! NGAGED MEN should be mighty
- careful Of their health. They
should refrain from staying out late at
night, from eating indigestible things,
from gazing upon the high ball in its
lair and from all other things calcu-
lated to shorten their existence by the
barest traction of time. The reason for
this excess Of caution is found in an
Iowa case. Mary Christensen was en-
gagged to marry Frank Crum.
The pair had had a happy courtship
and the prospect for connubial bliss
was extremely bright. One day Crum
was so inconsiderate and thoughtless
as to die. 1t was mighty careless OF
him and Mary moped around consider
ably. Finally she called on lawyer
and asked if something couldn't be
done to help her out. He promptly filed
suit against the administrator of
Crums estate, charging the deceased
with breach OF promise.
OF course Crum was found guilty. It
was easily proved by the records of the
local undertaking establishment that
he was dead. Likewise. it was apparent
that he had never married the canny
Mary. The plaintiff sued for $1,000 and
was awarded $4,000. As no protest has
been made by Crum it is fair TO pre-
sumo that he's well satisfied with the
verdict. He ought to be. for he's better
off dead than married to a woman as
mercensry as Miss Christensen.
A girl who could so far forget her
grief at the demise of a man she pro-
fessed to love as to sue his estate Cor
money because he didn't live long
enough to marry her is a dishOnor to
her sex. Most women would have
worked their fingers off before they
would have instituted such a proceed
ing. The conclusion to be drawn from
the court proceedings is Irresistible.
Miss Christensen didn't love Crum.
She did love his money and, having Sc
cured a portion of it without Crum,
she viii be better satisfied than if she
had gotten al of it with Crum thrown
in.
The Herald closes as it began. with a
word OF friendly warning to young men
who are engaged. Don't trife with
anything which may shorten your ca
reer before you're married. Afterward.
if the girl is on the order of Mary
Christensen, you may wish you had.
but then the chance is worth taking.

AHATIoN OF eIVERs.

A GOOD ACCOUNT is being given by
4 American citizens of their stew
ardship. The men who have been en-
dowed With the ability to accumulate
money. are also endowed with a spirit
of generosity which prompts them to
distribute portions of their wealth in
such manner as to bring about the
greatest possible good TO the greatest
possible number of their less fortunate
fellow countrymen.
During the year 1901, according to
figures compfed by a thoughtful stat
istician. gifts for public uses in this
country Aggregated the immense sum
of $1O7, $50, GEO. OF this great total one
man. Andrew Carnegie, gave away SOL
600 600 His donations for the estab-
lishment of libraries in the various
cities NJ the land amounted to $4,000
OOO Mr. Carnegie's generosity is GER
tainly in proportion to his wealth, but
other American citizens have done as
we'll or better
The gifts which go TO make up the
grand total mentioned do not include
the millions upon millions OF dollars
expended quietly in private philan-
thropic works. Only those large dona-
tions which get into the newspapers
are used to swell the figures. Hun
dreds of rich men in this republic and
thousands of poor ones, do not believe
in making public their good works.
They. give anonymously or they per
form their. charities in such a way that
nobody except the immediate bene-
ficiaries know anything about them.
1t is good to give in that way; it is
good to avoid any accusation of pos
ing as a doer of good deeds, but the
public way of giving is good also. Ere
quently a mean man is induced 30 part
from a goodIy portion of his money by
the knowledge that he viii secure some
advertising from il. Often a man is
inspired to charity through reading
that a neighbor, perhaps poorer than
himself. has contributed Literally to
this or that work
The main thing, after all is to get the
money for GOO works, so long as it is
not acquired through questionable tao
ties. The statistics show that it is
easier to get money here for worthy
purposes than in any other country on
the globe and the spirit OF philanthropy
is becoming more and more difused all
the time. This is evidenced by the fact
that the highest previous record Of
beAefactious in one year was So, 80
600.

