habitable by the untiring efforts Of a
religious sect of Christians known as
the Mormons. Under the guidance of
their leading genius, Brigham Young, at
first few in number, but in time multi
plying by increased additions Of faithful
followers they settled what has since
been designated as the state Of Utah.
Their first entry was made on the Oath
of July, 1847. The pioneer work was
efficiently done in the face of much hard
ship and trouble.
It is not until at least fifteen years
after the first settlement of Utah that
we hear Of the presence of any Jews.
The statement-seemingly borne out by
many instances in history-that the
Jew is seldom seen in the capacity of
pioneer, but as a useful follower, was
verified in the case of those who first
settled in Utah. Though the rough pio-
neer work had been done, they aided ably
in developing the resources of theirnewly
adopted home. The Mormon sect, which
was in power because Of their prepon-
derating numbers, has always treated
the Jews in friendly manner. The
Mormons claim to be related to the Jews,
asserting that they are the lost tribe of
Joseph, and that they trace their de-
scent through his son Ephraim. This
friendly feeling has enabled the Jews to
succeed where others have failed.

prospectors, trappers and gen
tlemen of leisure were gathered
warm fire in Dixie one
cold night recently, swapping
Munchausen stories of adventure
and hair-breadth escapes that
only thase who make their home
in the mountain fastness ever
experience. Among the many
good ones was an amusing tale
told by Rory Burke of his cap
turing a live cougar, and taking
him home for a pet. Rory is a
good story teller and the tale is
best told in his own way.
"It happened some ten years
ago, when l put in a winter on
the middle fork of the Clearwater
trapping. One day, in making
my usual rounds Of the No, l 1-2
traps we had set for martin, |
noticed that one of the small traps
was gone. All around the spot
the ground was torn up as if by
a Kansas cyclone. Down the
mountain side the earth and
bushes were clawed about in a
manner that made me cautious
in following the trail. About a
quarter of a mile from the start
ing point, in a clump Of alders, |
noticed a brown mass that | at
first took to be a bear. On close
examination, however, | found
the animal to be a very large .cou-
gar; and strange as it may seem,
held fast by the little l IL trap.
In setting the trap had fastened
a ten foot cedar pole to the toggle,
and this was lodged tightly in
between the alders.
Il didn't have my gun with me
and had doubts about my ability
to kill the animal with a club, so
| hiked back to the cabin for a
shooting iron. Consulting with
my partner we decided to take
Mr.. Cougar back to camp alive.
Returning in the afternoon to
the spot where the cougar was
tangled up, my partner and |
made preparations for taking our
prize home. My partner untan~
gled the toggle, took hold Of the
cedar pole, and went ahead, while
I slipped the moose Of a rope over
one of the cougars hind feet,
pulled the rope tight, and brought
| up the rear. This scheme work
ed all right on open ground lever
though the gentleman did chew
up 40 feet of new rope for Us)
but every time the cougar came
near a tree he would lunge for it
dragging us along, and we would
have a time of it dragging hi

tree. l soon tired of this per

Benefits of Proper Breathing.

The habit of slow, measured, deep breathing that covers the entire lung surface is of more value and import ance than you will ever believe until you have tried it. and when you have established the habit of breathing in this manner you will say some remark. able things in its favor. It will reach all points of your physical system. All the benefits that occur from healthy condition of the blood will in greater or less degree be yours, for the manner and completeness with which the in- spired air comes in contact with the blood in the lungs are of the utmost importance to every vital process.- Christian Work and Evangelist.

A minister has given this well de- fined exposition of the text, "And hay ing done all, to stand" On some body of water near his home there was one day a race between two boats. The captain of one saw that he was get ting behind, but he also saw that at the particular point where they were the current was stronger than the wind and that the head boat, though apparently progressing, was really drifting backward. Quickly taking in the situation, this captain of the rear boat cast anchor and won the race.

GLOVER ENRICHES A SOIL.
When Flowed Under Green, It Is an
 Excellent Fertilizer.

