with English Customs.
The correct formalities to be OBJ
served in a church or temple Of an
alien creed has often puzzled the
Englishman abroad, who does not
desire to wound the suseeptibilities
Of the natives Of the country.
But seldom is he put in such a
quandary as one Of the attendants
Of King Lewanika during the course
Of divine service the other Sunday.
He was suddenly taken i'll in the
middle of the service, and had to
leave the building.
Ignorant of what might be the
properwaytoleaye the church during
service, and anxious not to offend the
feelings Of the worshipers, the poor
man, with a face expressive Of the in
ternal discomfort he was suffering,
electrified the congregation by crawl
ing down the aisle on all ours.-Lon-

HE D wooED HER.
Tit for Tat TIL Both Are Caught in
Cunid's Net.

CuplQs vet.
She was young and unsophisticat-
ed. Her face was fresh and pretty.
She had not been in New York long
enough to take on the expression Of
strained impatience that comes from
running for ferries and stepping
lively" on trolley cars. However,
like a six-moths-old infant, she was
beginning "to take notice." says the
New York Herald.
AT the same hour each morning
she crossed the river from a New
Jersey suburb on the way to the
office where she was employed as
stenegrapher. 1t CHANGED one day
that the man who sat next to her in
the ferry was reading his morning
paper. The headlines tempted her
and dared her eyes, so she read, an
conscious in her growing interest,
that she was uRpardonably rude.
In a few moments, to her cha
grin, the man turned about, gave her
a %bewildering glance, and handed
her the paper. Before she could
comprehend he had lifted his hat
and had disappeared from the cabin.
A great wave of color surged over
her face, but nobody noticed.
Fhe next morning on her way to
business she carried a novel. The
boat was crowded, SO she stood in
the forward cabin and read. 1t was
not very long before she was con-
scious of somebody very near her
looking over her shoulder at the
opened page.
She turned suddenly and confront
ed the man who had so humiliatsC
her the morning before. The rscog.
milton was mutual and a complete
surprise to both of them. With
quick resolve the girl calmly handed
the book to him as he had handedt thu
paper.
Of course, that was only the be
ginning of the end. He continues tt
take the same boat every morning
but she stays home and keeps house

A Summer Trip Unsurpassed on the
Continent.
The trip to Salt Lake City or to the
Pacific coast via that point over the
Denver & Rio Grande aud the Rio
Grande Western is the most beautiful
IN America. No European trip OF
equal length a compare with 1t in
grandeur Of scenery or wealth Of novel
interest. Then Salt Lake City itself is
a most quaint and picturesque place
and well worth the journey. Its Mormon
temple, tabernacle, tithing Office and
church Institutions; its hot sulphur
springs within the city limits; Its de-
lightful temperature, sunny climate
and its Great Salt Lake-deader and
denser than the Dead Sea IN Palestine
are but a few features OF Salt Lake
City's countless attractions. There are
parks, drives, canons and beautiful
outlying mountains and lake resorts.
Imagine, if you can, a bath in salt
water q mile above sea level and in

Some Facts Regarding Its Rapid To-
crease.
Appendicitis among Americans is GER
taiDly increasing and while this is prob
ably due to the excitement and worry OF
American business life, 1t is more often
directly traceable to constipation. APP
pendicitis is caused by e%xtraneous matter
entering the vermiform appendix and not
by the swallowing of seeds. If the diges-
tive organs are kept in perfect condition
80 that the food Is duly assimilated and
the bowels move gently, at least once a
day, appendicitis will never develop,
Don't take chances. Regular doses Of DR..
Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin before meals
will strengthen the organs OF digestion,
your appetite will be good, constipation
disappears and you feel better In every
way. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln does
not relax the bowels by irritation, but by
curing Indigestion, the cause of constipa-
ton. Leroy Farmer sells 1t In Soc and

THE CHANGE.

Last Friday the Independent came

are not strangers in our midst. The
senior member of the new firm is A
H. Blair, well4known tosall old eaders
of the WORLD and at present is regi. =
ter OF the U. S. land office. Mr.. Blair

in Wa-Keeeney and no one can say
aught against him. The junior mem-

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

The splendid success of the rural

vince thousands of farmers of this
country that the republican party
can be depended upon look after
their best interests. This is dis
tinctively republican measure For
years it struggled for existence
against democratic opposition, and
so long as the democratic party con-
trolled any branch of government
the system was starved into insig-
nificance. When, however, the re-
publican party got complete control
of the government the system was
immediately enlarged and since then
its growth has been phenomenal At
first only few rural routes were
established in a county, somewhat
as an experiment 1t proved so pop
ular. however, that demands began
to come in from every community
for the extension of this system In
order to test the advisability of ex-
tending the system so as to make
it universal, a county or two was
selected in each state in which rural
routes were extended to every part
of the county so as to give daily de-
livery of mail to every resident of
the county The success of this ex-
pertinent has been so marked that
there is little doubt but that in time
the system will be made universal
