In Our Elementary Schools.

A school teacher once said to her
class in mental arithmetic: Now, boys,
1 have a few questions in fractions to
ask. Suppose 1 have a piece of beef
steak and I cut it into two pieces.
what would those pieces be called?"
''Halves!" shouted the class.
Right. And if 1 cut each half into
two pieces?"
Quarters"
THAT is correct. And if the quar-
ters were each cut in half?"
"Eighthsl"
YES. And if those were chopped in
two?"
"Sixteenths!"
Very good. And when the siXteenths
were cut in half, what would they be?'
The answers had been growing fewer
and fewer. but one boy meditated a
moment and answered:
''Thirty-seconds!"
Very good, said the teacher And
now we will chop those thirty-seconds
in half. Can any boy tell me what we
shall have them"
There was a silence in the class, but
presently a little boy at the foot put
up his hand.
Wen, Johnny, what shall we have
them"
please. num-" chirped Johnny, con-
idently. 1--WE shall have hash; I've
seen it done" And he went stralghl
up to the head of the class.

And when the Pacific railroads were to

These four men were c. P. Huntington,
Leland Stanford, Charles Croker and

the others, or rather the first was the
confinement of the last three, and they

the muscle of that immortal conception.
Huntington was Athos, Aramis and

1t was discovered that these three men
made money out of the enterprise. There
was investigation after investigation, and
it fell TO the lot of Morgan to cross-eN-
anime Huntington. Morgan undertook TO
ascertain how much the Central Pacific
and the Union Pacific had cost. Hunt
ington was determined that Morgan
should never obtain that information. The
cross-exam ination covered a period of
weeks. 1t was during that battle royal
between them that Huntington said he

Morgan's name will be there, too, and
above even Huntington's.

CIGARS FOR ROYALTY.
Huge Favorites Manufactured For
King of England.


Cigar and Tobacco Journal)
Two crowned heads of Europe have
their cigars made expressly for them
by. the largest factory in Havana.
King Edward and Emperor William
are the sovereigns to whom money is
no object in comparison with good
smoke.
The English king favors a long and
fat cigar. The actual length of his
cigar is eight and seven-eighths inches
and one and quarter inches in diam
eter at the thickest part. The kaiser
prefers a much smaller cigar, one
measuring six and three quarter inches
in length by thirteen sixteenths of an
inch in diameter.
These cigars are not on sale to the
general public. They are made up in
lots of 900. which is the regulation or
der received from the royal customers
of the Cuban factory. Nevertheless a
few of these prize Havanas are kept on
hand for sale to travellers as souvenirs.
and in this way many connoisseur is
able on special occasions to enjoy a
royal smoke
As might be supposed, the cigars are
made from the choicest selected leaves,
and by the best workmen in the fac
tory. The men who roll the cigar for
King Edward receive % cents for each
cigar they finish. These cigars are
worth 81 each in Havana. and if Of
fered for sale in New York with the
duty paid each would cost $3.50. 1t is
only a few weeks ago that the secre-
tary of the king of England sent the
factory a draft for about 92O0, with
an order for 1000 cigars. The cigars
made for Emperor William cost rs cents
each in Havana and in New York they
would be worth IS cents each at whole
sale.
These cigars are not put up in boxes
like ordinary weeds" but are shelved
in punches of ten or fifteen in beautiful
cabinets built to accommodate the en-
tire number ordered

AN ITEM OF INTEREST TO SALT
LAKE TRAVELLERS.

All trains of the Oregon Short Line
out of Salt Lake City start directly
from this city, and are consequently
always on time. You can depend upon
them to the minute.
This feature is the most satisfying
one in railway travel. and, in part, ac-
counts for the well deserved popularity
of the Short Lines local passenger SER

so VERY QUEER.

T think it is SO very queer
That when we little children here
Are fast asleeD-each curly head
Tucked snugly in his downY bed
some children living far away
Are up and out of doors at play.
And then my teacher says the sun,
When an his shining here is done,
Goes down TO China and Japan
To shine as brightly as he can.
So when 7 lie down to my rest
The little Japs are being dressed.
And when at morn my prayers are said
The Chinese girls are going 10 bed
But oh, it seems to me so queer
They do not do as We do here.

LETTERS AND ANSWERS.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. l..
Dear Aunt Busy: Your lecture to
as boys in the Intermountain Catholic
was read with pleasure and a little
pain. We are not hurt at your little
talks, as we know you intend them
Tor our good. Now, please excuse US
and we shall try to do better in future.
BE sure we love you dearly even if we
do occasionally annoy you. But that
is the way with boys. They seem TO
take pleasure in annoying those
whom they love. You say it serves US
right 10 lose Father Cushnahan. Aunt
Busy, we viii not forgive you if you
say that again. We could not get along
without Father Cushnahan. To whom
could We tell all our joys and sorrows,
and who would take such an interest in
them as he does? Why. we would die
without our beloved pastor and we
know our holy father win not take him
away from us. Beside. ] don't think
ii would be fair to take Father Cush-
nahan away from ogden now after all
he has endured in trying to finish our
beautiful church. While we would love

still we will not let him go. I wonder
what Nellie and Robby Dorsey win
think OF this? l wish they would write.

THE OCTO2OON
Oberle Stock Company's Third Bill Is
 a Winner.

