SALT LAKES OPPORTUNITY

To the Editor of The Herald:
The wear 1902 promises to prove
banner year in advancing the growth
of this city. Coming events cast
their shadows before As evidence,
the business men of Salt Lake are now
united in organizing commercial
club that will afford ample facilities
for prosperity, presenting to investors
the numerous opportunities for proht-
able investment of capital, in develop
ing the resources of Salt Lake city
and the state of Utah.
II is not the intention of the writer
to enumerate our various undevelOped
resources. but to confine this letter to
the importance Of one possessed by
this city. that has been allowed up
tc the present time to remain almost
as nature made it, Reference is made
to the Warm Springs, owned by the
city. which have up to the present
been utilized in a crude and unbusi-
ness-like manner. If an individual
owned as valuable a property and had
made no better use of it than has Salt
Lake City he would most certainly be
rated very low as a man of affairs.
The taxpayer would not be likely TO
find fault with the administra ton Of
municipal affairs if they were con-
Quoted upon well established business
principles. If one of our successful
business men possessed the Warm
Springs ne would experience no trOu-
DE in negotiating a loan at a low
rate of interest of a sufficient amount
1 to enable him to make improvements
affording all modern conveniences that
would justify him in advertising TO
the world that the waters possessed

) mans dying rich that has been ex-
pressed by one of Americas noted citi-
zens. he could devote the evening OF
life 10 richly endowing institutions OF
t benevolence and learning that would
cause future generations to bless his
name
If our city fathers would strive tC
conduct municipal affairs upon SOUND
business principles and utilize thi:
valuable resource, as well as other,
possessed by the city. in way t,
tighten the burden of taxation and
make this city noted as a great SAM
taTium, avoiding questions of cree,
and factional contests, they win b.
able TO retire again to private lif,
with not only the approval of thei
own conscience, but also with that 0
an appreciative constituency.

TO REFORM MOURNING.

EKOM VARIOUS SECTIONS Of the
l country comes Ihe periodical plea
for reforms in mourning customs.
Few questions have received more
attention from so-calle6 reformers
and in few lines has the progress been
SO slight The reason for this is clear
enough. Il is just as impossible to
prescribe a fixed and rigid form Of
mortuarv ostenta ton or unostentatlon
as 1t is 10 make arbitrary rules ia
matters of dress.
4 great many women look Well IN
pink. a great many men appear to
excellent advantage in black. but 1t
would be absurd 10 expect all women
10 wear pink and all men TO clothe
themselves in garments of sombre hue
Mourning depends almost entirely on
the temperament Of the mo0rner. The
individual who makes the most hy5-
tericaI display of emotion over the
coffin of a friend or relative is mol
always the individual who is most
deeply grieved over the demise.
The woman who wears black long
est doesn't necessarily measure her
sorrow BY the length of her mourn
ing veil OF the time which elapses be
! fore she lays it aside. TO some peo-
ple outward evidences Of woe are as

emotions they may destroy their health

stituted that they cannot display their

In all human probability it never vii

Half dozen more men and women joined the man who held him. The hand on Jimmy's collar took so tight a grasp that it hurt him. Some of the rough men and women jostled him and some tried to trip him up. Jimmy was prosperous boy, and as ne saw tne gteeu ID ms Sap'9rs eyes ne slowed away under his overcoat was his handsome new gold watch. T must shout for help" thought Jimmy, "eyen if do swallow the water and lose my chance to wish.' Suddenly, while he still held on q moment longer, cry came from the end of the street.
 Jimmy's own age, rushing around the cor. ner. The boys face was wildly excited, and his red hair stood up in thick mop.
 Jimmy felt his captor's hold release itself, and with an answering cry he started in the direction from which the boy came with the other men and women at his heels.
 Finding himself thus suddenly at liberty Jimmy also began running around the block, when he found the red-haired boy following him.
 Say" said the red-haired boy. 'It wasn't so much of fight. just seen they had you and started 'em off,"
 Jimmy nodded warm "Thank you.''
 "You'se aint a-talkin'?' asked the red haired boy
 Jimmy shook his head "no." He felt that 1t was discourteous not to explain when the red-haired boy had saved him from his foes But after going through that adventure he was particularly anxious to reach the end of his journey without losing his chance to wish. He stood looking at the red-haired boy in perplexity until suddenly thought occurred to him. He beckoned mysteriously and pointed iii the direction of the Barclows' house.
 The red-haired boy looked at him in amazement. and Jimmy put out the hand which did not contain salt and began drag ging him by his ragged coat sleeve.
 Do you mean for me to go with your" questioned his rescuer. Jimmy hooded a violent yes"

