A FINE REUNION,
l.. u. 5. Upper Glasses Meet In Games
And Banquet.

The senior and Junior classes of the
4atter-day Saints university held re-
union last night. in the school build

fraternal affair. Most OF both class

Guilty were present The proceedings
began at s o'clock with series OF
lively games In the gymnasium. Thu
student orchestra played for a few
dances also. A contest OF answering
questions with words beginning with
the initials OF ones name created much
amusement. The party repaired at 10
o'clock to room Ill Y, where dainty
feast was spread. j. II. Harris de-
Clared the banquet open and announced
Thaddeus Hammond as the master of
ceremonies The POSTMASTER In a Sc
ries Of facetlous remarks, introduced
the speakers. Miss Ellen Tingey char
acterized the fourthyears In a sue
ession OF witty illusions. II. W.
Young, Jr.. responded with a similar
line OF wlttiClsms at the expense OF the
third-year class. Prof Widtsoe told
funny stories that set the table in an
uproar of laughter, Miss Edith Grant
brought down the house with a rhyms
that pointed out the idosyncrasies OF
various teachers. President Paul re-
sponded to this banter, but was too
happy, he said, TO attempt TO Jest at
the expense of students who had pro-
vided him with an evening Of such un-
alleged enjoyment. He therefore re-
marked that the compensation, II there
is any, in the teachers life is to wit
ness, as teachers every year do, the
success gained by their graduates, often
far transcending those which are
gained by the teachers them
selves. This causes no Jealousy
he declared. but on the con-
trary he felt that he only spoke out
the secret thought OF every teacher, IN
making this application Of Moore's
lines:
Go where glory waits thee,
But when fame elates thee,
O then remember me,
Prof. Hinckley closed the responses
by making affable references to certain
class matters and to his own initiation
by the students into these affairs Of
friendship and good cheer. His progress
in the art OF enjoyment. he said, was
becoming SO rapid that he felt sure that

INDIANS IN CRITICAL REVIEW.
Have Never Been Acknowledged as
Reliable Historians.

The Oregon Historical Society has
placed the mark of it's disapproval
on the Indian yarn which had Lewis
and Clark resting under large oak
tree that is still standing at st. Hell
ena. AS neither of those illustrious
explorers carved his initials in the
tree, and there is nothing but the In
dian story to lead to the belief that
they ever visited the spot, the tree
will not be brought to the exposition.
The Indian as a chronicler Of events
or recorder of history has never
been much of success. Too frequent
ly his untutored mind has enabled
him to grasp the idea that a thrilling

water than a commonplace statement
of fact. There are two classes of In
dians with which the American pub
lie is more familiar than any of the
others. One of these can be found in
front of tobacco stores with bunch
Of cigars in his wooden hand and the
other is continually before us in the
public prints as the owner of an ex-
ceptionaIIy valuable gold brick.
Both of these Indians have distinc-
tive traits of the real Indian, in that
there is considerable sham about
them. Small children will cry at the
sight of the cigar store Indian and his
tomahawk, and feeble-minded specula-
tors looking for sure thing will buy
gilded bricks from the blanketed pir-
ate in the forest, although neither of
these Indians is the real thing, But
to return to the historical Indian, who
is ever ready to turn out tradition and
history in accordance with the wishes
of the one who carries a black bottle
or other attraction dear to the Indian
mind. What part these saddle-col-
ored children of the forest. have play

There was a connection.

