was born James Robertson in the
parish Of Glenista, Forfarshire
Scotland, on the 22nd day of Sep.
TENDER, 1927, near the Bonnie
house of Airien II is matter of
singular coinsidence that the lat
ter day prophet, Joseph Smith,
should on the same day, month,
and year receive the golden plates
from IAN angel from on high"
afterwards known as the Book Of
Mormon, which WAS destined to
take most important part IN the
history Of the world A little over
twenty years in his early manhood
he joined the Church of Jesus
Christ in 1S4S. and in 1850 left the
land of his nativity, babe farewell
to the scenes of his youthful days
with face set toward the West,
where Zion is located IN the land
OF the free and the home of the
of the brave, on the American con-
hnent. In crossing the sea, two
most remarkable incidents took
place. In mid ocean a great storm
arose; the captain and the crew
were afraid they would be wrecked,
when few of the Elders on board
met and by the power of faith and
prayer rebuked the waves and i'm
nledlately there was a great calm
In coming past Cuba the Captain
was by mistake running his vessel
into small bay instead of the
open sea when Il brilliant shaft of
light shone right in front of him:
a lady at his side said, "Oh captain
see land;' he saw it and" to right
labout" WIS the order; their lives
| were thus twice saved; in 1850 they
landed at New Orleans; came at
once to Kanesville at Council
| Bluffs near Omaha, Nebraska; in
crossing the plains he drove five
yoke of oxen all the weary way to
Salt Lake City; in 1852 he assisted
Samuel MILNE to locate the first
tannery in these mountain valleys;
the same year he was ordained Il
seventy in Salt Lake City under
the hands of Peter Clinton.
In May, 1858, he moved to Pal
myra, from thence to what is now
known as Spanish Fork; in 1856 he
was married to Matilda Graham,
who had come from Scotland to
Springville in 1854; they have had
eight daughters born to them 3
of whom are not--who have added
rs grand children, and 10 great
grand children.
For II years he acted as block
teacher in Spanish Fork, after that
labor OF love he was for fourteen
years associated in the bshopric of
this city under Bishop Thurber, for
this purpose he was ordained a
high priest February "a, 1868, by
Apostle George A. Smith
In self-defence of his own and
the lives of the Saints and their
earthly possessions he took his life
in his hand, went to what is known
as the Walker war in 1853, the
grasshoppers came in abundance
and were destroying their fields in
1900, he went along with he rest
of the brethren and got rid of that
pest; the cricket war in 1868 was
the next that got their attention,
and they were gotten under con
troll; in 1866 W hat is known MS the
Black Hawk or Indian war came.

No Need For Further Relief.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-With
$4,O00,o0o stiA on hand to be devoted to
the relief OF the refugees, it is said
that the relief committee has held
several executive meetings to deter
mine what shall be lone with this
money. 1t is claimed that the irec-
tors Of the relief work find that the
need of relief, has passed except in
such cases as can be taken care OF
by the regular charity organizations.
Allen Pollock, it is said, is in favor
of establishing a s$2,OO0,O0O hospital
with a part of the fund, while Her.
bert E. Law would turn the fun
over to the regular charity 'organiza-
tons. AS the wishes Of the donors of
the relief funds may have to be con-
suited no decision has yet been arrived
at by the relief committee.

"Quincy Adams Sawyer"
To those who have followed the ca
reer of the great rural play Quincy
Adams Sawyer to the extent of wit
Messing a large number of it's per-
Torrance, the most notable feature
of the drama, is. the power that certain
of it's Genes exert upon the audiences
in compelling Illusion. Especially is
this true of the famous husking bees
n in which the color and humoT
of rural festivity are so wildly pre-
scented as to- make this portion of
the performance an example Of the art
which conceals art and hence perfect.
The players in this merry scene are
so thoroughly in sympathy with it,
their pranks and laughter are sponta-
neous. the little details supplied in
the stage settings are SO perfect, that
as the scene advances the audience
gradually enter into the spirit of the
situation and forget the theater.
The heated atmosphere OF the play
house is dissipated and from the nat
ural simplicity and life-like charm OF
the merriment there sweeps over the
spectator that perfect illusion which
comes but seldom from stage art. The
Efootlights disappear and the actors on
the one side and the lookers-on upon
| the other seem to mingle in wholesome
enjoyment.
1t is safe to say that when the
great rustic play is seen here at the
Keylor Grand, Wednesday evening
| Nov. %, there will be few in the au-
;ence who will not find the husk-
ing, bee scene a perfect realization Of
the genuine article. :

MODES OF THE MOMENT.

