Goodwin's Salt Lake Weekly predicts

Judge Goodwin's prediction was evil

grating and matchmaking that was per-
petrated by a few characterless wheips
in this State, and the major portion of
1t in Washoe County, two years ago.
The Journal is forced TO admit that the
greater portion of the dirty work was
performed by wretches who protested
to be Democrats and who pretended to
have their headquarters within the
Democratic lines, although they We're

a few thousand than in bribing this
little matchmaking crew to moEs their

FAST WALKING HORSES
Farmers Urged so to Break co,..
to Keep Up With the Timos

A few years ago the Indiana p.
awakened an interest in me in n
walking gait Of the horse ON the t,-
by showing how much mora w..
complished in a day with such . ~
L then resolved to break my farm ho.se'
to fast walking, and / have almos, s
prised myself at it. The a I Ala sI
was by working young horses with s.us
walking ones. In breaking and 10y
ing colts and in riding them I a..
urged them to fast walking. Than
already said l worked them by the -
OF fast walking horses till they %, ~
fast gait. / found this an ercei,sus
plan to fix a walking gait, for IL is meu
a habit than anything else.
To see what advantage in pract,.
this was at actual work I put ops -
my walking teams to cultivat;ns
corn, and a team that had not ha.
broken to the fast walk, / watched a.
results for many days, and found tbs.
my fast walkers did at least one. Thru
more cultivating than the ordinsr.
walking team. 1t was rather mo,,
than one-third than a less numberw
rows cultivated in the same field in -
o of the fast walkers.
| am satisfied that the fast. walkin,
gait can be secured with a little pains
in breaking colts and young horses
and in these times of higher wages and
scarce labor on the farm it will pay apv

the measly watermelons that come over
the mountains. The tomatoes are green

California fruit men paid some little at

Men Ordered to Leave Goldfield.

A dispatch from Goldfield dated
September IL says; A committee of six

Federation of Miners. yesterday gave Z.
B. Aker and Lewis w. Rope one hour
in which to leave camp. Aker and
Rope arrived here Saturday morning
from Cripple Greek with a view of pur-
chasing and developing mining prop

He wal proud to the tips of his hair.
His forefather landed with William
The Conqueror long. long age.
His people were very blue blooded.
But blue blood sometimes doesn't show.
Or at least may be lightly considered
BY the low born and common. you
know.
The great do not always have stature
To awe and impress and astound;
The blue blooded scion of barons
May neither be tall nor profound.
His proud parents christened him Clar-

A name that. II must be admitted.
Is mighty high sounding. but where
Men knew him they all called him
Shorty;
His cross was a hard one to bear.

Life.


On a bleak. bald hill with a dull world
under,
The dreary world Of the commonplace.
I have stood when the whole earth seemed
a blunder
OF dotard Time in an aimless race.
With worry about me and want before
me,
Yet deep in my soul was a rapture
That made me cry to the gray sky DER
"oh, I know this life Is a goodly thingi'
I have given sweet years to a thankless
duty
While cold and starving. though clothed
For a young hearts hunger for joy and
beauty
Is harder to bear than the need OF
bread.
I have watched the wane of a sodden sea-
Which let hope wither and made care
thrive,
And through it all. without earthly rea-
1 have thrilled with the glory of being
alive.
And now I stand by great seas of splen-
dor,
Where love and beauty feed heart and
eye;
The brilliant light of the sun grows tender
As It slants to the shore of the by and
by.
I count zach hour as a golden treasure.
A bea Time drops from a broken
string,
And all my ways are the ways of pleas
ure,
And I know this life is a goodly thing.
And I know. too, that not in the seeing
Or having or doing the things we would
Lies h deep rapture that comes from
being
At one with the purpose, which makes
all good.
And not from pleasure the heart may
borrow
That vast contentment for which we
strive
Unless through trouble and want and
sorrow
It has thrilled with the glory of being
alive.

Monroe City, Mo.

Dear Sir: Whether you own
your house or not, is no matter.
If not. your interest in it, as a
tenant, is quite enough to justi.
fly what we are going to say,
and a tenant can make his inter
est felt by the owner. You get
better boarders, and better
prices in a prosperous looking
house than a shabby one; and a
leading part of the difference
between the two is paint.
No doubt. your table is
known; 1t brings you boarders
and money. No doubt, your
house is clean; that brings you
boarders and money. No doubt
you maintain a certain manner
a among your boarders by choos-
ing them well; and that brings
you boarders and money.
Now add to all these a nice
looking house. outside and in,
and you have an additional
for &c upon people, who have no
homes of their own. It pays

ing you how TO paint; Devoe

war news cost several of the
American papers from $500

in an average metropolitan Pa

those papers $505 for a 1000

RIVAL CANDIDATES.

