as education was concerned She
knew but few of the girls of the neigh
borhood, and her friends were chief
ly among her fathers friends and
business associates whom she met at
the house. She presided over her ia
theirs establishment, lavished her al
lowance on dress, and "bossed the
ranch" as she expressed 1t.
1t happened that one of her chief
delights was to ride with her father
in his light runabout while he visited
the houses he was building, and in
this way she impressed her image
upon scores of hearts in many parts
of Brooklyn. Her father, who still re-
garded her as "h,s baby" and forgot
that she had grown up and become a
beautiful young woman, was puzzled
because so many of the young archi-
tects and builders that he met in a
business way came dropping into his
house in the evenings to talk over un.
important matters of business with
him, and then promptly forgot why
they had come and turned the music
at the piano while Miss Strain played.
And among those that came were

Brooklyn.-There are three new,
beautiful houses in Brooklyn that
bear FOR Sale signs in their win
dows. There are three disconsolate
young architects who built these
houses, but VINO never so near them.
And in little three-room Hat in the
flatbush district Mr. and Mrs. Give
Stevenson are happy.
1t was TOR Mrs. Cnye Stevenson that
the three homes were built-or rather
Tor Miss Helen Strain. Or rather, TO
be exact, one was built for Mrs. Hen
~ l.. Ryder, another for Mrs. Noble
4. Shaw, and yet another for Mrs. NJ
l.. Pettingill. But then Mrs. Steven
son. Miss Strain, Mrs. Ryder, Mrs
Shaw and Mrs. Pettingill are all the
same person. she was Miss Strain,
she became Mrs. Stevenson, and the
tnree architects who built the three
houses expected her to become Mrs.
Ryder, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Pettinglll.
Was a Spoiled Beauty.
Miss Strain was d beauty, and Mrs.
Stevenson is a beauty, and she would
have been beauty II she had become
Mrs. Ryder, Mrs. Shaw or Mrs. Pet
tingill. And, being a beauty, she was
spoiled, although few months ago
it would have been hard to convince
Stevenson, Ryder Shaw or PettingilI
that she was spoiled-or anything else
than the personihcation of perfection
in femininity-and Stevenson still be-
lieves she is perfect. She is now %
years old, tall, slender, graceful, and
as pretty as a girl may be.
She was the daughter of Benjamin
Strain-he signs it Benj.-wno is a
contractor and builder living on East
ern parkway. Her mother died when
the girl was small. She was raised
by her father, assisted by housekeep-
ers, who bowed down before Miss
Strain, and the father granted her
every desire. She was a sweet tenn
pered, good natured, merry. lovable
girl-especially lovable-as Is proved
by the experiences Of Stevenson, Ry-
der, Shaw and Pettingill, but, having
had her own way all her life, she con-
tinued to have it.

TO ENCOURAGEMENT,

Inc announcement during the week
that the recently destroyed plant of the
Utah Packing company is to be re-
built on bigger and even more COM
plete scale was most welcome news.
The loss of the plant by fire was re-
garded by all Utah people as a calam-
ity; by many of them it was thought
to be irreparable. Pluck and perse-
verance have conquered all difficulties,
however, and within a year the pack
ing house will be in full operation.
The fact that it was possible to raise
the necessary funds so promptly is an
indication of the promoters faith in
the future of the state and of this par
ticular section Of the state. And really
there is abundant justification for this
faith. We have been told that the cleo
ton of this political ticket or that
would do much to help the common
wealth. Nor do we doubt that the au-
thors of the statements sincerely be-
lieved them. But no political organi-
zation can hold Utah back.
the new packing plant is an indication
of the fact. That plant is entitled to
and should receive encoura cement from
citizens of every class. The Herald
hopes there will be no unreasonable
delays in completing the work of con-
struction and equipment. We hope
too, that when it is all ready to turn
out its products the people will give
it a most generous patronage.
There are enough meat eaters in this
section of the country TO keep the plant
busy. AS it prospers the raisers of
live stock will prosper, the farmers who
raise feed will prosper, and, inciden-
tally, share of the profit will find its
way into the pockets of nearly all of
us

AN OLD Theory SHATTERED.

