The truth about the practice of
polygamy among the Mormons, which
appears to be in dispute among some
of our correspondents, is presumably
contained in the following passage
from letter in which Mrs. J. K.
Lawson, who is sending her Impress
sions Of America" to the Dundee Ad-
vertiser, describes a visit to Salt Lake
City. A person with whom the lady
discussed this subject, said:
1t is practiced just as it was before
the law forbidding it was passed.
Only it is now shebeened instead of
open. I'll tell you how it is. A man
may not have more than one wife in
his house, but he can have anothe
wife in another house-the next door
and over the way, and so on. A
friend Of mine who wished to see a
Mormon on business was directed to
house in the suburbs-one of five
adjoining each other.
Does Mr.. So-and-so live in this
house?" he inquired of a little boy
on the doorstep.
''He lives in all of EN-" was the
astounding answer.-London Daily

he said he never went through that

Of the case of the Celt who, on trial
for petty larceny and having no money

vices of an inexperienced lawyer by
the bench. The lawyer made a very
bad bungle Of the affair, and handled
the points in his clients favor so
clumsily that the jury had nothing to
do but find verdict of guilty, where
upon the prisoner cried out that he

HOW TO STOP BETTING,
Practical Solution Offered by the
Century Magazine.

Practical Solution Offered by the
Century Magazine.
How was dueling stopped? Only
by the evolution of code of public
sentiment which made it a misde-
meanOr to insult ones fellows by word
or deed, and removed the one ground
upon which the men of honor had rea-
son to defend the duel. How shall
indiscriminate betting be stopped? If
our parallel holds good, by the same
means. We have done away with hab-
its OF direct insult, let us do away also
with that indirect mode of insult
which arises from the habit of glori-
fication of ones self at the expense
OF the earth in general We have
learned to despise swagger when it
is intended to give offense to an in
dividual. Let us carry our ethics
farther, and despise it altogether.
Many of us already do this in theory;
let us have our condemnation felt in
practice. If we have once reached
the point of making it a part of our
social code that bluff and brag and
loud talk Of every kind are unworthy
OF gentlemen, the only present justi-
f1cation for betting will fall to the
ground. The rest may be left to take
care OF itself.-Century Magazine.

The Perpetual Failure.

If you lack character, downright,
genuine honesty and squareness, your
college education, your superior adj
vantages only emphasize or extenuate
your real failure, for no man has ever
succeeded, no matter how many MIL
lions of dollars he may have accumu-
lated, who has lost his character in the
process. If he has left his manhood
behind him, if his integrity has es-
capped in his long-headed methods, his
shrewd, sharp dealings, in his under
handed schemes, his life is failure.
1t does not matter what position he
has reached or how much money he
has made. He is miserable failure
If he has lost the pearl of his life
Success.

Flowers.

I will not have the mad Clytie
Whose head is turned by the sun;
The tulip is courtly queen,
Whom, therefore, / will shun:
The cowslip is country wench,
The violet>is a nun;
But will WOO the dainty rose,
The queen Of every one.
The pea is but a wanton witch,
In too much haste to wed,
And clasps her rings on every hand:
The Wolfsbane I should dread
Nor will dreary rosemarye,
That always mourns the dead;
But will WOO the dainty rose,
With her cheeks of tender red.
The lily is all in white like saint.
And so Is no mate for me-
And the daisy's cheek is tipp'd with
blush.
She is of such low degree;
Jasmine Is sweet, and has many loves
And the broolu's betrothed to the bee
But / will plight with the dainty rose,
For fairest Of all is she.

forest where the bear had taken refuge.
and on the third day after the child
was carried off they closed in on the

her by the bear. One almost regrets to

THE REAL THING!

There are only 400 real iron pots
That feat in the stream of style,
And some of these pots,
They are pretty tough lots,
Though they float with a satisfied smile.
And woe to the pot that is made out Of
clay,
Who dares to join in with the throng,
If the book that is blue
Doesn't recognize you,
You will foat-I don't thnk-very long.
In fact, don't think the old saints, if
they could,
Would care to mix up with these pots.
Brass, China and Deli,
On the old kitchen shelf,
Have happier time of it-lots.
And the 400 pots, in the social swim,
Many thanks to paint, powder and pride,
May look like dream,
AS they float down the stream,
But they're horribly battered, inside.

Nicholson sat on the log and pom

come to him. AS the girl passed she
said, 'Howdy, Mister" There was
strong grain of philanthropy in
Nicholson and the chance to work
out long cherished plan was at
hand. All his life he had heard of
the narrowness and ignorance and
poverty of these shut-ins among
whom he was thrown AS seen they
had not appealed to him, but there
were possibilities in this beautiful
child.
So enthused was he with his prof.

gram that would bring beauty into
the forest child's life that he looked
up to find the object of his thoughts
approaching.
She was. riding slowly and as she
neared Nicholson her horse swerved,
a rabbit scuttled from the fern bed.
Nicholson sprang to his feet and
seized the bride.

forest was in sympathy with Nichol-
son and had thrown this chance at
him.
