WHERE NEWs Is SLOW.

W. THINK NEWS TRAVELS very
" rapidly in these days Of telegraph.
cable. Marconigraph and telephone
and so it does, but it would be hard
to convince an old Persian Of the fact.
Some time ago an earthquake destroyed
much property and life in town about
twelve mil from the place in which
this Persian dwells Some Englishmen
who were travelling through Persia
heard OF the affair and cabled an &C
count of it to the London papers.
In London the disaster was thought
of sufficient Importance to be cabled 90
the United States. A son of the old
Persian who lives i'm city in one OF
the central states. read the report.
knowing his-father was able 90 read
English. and believing he would be in
terested in knowing what the papers
i'm the United States were printing, he
sent the story to the old man. 1t took
something like thirty-six days for the
paper to reach it's destination.
About a month later the son heard
from his father. thanking him for his
interest and saying the paper gave him
his first news Of the earthquake How
ever. with that as n basis he verified
the report. When we remember that
the old man lived just twelve miles
from the scene Of tho disaster. the
story is very remarkable, indeed. 1t is
as if Salt Lake should be destroyed and
q man living i'm Murray should get his
first news of the fact through a paper
published in Shanghai
Such a thing would. Of course, bt
impossible in this country. There IS
entirely too much communication be-
/ tween cities and towns and villages
and settlements. The smallest village
/ in Utah could not sustain a disaster
without the fact becoming known to it,
/ nearest neighbOrs almost Immediately
and to the whole country within fe7
/ hours. This because of the telegraph
and the telephone system which maxi
/ the United States practically one grea
community.
/ The minute one or both of these sys
! TENS is interrupted or broken. the mo
ment people in one community canno
raise" the people in another mel
start out to find the reason why. An
{ they keep going until they do find il
/ and then they begin working to re
pair the damage. In Persia where tel
/ ephones are almost unknown and tn
, telegraph lines, especially in the inter
Tor. have hardly been introduced, it
not hard to understand why new
travels very slowly.

An Expert on Education.

A young woman teacher Of Salt Lake
recently heard there was a vacancy IN
the schools Of a certain outlying dis
trict and wrote to the secretary Of the
board of trustees of the district asking
for information. After hearing from
him she decided not to apply for po-
sitiOn. His letter was something like
this: "Our school Supt give US your
letter of aug Will Say that wee

Dear Sir-The glasses you made for
me about 10 months since have done all
for me you promised they would do.
had used glasses made by other eye
specialists that turned out poor and in
fact had almost become blind In my left
eye and at times / could not see 10 do
my work. and / would often pass my
friends on the street without knowing
them. my eyesight had become so poor.
but since you made me a pair my sight
has become very good. and / am neither
troubled with terrible headaches and my
temples used 10 pain me terribly and
Jump mt 10 burst. and tears would run
down by face. but / thank you because
since / have been using your glasses
i have not had an ache or pain I'm either
my head or eyes in over ~ months. and
1 can see better now than l could 20
years since. / can assure you that sew
erai or my friends have got glasses from
you on my recommendation and they say
that they have got the same benefit from
them as / had told them had got from
my glasses.
Yours respectfully.
