measure that many farmers come to
the conclusion that it is cheaper to buy
his fruit than to grow It himself, but
he forgets these disappo ppointments are
brought forth by his own mistakes, be-
cause he was not informed how to.
grow fruit successfully.
When the tree agent visits the far.
mer he shows him his plat book and
from this he selects those fruits which
appear the best in the picture, without
knowing whether they are adapted to
his locality or not, or if they are the
varieties he wants for his purpose.
For instance the farmer wants to buy
strawberry plants and he sees a very
nice plate of the fruit in that book and
he orders his wants of that variety, but
unfortunately this variety is imperfect
in flower. The plants grow nice and
throw out many runners and the berry
patch blooms as white as q sheet the
second spring and the farmer is happy
and proud Of his purchase and the
whole family, enjoys the feast Of the
promised crop. The good housewife

FROM THE DEATH CHAIR.

The execution on one day Of the three
Van Wormer brothers In the state Of
New York. causes contemporary in
that city to review their past, and the
record should be instructive IN this time
of decline OF respect for law and law
ful authorities The awful end OF the
career Of these brothers Is but an Illus.
tratlon OF the dangerous roads children
take, when they become a law unto
themselves.
The three boys, It appears, had bad
reputation as long as neighbors re-
member them. For years they terror
lied the people OF Greendale by looting
their poultry houses taking their horses
to ride and drive. and firing fusIllades
Of revolver shots at anybody who de-
Tended his property against their raids,
II a farmer threatened to have the law
on them he was warned to refrain If he
did not want his barns to be burned
They were Vicious enough TO crack
safes, rifle tills and hold up travellers,
but they hardly came under the head of
professional criminals as the term Is
usually understood, until they killed
their uncle. who had befrended them
until he could do so no longer. They
were idle and bad but society did
not reject them, because they dressed
Well and entered into the gayetles Of
the young people as ightheartedly as
anyone. They commenced career in
ldleness and hoodlumlsm, and ended in
murder No doubt they commenced by
ldllng away their time on street corners,
as other loafers do. There, probably,
they learned to take their first
steps upon the road that led them to
the electric chair, If the people Of
Greendale had, when they first INDUCED
IN hoodlumism. taken them IN hand,
and, II no other means awaited, had
sent them to reformary, they might
have been saved a worse fate.
The crime Of these boys should be n
strong appeal to parents, throughout
the land in behalf OF their own chill
dren, to save them from the corruptlng
influences of the hoodlumism that is
rampant on the streets IN the evening,
and from the not less brutalizing power
OF the dime novel and the daily sem
satlonal record OF crime and criminals.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE,

"The latest conference IL the best
has become a common saying among
the Latter-day Saints. Certainly there
has been no gathering OF the kind that
was fraught with greater Interest, that
was better attended, that was blessed
with more of the spirit Of inspiration,
or that gave higher satisfaction than
the semi-annua Conference Of the
Church that closed on Tuesday evening.
II was. emphatically, grand occasion
and was thoroughly enjoyed by the
many thousands of people who were
present.
The intense interest exhibited was
sustained from the opening to the close.
The presence of the First Presidency
and ten of the Apostles, with other
general authorities. was fully apprecl-
ated. The dIscourses were varied, ami
mated ana impressive and at times
thrilling with the force and earnestness
of the speakers, The Instructions Of
the First Presidency were eminently
practical and timely, touching Oh live
questions OF moment to the whole
Church. The music was. as usual, most
excellent and the choral singing was
diversified by solos and duets that were
charmingly rendered.
The appointment Of Elder Francis NJ.
Lyman as President OF the Twelve
Apostles was anticipated. But that
OF Elder George a. Smith as one Of the
Twelve was somewhat OF a surprise,
as the matter had not leaked out, but
both We're emlnently satisfactory. An
other surprise was the appointment of
Elder IIcber j. Grant to preside over
the European mission, releasing Presl-
dent Lyman, but this also was received
as very fitting and suitable and I'm ac-
cordance with the mind and win of the
Lord There was not a dlssentlent vote
or expression during the entire Confer
ence.
The immense crowds that assembled
on Sunday We're an establishment to
strangers. The Tabernacle with gal
leries thrown open could not contain
the people in the morning and In the
afternoon both the Tabernacle and the
Assembly Hall overlooked, and n con-
gregation of at least 1000 was addressed
by selected speakers in the open air on
the Tabernacle grounds.
The influence OF this great gathering
will be carried to the remotest parts Of
the Church. Many Presidents OF mis-
slons were present as well as represen-
tatives from all the Stakes of Zion, and
the effect viii be to strengthen the faith
of thu Saints to increase their unity
and determination to live their rellg-
ion, and to give additional impetus to
the great latter-day work throughout
the world. 1t has been a grand and de-
llghtful occasion, uneXcelled in the his
tory Of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of
Latter-day Saints.

other necessarles OF life The United
States is In the worlds markets as a
producer, as well as consumer. and her
interests must be looked after In every
part OF the globe.
King Menellk Is an interesting per-
son. Whether he is a direct descend
ant OF King Solomon as claimed by
Abyssinian tradition, or not he GER
talnly can claim recognition as one OF
the remarkable rulers Of the world.
only a few years ago he drove the
flower OF the Italian army out OF the
country, and he has successfully de-
Tended himself against the lnyasions OF
three civilized nations. No country has
more remarkable record for bravery.
1t is country the friendship OF which
is worth while cultiyatng.
AS already intlmatcd, the Abyssinlan
rulers claim that they are lineal de-
scendants Of King Solomon and his
royal visitor, the Queen Of Sheba. The
Bible narrative OF this event does not
mention any marriage, but the Abyssi-
mans are said to be explicit on this
point, They say that she went to Jeru-
salem to ask counsel Of the famous son
Of David concerning some government
troubles that caused her much anxiety,
and that she became 80 impressed by
the learning wisdom and power Of Sol
omon that she placed her government
under his protection, accepted his re-
ligion, became his wife and gave him
son. The latter assembled the throne Of
the mother under the name Of Menelik
!, and II Is supposed his descendants
have reigned in unbroken succession.
Another tradition adds that the Ark OF
the Covenant with the original tablets
OF stone We're sent to Abyssnia, by the
Leyites, at the fall OF Jerusalem, and
that the king for the protection OF the
sacred relics, built tabernacle at Az
sum. The AbyssInians claim that the
ark is there still,
It Is quite possible that when that
country Is brought into closer contact
with the world, Archaeological treasures
OF great value may be found, both liter
airy and otherwise. That is one reason
why friendship should be cultivated, for
the interesting inhabitants of old
Ethiopia.

HOPE FOR INDIANS.

Those best acquainted with the prog
ress of the Indians take hopeful view
Of their future. Many Indians, It is
said have voluntarily given up the RAJ
tons allowed them by the government,
and declared themselves willing TO sup
port themselves by work They give
great satisfaction 20 their employers,
proving themselves superior to "coolie'
labor, in the construction Of railroads,
and similar work Consequently, the
future Of the Red Man is thought 20
be bright, Education and training are
commencing to show encouraging re-
suits.
This Is not astonishing, considering
the high civilization Of the remote am
oestors of the Indians, as proved by
the magnificent remnants stlll extant OF
their monumental buildings. There is,
clearly, no reason why the children
should not be brought to the same
level Of civilization as that which was
attained by their ancestors. nor why
they should not greatly surpass their
parents, If the progress continues. Man
will rapidly sink toward barbarlsm
when he neglects to struggle upward
and onward, lie win fall as a bird
with wounded wing But he can
again rise, when his efforts are re-
uewed The history OF the Indian Is
