A Summer Trip.

The trip to Salt Lake City or the
Pacific Coast via Salt Lake City by
way of the Rio Grand Western

European trip of equal length can
compare with it in grandeur of scene
ry or wealte of novel interest. Then
Salt Lake City itself is picturesque

nacle, Tithing Office and church In

springs within the city limits its de-
lightful temperate sunny climate and
its Great Salt Lake-Geader and

Men succeed in their prof

Men succeed in their professions
quite as much by complaisance and
kindness of manner as by talent.
Demosthenes, in giving his we'll
known advice to an orator-that
eloquence consisted in three things,
the first 'saction," the second SAC
tom and the third saction'-is
supposed to have intended manner
only. A telling preacher in his
opening remarks gains the goodwill
of his hearers, and makes them feel
both that he has something to say
and that he can say it-by his man
, ner. Again, has the business man
any stock in trade that pays him
better than a good address? If
kindness of disposition be the
essence of good manners, our sub
ject is een at once to shade off into
the great n of Christianity itself.
1t is the heart that makes both the
true gentleman and the great theo-
logiap.-Journal.

Henrietta Howard, a big, fat,

would easily tip the scales at 200
pounds, called around Saturday even
ing and asked us to publish to the
world that she is the mother of thirty
children five of whom are living and
the balance, twenty-five, dead. OF
the thirty there were four girls and
twenty-six boys. She said she had
''twelve head'' OF boys before there
was a break and a girl arrived. The
father Of all these children Austin
Howard, was along, and seemed
very proud of being the daddy of
such a progeny. Henrietta and
her husband belonged to Ex-Governor
Moore, and still reside on the
plantation at Mooreland, this parish,
where they were born, on that
portion now owned by Mrs. Il. j.
Hakenyos, a granddaughter OF
the late Governor Moore. Henrietta
saysla age is 81 and that she was a
house servant in the Moore family.
Howard gave his age at 81. Both

ED. REPUBLICAN Il wish Il very

say word in reply to an article pub
lished in the Journal signed "Citi-
zen." / regret very much to feel
compelled to do so, and shall notice
only such portions as refer directly to

ed that Citizen is all he claims to
be-that he has an interest in the
public schools; an interest that he
will maintain and defend. Also that
his hope for the "betterment of the
public schools of Oakland" especial
ly, will be realized.
The statement that a teacher gave
grade in his charge but one recita-
ton in a week is without foundation.
"Citizen" must have picked up this
false information by the wayside l
am sure he did not get it through the
proper channel, viz, by a personal
visitation of the schools.
1t does seem to me that the proper
thing for Citizen" to have done,
upon getting such information, would
have been to have called personally
upon the principal and stated the
matter and learned the facts, instead
of rushing into print Suppose he
had found this wrong to have been
perpetrated, the proper step would
have been to have called the atten-
ton of the school authorities to it
in other words, demanded an inces-
tigatiOn.

be what they should be there must

Now, my friend, whoever you may
be, can't you come out and tell us
