Why not more unity at all
times?

1888
There once lived in Bohemia
a very beautiful princess, named
Libussa, who was awfully we'll up
in plums, and painfully clever
about housekeeping. Her three
lovers, finding her bne morning
in the kitchen-garden gathering
plums, the princess offered her
hand and housekeeping to which
ever of the three would tell her
how many plums she had in her
basket. She said, Zone of you
shall have half and one mere, the
second shall have half that arc
left and one more, and the third
shall have half the remain Ter and
three more. That will empty my
basket How many plums, there
fore, are in it?' The first knight
Numbered out a random guess of
sixty. "No," said the bewi1dering
beauty; "but if there were as
many more, half as many more,
and a third as many more, with
five more added to that, the num-
Der would as far exceed sixty as
it now falls below it." The second
knight wildly specialized on forty
five. may" said this royal ready
reckoner; "but if there were third
as many more, half as many more,
and sixth as many more, as there
are now, there would be in my bask-
ct as many more than forty-fve
as there are now less than that
number" The third knight, Prince
Waldomir, then declared the num-
Der of plums to be thirty, and there
by secured this desirable house
keeper for his wife. The princess
then counted him out fifteen plums
and one more. leaving fourteen:
to the second knight she gave
seven and one more, and six re-
manned; to the first knight she gave
half of these and three more; and
the basket was empty.

Don't talk about luck We were
born on ''lucky day for my
dearest father said we we're; and
how is it now? Why, we pick up
horse-shoes and hang them on the
fences. Only the other day we
picked up (you may have seen it)
the very largest and heaviest shoe
(big luck) and stood it up in the
corner of Notes window quietly
and trudged on. These are facts.
Just fancy, we forgot Our matches
the other day and when we wanted
light in haste-we thought about
chose matches" when too late!
But, we shook the box and there
was a match, one solitary match,
and we drew a long sigh of relief
for it made Our light and was as
good (polite and bright as box
full. And is not it lever thus")
with us-always a little light left
to us, and Our shoes on the road!
"Trust in God and keep your pow
der dry" then your luck will lie
on your path every day and you
need only to stoop and pick it up.
If, on the other hand, you
despise what comes to you and
would not be seen" STOPPING to
pick up small bit of metal how
can you expect to succeed or pros
per. A great deal depends upon
yourself, my dear; and if not
willing to work and to endure "as
good soldier rise early and
to lie down late many times, red
letter days will skip your house
and the stork never be seen resting
on your roof. We can't help it.

grandchildren.
Then there is the third congestive
chill. commonly believed TO be fatal.
Most people who die from this cause
succumb TO the first or second attack
Ii a man succeeds in weathering two or
them the odds are in favor OF his COM
ing out victor in the third. Almost
every community possesses a citizen
who boasts the fact that he has a silver
plate in his skull. Surgeons say that
very few attempts were ever made at
such an operation. and all of them were
failures. There does. not exist a man
who has silver plate in his skull. al
though many men honestly. believe
that they are carrying this species OF
paraphernalia in their craniums, The
bone of the skull cannot live and be
healthy in the presence Of a foreign
body. II is said by surgeons to be
physical impossibility. but this serves
in no way to overcome the common
erroneous belief.
The medical fraternity has another
false belief to combat in cases OF
shingles" This disease consists Of a
skin eruption always following az
fected nerves, and commonly appearing
on the body. It is a very common be-
lief that If the shingles completely
surround the body and strike a meet
ing point the patient viii die instantly.
The belief is untrue.

What home folks think about the
future of salt Lake is pretty well DEM
onstrated by the purchase on Saturday
of the Burlington" corner at Third
South and Main streets by Mrs. Judge
for $4,000 in cash, through her All
viSei. w j. Hailoran. The consideTa-
ton fixes a valuation of $1.75O per front
foot on Main street property. the high
est figure ever reached by ground that
FAR south. and . good. stiff price FOR
such a location ia any city of this siza.
The real significance OF the purchase
lies in the fact that Mr.. Halloran s
recognized as most conservative busi-
ness man. and he bought this for his
client as d business Investment, and =
as a speculation. 1t is proposed 20 inn
prove the property. and it goes with
out saying that the buyer expects 10
derive a good percentage as revenue
from the Investment. AS the owner Of
over u million dollars worth of realty
in Salt Lake, Mrs. Judge has already
shown her faith in her home city. AM
this purchase is only another proof of
her entire confidence in its future
growth and prosperity.
Because of the amount OF money in
yolved. the sale OF Saturday has at
tracted a good deal of attention, but
If the actual transactions going on
were made Puhlic. as they should be.
It would be shown very plainly that
every investor and real es-
tate man in the city has walked up TO
the fact that Salt Lake is in the mids:

and that. too. without any
OF the disadvantages Of a fictitious
boom. Some OF the heaviest capital
lists in the country are quietly EXTEND
ing their holdings here. ana the city

OF its development as a Greater Salt

MEXICO'S FAMOUS GHOST.
Was Sexton in Chain Armor Who
Murdered Sixty Men.


