TALE OF AN EPIcURE.

He owned a cat with silky coat,
 And eyes of deepest green. It was about the finest cat
 The town had ever seen, Altho 'tis said he often tried,
 He couldn't lose that cat Because she was a wise feline
 And knew where she was at. He took her to restaurant
 And sold her to the boss; He felt quite sure the cat was gone But did not feel the loss. A week had passed, the owner went As was his wont to do, Into the selfsame restaurant
 And ordered rabbit stew. Upon a platter piping hot
 Which gravy did not lack He gazed again upon friend

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

L P in Portland, Ind, perfect lady
 V who has been furnishing cream N to the owner of an ice cream parlor has fallen into trouble of a serious nature. It develops that the lady with the cream would sell nef product to the owner of the ice creamery and then the two would repair to the shade of an old apple tree, nearby, where they are charged with having spooned. Now, there Is no reason why two persons of opposite sex should not make love in accepted fashion, if they so desire. provided they are not already wed. However, 1t appears that the lady who sells cream has husband and the gentleman who buys 1t has wife. The latter became aware of what was taking place daily in the shade of ths old apple tree. Enough said. There is something doing in the courts and every body Is humming Tn the Shade of the Old Apple Tree

Last evening after the battle for honors on the gridiron a collegian wended his way uncertainty down the street. Ever
 and anon he paused, emitting cries that
 sounded something like this; Hc, -rahi -rah -hic-rah! Whash the matter th us? IIici -rawi -rawl -hc-oop! Noshing 'tall!-oop! Noshing tall! An Ohio lass declared she would get
 drunk and disgust her tippling lover by
 showing him how he looked when under
 sail. She acquired the necessary stimula-
 ton all right. and then fell into the hands
 of policeman. It is safe to assume that
 she is the more disgusted of the two. A social czarina of San Francisco--pos- sibly one, possibly more-has excluded 200 members of the "400' who will no longer be considered, by the other side, at least, as the real people. It is anticipated that there will be much frigid politeness in Frisco this season, and a lot of diplo-
 matic stilletto work as a result of the schism.

THE WAYS OF STATESMEN.
Varying Methods OF Lord Palmerston

Queen Victoria once wrote to Lord
Palmerston, then premier of England,
expressing the wish that she couIu
speak from his place in the house OF
commons. Palmerston replied: Wis
count Palmerston presents his humble
duties to your majesty and has had
the honor to receive your majesty's
communication of yesterday, stating
what our majesty would have said II
your majesty had been In the house

may, perhaps, be permitted to take
the liberty of saying it is fortunate
for those from whose opinion her maj,
esty differs that your majesty is not
in the house of commons, for they
would have to encounter a formidable
antagonist in argument; although, on
the other hand, those whose opinions
your majesty approves would have
had the support OF powerful ally in
debate" Disraeli when premier had
more direct way in dealing with
women. One of them once attempted
to get certain piece of information
from him. He listened to what she
had to say and then answered: on,

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
Indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept III the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anemia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: CDR.

there wasn't soul in the building ex

sounds, like cautious footballs on the
stairs.

into the hall, No signs of anything

My heart was beating pretty hard, but
that was the only sound | could hear.

carefully up two flights Of stairs and
looked thoroughly through all the
rooms on two floors. There was moth,
ing out of the common.
Again | sat down and went to
work. This time l got in nearly halt
an hour of good ciphering before my
ghost woke up again; but he did wake
up, and this time with such decided
and unmistakable noise that the cold
sweat started all over me.

lime Foe.


On the escape of Napoleon from
Elba one of the generals who rejoined
him was the brave Gen. Layalette, a
soldier Of great distinction. When
Napoleon was defeated Gen Lava
lette was taken prisoner and barbar
ously sentenced to death as a traitor
And as a traitor he would have been
executed were it not for Capt. Hely'
Hutchinson and two other English sol
diers, one Of them being Gen Wilson.
Gen. Layalette was in prison on the
night before the morning appointed
for the execution, when he was visited
by his wife, daughter and a maid.
After an affecting interview in the
cell, the generals wife, apparently,
was led forth by her maid in an al
most fainting condition. But 1t was
really Lavalette himself, who had don
ned his wifes clothes. He was taken
hurriedly to the quarters of Hely'
Hutchinson and his chivalrous cocoon

the uniform of an English officer, he
drove boldly out Of Paris and was
speedily across the frontier.

Will Be No Discrimination.

Absolutely no discrimination will be
made between Mormon ors non Nor
mon in this contest. The only desire
of the promoters Is that the handsome
reward offered will induce the literary
and musical people Of the state to pro
duce an anthem touching the history,
characteristics, resources or hopes of
Utah that will be distinctly a state
song. The committee that will sift
the manuscripts will be announced in
a few days, and will be composed of
the best known and most reputable
literary and musical people in the
state.
1t will be a great honor to be known
as the author of the words or the COM
poser of the music for the state an
them of Utah, and in addition to this
the six successful competitors will re-
ceive for their work sums in excess of
the amounts paid by the highest class
magazines to the best writer's and
composers in the country. In offering
the large sum as an inducement to the
writers and composers of the state the
promoters of the enterprise hope to in
duce every lover of poetry and music
in the state to take an interest in this
contest and either compete or see to
it that their friends do so.
People, Alone, Will Decide.
The safeguards which have been
thrown around this contest assure
every one who will compete absolute
Iy fair treatment. Neither The Trib-
une nor the committee will have any
thing to do with the choice of the
public. 1t is the intention to make
this purely a popular anthem, and in
order to do so there will be no posi-.
BILE chance left to permit of discrimi-
nation or unfairness because of the
political, social, or religious standing
of the competitors. The unknown
writer is as liable to win as the ex-
perienced one in a contest of this kind.
