New York man was stopping for a
month at an inland town in Florida. This
man is exceedingly fosid of swimming but
has horror for snakes, and this fear kept
him from indulging in his favoritc sport
in the nearby river. lie was fishing ono
day, and mentioned his desire and the
barrier to its enjoyment 60 his guide, a
lanky aud sorrowful "cracker."
ooh, I kin fix No'-all up all right" tho
guide drawled, and led the way to q beau
tiful little lake some distance back from
the river. "Ain't nary snake in hyah,'
he said.
The Northcrncr enjoyed halr-houl :
sport in the clear water. and then coming
to the white sand beach began to dress.
lie then observed that what he had taken
to be several logs floating upon the water

This is the conclusion arrived at by the

THE interest in forestry is rapidly in

Sins Viewed Differently.

In speaking Of the necessity OF the
leaders being strong men and carefully
observant of themselves that they set
no bad example, Apostle Lyman in
dicated the attitude OF the public
toward the church and officials. For
instance, II he should commit some
grievous sin, the cry would be raised
against all Mormondom and the peo.
pie as a whole would have to suffer for
his individual acts. He deprecated this
and said that the Saints themselves
are given to requiring more than they
should. While most are alright on
dress parade, 1t takes business life to
bring to the surface what is in the in
dividual, and in this the speaker felt
there Is room for improvement in all.

Politics sra.rior to HUNGER.


City Solicitor Bruce of Cleveland
once had an opportunity of realizing
the supremacy of politics even over
hunger
He was dining one evening at his
home when the bell rang. His ser.
want went to the door and returned
with the message that a hungry man
solicited the whorewithal to curb a
ravenous appetite. Impressed by such
a strange request he babe the servant
to arrange cold box. The dinner
went on.
Armed with the necessities of life
the servant returned Ito the waiting
man and casually mentioned that Mr..
Bruce said to give the food to him.
Who did you say?" asked the man
in tone audible to Mr.. Bruce in the
dining room.
81 said Mr. Bruce" replied the SER

mot Mr.. Bruce. the Democrat?"
II think he Is Democrat" was the
servants answer.

Smoking, Chewing and Gambling.

Apostle Lyman also spoke against
the use of tobacco. He said that for
the father to smoke and chew meant
to set bad example before the boys.
1t was urged that Logan is a Temple
and model city and he would that
the people might be models In their
conduct before their children and be.

in gambling as is done in some cities
Also govern your tongues. Speak
good, not evil: promote peace, pour oil

should try to do good TO your fellow

A Good Word for GentiIeS.

Apostle Lyman said there are prob
ably 500 In this vicinity who are not
Latter-day Saints and he would war
rant that they are pretty good people,
and people not given to drinking a
great deal. Gas rule they are good
citizens" said the speaker, many Of
them as good as we are and
some of them as just as honest as they
can be-" Here the speaker got back
onto the saloon question again saying
that five saloons are reproach to Lo-
gan--even one would be reproach.
He advised the men that their wives
and families need the money spent In
the saloons. "Men are not justified In
spending their money In saloons and
we as people are not justified In up
holding them. / presume ! like the
stuff sold as well as you do, but hold

Favorite Russian Dishes.

Russians are past mistresses in the
art OF preserving vegetables and
fruits, as, on account OF the severe
winters, II is necessary for them tc
lay in great stores. Perhaps the most
curious are preserved Russian cucum
bers. about three inches long aud in
shape resembling dwarf vegetable
marrows. These are placed in a two
gallon stone jar in layers, divided
from each other by leaves of the oak
cherry tree and black currant The
first and last named are supposed to
give a pleasant flavor to the vege.
table. while the cherry leaves prevent
the cucumbers getting soft. When the
last layer of leaves is added sailed
cold water is poured over the whole
TO the brim, and piece of wood--leav.
