The Aneta Panorama, a usually
transformations and modest local fac
tor, in it's last issue raises the black
aa=gin opposition to matters and
things in it's humble little village, in
the following %stentorian voice: The
gambling vice has been allowed to run
riot in our town SO long that, at the
present time, it is assuming danger
GUS proportions. Shorty, Silver,
Whitley, Blacky and bipeds of every
other cognomen, have taken possession
of the business in this town until it
has become dangerous for laboring
men with any amount of money to
enter here. Matters have gone from
bad to worse, and have recently reach
ed a climax, when certain persons
have endeavored to keep wayward
friends from the clutches Of these tin
horns"

slope untrammeled and in a position
to support Senator H%ansbrough.

The Bows Three Wishes.

On the way to Fairyland is the Wish
ing Gate. 1t is a queer old gate half
way up a steep, lonely hill, at whose
foot lies beautiful lake.
They say that when you are upon this
gate you may wish three times and al
ways get your wish. So one day a boy
who had just earned cents by bring
ing in wood for a neighbor, climbed
to the topmost rail and said: Il wish
I could have whole lot of money
without working for it."
You shall have your wish" creaked
the gate.
And straightway a big potato bag full
of money tumbled into his lap. 1t was
so big and came SO suddenly that it
made him fall forward; but as his feet
were caught between the rails, he was
still on the gate, though head down
ward. and with hands upon the ground.
Il wish" said he pettishly, that the
money was at the bottom Of the lake"
Down rolled the money bag, and with
a great splash, was gone forever.
"Oh, dearI'' said the boy, trying to
free himself, "I wish I could get away
from the old gate
Immediately the lower rail snapped
and set his feet at liberty, and off he
ran to the woodpile as fast as his legs
could carry him.-Kindergarte Re

Philosopher and Ferryman.

A philosopher stepped on board a
ferryboat to cross stream; on the
passage he inquired of the ferryman If
he understood arithmetic. The man
looked astonished. Arithmetic? No,
sir: never heard of it before" The
philosopher replied: II am very sor-
nv. for one-quarter Of your life is gone.
A few minutes after, he asked the fer
ryman: do you know anything of
mathematics? The boatman smiled,
and replied: No well, then" said
the philosopher, another quarter of
your life is gone"
A third question was asked the fer
ryrnan: do you understand astrono-
my?" mo. no, no. never heard of
such a thing "Well, my friend, then
another quarter of your life is gone.
Just at this moment the boat ran on
rock. and was sinking, when the ferry
man jumped up. pulled off his coat, and
asked the philosopher, with great
earnestness of manner: Sir, can you
swim?" NO" said the philosopher.
"Well. them said the ferryman, your
whole life is lost; for the boat is going
to the bottom"

