AMONG A BUTTES.
Excessive Heights of Naked Rock
That Cleave the Sky in Utah
"Valley of wonders"

Words fail to express the sensations
inspired BY these excessive heights of
naked rock, says Scribner's. The river
constantly forms an appropriate fore
ground, and at length as we near the
upper end of this particular division
one of the most complete pictures of the
whole valley unfolds before us. In the
foreground are the chaotic masses Of red
rock through which the river tears it's
way; green cottonwoods and bushes
then inject their note, leading on to a
huge vermilion pyramid, whose preci-
pieces cleave the sky in the midday sun
like a battle AK, behind and above it
greater pyramids. A little further on
the road leads out into bottomlands
again, where another phase of the val
ley begins. Four phases are noted be-
tween the entrance and the upper
chasm; the open phase as far as the
beginning of the %ravine, then the
%ravine, then the amphithf alter phase, ex-
ending to the cliff of the Wire, and
finally the last narrowing phase from
the Wire to the chasm.
Coming out of the head of the great
ravine as upon the floor of anoher
story, the magnificent series of pyra-
mids on the left disclose their full
majesty; the little river no longer
frets amidst powders, but glides with
a concentrated intensity. To the west
opens a deep alcove, aiding to form
here a huge amphitheater. There are
thick groves of cotton-woods in the
wide, level bottoms; on the slopes of
talus, caccti bloom gorgeously; there
also are manzanita with its rich red
stela and waxen leaf, sage bush, and
many other plants, cedars, pinons. The
blue sky above again touches the right
chord in the symphony. Up and down,
east and west, extends the labyrinthian
array of giant rock-forms so magnif-
Gently sculptured, so ravishingly tint
ed. Again we are impressed with the
marvellous beauty of outline, as well
as the infinite complication, of these
Titanic buttes. 1t is doubtful if in this
respect the valley has anywhere it's
equal. Not even the best part of the
Grand canyon offers a more varied
spectacle. There Is an isolation of
each temple here that Is rare, yet all
are welded together in a superb en-
semble.

NUMBER ON PAPER MONEY.
All Bills Marked "a" and G Are Odd
While Those Marked az" and
I'D" Are Even.

"If anyone comes up to you and
wants to bet you that they can tell
whether the number on any of Uncle
Sans paper money is odd or even by
looking at that part of the bill on which
the number does not appear, shun him
as you would the plague" said q guest
at a Duluth hotel, according to the
Evening Herald.
"Why? What is the joker" asked an
other guest.
only this" replied the frs. 81 was
out this afternoon with a number of
men with whom have business deal
ings. We ate lunch and then one man
wanted to bet me thai he could call
the even or odd on the number of any
bill had, the loser to pay for the lunch.
l took a bill from my pocket, folded it
so that the number did not show and
after he had looked at ii he said: Even
ut was even. Soon afterward | got
stuck for the cigars the same way. After
| had been done four or five times they
explained to me that all of the bills
marked "A and &C. were odd, while those
marked b and ID we're even. 1t cost
about six dollars to find out, but | guess
it was a good investment at that. It
is the same on all bills. Be careful when
attempting to do the work not to take
the series letter IL front of the number.
but hunt for a small letter on the left
hand side of the BILL"

MISSOURI MEERscHAUM.
Resolutions of Men to stop
Smoking.

"The Missouri meerschaum is doing
more than all other agencies that are
arrayed against weak men to crush his
good resolutions to quit smoking" said
Col. G.. w. Waters, of the state board
of agriculture, according t a Macon re-
port, to a crowd of farmers at the
corn show. "a man can very easily
swear off from smoking an ordinary
cigar or manufactured tobacco, as they
call it, in a brier pipe, but when he be-
comes addicted to twist and a Mis-
souri, m~eerschaum, he's gone for keeps
as far as that vice is concerned.
Il have just come up from Frank
lin county, where they grow Missouri
meerschaums. The farmers Gown there
raise corn for the cobs, because they
get more for them than they do for the
grain that grows on them.
Its called the Collier corn. The
cobs are unusually large and woody.
They are not porous like the ordinary
corncob.
"a patented preparation is applied
to the inside of the pipe, and the u
side is run through a lathe and pol
ished. After that it is vanished.
when the reed stem is inserted and
you load it with a handful of Iona
green, you have the finest smoke in
the world, one that the sultan might
envJ.
"The manufacture of corncob pipes
in Franklin county has built up Wash
ingion until it has become a city OF
considerable importance. There are
four factories turning out 6,000, 600 corn
cob pipes every year.
You can't get EN- anywhere else in
the world-not the real thing. One
of the factories has a capacity Of 100,-
900 pipes a day. Four hundred men
and women find constant employment
in these factories.
1.-THE farmer gets from Is to GO cents
a hundred for his cobs. Two pipes are
made from each cob, one from the butt
and the other from the center. The
grade made from the butt is q shade
the more expensive, because a little
| more solid than the other.
1.-THE raising of orr for cob pipes
wears out the land much faster than
the ordinary small cob variety, because
more potash from the soil goes into the
cob than into the grain"

INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
GAMBLING AND STOCKS.
spectacle But just as Certainly
Brings Final Financial Ruin.

The very fact that the professional
gambler is to a large extent a social
outcast, plying his craft at night and
behind steel doors and only then with
the purchasable c%onnivance of the au-
thorities, is in itself q warning that not
even the stupidest can fail to observe.
Stock speculation, on the contrary, says
Leslie's Monthly, hangs out the banner
of respectability-which a great many
unthinking persons have somehow come
to confound with morality-and under
its protection, carries on its traffic night
and Gay, in city streets and village lanes,
in parlor and boudoir, in store and in
factory-in short, wherever it can find a
single human being possessed of this
mania for getting something for moth
ing. Men who would scorn to cross the
threshold of a gambling house, gamble
openly in stocks and are not ashamed to
discuss their ventures in the presence
of their W children. When Wall street
ruins a man, it strips him of everything
that he possesses-destroys his bust
ness, places a mortgage on his home
eats up the trust funds of which he was
custodian and leaves him naked to the
world.
