X. of III. Makes Good Showino,

Mr.. Charles Bolts insurance Of
- COO has been paid by the Knights
of Honor, and when we glance at the
record we find that the cost to him
has been very light. He joined the
Knights of Honor June 81, 1873, and
died August 29th, 1902. He had
during that period, paid into the
order on two thousand dollars insur-
ance $500. 81 years and two months,
or an average Of $50 per year per
thousand. This is pretty good
showing when we remember that Mr..
Bolt was an elderly man when he
joined and could not have got any
such rate in an old line company.
The Knights Of Honor is now on the
step rate plan, which we conceive to
be the only true plan for fraternal
insurance. New members are Join
ing in Union.

Big Show in Spartanbure.

The famous Adam Forpargh AMI the

combined this year AMI they will pitch
their mammoth tents at Spartauburg on

TO ADMIT WYOMING STOCK.
Bill Is introduced Providing For
Opening the Reserve to All.

a
Washington, May C,-Senator Clark
Of Wyoming has introduced a bill pro-
viding that no preference shall be Civ
en- by the department of the interior in
the issuance Of permits for grazing
privileges TO the fiOcks or herds Of one
state over those Of another, nor shall
authority direct or indirect be given
any person not in the service Of the
United States nor to any association or
corporation to pass upon or to grant
a permit to Craze sheep or other live
stock on forest reservations.
Amendments Of the same import 70
this bill were proposed by Senator
Clark to the sundry civil bills, but were
ruled out on a point of order made by
Senator Allison, who held it not ger
name to the appropriation bill. Sen
atOr Clark's bin is designed especially
to adjust the differences existing be-
tween Utah and Wyoming sheepmen
relative to the grazing privileges on
the Uintah forest reserve.
This reserve lies close to the Wyo-
ming line, but entirely in Utah. Sheep
of Utah stOcknen Craze in Wyoming
in winter and return TO the Uintah re-
serve in summer.
The interior department has placed
the control of the grazing privileges on
the Uintah reserve in the hands Of the
Utah Livestock association, which re-
fuses to allow to the Wyoming stock
grazing privileges. Serious controver-
sizes have been the result, threatening
to end in bloOdshed.

Bret Harte's Grave to be in Foreign
Land.

Bret Harte's Grave to be in Foreign
Land
London. May 6.-Bret Harte will be
buried Thursday at Frimley, in Sur
rey.
Deep sorrow at his loss, and admira-
ton for his work are expressed in the
lengthy obituary notices. the sketches
of his life, and the editorial articles on
his death which are published in the
London papers this morning.
Not since Stevenson passed away"
says the Post, has there been such an
other bereavement. In losing Bret
Harte the English-speaking world lost
a sweet and charming writer, and his
friends a kindly and gracious COM
r8de.r
Regarding Bret Harte's place in the
literary world he is variously compared
to Dickens, Stevenson and Kipling, and
by the London papers he is accepted,
with all his limitations, as the prince
of short story writers, who opened a
new world to English readers.
The following extract from the edi-
torial published in the Chronicle fairly
reflects the critical view of Bret Harte:
The Luck of Roaring Carp; The
Outcasts of Poker Flat and The
Heather Chinee. constitute the slender
baggage with which Bret Harte under
takes his journey TO posterity; but it
is sufficient"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-05-07

Then looked up at Nye,
And he gaZed upon me,
And he rose with q sigh
And said, Can this be-
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heather Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
I did not take a hand.
But the floor ii was streWed
Like The leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been
hiding,
In the game "he did not understand"
In his sleeves, which were long.
He had twenty-fOur jacks
Which was coming il strong,
Yet I state but the facts.
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
VIII is frequent in tapers-that's wax.
Which is why remark.
And my language is plain.
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain
The heather Chinee is peculiar.
Which the same I am free 10 maintain.
In 1870 Mr. Harte was appointed pro-
fess0r Of recent literature in the Uni
verslty Of California, but he resigned
in the following spring, and retiring
from his editorial position. settled in
New York Later he attempted 70

which proved a failure and he devoted

1873. and transferred to Glasgow, Scot
