in discipline we never change for
the better. We know the old
adage that if we are angry to count
ten before we speak, and if we are
very angry, to count one hundred.
1t is said that the japanese never
display sign Of anger, for from
their babyhood they are taught
that when they are hurt or angry
they must give no sign of it, but
to smile it off. Just think of smil.
ing in the face of great trouble or
sorrow The deeper the trouble
the broader the smile, and no one
dreams of the wounded heart which
the smiling face hides.
The promoters of the various en-.
tertainments this season should
carefully consider the boys they
employ to distribute their bills,
for some of them simplify their
work by unloading dozens at a time
at one house. For recent concert
there were by actua! count forty.
seven dodgers left at one house
and thlrty.fyc at another house III
the same ueighborhood. while in
some parts of town there was not Il
single one distributed.
1t is said that one of the favor.
ties among the many odd charms
and bangles worn is that OF one of
the famous Chinese gods, the trio
of monkeys. One monkey holds
his hands over his mouth to indi-
cate speak no evil one puts the
hands over the eyes to see no
evil, - and the other with his hands
over his ears hears no evil" 1t
is good lesson to learn even from
a heather. for there is much of
sermon in such a trio of virtues.

1t is amusing to me that the idea
is prevalent in the city that life in
a country town is so deadly monot.
onous and stupid that we scarcely
know how to employ ourselves to
while away the dull hours. A few
weeks ago | went to st. Louis, as
| declared, for rest, as the stren-
nous life We were leading down
here was firing me out, but of
course | did not rest there.
cannot understand how people can
complain of the slowness of time
and the long days and evenings.
Sometimes | wish for.several hours
more for both day and night, for
bed time comes and / find many
things undone that ! expected to
accomplish during the day. One
infallable Iule to make time fly is
to apportion off your time for doing
certain things, aud as you work
you would almost think somebody
had moved the hands of the clock
around, so quickly will the time
fly away.

Salt Lake City has one minister
who is always busy; so busy in fact
that he scarcely takes time to eat and
sleep There is no use naming him;
this description will be recognized by
everyone who knows him. He was
down town few dayes ago engaged
in some affairs that merited his at
tention, and was accompanied by
friend. Suddenly looking at his watch
he declared he must abandon his pres
ent enterprise to go and climb into
a dress suit for the purpose of per-
forming a wedding ceremony thirty
minutes later. AS he went away he
announced that there would be ten
in it for him; perhaps twenty. Two
hours afterward he came back with
a face as long as double bitted

Thursday morning, while Charlie
Walker of the Northwestern, was
struggling with a contract for bringing
two car loads of furniture from Grand
Rapids to this city via the only double
track route, handsome lady entered
the office and said she wanted to go
east. The grand master DOTTED his
chapeau and got busy at once. The
woman seems to be particularly anx-
ious about her route east of Chicago,
and Walker made a great get away
with the official guide, hunting up
the best ways and ascertaining the
closest connections. Finally when she
had decided on the line she would
ride over east from Chicago, Walker
decided it was about time to get action
on her money, so he suavely suggested
that he could get her ticket right
through. ooh N.Y." said the lady, Il
have ticket to Chicago already" and
with this remark she produced Bur
lington pasteboard, together with
Union Pacific transportation to Den
yer. Walker returned to his furniture
business with much abruptness and
the dear girl went out.