two impatient men. The big
umbering, round.faced man was
Colonel Joe Layson; the thin,
sallow one was Henry Clay Fin
ley. 1t was campaign time,
and the twain we're swinging
around the CIRCLE" Colonel Lay
son as the candidate of the
Outs for Governor and Fin
ley as the spellbiuder paid to
extol the merits of his party's
standard bearer.
The afternoon train was to
stop at Xerxes Junction and
take on passengers for Ardt MIA
was late, and the rough old col
Onel began to swear as be stud
fed his watch.
I'll be here in a minute,
Governor" said Finley, sooth
ingly. carefully observing the
custom of addressing candidates
by the title to which they
aspire.
A scrawny, bent-oyer old
woman, carrying an apronful of
wood, came out of the clump of
trees across the railroad track
and limped along until she
reached the platform where she
stopped and looked up into the
colonel's face with vacant-eyed
curiosity. Finley was shocked.
Such beastly Manners he
exclaimed. Shall ] order her
to be off, Governor"
Before the colonel could an
swer, the old woman clambered
upon the platform and limped
eagerly TO his side.
BE you the guvnor?" she
asked. ...
The colonel smiled big.
hearty smile, and answered:
-'That's whit they call me-
Won't you pardon my boyP
He's servin' five years in Osborn
prison. The old mans beer
SICK abed for months and l amt
able to work, and we're nearly
starvin'. Pardon the boy won't
you, guvnor? 1 wanted to go
down to the capital year ago
when they took Dannie away,
but 1 had no money and I
couldn't walk that far"
The colonel raised his finger
aud seemed about to explain,
but the woman talked on pite-
Ously:
They say he stole a COW tor
Halder, the cattle king that
lives down at Belden. Maybe
you him. l don't believe Dan
ME did any stealth, but if he
did, guvnor, it wouldn't be right
Tushin' him off to prison and
leave old Halder free and still
hirin' folks boys to steal cattle
for him."
1T doesn't seem right, for a
fact" admitted the colonel.
But, good woman" inter
rupted Finley, there was GER
tainly no evidence against Mr..
Halder, or surely the majesty
of the law would have been sus-
tanned and he, too, would have
suffered the punishment of the
transgressor."

words, mister, but know Dams

the Judge till this time. He's
all the child I got left, guv'ner.
Don't keep him from me-"
The colonel helped Mrs.
Higgs to her feet and led her
to a bench just outside the door
of the little telegraph office.
All the while he was thinking
deeply. He was the candidate
of the Outs" for Governor; the
Gins" had a natural majority
OF $4,000 votes; Governor John
Randall, with a good officia |
record to back him, was up for
reelection, and Colonel Joe
Layson had as much chance OF
becoming Governor as be had
of gaining the throne of Tur-
key. He had revolved the Sit
uation in his mind. and as he
found his inspira ton Mrs. Higg>
started TO rise, but he waved
her back, saying: just wait
there, madam, until | send
message and get an answer
I'm going to investigate this
matter at once"
Finley whistled, but the COL
onel only frowned and stalked
into the telegraph office. For
perhaps two minutes he wrote
steadily. When be had finished
he hurriedly gathered up tie
satisfactory sheets and slammed
them down on the operators
table.
Here, my man." he command
ed, "'send this in a big hurry"
The operator looked up
sleepily, rubbed his eyes and
read:
ITO Hon. John Randall, execu
tive mansion, Eagleton:
my Dear Governor-I'm run
ming against you, and you
know it's only for exercise, and
I want you to help me out in a
case that has nothing to do
with politics. I've got al old
woman here who takes me for
you and wants me to pardon
her son. 1t would be a shame
to undeceive her, and, anyway,
I'm better looking than you are.
The boys name is Dan Riggs.
He wasSsent up for five years
for cattle stealing. His father
is sick, and both father and |
mother are starving. Pardon
the boy for me, John. 1 never
envied you your job until this
minute. and even now 1 want
it only long enough to pardon a
cow stealer. Answer at once.
I'll wait here at this junction
until l hear from you.

1t was the longest and by far
the oldest telegram known 10
Xerxes Junction. The operator
looked dubious and timidly
suggested. You might skele-
tonne this and save money"
mo, SIR" said the colonel,
decidedly. Send every blam
ed word of 1t. This is a muller
of state"
The operator labored with the
m essage while the colonel went |
out on the platform to tell Mrs. |
Higgs to wait patiently. Soon
after the message gone over
the wires the Ardenia train
came putting in.
Come on, Governor" said |
Finley. 1--WE can't wait any |
longer"