Don't you remember when you were
boy, or girl as the case may be,
how they used to comfort you when
you had a boil by telling you that every
boil was worth $50 You would rather
have had the s. than the boil, but you
tried to cheer UP on the theory that
through the boil your system was be-
ing cleansed of impurities. Your dear
mother used to say TO you, playfully,
It's just the meanness coming out
of you
And so you worried along until the
time came for you to go down to the
old Doctors office and have the blame
thing lanced. How you twisted and
groaned and yelled as the keen, curved
blade ripped into the sore spot And
you groaned again as the doctor
squeezed your boil and reduced that
particular section OF your anatomy to
fits normal condition. But you were
soothed and comforted, as we have
said, by the thought that now you
were healthier than ever
Now comes DR.. Hirshberg, who tells
us in the American magazine that the
boil is not sewer outlet at all. 1t
is simply a case of ''exfoliated derma-
tits" Il you know what that means.
It does not come through any interior
disarrangement at all, but goes in from
the outside through the skin, germ
having found its way into an abrasion.

Hirshberg's theory. For, i'm the same
article i'm which he expounds it, he
gives Il as his solemn opinion that the
wart of boyhood cannot be eliminated
by means of charms. The absurdity of
this proposition very naturally causes
us 10 disbelieve everything else DIR.
Hirshberg says. It almost causes us
to doubt his sanity.
Doesn't every boy know at least a
dozen infallible charms for the removal
of warts? Isn't it a fact that if you

WILL DESTROY A SHRINE.

dlSpatch from New York says:
The little matched cottage at East
Hampton, Long Island. in which John
Howard Payne, author of Home, Sweet
Home, lived in his early years and
winch, when he was a wanderer on the
race of the globe, inspired his immor-
tai ballad, is to be destroyed. The site
on which 1t has stood so many years
has been purchased, and the structure
will be torn down and a church erected
in it's place"
The millions of people who have been
moved, even to tears, by Payne's song
or home, will regard the proposition
to tear down that little cottage, even
to make room for church, as a sac
rilege- That cottage should be pre-
served for all time as shrine if Amer
leans have spark of sentiment in their
hearts. Room can always be found
Tor churches, but there is only one
John Howard Payne cottage.
Home, Sweet Home" There is a
wealth of tenderness in the simple
words. Who has not been thrilled by
the song. Mid pleasures and palaces
although we may roam, be it ever SO
humble there's no place like hime."
Was there ever anything truer than
that
"A charm from the skies seems to hall
low us there,
! Which sought through the world is
ne'er met with elsewhere"
And the refrain,
Home, home, sweet, sweet home.
There's no place like home,
There's no place like home"
John Howard Payne knew what if
meant to wander far from home; he
knew the bitter loneliness that comes
to a stranger in strange land. And
he wrote Home. Sweet Home" from
the depths Of his heart, though he could
not have dreamed of the appeal il
would make to those of his own gene
ration and the countless generations
unborn. And what a cruel tragedy II
was that this man who loved his home
so dearly had to die in northern At
RIGA, far away from the little matched
cottage.
Payne died poor and alone, save for
his faithful Arab dragomen. For more
than thirty years his body lay beneath
the roses, the heliotropes and the car
nations in the little garden he had ten
derby cherished. Then the coffin was
disinterred and in June, 1888, it was
reinterred in Arlington cemetery in
| Washington, while thousands stood
with heads barred and tears streaming
down their countenances as they sang
! Home, Sweet Home"
John Howard Paying capped no f1nan-
cial reward from the gong that will
never die as long as human beings have
homes to leave, homes to which they
long to return. He sold the opera that
contained it, "Clari," to Charles KEN.
BILE, for $50. The opera has been for
| gotten for generations. The song lives
| on.
And now they talk of tearing down
the matched cottage, the cottage that
| ought to be a mecca and a shrine fol

| plan should be abandoned? Don't you
believe the American people would con-
tribute almost any sum to save that