The Oberle Stock corpany last night Drcserted "The Octoroon" to a large and enthusiastic audience. and in doing so added new laureis to it's rapidly spreading fame as an aggregation Of real artists. The piece is not a new one by any means, and it has been pre- se1ted in Phoenix before. but never as seen at last nights performance. It is Intensely interesting and comprises a great variety of characters. thereby avoiding any approach to the monoto- nous. The special scenery provided for this play is of itself an interesting feature Tn this cast Walter Belasco as Pete, Too Ole to Work Sah" for the first time appears in an important role, and that he scored a magnificent sue cess was testified to by loud and ire quent applause. His makeup and his dialect completed the picture Of tho character he assumed so perfectly in his attitude and gestures.
 In this piece Miss Virginia Cranna appears as Paul little yellow boy. The necessarily pathetic nature of the part is in great contrast 'to her work in previous casts. but she did admirably and received well merited recognition.

A STRUGGLE AGAINST FATE
By the Young Mems Democratic Clubs
 Advertising Bureau.

The Young Mems Democratic Club. of which little has been heard since the late disastrous democratic primaries, will held open house tonight Not only members of the club are expected to be present, but democrats of all shades of opinion, and even republicans are invited to partake or the hospitality which will be extended. This event has been given the widest publicity possi- ble. It was desired by the management that all the papers hould mention it. and in order to reach those persons who do not read the papers. the club prepared to have a lot of hand bills celebrated. There is large class of individuals who never read hand bills, and in order to bring the meeting be- fore their eyes, President Zander or dered a lot of mimeographic copies of the notice.
 He took a copy to a mimeographer. He laid it down on a desk and waited for the product. It was stated in the copy that there would be orators at the meeting such as only the demo- cratic party could produce" and that there would be refreshments such as only democrats could enjoy" While he was waiting for the mimeographer to get his machinery in order he for got about his copy and a bystander amended it by inserting in parenthesis after the word refreshments" the words beer and pretzels."
 The amendment was not discovered until after several copies had come off the mimeograph, and even then it was difficult to make any correction. as everyone knows who knows anything about mimeOgraphs. It was decided at a meeting Of the club that in the pres ent heated state of the temperance clement on the subject of beer and pretzels, it would never do to let that public announcement Cf d beer fest Co be made. It was then too late to have any more mirneographic copies made.
 Another copy was taken to a job printing establishment and yesterday afternoon Secretary Arthur Of the club went after the job work. He wanted to get the announcement into circu- lation as early as possible, for too much time had been lost already. He looked over one of the printed copies hurriedly for typographical errors, when his eye was Tudely arrested by the words. beer and pretzes." One of the mimeograph copies had been used for the job work copy" It ap- peared as if the meeting of the club for sober deliberation was to be con verte1 into a German carousal in spite of anything the management could do.
 Another lot of job work was ordered and the members of the club were de- tailed to stand around and watch the compositcr tc the end that the "beer

There was little backache, the princi- pal symptoms being too frequent action of the kidney secretions, especially ob- servable at night.

 of his versatility. and his accurate con ception of the gentlemen who are said to possess q novel feature from an anatomical point of view, in that a stripe oi cerulean hue circles their bodies beneath the waistcoat.
 Wah-po- tee, the big chief of the Le- pan tribe, was of course Tom Oberle who shines in anything heroic. whether it be savage or civilized. As a big brave with a scalping knife and hatch ct there was more to him than red paint. He knew how to use talk words and when necessary be as dignified as Caesar.
 Miss Lowell played the part of the Ootcroon and was a delight in the character. realizing fully what was ex- pected of her. and as in her previous work knowing just how to go about it.
 The other characters were all well taken and were too numerous for de- tailed mention, the cast being a larger one than the previous plays. The com pany is making a magnificent success SO far. and with each new performance confidence increases that they are peo- pie who can handle any thing that comes along in the dramatic line They are receiving liberal patronage and are appreciative, but they need it all to maintain a company of such rare eX- cellence in 9 field limited to the south west. The people down Tucson. No- gales and Bisbee way may look for ward to something they have never seen before in their own bailiwicks. There will be a matinee performance of "The Lost Paradise" this afternoon and tonight The Octoroon will be pre- seEted again.

THE PEOPLES CANDIDATE,
Elkin's Candidacy Growing in Favor

From Chambersburg Public Opinion.
All reasonable persons who have watched the
campaign OF the Honorable John p. Elkin for
the nomination for governor OF Pennsylvan a
must be impressed with the manlincss of it.
Long before any of the primaries were held he
announced himself rs a candidate, thus opening
ing mp a fair field Tor fair race. The result is
that in almost every county where the primaries
have been held either delegates have been select.
cd who are surely Elkin men or the ones chosen
have been instructed for linn.
An instance oi the fairness of his contest was
given in Blair county where Colonel Watrss
failed TO have his papers filed in time to get
lis name upon tie ballot. Not wishing to take
an advantage Mr.. Elkin waived the rule and
permitted his opponents name to go on the
ticket This desire to be fair is all the more
noticeable in view OF The fact that it is pretty
well established that Colonel Watres' managers
pirpoSely delayed until too late in order 10
make the howl that Mr.. Elhn had taken an
unfair advantage, If Mr. Elkin had held To the
strict letter of the rule in Blair county the mon
grcl press OF the state would have published
hhoadclst that he had indulced in sharp practice
at the expense OF his opponent. Fortunately
Mr.. Elkin's honesty and fairness forcstalled this
scheme.
The attorney general has practically won his
fight before the Republican voters of the state
lie has virtually secured his nomination. Shall
ii be wresled from him now? Shall he be turned
down at the behest OF Il few of his personal
encmic, in pltsburg and because of the business
dealings OF IL young man to whom the Republi.
can party owes absolutely nothing? 1t is for the
majority of the delegates to the state convention
to answer this question. II should be answered
by placing John =. Elkin at the head of the
ticket.
