Where History Repeats Itself.

Over in West Virginia on one of tho
railroads is little town called Saw
yer. Close to the town the train
passes through tunnel. One day a
nice green-looking young couple were
on the train, and they never seemed
to know that there was anybody else
on the train. Oblivious to their sur
roundings they were like two souls
with but single thought. While the
train was passing through the tunnel,
those near the young couple heard a
succession of suspicious smacks some
thing like kiss with dozen echoes.
After the train had passed through
the TUNED the brakeman came
through the car and called out "Saw-
yer," and the timid-looking young
man looked up and said: II don't
give durn if you did, we are mar

It was the next Sunday morning.
It had been busy week and, as it
happened, Daily had not seen Cousin
Kate since that Monday morning.
But as Daily walked up the aisle she
saw Kate already in her pew. Just in
front of them sat Mrs. Fiske. The
white hair shone like silver, and on
it rested the new bonnet in all it's
fresh and dainty loneliness. The old
face beneath it looked almost hand
some. She saw Daffy and nodded hap

A group OF girls came in directly
afterward. "Mrs. Fiske's got new

she was glad that in the hard week
before her, she had the thoughts OF
it to help her through, And as she
drank it in, her old heart swelled with
gratitude to the slender, dark-eyed
girl in the pew nearby who had
worked to bring it about.
''Dear Lord, bless her." she whis-
pered softly, ''and keep her, and be
good to her, for Jesus's sake
AS they walked home, Cousin Kate
took Daffy's arm. '"The bonnet is
beautiful DEAR" she said in her sweet,
grave voice. "Was not right? still
think the little girl who can contrive
such magic out of ten slender fingers
and send it out upon this trouble-filled
world to perform it's mission is every
bit as great and useful as the artist,
the painter, or the writer. I couldn't
help but look at Mrs. Fiske's face
through the sermon. It preached q
message too. I'm proud of you, Daffy
dear"
"Really?" said Daffy humbly.
"Really; and now that you have
found your talent, you won't hide it
in napkin, will you, dear?"
Daily laughed. "No fear of that"
she answered. "The manufacture of

RESTLESS NE1GHBoRs.
Those Who Are Ever ON the Move
for Information and Never
Think for Themselves,

How very much Of our time is lost
through the thoughtlessness of our
restless neighbors, who disturb us at
the most inopportune times.
Many garments remain unfinished
until we have lost all interest in
them, for the reason that we are in
terrupted so often and have to lay
our work aside. There are many
kind, well-meaning women, who do
a great amount of good deeds, yet
the evil they do Internationally more
than counterbalances them, says the
New York Ladies' World.
They are never contented to sit
down quietly at home to think and
plan for the comfort of their house,
hold, but consult with their imme-
date neighbors over their most
trivial affairs, and many late dinners
and other annoyances are brought
about through these over-the-fence
conferences.
They are bringing their children up
in the same restless manner; they
make poor grades in school and hold
the classes back, because their minds
are continually distracted by other
affairs.
When their discouraged teacher in
quires the reason they have not pre-
pared their lessons, their answer is
that they either had company, or
went out with their mamma to spend
the evening, and in all probab ility

children being disturbed, and their
time taken up in entertaining them.
Their parents depend entirely on
the teacher, and take no interest
whatever in their school work, and
when the children fail to pass a
creditable examination the teacher
must bear all the blame, when the
fault lies wholly with themselves.
They are never taught to have any
dignity nor repose of manner, nor
conversational ability, since their
sole idea of entertainment is to drag
all their possessions to the view of
their guests for inspection.
They do not belong to the lower or
vicious class, else we could better
AVOID Jnem; on the contrary, they
are to be found in the churches,
lodges and societies, where they con-
stitute the disturbing element, for
such people are usually aggressive,
and force themselves to the front in
everything.
They are never so happy as when
they are in some excitement, which
they crave continually. Yet they
imagine they are very popular. They
really mean well, and force their
favors on us in such friendly man
ner that we are practically helpless.
To incur their enmity puts US to the
disadvantage, as they repeat with an
injured, grieved tone, the many
benefits they have bestowed on us,
and enlarge on our apparent in
gratitude.

CITY WOOD CLEANERS.
Wreckage Of Buildings In
short Order.