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews;
Among the many interesting letters
that Aunt Busy received this past
week was one from a Salt Lake niece.
This letter Aunt Busy will not pub
lish for the present. She has written
personal letter to the dear niece,
and Aunt Busy hopes to hear again
from her next week, but she expects
bright. newsy letter next time.
Some Of you are wondering why
Aunt Busy will not publish this par
ticular letter. The writer is dear,
bright girl, and one of Aunt Busy
best friends. but the letter did not suit
old Aunt Busy at all She will tell
you why. The dear child writes long
list of woes that she really thinks exist,
and the burden of the letter is about
people-meaning her schoolmates and
friends-not treating her right, and
that some folks said. they did not like
something she did" etc, etc. Oh.
such recital Of woes has not reached
Aunt Busy's desk since James Quigley
wrote all his troubles because his good
father would not let him have a dread
fUl shotgun.
Poor, dear little girl! What a pity
it is that her sunny head is troubled
SO early over such triflesl OF course
the good opinion of friends should be
dear to US all, but if friends are real
friends. they will not hurt each Others
feelings by making unkind remarks,
and if they are not real friends we
should not worry about them.
Aunt Busy has once before quoted
in this department the following verse,
that she remembers from childhood
days:
This world is a difficult world indeed,
And people are hard to suit;
And the man who plays on the violin,
is a bore 10 the man with the flute. >"
In those days Aunt Busy did not
think the verse very remarkable, but
when she grew older she thought it
very true, indeed, and as she grew still
older she decided that it was quite the
truest thing she ever read. So will
you, dear girls and boys, some day
when you are as old. as weary and as
wise as your Aunt Busy.
On, this terrible bugbear of They
saids " Il heards,' etc. Life would be
one long dream of happiness if people
only spoke kindly of each other, if the
VIRTUE of charity were only carried out,
il all the people in the world attend
ed strictly to their own affairs, not
minding the affairs Of others, but there
IS only one place where such happiness
VIII be found. This place is Heaven,
SO the only thing to do is to try to
1--we so we viii reach there some day.
Aunt Busy is afraid that her niece is
TOO sensitive. Those who are unduiy
sensitive will find lifes pathway a hard
one. Not only hard for them, but hard
Tor their friends. Aunt Busy hopes the
dear niece with all the troubles" will
think seriously whether or not she may
9e responsible for most of the troubles.
10 all the dear nieces and nephews old
Aunt Busy wants to give this advice:
Never mind what the people say but
90 What you think is right

10 question one is, that Aunt Busy has
olly heard once from Kemmerer, and
she is sorry, because she knows there
are many bright girls and BOYS there.
VINO should write to her How is Aunt
busy 10 answer the second question?
now OLD Is She? Oh, dear, dear boy,
now often, oh, how often. has Aunt
Busy, with tears in her eyes warned
her children never to ask a woman her
age. Don't, don't ever do it, if you want
10 be popular. Now you are thinking,
why. Dear boy, Aunt Busy regrets
tnat she can not give you a sensible
answer to a sensible question. but she
can not. Some day when you are very
OLD, very wise, and very gray, you may
Know why. The next question is about
Aunt Busy's politics. This is almost
as serious a question as that of her
age. You see, dear, Aunt Busy has told
you all many times before, that she
is very old-faShioned woman. An
old-fashioned woman has, of course,
queer ideas. One of Aunt Busy's queer
notions is a perfect horror of women
in politics. She thinks that every man
should understand politics, and she
admires a boy who is interested, like
yourself but she really believes that
the women should remain out of poll
ties and spend their time training dear
fellows like yourself, so that you will
always be good, brave, true men, re-
CARELESS of your politics. Of course,
Aunt Busy votes, and she always votes
for her friends who may be on the
ticket either Democrat or Republican.
She will admit to you, though, because
she is very fond of you that
all her best friends are Democrats. Do
you understand, Morgan Aunt Busy
has enjoyed your interesting letter.
Write whenever you wish; she is only
glad to reply to your letters. and your
questions. Love to Arthur and your
self

tins were allowed to establish them
selves and lay their eggs and hatch
them. But the sparrows lowered over
the nests. One morning we saw hen
sparrow putting her head out of one of
the nests occupied by the martins, and
she then deliberately pushed two of the
young martins (more or less feathered)
out of the nest, who fell to the ground
practically killed, with their heads
pecked to pieces.
The parent birds flew helplessly
round, unable to protect themselves
against the furious onslaught of the
sparroWs. The sparrows do nothing
but sit on the spouting above the nests
until they are finished, when they at
tack the martins and drive them off,
according to the season of the year
Finally, if they separate from each
other and occupy no fixed position, it
is safe to predict that the weather will
be changeable''

former letters I related how, after
many years, an old lady in Washing
ton, Protestant, had kept the rosary
given her by a young man whom she
had promised to marry, but who had
died prematurely. When the lady was
about to pass away she sent for a
priest and received instruction. The
last sacraments were administered, and
she said: II felt that if 1 wished to be
in eternity with the lover of my youth
I must have the same faith and
through that rosary she finally received
the grace of God to die well.