ing Aunt Maria's injunctions to keep a watch on dem gals out of the tall ob you aiis eyes," but an observing discovery occupied their entire attention. Bonnie, in examin- ing the stalaelte, which was a crust of min eral accumulation brought by the water ana formed around root, found tiny gllttef- ing dust that might be gold. So minute were the particles and so small the quantity no full test could be made, but It was quite sufficient to serve as the foundations to the loftiest of air castles. Already they naa discovered a gold mine, the Colonel ana Mrs. Astor were restored 10 their former plantation home, and by the power Of enor- nous wealth the entire Astor family was regathered and reunited under its widened roof. Not altogether without personal van ity, neither Bonnie nor Betty was blind to the pleasure there would be in playing fairy godmother. They did this in the air castle, gracefully and graciously, like Cinderella having acquired instantly the necessary court manners.
 Saturday Bonnie hoped by further expIo- ration to build her castle on frmer founda- tions, but Saturday seemed far away.
 In the meantime the disturbance in the servants quarters grew. Tilda, the doubter. was stricken with sickness. Although the negroes stood respectfully by while the doe tor sent by Miss Astof came and prescribed for her no sooner was his back turned than Aunt Maria began.
 ssTiIda. dey ain no doctor's stuff giving do you any good. Dat gal what spit de fire am at the bottom ob dis trouble"
 '.Go long" returned Tilda. "It's jes' a misery in my stomac', cause l ct too much possum"
 Tt ain no misery cause ob 'possum; it's misery cause of hOOdoo'
 '.Dey ain no hoodoo an if dey is hoodoos, white gals ain hoodoos, an if white gals is hoodoos dey ain muffin like the power of prayer.' But Tilda grew no better.
 "Dare dey was," Aunt Maria repeated oc- casionally, as if to herself s.and dat gal was blowin' an spittin' fire straight out ob her mouf Tida." She added: T know two ole women up in the mountains dat has rrrf.W bod d. hoodoo folks"

looked at her out of the corners of his eyes, stuck his lips out farther, and nodded.
 Docs dey walk like our young ladies? Don dey walks like dey use dey legs mighty free? Is dey like any of our folks, quality CT poor white trash?'
 But, Ole Jacob. white folks ain hoo doos."
 Ain never seen nun, but when a gal blow fire straight out of her mouf, where you s'pose dat fire com from? I jes' giving keep out of de way of a pref dat come dat away"
 "Poufl'' replied Tida, you uns jest say you uns prayers and hoodoos can't hurt you"
 'Dem hoodoos mighty hahd to come up wid. an I mighty glad tain my place to make de bed an carry de water"
 '.'I jes ain giving near dat room" added Aunt Maria.
 Tilda was skeptical, but she took good care not to, come in too close contact with a breath that ''come dat away" She put the room In order while the girls were out. In the morning she sent the tiniest darkey on the place, his arms loaded with lightwood that 1t might blaze quickly to make the fire. So tiny was he that to the amusement of the girls he walked right into the fireplace and sat down among the ashes to do his work.
 "Dey ain no hoodoos dare, but if you jes get in the fireplace de hoodoos slip up the chimney" Tilda assured his mother.

