AN INFAMOUS GRAFT.

of the Mormon hierarchy apar
from its polygamous feature is
the infamous graft it prepetuat
ed on the people of Idaho in the
matter of the dested sugar
bounty bill passed by the Slip
perry Seventh two years ago anC
engineered by one John Henry
Smith, the polygamous apostle
from Utah.
Through Mormon influence in
the legislature of 1901, a sugar
bounty bill was passed, but il
was promptly vetoed by Cover
nor Hunt.
Two years ago the Legislature
being overwhelmingly republi
can and absolutely dominated by
the Mormon church, another
sugar bounty bill was passed by
which bounty of one cent a
pound was offered for sugar
manufactured from sugar beets
in Idaho for 1903, and one-half a
cent per pound for 1904.
This little luxury will cost the
people of Idaho $25O,OOO and
every dollar of it will go to swell
the Golfers of the Mormon
church, with the exception of
what little is given to the Black
foot plant, which is independent.
The bounty for 1908 was &c.
900, and that for 1904 will be
$15O,OO0.
Joseph F. Smith, the Presi.
dent of the Mormon church, is
also the head of the Sugar Trust
operating in Idaho, and the
church will get the benefit of
this bounty.
Apostle John Henry Smith
well knew this when he engin-
eered this bill through the legis.
lature two years ago.
When the plant at Idaho Falls
was dedicated, President Smith
and others of his retinue dignifi.
ed the affair with their presence
and ever since have eagerly
waited for their share of the
spoil wrung by a Mormon legis-
lature from the other taxpayers
of Idaho.
The only reason why it has
not been paid, is that the State
Auditor Turner has stood like q.

FATE OF A BIG OHIO TREE.

The greatest tree ever seen by white
men in Ohio is believed to have been
the enormous sycamore, or, more
properly, buttonwood, which stood in
what is now Valley township, Scioto
county, in the rich bottom lands of the
Scioto River.
1t was so prodigious in bulk that as
early as 1870 it was described in tie
Cincinnati Almanac as one of the nat
ural wonders of Ohio. In June, 1903,
according to what seems reliable test
imony, a party of thirteen persons,
all on horseback, rode into the hollow
trunk of this sycamore, and found
that room enough remained for two
more horses and their riders. The
tree forked about eight feet from the
ground, and it was hollow when first
seen by the white settlers. The cir;
feet at the base, and five feet from the
earth it was az feet in girth. These
figures remind the reader of the fam
Gus big trees of California. The open
ing into the cavity within the trunk
was 10 feet wide at the bottom, o1a
feet high, and the hollow was about
ID feet in diameter.
The account which has been pre-
served of the fate of this enormous
tree is very odd. 1t is claimed that
the giant buttonwood was kept I'M
injured as a great curiosity, until the
farm on which it stood was used as a
stock farm by one Thomas Dugan.
This stockbreeder turned several val
liable bulls into the fields where the
huge tree stood, and two of them
fought inside its trunk. In that small
space, for bull ring, the victor was
able to prevent the escape of his rival
and the weaker was killed. This
affair convinced Dugan that the larg-
est tree in Ohio was a menace to his
stock, and he cut it down. Later
hogs kept in the same field were at
tackled by chlorera, and the owner rea-
soned that their habit of lying inside
the hollow stump was bad for their
health, and so he had the stump re-
moved 1t may we'll be doubted
whether any other immense tree was
ever destroyed because of fight be-
tween two bulls.

MISTAKES IN LIFE.

One of the most improbable ways
of spending time is the practice, to
which many persons are addicted,
of brooding over the mistakes one
has made in life and thinking what
he might have been or achieved if he
had not done at certain times just
what he did do. Almost every un-
successful man in looking over his
past career is inclined to think that it
would have been wholly different but
for certain slips and blunders-certain
hasty, ill considered acts into which
he was betrayed almost unconsciously
and without a suspicion of their con-
sequences.
As he thinks of all the good things
of this world-honor, position, power
and influenced which he has been
deprived in some mysterious, inexpli-
cable way, he has no patience with
himself, and as it is painful and hui
initiating to dwell long upon ones
own follies it is fortunate if he does
not implicate others-friends and rel
atives-in his disappointments. Per-
haps as education has never been free
from mistakes mistakes indeed of
every kind-he imputes the blame to
his early training, in which habits of
thoroughness and accuracy or, again,
of self reliance and independence Of
thought may not have been implant-
ed. Perhaps calling was chosen for
him by his parents without regard to
his peculiar talents or tastes and pref
erences, or if he was allowed to choose
for himself it was when his judgment
was immature and unfit for the respon-
sibility. The result was that the
square man got into the round hole or
the triangular man got into the square
hole or the round man squeezed him
self into the triangular hole.
