evidence. they had misunderstood
him or he had failed to convey the
proper impression on them at that
time. The cross-examination was not
completed and Ripley will take the
stand today.
Taylor gave him the order on jan
16 for the organization of the com
pany and On Jan. rs Ripley came
here and secured equipments for it.
This was the day on which he had
the conversation with Taylor, and his
version Of it, which varies materially
from that stated by Messrs Bradley
and Yost, was as follows
Il went into the governors office
and found Governor Taylor looking
very badly. told him was sorry
to see him looking badly, to which
he replied In substance: In these
horrible times anybody would look
bad. Some irresponsible fool or crank
is likely to kill me or kill Goebel and
cause a riot around here, in which
there will be many lives sacrificed. z

which it seeks 70 extend the number
of these organizations, with the hope
that there may be eventually no city
or village without humane society.
But what does all this mean2 Is
the Humane Society merely an agency
to prevent the abuse Of animals or lit
Gle children? Not SO. .Amiable and
necessary as Is the work from this
point III view, this is only one OF Its
objects.
The Humane movement Is one OF
the most important Of all ciyilizing
agencies; and its advocates hold that
in its evolution II cannot cease from
earth until. In the human race, the
predatory animal Is extinct and his
place Is taken by person of right
reason and all embracing beneflcence.

handsome as to need no floral dec

Warrington Advocate.
Over in Morgantown things are
dry. Very dry, to be plain, 1t is
said that nothing but water has been
!. used there in the beverage line for
many weeks. Soda water, of course,
on the side. But no s'boozea The
drugstore owners became afraid Of
Judge Mason and his policy toward
liquor dealers, and declined to sell
drop, except to persons afflicted with
snake bite.
1t is wonderful how many people
had been out in the snake dens after
this order went into effect They
came limping towards the drugstore
in droyes. Over in the country, in
the ssDalton" settlement, lives
ssLeeyen Dalton, the famous snake
hunter. Dalton keeps pet snakes
about his house. and knows the dens
and lairs OF scores OF reptiles He can

For him to ride to town with his but
ter and eggs when the roads are bad.
The snakes bring him through the

d But this story is about stranger
who struck Morgantown with an un-
mitigated thirst. One Of the kind
which makes a man spit cotton
and his tongue feel like a rug. He
belonged In a town where one can
step up to bar and drink all the
poison his system can stand. This
man went into one of Morgantown's
hotels and boldly asked ''where is the
bar?s 1T is not in session now, !"
replied the abashed landlord. ssbut |
think you can find some of the lawyers
about the court house." aMy dear
SIR replied the man with thirst, 81
want drink of Whiskey.n The land
lord fell back against the wall, pale
and trembling. That word had not
been spoken in his house since Judge
Mason issued his famous decree. The
landlord feared the mere mention of
Mhiskey might cause his arrest and
imprisonment. He recovered himself
sufficiently TO gasp TO the stranger the
words: "Drug store. Nothing here.
Get prescription, /" and was carried to
axhis room by the bell boy
The man found drug store imme-
diately. The druggist informed him
that he sold only to persons afflicted
with snake bite. The man with the
large thirst despaired, but as be left
the store colored man stepped up
and said: "Boss, I'll take you out to
Leeve Dalton's for dollar, where you
can get sure nuff snake bite and then
all the boozology you want"
The man closed the bargain and in
an hour they were at ''Leeve" Dial
toms cabin.
"Want to get snake bite" said
the stranger eagerly. ssWant big
one, which will last all day and take
gallon or so OF liquor to cure.
Bound to have it. Systems run
down. Stomach full of barbed wire
and my mouth feels like the frey fur
mace
ssWall now, I'm powerful sorry, !"
drawled Leve, as If he had week to
talk, "but the snake bites is all en-
gagged for the next two weeks. Can't
accommodate you"

valley not far from the new, M. & X.

WHO MAY REBUKE DISEASE ?
To the Editor:

To the Editor
Dear Sir-Would you kindly answer
the following question through your
paper:
Has woman who belongs 10 our
church. the right under any circum-
stances 10 rebuke disease by LAYING
hands on the sick? BY answering the
foregoing question you will confer IA
vor upon many"
The foregoing has been received from
lady in Idaho. II our correspondent
had been a careful reader Of the Deseret
News she would not have had occasion
TO ask for light on that subject II
has been many times explained in these
columns. The answer Is that every
person who has faith in Jesus Christ
may lay hands on the sick and pray
Tor their recovery. "And the prayer Of
faith VIII save the sick and the Lord
viii raise them up"
The ordinance appointed IN the
Church for the healing Of the sick Is to
be performed by the Elders. They are
TO anolnt with oil and lay their hands
upon them They have authority In the
Priesthood to seal the amounting, and
the blessing Of health and restoration
upon those to whom they administer. A
Priest Teacher or Deacon may admin.
lister to the sick, and so may a member.
male or female, but neither Of them can
seal the amounting and blessing. be-
cause the authority 20 do that is vested
In the Priesthood after the order Of
Melchisedek; the office Of Elder comes
under that Priesthood. When an Elder
or Elders can be obtained, they should
be sent for to administer this ordinance
for the sick-James v. 14l5. Doc. and
Gov. Sec. xiii, H-52.
II should never be forgotten that the
sick are healed by faith, through
prayer. The ordinance has no forc,
without faith Jesus said when lie per
formed the works called miracles
"Thy faith hath made thee whole
Luke VIII. 4s And His promise was
"These signs shall follow them that be
lleve," Mark xvi. IS. Also IAN thing
are possible to him that believeth
Mark tx. 20.
There are occasions when no Elder