bold Terence was seeking. When he found her she was sitting on the very edge of the Other End, eomblng her hair and planning all manner 0f evil. But Terence was in no wise afraid, and up to her he walks, and says he:
 "A fine morning it is, my lady"
 But just then the witch took a good look at him and saw who he was, and knew that he had come so far for no good to her. So fairly boiling with anger, she put on him the charm which should have changed him to a toad, but it never touched bold Ter ence.
 'whats this?" says she. "I just made toad of you"
 LAW, now, my lady, you'd not do thing like that to a poor ladT'
 You're a toad" says she, positively.
 I'm not, begging your pardon" he ans swered politely.
 There's something wrong" says the witch, puzzled like. "Wait minute And she up and put forth charm that changed the whole day to night all over the world, and then she called forth a horrible giant whom she commanded to throw Terence over the edge of the Other End. But as Terence could see as well In the dark as by day, and having In him the strength of two giants by virtue of the charms, 1t was he who threw the giant over the edge and not the other way round. (And that giant was never heard of again) Now so soon as this was done the darkness changed again to day, and the witch, Zut, knew that she had lost her power for evil, and she did willingly what Terence told her to, the which was to get the both of them back to the Castle oe Zum on the instant.
 And when they got there what should they find but the whole court in mourning for bold Terence, thinking that he must have perished. You see, the while Terence had fought with the giant had been for many days and nights. He had not known it. be- cause of his great strength which made him tireless. And so the King and the court had given him up for dead and gone. But when they saw him back safely, with the wicked witch Zut by his side, there was great rejoicing throughout the kingdom
 And now what would you have me do?a asked Zut sullenly, as they stood before the King.
 "Why, change yourself into a beautiful princess,' commanded Terence.
 That's hard said the witch, doubtfully.
 .You do as I tell your' And she did. though, as she had stated, It was hard in- deed
 "And now enchant yourself" says bold Terence.
 "Very well" answered the witch, though that's harder still. For how long shall enchant myself?"
 Terence looked to the King, and the King said:
 "Oh, make it forever. This business of having princesses disenchanted every once in a while makes me nervous
 So the witch who had made herself a beautiful princess enchanted herself forever, so that 1t might never be broken, and by the good Kings order she was at once put in the enchanted tower.
 'Whats that, boy? WhatI Why, the young rascals asleep already" said the Gossiping Goblin.

A Wise Dogs Trick.

On guard in beautiful park at Vichy Is a watchman whose special duty is to pre- vent dogs from running over the beds and destroying the costly flowers. He Is armed with a large club, which he hurls at any dog he sees, and generally with such skill that the animal goes off limping and howl+ ing.
 The other day young dog, of no particu- lar breed, but as bold as lion, determined to punish the watchman for his misdeedss and as a first step he went boldly into the mark and sauatted on a beautiful flower he'd. right under the nose of the watchman.
 In the twinkling of an eye the club was raised and down it came, but instead or hitting the dog 1t smashed rose tree laden with blossoms and, worse still, no sooner was 1t on the ground than the dog gripped if with his teeth and ran off with 1t at gallon. After him the watchman dasheds but only for few yards, since he Is some- what corpulent and not used to such violenr exercise.
 He procured new club the next oaV but he does not throw it unless he IS ap' solutely sure of his aim, and, as the dogs take good care not to get too near mug something like peace reigns once moie 'N the beautiful park.

 After class hours at night Bonnie worked diligently over her specimens-so diligently that one evening she failed to hear a knock at the door. Thinking that the young ladies must be out, Aunt Maria pushed the door open inst as Bonnie was blowing the testing stream of fire from the blowpipe. Aunt Maria shut the door with bang and has tened out to old Jacob, her husband.
 "Jacob," she creld, there Is certain queer don's goin' on. Dem Yankee gals dat ain no ways like young ladies nohow is curiser dan curis.