"Then don't think it. I'm no more
backsliding than you are, but think
I know little more about Jimmy. I'll
have him all washed and dressed by
ten o'clock Sunday forenoon. If he
seems to take to religion no one will
be gladder than me"
Before Sunday came it was known
to every soul in the village that Aunt
Sarah's Jimmy would be at church,
and the usual congregation was in
creased by forty. The Deacon called
for the boy at the right hour, and
after little coaxing, backed by three
Jumps of sugar, the unfortunate de
cided to take chances with the man
who held out his hand. He was led
to church and seated in the Deacon's
pew and nothing happened. The place
was strange, the people staring, and
for time the boy sat like a stone
statue. Up to the time all knelt in
prayer his behavior was without re-
proach, and the Deacon was certain
in his own mind that the Influence"
was taking hold. Jimmy was the only
one who didn't kneel. He was also
the only one who got up and tip-toed
cut of church while all the others
were busy. After a few minutes the
Deacon followed him out and found
him throwing stones at the hens in
the next yard. He was a man with
three sons of his own, and the pater-
nal spirit was strong within him. That
is, he obeyed his first instincts and
gave Jimmy box on the ear. 1t was
an unfortunate move. The boy ut
tered roar and kicked the Deacon
on the shins and then fed. The Gin

it came.
The whole congregation had seen
the deacon go out and were watching
for him to come leading Jimmy back.
and great was the disappointment
when it was realized that the lad had
escaped. Things seemed to drag for
the next twenty minutes. 1t was a

Jimmy had taken in the church as

obliged to the deacon for bringing
him, but that cuff on the ear satisfied
him that he had no friends in that
crowd. He had been used to fighting
his own way and paying off his own
scores. When it came to getting
square he seemed to have as much
wit as any of the boys around him.
His ear felt hot and his head rang,
and as soon as safe distance away he
looked around for revenge. Where
the hens were in the yard next the
church were also two hives of bees.
Jimmy knew something about the in

Hard-Luck story.

Il have just heard a real hard-luck
story from one of my constituents"
said Judge Bartlett of Georgia. There
has been considerable snow in Georgia,
and my constituent who lives In a pro-
hibition county, was going to a dance.
He had to drive fifteen miles. He
sent to an adjoining county for a quart
IF whisky. On the night of the dance
he decided to save the whisky.
Before he went into the house he
looked around for a place to hide his
treasure. He saw pile of brush near
by, and going over to it took the pre-,
cious quart and pushed it under the
brush. In about one second he heard
a muffied splash. He had tried to
hide, perhaps, the only quart of whis-
KY in the county in an abandoned
well. "-Houston Chronicle

The village OF Rawsonville knew
what was going to happen a week or
DO before it came to pass. Aunt Sarah
Hicks. relict Of Barnaby Hicks, had
received letter to the effect that her
sister in California was dead, and that
her sisters only child was coming
East to live with her. The Child" as
she went on to explain, was a boy of
eighteen and born idiot.
HE is the only fool ever born
among my relashuns." said the good
woman, "and how he happens to be
one the Lord only knows, but I owe
him a duty, and am going to take
care of him. expect he'll be great
trial, but that's what we are here on
earth for-to go through trials"
A few days later Aunt Sarah's
nephew arrived. He was in charge Of
man, and there was no doubt about
his being an idiot. He was led
through the village by the hand like
. two-year-old child, and it was evil
dent that his intelligence was of the
lowest order. For three or four days
the town was as much excited as If
a circus had come, and it was not
until the last citizen had had a square
look at Jimmy that curiosity began
TO wane. Some of the people were
inclined to criticize Aunt Sarah for
bringing fool to town." as they ex-
pressed 1t, while others contended
that 1t would make Rawsonville talked
about and perhaps increase business
and the price of real estate. The
three doctors In town had called and
booked Jimmy over and agreed that
he hadn't the brains of rabbit, and
the boy had thrown stones at every
other boy in the place, and things
had begun to settle down when Dea-
con Hardness opened a crusade. He
called on Aunt Sarah one day and
said:
I've been thinking the matter over,
and I've come to ask you what you
are going to do in a religious way for
that boy?"
What are you doing in religious
way for your plow-handles?" asked
the widow In reply.

to him to be President of the United

"But I've been talking it over with
some OF the folks" persisted the Dea-
con, "and we don't think it's right to
