The horse has long been doomed to
determination by the wiseacres, but he
still holds tenaciously to his place in
this world and to-day fetches a price
as high as ever, if not ot,higher, observes
the New York Evening Sun. When
railroads first came into use it was pre-
dicted that they would seal his fate,
but be has managed to keep his head
up and his price up for nearly 100 years
since then. The electric railroad was
the next threat he had to face. It
seemed more full of danger than the
steam railroad, for the moving Of cars
for short hauls all over the country
afforded him steady employment. Elec-
tricity drove him from railroad busi-
aess, but he seems to have found plenty
to do elsewhere.

AS New York now clearly stands sec
ond in the world in point OF population,
1t will probably in another decade have
passed London. 1t is safe to say, at
any rate, that by 1915 New York will
rank as the largest city in the world.
Many estimate it to be already the
financial centre. OF course. if New
York reaches this position in the popu-
iation Of the worlds cities, it will be
largely due to immigration, though
none the less a matter Of local pride,

Rome, Vienna, Antwerp, Amsterdam
and London have each. been in their
turn the metropolis Of the world. 1t is
but natural that New York should yet
hold the place, and perchance it viii

friends are men of great wealth. who
live extremely well, and association
with them has made him somewhat
hard to please in the matter Of cook

ask, after tasting an entree his wife
had racked her brain to think up.
What on earth is this?" he would
say when desert came on.
"Is this supposed to be salad?" he
would inquire sarcastically when the
lettuce was served.
The wife stood it as long as she
could. One evening he came home in

The wife talked of a thousand. diff.

Japanese and Korean showmen, in,

most curious examples of training is

Of paper and thrown into the air in the

receives new name in honor Of his

Miss Geneva Nivison, whose salary
as postmistress at Swectmans, small
country town just over the boundary
line from New Brunswick. in Mon
mouth County, was only $14.9l last
year, has beer replaced st her request
by Johnson Applegate as postmaster.
Miss Nivison some time ago asked that
some one be named in her place. Miss
Nivison was appointed to take charge
of the office in April, 1901. The post.
office at Sweetmans was established
six years ago. In Miss Nivison's first
year as postmistress her salary was
500. She gets an amount equal to the
amount Of the posta sc stamps cancelled
in the year at The office. Some months
ago the territory from which she re-
ceived letters was cut into by one Of
the rural free delivery routes starting
from Englshtown, and since then she
has received little more than half what
the receipts Of the office formerly were.

and wipe the residue on the seat OF their

The eating and drinking public and most
OF us are given to botii-can well afford to eX-
ercise particular care at this time in the mat
ter of what is eaten and the liquid that is used.
Typhoid is prevalent in the fall, following the
ripening Of fruit, and the early storms The
use of overrpe or imperfect fruit land we have
much Of III often results in disaster, and water
from wells after these cary rains not infre
quently contains the typhoid germ. If you are
one of those people who drink water, and the
hume is so situated that the best is not OBJ
tainable, boil your drinking water. Then be
careful OF the fruit that is eaten, and if pos
sibe avoid colds. This advice Is offered by
physicians who understand how easily most
typhoid could be prevented. A little care may
save a doctor bill and perhaps life.

BOOST RATHER THAN KNOCK.

For the sake Of argument grant that cond-
tions in Utah are as intoerabe as some would
have us believe, will it not be conceded that
the easiest and quickest way to remedy that
condition is to induce healthy growth, an
immigration sufficient to make those conditions
impossible? Most assuredly, yes. II the so
called hierarchy dominates in politics now,
could it do so If there was an Overwhelming
number of non Mormons in the State? Would
not most OF the other socalled evils disappear
under such conditions as would come with
goodly number Of people and healthy growth?
This seems certain Then why, by the name
of all that is gracious, do not these people tight
ing for Utah as they claim seek to induce this
emigration, this coming OF men and money?
Why advertise to the world Utah's so.called
disadvantages, and few OF the wonderful oppor-
tunities herey DO we advertise our family
quarrelS or hide them and put the best foot
toward? Utah's difficulties are of family
nature,-why tell the world of these difficulties
in language that rcpulses?
Those who claim to be fighting for Utah tell
us that men of means, and an immigration, will
not come as long as certain conditions exist.
How would they know of any unfortunate con-
ditons If they were not old in lurid language,