For steady wear there is nothing like
a cheviot double breasted suit, semi
fitting, with hip length coat.
Skirts are almost invariably trim
med, while coats and jackets grow
more complicated in detail with every
new design.
Everywhere in every material one
sees striped effects in silks, velvets,
tweeds, light voiles and chiffons. Ev-
erything runs to stripes or crossbar
patterns.
One sees a good many vests with the
short coats, made of velvet, braid, en-
broidery and lace. Some Of them are
very elaborate, land they certainly add
a finish to a plain cloth or plaid cos
tune.
Broadcloth trimming in folds, stitch
ed straps and bands are used a great
deal on separate bodices Of chiffon
cloth. Sometimes the cloth is cut out
in disks, circles and other designs and
appliqued upon the blouse material. In
colors to harmonic with the skirt these
are very beautiful and tasteful.-New

Florence Roberts.

The management Of the Keylor
Grand is announcing the appearance
in this city Of the talented western
emotional actress, Miss Florence Rob-
erts on Nov. 10Th in the newest Of
problem plays, 1.-The Strength of the
Weak" 1t is a modern offering by
Alice M. Smith and Charlotte Thomp-
son, and had metropolitan premiere at
the Liberty Theater, New York city,
last spring when the star who is to
present it here made her Broadway
debut The story deals with the sex
question and while it is said not to be
entirely new, it has been so cleverly
treated that it served as a splendid
Introductory vehicle for Miss Roberts
and earned the approval of the en-
tire metropolitan press.
The story in brief is that of a
wronged girl, al orphan, who is vic
timized by her guardian who in turn
sends her to a female college to gain
an education, and left to her own
thoughts the girl realizes the extent of
her sin, and turns against the de-
spoiler of her girlhood and in order
to obtain money to repay all tina he
has spent upon her she writes a book,
taking as the theme her own life and
publishes it anonymously. She makes
an heroic effort to forget the past
and surrounds herself with the girl
friends she has met at college, and
in the intercourse with them she
meets and falls in love with a noble
young fellow to whom she finally tells
the story Of her shame and his love
~conquering, she is forgiven and hap
piness and forgetfulness seem in sight
when her former guardian returns and
she makes the awful discovery that
the man she loves and her betrayer
are father and son.

A Frenchman in a Paris newspaper
tells the world what an "amiable

be possessed of that refined modess

TO remain silent" What the French
woman would do if it so chance1
that she, was not "amiable" the
writer neglects to say, and this is an
extremely important omission, for
amiability is likely to be considerably
ruf1ed when it is exposed to such
tests as have been related by the po-
lice officer who made the arrest. It
may be- gratifying ito the French
critic-if, he has not been as yet I'M
formedMto know that in the case in
question a certain Gallo amiability
asserted itself, and q particularly Gala
lie modesty interviewed, since the in-
suited woman has mysteriously van
ished leaving no trace of her individ-
uality or her abode.
But the great throbbing question
remains, what does high civilization
do when women are publicly insulted?
Does it retire in silent disdain OF does
it make an example of the offender?
Is the masher to pursue his course
unrebuked in order that the amiabil-
sity of women may be demonstrated
and the modesty of the sex trium-
phantly indicated? Are policemen to
turn their backs on these gallantries
in appreciation of feminine sensitive
ness and are police courts not to
have the honor of entertaining the
gallants who rely SO strongly on the
pressure of amiability? The two
great republics which are so harmo-
NOUS in so many ways, seem to be
strangely at variance in this matter
of woman's obligation to other
women The two civilizationsLone
amiable and long suffering, the other
bristling and self-defending-are far
apart; each cannot understand the
other: But to return to the specific
