saving of his life to the action of a
mule He says.
When | came to my senses a
huge timber was lying across my

a few feet of where | was pinioned,
looking at me as if wishing to rem

"Soon the mule turned its heals to-
ward me and began to kick. The first

the second hit it full and just grazeC
my ear, which now shows the mark

it sufficiently for me to slide from

He was in a through car and when
an attempt was made to get him out

rushed to an uptown store and got
him makeshift covering for his eX-
tremities.
The whole car full of people took
part in the search for Mr.. Halls
trousers when the car was approach
ing Denver this morning.
The victim of the sneak thief
wildly excited. yelled directions ia
the porters and the conductor from
his closely screened section. When
he left the train he was swearing
vengeance at the robbers and the
railroad officials in general, and the
the Denver agent of the Burlington
in particular. for bringing him a
pair of trousers six inches too long.
He admitted that he laid his trous-
erS on the floor the same as he does
when at home. but he declared in
future he would sleep with them I'M

The Railroad.

s. important have become the rail
roads to civilization that their con-
struction and operation are not only
questions of national pslicy, but even
of international contention. The re-
cent war between Russia and Japan
was largely struggle over the Man
churia Railway. The possession of
the railroad was the stragic key, not
merely to military situation but to
a commercial situation. The cOun-
try that possesses it controls in
great measure the trade Of the
orient.
China has made a remarkable pro-
gress since the Boxer outrages. At
last she has opened the door of her
oriental seclusion TO the commerce
and civilization of the world. The
announcement which has been made
by the Chinese Minister to President
Roosevelt of the policy of his govern
ment in the construction Of railroads
marks an epoch in the history of
China and it may perhaps be reguard-
ed as thousand mile post in the de-
velopment Of the human race. Chi
ma has not only decided TO build rail-
roads but to build them herself and
this means the opening Of enormous
trade to the world. While it is pos
sibe that the population Of China
has been exaggerated, there is. of
course, no doubt that she contains
hundreds of million Of people who
only need modern means of COM
munication to become customers for
the paoducts of the world. Not only

NERVY WOMAN.
Dressed AS a Man Lives As a
Tramp For Love of
Husband.

Il will stick TO him if have to
wait forever for him, if | have to
wear mems clothes again and follow
him across the continent on freight
train" declared Mrs. Edward Park
johnson to-day, speaking of her
married life, in the course of which
she has dressed as a man and
''tramped it" with her husband.
Twice since her marriage three
years ago she has seen her husband
sent behind prison bars. He is now
serving a sentence of six years in
Wyoming for forgery and the young
wife has returned to her home in
Salt Lake City.
The two eloped from Brigham
City three years ago with a horse
and buggy which Johnson had stol-
en-. After a long pursuit Johnson
was arrested. He escaped from
Jail, but his wife pursuaded him to
surrender himself. Later he was
pardoned. Mrs. Johnson cut her
hair and put on a suit of her hus-
bands clothes. They tramped from
Ogden to Evanston, Wyo., where
both secured employment as sheep
herders. the wife still maintaining
her disguise.

Hog Philosophy.

a symmetrically developed hog is
the profitable porker.
A runty pig may be properly de-
fined rs one that eats its head off
about three or four times a year.
The hogpen is the original banking
institution on the farm, and the far
mer can draw on his account any day
in the year.
Everastingly at it is the success
full hogman's motto. You can't
make the most of the pigs and slight
them for single day.
The State fairs are the best edu-
Gators we have for the rank and file
of hog growers. They set higher
ideals for men to work toward.
The high grade hogs now found
on the average farm trace through
the best and purest ancestry known
t. the hog breeding world.

fElizahrthtoWn News1

An amusing incident occurred
here last week in matrimonial cir
Giles, in which Squire Ounce Johnson
had prominent part thrust upon
him. A certain couple from back in
the country apiece called upon him
with marriage license and asked him
to the tie the knot. which he did
delivering his well-known common
law ceremony. Just two days later
the same couple reappeared and inn
portuned the Squire for an order to
go to the Couty Poor House. Ounce
thought this was the limit and turn
ed the request down. A similar visit
was then paid to Judge Rider. who
took the same view. 1t has not been
reported just how much Quincy re-
ceived for performing the ceremony
and as he is little sensitive on the
whole matter we havenot interview