One of the picturesque sights of
certain sections of the city is that
Of woman bearing bundles or bas-
kets of wood on their heads. Some
times the dimensions of the bundles
exceed the stature of their purveyors.
In that case it may be concluded that
the journey is toward home, where
the material will be worked up per-
haps, into kindlings. After certain
days it may appear again in the street,
carefully bestowed in a basket and
heaped high over the edges-two
sticks being run up from the inside of
the basket to support the pile-and
the whole balanced on the head of an
Italian woman, says the Chicago Trib-
une. The women who collect and ped
die wood-often helped by their chill
dren-are sometimes an annoyance to
wreckers, since it does not always
"come natural for them to limit
their pickings according to the pre-
scribed restrictions. They make short
shrift, however, of clearing away such
wreckage as is left to their mercies,
and when there is considerable Sind"
it vanishes before the assault of many
rival hands almost like mist. The car
riage of such heavy burdens on the per-
son is not an ideal method of transpor-
tation for this day and generation, but
the erect posture, bold step and free
movement of the wood peddlers as
they pace off under their towering
burdens is one of the most interesting
and artistic sights which the streets
afford, and the grace and strength of
the figure thus attained may well be
admired and coveted. The sight itself

Tattoo Marks.

Tattoo-marks on the human body
are deep-seated, as has been proved
by an investigation at Mount WASH
ington hospital, Baltimore. An indi-
vidual who died there, shortly before
his death willed his body to the sur
geons in the hospital for the benefit
of science. One of the surgeons, Gu
rious to learn the depth of tattooing,
experimental on the arm and found
that the design of what on the sur
face of the arm was coat of arms
was marked through the flesh as far
as the bone. There was also discov-
cred the trace of the figure on the
bone, but it did not penetrate the
bony structure.

QUALITY OF LIVE STOCK.

QUALIIY OF LIVE STUCK.
It was pleasurable surprise to
note the high quality of the stock. The
average of quality in cattle is higher
than the average of cattle in our State,
unless in the dairy classes. This opin.
ion is not reached rashly or without
ample opportunity for investigation.
I spent three long days in the show
ring at Winnipeg making the awards
in the beef classes. question if any
of our states, single handed, could
make such showing in cattle. It was
my privilege to make the awards at
several shows, and at all of them
were evidences that much attention is
given to the improvement of the stock
I noted carefully the character of the
herds that grazed along the railroad
and everywhere the high average OF
the quality of the stock was in evi.
dence.
REASONS FOR QUALITY IN STOCK
The quality of the grass il
good. Many of the settlers came
from Ontario, and had been schooled
as to the value of good stock before
going west. The railroads and the
Government have taken a deep in.
terest in making it less difficult and
costly to the farmers to secure good
males.

their residence should bear in mind

CALLED HER A "NlGGER."
Why Mrs. Mary Ann Lewis Wants
Divorce From Her Husband.

Robert Parker Lewis. a native Ha-
waiian. is alleged 10 have told his wife,
Mary Ann Lewis. also a Kanaka, that
she was nothing but a negress, and
that he wanted a white wife. So she
began suit in the district court yes
terday for divorce from the man who
told her such things.
They were married in Honolulu in
August 1897, and came to this city in
May, 1901 Both are natives of the
island. but have not been happy since
they arrived in America. Ever since
their arrival, the complaint alleges,
Lewis has shown his wife that he is
tired of her and has indicated such a
preference to white women that she
has decided TO quit him for good and
let him get a white wife.
When they reached this city, she
says, she had 1900, which she had
inherited, and part of IL she placed in
a bank. With the other part she pur-
chased a small home and has only
S655SO left on deposit. The fact that
the account is not as large as ii was
formerly is intimated as one cause
for the treatment she has recently re-
ceived at the hands Of her husband.
Aside from calling her a ''nigger"
and other such names. the complaint
alleges that he has assaulted and beat
her until she can no longer endure II.
She prays the court for the custody
of her three minor children, for COM
plete separation from the man and
also asks that a restraining order be
issued preventing him from drawing
any of the money from the bank or
from disposing of the home.

LAKE WAS TOO ROUGH.
Inspection Of the Pumping Plant
Had to Be Abandoned.

1919 HNNeASL Va NAAS = \ AttAAl
Had to Be Abandoned.
A heavy gale which swept down from
the north yesterday prevented the in
spection of the pumping plant at Utah
lake. which was planned by the mem
bers OF the city council. a number of
city officials, members of the board of
canal presidents, lake commissioners
and the Commercial club. In the
party which left yesterday morning TO
make the inspection were City En-
gineer Kelsey and several members of
the subcommittee Of the Commercial
club under Colonel Holmes and all the
city council. with the exception of
Thomas, Daveler and Black.
The purpose of the visit Of the Of
ficials was primarily, 1t is said, for the
purpose of inspecting the plant and as
certaining if sufficient quantities OF
water could be sent into the river in
order to supply the demands of the
farmers of this county who are now
using the waters of Big Cottonwood.
The visitors went first TO the Jordan
river plant, then to Saratoga Springs
to examine the pumps of the Utah
Sugar company. The terrific wind
which swept over the lake and rolled
up huge waves, prevented a thorough
examination of the working of the
pumps and the inspection was aban-
dOned.
The party was entertained at dinner
by the manager of the Saratoga
springs. after which many of the Wis
itors made a trip to the sugar plant
at Lehi. They returned TO the city
last night.