Near the church OF Jesus, which was
founded by the great conqueror. Herman
Cortes, there exists a narrow street which
was a century ago ilI-paved. ill.lighted
at night, and the resort of middIe-class
people. 1t was, in fact, much like the
greater number of streets of the capital
OF New Spain in those days. 1t was
respectable, as responsibility went then,
when a man was liable to be held up
If he ventured To step outside his own
door after dark.
The Church Of Jesus was then one or
the fashionable places of worship of the
city and its life flowed along peacefully
enough. But one morning the city IVES
electrified by the news that a ghost had
been seen in the narrow street leading
h the church, and that the poor old sex
ton who had seen it had been frightened
almost out Of his senses.
But there were those who doubted the
ghost story, for they remembered that
the SEXTON though stout, muscular fell
low. was old and he was known to be
sometimes in a condition in which men
are given to seeing double, So some Of
the doubling ones repaired the f0lloWlrg
night 10 the narrow street, leading 10 the
church; and sure enough, Just as the
was a tall figure dressed in grave
clothes and its eyes were like two balls
of fire. Where il came from no one
knew, for it came suddenly upon them
Knen tnelT- DdckS were tutHtu.
But the watchers were brave men ana
two Of them drew their pistols, which
they kept carefully primed for the o.
casion, and fired at the figure. Both
were dead shots, and both swore that
they fired through the head of the ghost
who never hesitated for moment, but
continued his march toward them. Then
the watchers all fled in terror.
Then followed one OF the most curious
episodes in the history of the City or
Mexico. Night after night the ghost APP
peared. Several police officers, noted for
their bravery and fearlessness, made up
their minds that the ghost was fake
and they determined TO expose IT. So
thep repaired to the scene OF his ghost
shius nightly wanderings. The ghost APP
psared as usual and the three men

drawn swords But their swords rebound
ed from the body of the ghost as though
they had been driven against stone wall
and the ghost. not hesitaIing for one mo-
ment. continued its way and disappeared
within the walls of a little cemetery
which existed in that part Of the city al
that time.
Up TO this time the ghost had done no
further damage than frightening people
But now il assumed new tactics and be-
came sort of Jack the Ripper, except
that instead of attacking women II con-
fined its attention 10 men. For several
mornings dead bodies were found in the
vicinity of the Church OF Jesus, and. Gu
rious to say, there was not a mark on the
bodies to show how the unfortunases had
come 10 their death. And il became
popularity believed that the sight OF the

Then came story that set the popuiace
still more wild with excitement and
cavalier had wandered into the lane lead
ing 10 the Church OF Jesus, and. meeting
the ghost there. he drew his sword and
attacked II fierceiy. and in doing SO, ne
drew blood. He declared he heard the
ghost cry out with pain.
The chief OF police, General Nillegas,
had heard the story told by the drunken
cavalier of the cry of the ghost and OF
the blood upon his white garments, and
he made up his mind that. whatever was
the mystery " the movements of the
ghost. and they certainly were mysterious
enough. there was q human end 10 the
police TO look into.
So one moonlight night he set ont for

was every Well-trained Spanish warrior Of

The general had not long to wait. for
soon the ghost came toward him, its eyes

But the general had never owned 10 fear
in his life. and he was too old now 10
change his habits, so he drew his sword
and rushing upon the ghost he attempt
ed 10 run him through the body at the
belt But the sword struck against the
body as against q stone wall and broke
into pieces. Then the general, throwing
away the hilt Of his weapon, grappled
with the ghost whom he succeeded in
throwing 10 the ground after short
struggle. As the body fell the light in the
eyes went out and the ghOstly garments
took fire. Then indeed, was the general
afraid; for he had never before fought
with an enemy that used fire against him
in this fashion. But his fear was only
for a moment. for the voice of the ghost
calling 10 him for mercy convinced him
that the thing he had TO deal with was
human.
So tho general tore the burning gar
nents from the ghost, and there he saw
before his astonished eyes a short. stout
man. clad in 2 suit of heavy chain ar

head in which was fixed a lantern whose
light had streamed out through its false

He was the old sexton of the Church of
Jesus. He confessed to having killed over
sixty men, and all in the same manner
Those who were too terrified 10 escape
he followed. and, striking them from be-
hind with a bag filled with sand, he
killed them without leaving a mark to
show how they had met their death. Then
he robbed them and left the bodies where
they had fallen.
