea that to
be cheerful under all circumstances
was one of the first duties of life,
might still see a pleasant enough
world around him. Thackeray truly
remarked that the world is for each of
us piuch as we show ourselves to the
world. If we face it with CHEEKY &C
ceptance we find the world fairly full
of cheerful people glad to see us. If
we snarl at it and abuse it we may be
sure of abuse in return. The discon-
tented worries of morose person may
very likely shorten his days, and the
general justice of natures arrange
ment provides that his early depar-
.ture should entail no long regrets. On
the other hand, man who can laugh
keeps his health and his friends are
glad to keep him. Too commonly,
though, as childhood is left behind the
habit fails, and half-smile is the best
that visits the thought-ined mouth
of a modern man or woman. People
become more and more burdened with
the accurnulatiens of knowledge and
with the weighing responsibilities of
life, but they should still spare time
to laugh" London Lancet.

WIRELESS TELEGRApEY.
Russian Officer Claims to Have In
vented a System That Does
Away with Poles.

Although the Marconi system is
now generally used in several for
eign countries, it has it's objection
from military point of view, owing
to the necessity for long poles, or
antennae, which are an easy mark
for an invading enemy, and make the
cutting of communication a matter
of little difficulty. Therefore the eff
forts of Col. de Pilsoudski to perfect
the system of wireless telegraphy
along the surface of the ground
should be a matter of great interest
to soldiers as we'll as to scientists,
seeing that it removes the objection
of conspicuous poles. We are in
formed that though this system of
ground telegraphy, like the Marconi
method, lis wireless, Col. de Pilsoudski

Public Officials Wrangle Over
Passes to Circus.

There was all sorts Of trouble in the
city last night as the result of Agent
Parker of the Sells & Gray circus get
ting the city and county mixed in the
distribution of deadhead tickets, and
of very injudici0us distribution of the
tickets intended for The cOuncilmen.
Early yesterday Agent Parker visited
the city and county building, and,
thinking he was among the city OF
GciaIs. distributed tickets with a lavish
hand in the offices of the county re
corder. treasurer, sheriff and others,
handing out from a half dozen to fifty,
in response to the various demands.
Strange to say, he missed the city Of
lices, and this caused q roar that put
the animals to sleep in the tent at
Eighth South.
But this was not the only bad break
that Agent Parker made. He gave
Councilman Whittemore sixty tickets
and ignored the other cOuncilmen- This
caused a special meeting Of the license
committee on the street corner Hew-
lett demanded to know by what au-
thOrity WhittemOre swiped ali the tick
cts. Robertson backed him in his de-
gnands, and iusinuated that White
more was Initiating his mayOralty boom
with them. These members also de-
malded to know by what authority
Whittemore fixed the license rate for
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-07-04

the circus at $50 a day without con-
sulting the other members Of the COM
mittee. A proposition was carried to
compel Sells & Gray to pay $50 day
license for the menagerie. in spite of
the fact that the $50 for the two days
had already been paid. The circus peO-
pie would not stand for this, and there
was no meuagerie shown last night
In the meantime Agent Parker tried
to fix things by making WhittemOre dis
gorge the sixty tickets, and these, with
forty mora, were left with the city re-
cOTder for distribution among the cOun-
cilmen and the other city officials. Rob
ertson and Reid refused the tickets al
lOtted to them.
As to the license rate, il was found
at the trsasurer's Office that Ringing
big show paid but $50 a day, while the
Gentry dog and pony show was charged
but S25 for four days. Mr. Parker says
he tried to do the right thing. but
that the city officials have treated him
shabby; he admits he made a mis-
take in distributing tickets among the
county officials, but says there was a
demand for many more, and he was
just getting in his buggy to haul an
other load up to the joint building
when the demand came for the 800 ad-
ditional license tax, ana he quit right
there.

For the many kind attentions shown

that the bank would have honored the

order of court to protect it against any
claims which the heirs and legatees of
the dead man might make.
The box also contained the will of Mr.

interesting Story Disclosed by
Suit Against a Bank.

The filing Of the suit of Mrs. May
Hummel against the bank OF Walker
Brothers yesterday disclosed an inter
esting tale The plaintiff is seeking to
recover $1,000 in ca-sh. together with $50
for damages alleged to have been suf-
Tered by her by reason of the refusal
Of the bank TO turn over to her the
contents Of a safety deposit box which
John McClarnOn had rented. and for
the contents of which McClarnon had
given Mrs Hummel on order on the
bank, dated April % OF this year. The
complaint charges that the box con-
tanned ten currency notes of 500 each.
and that the bank refuses to permit
plaintiff to open the box, claiming that
her right to the money is not valid.
Mr. McCtarnOn was q wealthy bach
elOr who died in this city on May /, at
ter an operation for removal of gall
stones. He was a pioneer Of Montana,
and had amassed property and money
worth not less than $50, 900. For the
