Colonel Opie Read. novelist and play

What caused the fight?'
There wasn't no fight. Zeke never
give the other fellers a show. Guess
he was right. too. cause the RambOs
did not give Zekes father an brother
any chance. Just hid behind a tree
and fired at 'em as they came along

ANECDOTES OF BARNUM.
Always Alive to the Value of Novel
Advertising.

1t may be said of P. r. Barnum that
he was the major domo or lord of
laughter and fun, the protean dis
penser Of amusement. How we'll he
became known through this function
one curious incident eertifies Some
years before he died an obscure person.
in some remote part of Asia wrote a
letter which he dropped in the post
office near him, directed to Mr.. Bar
mum, America" The letter reached its
destination without an hours delay.
The great Snowman unaffectedly en-
joyed being known from the very be-
ginning Of his celebrity; and when he
found his celebrity was a tremendous
factor in his success he did everything
that he could think of to extend the
exploitation of his name. This was
not 10 nOurish vain imaginings or be-
cause he felt exalted; it was to pro-
mote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Corn. ne was fond of put
ting something that suggested a show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred cow
or an elephant were frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in blowing on the sloping hill
where il could plainly be seen by the
passengers on the New Haven & Hart
ford railroad-an agricultural innova-
ton that he knew would get notice of
some sort In every newspaper in the
country. 1t was even said that he re-
celved letters from farmers far and
VIDE asking how much hay one ell
ephant ate. and If it was more profit
able TO pillow with an elephant than
with horses or oxen. His replies were
invariably frank. and were of this pur-
port:
If you have large museum in New
york and great railroad sends trains
full of passengers within eyeshot of the
performances 1t will pay. and pay well:
but II you have no such institution
then horses or oxen viii prove more
| economical"

The Herald hardly knows how 20 place
Judge Fishback. but. IN order that he
NAV have some official status, he
should. perhaps. be designated as the
man who hopes 20 be the nth senator

as he is a law partner Of Senator Clark
of Wyoming, Utah's third senator
or fourth as YOU care TO place him.
AT Pennington Monday night Judge
Fishback made his first speech in this
campaign. The most noteworthy thing
he said was: Il do not know what you
think about ]. Pierpont Morgan. but

YOU, Judge Fishback? We had an idea
that the daisy was a modest flower,
one of those tlmid blossoms that hides

Morgans in this country we can let
them do the scheming that viii gain

isn't il? A little thing like controlling
the Morgans seems just as easy 10
Judge Fishback as roping a steer does

The trouble is that much ADLER men
than Judge Fishback have not been
able TO control the Morgans. and the
longer the Republicans are continued

THE BUSY ANDERSON.

THAT BUSY LITTLE MAN, County
4 Commissioner James Il. Anderson,
who seems destined TO go down to pos
terity under the apt pseudonym OF
PUSSY Jimmy" has bsen out In the
far-away precincts Of Salt Lake county
explaining 10 the farmers how the Re
publican county commissioners reduced
the tax rate. II will be remembered
that The platform adopted by the Re
publican county convention commend
ell the commissioners for this alleged
performance.
Now isn't II rather singular that the
busy little Anderson has not attempted
20 defend that platform in salt Lake
Cityg Isn't il Il strange that 40 Re
publican orator has defended il here?
Why IS q that they wait until they get
beyond the precincts where. newspapers
nre read every day in numbers and
where Il Is possible for the voters, with
out special effort. 10 keep posted on
county affairs? Is it because Anderson
and mis- cO-laborers hope 10 deceive
somebody
Certainly that is a reasonable infer
ence AS a matter Of fact. this busy
Anderson. who has been carrying on his
puny shoulders for nearly two years
all the weight of Salt Lake county
ana who Is going TO be relieved of that
burden on Jan. 1. did not reduce the
burden OF taxation by the smallest
fraction OF a mill, as compared with
the last year Of the Democratic admin
lstratiOn. We freely admit that the
levy for 1902 is lower by a half mill
than IL was In 1901, the first year the
Republican commissioners were in Of
flee But that was because they raised
the rate that year TO pay of an indebt-
edness contracted by former Repub-
lean administration.
1t must be remembered. too. that the
Anderson Observation-Disclosures the busy
little Anderson has been practically all
OF the administration, at least In his
own acknowledgements the valua-
ton OF salt Lake county property so
that with the same rate Of taxation as
I'm 1900 the revenue for 1902 win be in
creased by more than $4,000 as COM
pared with the year first named. So
the taxpayers are just that much worse
OF than they were In 1900.
Mr. Anderson has been talking a good
deal, toe, about the increased wages for
the We. kingmen employed by the coun-
~ That is truly pralseworthy
achievement when all the facts are
known. The ''wOrklngmeR" whose
wages were raised are the road super
visor. every one of whom is an active
Republican worker. There are thirty
two supervisors and they receive 81 per
day now where they were paid $1.75 a
few years ago. AS these men work on
ar average not more than twenty days
per month. q is easy to figure that the
boosted increase amounts 10 just 81 500
a year at the highest possible estimate
Is IL any wonder Mr.. Anderson
Doesn't hire a hall in salt Lake City
for the purpose OF defending his admin
lstratlon? All the Republican lawyers
IN Salt Lake couldn't successfully de-
fend il In the court OF public opinion.

One Use of Assafoetida.

An old colored cook. OF French train

TRICKS OF CHINESE SERVANTS.
Signals of the Discharged to Warn
Their Successors.
(The Straits Budget,

tine straits Budgel.)
II is not an uncommon thing to hear
people in the east say that they are
still in want of a Chinese cook, while
others will have numbers OF applica-
tions directly il is known that their
cook has left. The reason for this is
easily discovered if the master of the
house walks down to the kitchen after
his cook has been discharged and
takes notice how a saucepan, which
will be found standing on the ground,
is placed. Chinese servants. particu-
larly those from Singapore, when dis
charged. leave signs which the new
conner looks for Immediately he enters
the kitchen. II the place is consid-
cred a good one, saucepan viii be
left on the ground with the lid put on
properly. II the lid is placed in the
saucepan upside down, that is to say,
with the handle of the lid inside the
saucepan, IL means that the servant
has gone away for a short time only
and that as soon as he can he intends
to return, as the situation is considered
a good one. If the lid of the saucepan
is left out on the ground, near the
saucepan. which is standing the right
way up, it means the house is in want
of servants. If the lid is put half way
IN and half out OF the saucepan, II
means that the place is a good one,
but the master of the house is stingy.
Should the saucepan have still some
rice in it and the lid closed properly,
it means that the servant is quite sat-
isfied with everything concerning the
people Of the house, but that he is
forced to leave on account of debts or
other reasons which inconvenience him.
II the master is in the habit of cut
ting the servants pay for broken or
lost articles. or for other faults,
mark is made on the bottom of the
saucepan in chalk which will not rub
out easily. The Chinese boy makes his
mark behind the pantry or bedroom
door. and the water man on the bottom
Of his tubs. The Hylam Chinese are
said TO have adopted these signs from
the Macao Chinese, who in the first
case got the idea from the Tamils.