EVANS AND PRINCE HENRY.
An Interview at Kiel Told in "a
Sailors Log.v


in Captain Robiey d. Evans book. "A
Sailors Log" the author gives an anus
ing account of his first meeting with
Prince Henry of Prussia and the Princess
Irene, as follows:
AT a reception given on board one OF
the German battleships on the Sunday
after our arrival had an interesting eX-
perienee. When I went over the side I
found a large company, most of them
dancing. As 1 was not dancing man, ]
stood at one side to be out of the way,
and entered into conversation with a
young, clean-cut German captain, who
spoke English perfectly. 1t was soon evil
dent to me that he was brilliant in his
profession, and we engaged in rather
sharp professional talk. l did not agree
with the captain. whose name l had not
caught and did not hesitate to speak my
mind-nOr did he.
After a time he said he would be glad
10 present me to his wife, which he did
and [ found her a. very charming and
attractive woman. Of course, L had not
caught her name, either. and after talk
ing with Ter half an hour. l noticed that
a good many people seemed TO he waiting
to speak to her, so l took myself of TO
the smoking apartment to enjoy q cigar.
When I entered. Admiral KnOrr greeted
me and said; Evans, the prince says YOU
are a good fellow and he wants the en-
peror to know you ! replied, My dear
admiral, l haven't seen the prince and
don't know him Well he said, YOU
ought 10 know him; you have been talk
ing shop with him for half an hour and
[ don't know what you have been saying
to the princess during your conversation
with her
Il had been talking with two of the
most delightful people I ever met. Prince
Henry and the Princess Irene, without
knowing in the least who they were. and
certainly told them both exactly wnat
l thought about the different things We
discussed. The prince was in his uniform
al captain in the navy and commanded
the vessel on which the reception was
given. I afterward saw much of both Of
them and was indebted TO them for much
courtesy, and the better / knew them the
more / saw in them to admire. II was
no doubt owing 70 the courtesy of Prince
Henry that his brother, the emperor
gave me such marks of distinguished con-
sideration. The Princess Irene came sew
eral times to the New York and seemed
always interested and pleased with her
visits

The audience that greeted Frederick
Warde yesterday afternoon at the The
atre was an unprecedented compliment
to the tragedian and TO the Press club,
under whose auspices the lecture was
given. The house was packed. Every
seat and all the standing room down
stairs was occupied. and there was dit
fculty in obtaining standing room even
in the second balcony, while to2 tEird
circle had a sprinkling of Mr.. Warde' 5
admirers and Shakespeare's students.
The attendance was the largest ever
brought together in the house for a
ma tinee or afternoon event. and in
spite of the low scale of prices, the
Press club will realize something like
$3.50 after ali expenses are paid. There
were just 1.096 persons IN attendance
and for the first time in the history
of the Salt Lake theatre not a single
pass was issued.
Mr.. Warde had his audience COM
pletely enthralled from the beginning
of his lecture His dissertation on
Portia was alone such a treaI as one
experiences not often in a life time.
The lecturer in this demonstrated his
command and insight of the bard more
perfectly than in any other part OF his
talk. perhaps. although every word OF
it was intensely interesting and eagerly
received.
Mr.. Warde was introduced by Colonel
William Nelson. managing editor OF
the Tribune, in appropriate words, and
received an ovation when he hrSt
stepped out upon the stage.
At the conclusion of the lecture,
dinner was spread at the Tavern for
Mr.. Warde and the committee in whose
hands he so graciousiy placed himself.
That aged piece of drama bric-a-brac,
"Ole Olson was given at the Grand
last night by Ben Hendricks, who IS
probably the cleverest actor in the line
of Swedish dialect on the stage today.
The play made an immense hit with
the audience. which was large enough
to fill the house. The crowd laughed
itself hoarse over Ole's comic adven-
lures. cheered him every time he saved
the life of the heroine and jeered the
Williams Justify. Some specialties that
are passing fair we're given In the
show. Chief among them was the fe-
male auartette. which sang a couple
of Swedish songs and slaughtered odd
Kentucky Home" The girls sing well
when they have good luck. The soprano
is true as steel, but somebody missed
the key occasionally by anywhere from
two to three inches.
"Ole Olson" runs out the rest of the
week. and from present indications the
engagement will be notably large.

Editor LIGHT:
/ see where you state in the Light
of the l4th that }. T. Roberts Is
back from Durant, /. t., and that
he states corn is selling there at 40
cents per bushel. ! am glad you
published that fact. / tell people
every day that the farmer is getting
30 cents to 40 cents at nearly all
Territory stations at present, but
they seem to doubt the fact and are
going from Ellis county every day
ito buy the cheap corn they hear
of but which does not exist. This
policy has caused corn to advance
about 10 cents at neerly all loading
stations throughout Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma and the farmer
is getting IS cents per bushel in
Kansas today for his corn. Ii the
farmer and other people had and
would stay at home we could be
selling corn today at 10 cents per
bushel cheaper than we are. In
my opinion we win have cheaper
corn by December than now, and
some parties now in the Territory
buying corn at present prices Will
have pretty costly corn when they
pay freight on it in the ear. People
do not understand that there is on
an average of $4,000 freight pei
car on corn whether in ear or not,
and the average car of ear corn con.
tains only about 400 bushels. These
are the reasons corn is so much
higher than you expected to pay for
