ROM Wales had come the news to
Miss Sarah Anne Scott, young
Englishwoman, that an uncle in
that country had left her a leg
acy of $25, 600. Miss Scott was just re-
turning to her home, 1926 North Fifty
second street, after taking the exam
nations preliminary to entering the
nurses training school of the Univer-
sity Hospital when she was told of her
good fortune.
In an attempt to find out just how 1t
feels to become the owner of that much
money unexpectedly Miss Scott was in
terviewed by a Philadelphia North
American man. The young woman is
not an analyst of emotions; neither was
she surprised at the bequest of her un-
Gle.
mo, indeed, it wasn't unexpected at
ALL said she. ITO be sure. 1 couldn't
spend 1t before / got 1t, SO I was going
! to be nurse and earn my living, but
1t was always understood in the family
that my uncle would leave the money
to me. There is also much larger
fortune that will probably be mine
some dav.
How shall / spend it? Likely for
house rent and bakers and butchers
bills and clothes and the various other
things that are needed to keep a young
woman alive and happy. Did you think
should rush off and buy an automo-
bile or q yacht?'
Miss Scott said that she should go to
Wales to receive her legacy ana then
return to Philadelphia. For this Is the
only country in the world. and / am
patriotic American" she declared.
Then, just to show that wonen's minds
run much in the same channel, wheth
er their owners are wealthy or not, she
spoke wistfully of the affinity that she
hopes is seeking her somewhere in this
land of the brave.

Little Johnny's fathers gun

When his parents were away.

Merely wishing to be cute,
He took aim and said he'd shoot;

A WON DER
THE AGES GREATEST INVENTION
HARDLY SEEMS POSSIBLE.

1t is conceded on every point that
the nineteenth century brought out
more inventions of worlds interest
than any age previous to that time.
It is impossible to conceive of any
one thing that has caused morel nves-
tigation on the part of tie public
than has the wonderful Victor Talking
Machine.
To think of a machine reproducing
the songs of Melba, Caruso, Sembricn
or any of the worlds artists, or
Sousas band. Does it not seem mar
velous? 1t is, however, fact.
Nine Melba, on hearing the repro
duction of song that she had sung
remarked that it is now possible Tor
her to hear her own voice perfectly
something she had never been able to
do before.
1t is quite impossible for you to con-
ceive of the pleasure and satisfaction
of one of these instruments without
hearing them.
We have just received TIE largest
stock of machines and records that
ever came to this Western country
and we earnestly invite you to come
and attend our recitals every day.

Tonight at the Salt Lake theater
will be given the annual benefit of the
Kearns-St. AIMS orphanage. The en-
tertainment is under the direction of
Miss Nora Gleason which insures a
program of especial merit. One hun.
dred little ladies in snowy frocks, will
have no difficulty in passing them
selves off as fairies-real, dainty ones
that make the story books seem true.
Some of the best local musical talent
in the city will take part. No other
charity in Salt Lake more worthily
appeals to the generosity of its citi-
zens than the Kearns-St. AIMS or
phanage.
Margaret Anglin's "Zira" proved to
be Wil.ie Collins heroine, modernized
from the antiquity of the Franco
Prussian war to the times when Brit
ish soldiers were marching rocky
road in the African bad-lands.
The two stories-"Zira" and "The
New Magdalen"-differ in the pro-
logue. In all other respects, Manners
and Miller, the co-authors, crowd
pretty closely against the literary
heels of WillSie Collins. "Zira", how
ever, lacks the depth and substance of
character which are the absolute
charms of the printed story
The SUI lie moods, the natural i'm
pulses, which inspire the pages of the
book with forceful meaning, are blown
away by "Zira" in whirlwind of
hysterics-stagy Mysteries suggesting