Excellent Fertilizer.
 A bulletin from the central experi- ment farm, Ottawa, Ont, contains a discussion of the profitableness of growing and turning of clover crops. Extensive experiments in this line have been carried on at that farm for a period of over eight years, and the results gathered therefrom contain a considerable amount of practical in. formation and data. The advantages derived from blowing under clover are briefly stated by the station as fol- Jews:
 1. There Is an enrichment of the soil by the addition of nitrogen obtained from the atmosphere.
 2. There is an increase in the store of available mineral plant food, phos- phor1c acid, potash and lime in the surface of the soil taken by the clover in part from depths not reached by the shallower root systems of other farm crops.
 8. There Is a large addition of humus, whereby the soil is made more retentive of moisture, warmer and better aerated, conditions favorable to vigorous crop growth. Humus also furnishes the material best adapted for the development of these forms of germ life that act so beneflcially in the soil.
 4. AS an agent for deepening and mellowing soils no crop gives such sat isfactory results as clover.
 5. Clover serves a useful purpose as catch crop during the autumn months, when the ground would be otherwise bare, retaining fertilizing material brought down by the rain, and also that formed in the soil dur ing the summer months, much of which would otherwise be lost through the teaching action of rains.
 6. AS shown conclusively by the particulars obtained by careful experi- ments over number of years with the more important farm crops the plow- ing under of green clover has most marked effect in increasing the soils productiveness.

Story Told by an Indiana LeRislator
 Relating to School Days.
 Representative Branch of the Indi. ana Legislature tells this: While at. tending as cadet at the military school Branch was in the habit of talk ing early strolls through the neighbor- hoods, and on one of these he says: "I was touched by an old fellow, whose tale of hard luck would have melted a stone
 "'But my good fellow l said, T haven't a cent with me this morning I spent my last penny last night and my check from home won't reach me until tomorrow
 "The old man wasn't satisfied.
 "'Look through your pockets he begged, maybe you'll find something.
 "'Well, if I've got any money in these clothes you can nave every cent of it, said to him, and I began turn ing my pockets inside out just to show him that I was strapped
 "Well, would you believe it, a silver dollar dropped out of one of my pock- cts and rolled on the sidewalk.
 Delighted, the old man quickly grabbed 1t up and said Thanks
 "He was much bigger than I and said: Certainly; I am glad I can help you, but really I didn't know it was there.'
 All the way back to school won- dered how the dollar came to be in my trousers"

The Old House at Home. o, the old house at home, where my fore. fathers dwelt,
 Where child at the feet of my mother I knelt; Where she taught me the prayer, where she read me the page Which in infancy lisped is the solace of age. My heart mid all changes, where'er I may roam,
 Never loses it's love for the old house at home. For twas there at the feet of my mother knelt
 In the old house at home, where my fore fathers dwelt. O, the old house at home; O, the old house at home;
 My heart never changes for the old house at home.
 It was not for it's splendor that dwelling was dear;
 It was not that the gay and the noble WeTe uehT,
 Ger the porch the wild rose and the ivy entwined, l And the jessamine fragrantly waved in the wind. But dearer to me than proud turret or dome
 Is the home of my father, the old house at home
 For 'twas there, at the feet of my mother I knelt,
 In the old house at home where my fore
 fathers dwelt.
 But the old house no more Is a dwelling for me,
 The home of the stranger henceforth 1t must b$
 And never shall room in It's rooms as 6 guest
 Never roam through the fields that my father possessed: But still in my dreams where'er I may roam,
 Sweet visions will come of the old house at home. For twas there at the feet of my mother knelt,
 In the old house at home where my fore. fathers dwelt. There's the new house for me that is not made with hands;
 'Tis . mansion in heaven, eternal it stands; By the river of life where the streets are of gold;
 And the gates are of pearl-it can never be sold.
 And soon I shall go to the land of the blest,
 To meet with mother and the loved ones at rest.
 And 'tis there round throne pearly white we shall sing
 In that "New House at Home," 'tis the home of a King! Chorus o, the new house at home, O, the new house at home; My soul now is longing for the new house at home.
