She is not lost. you are only parted,
A few short years and all is o'er,
You with your darling will be reunited
Where sad partings are no more.
Her sun went down so early,
Swift as swallows flight,
Eut we know today she is resting
In land that knows no night.
Peacefully sleeping in Jesus,
God knoweth your great loss.
Ask and he will help you
Carry this painful cross.
He in his Infinite Wisdom
Knoweth what is best,
Think of her shining in Heaven
Among the pure and the blest.
God knows the woe in your breaking
heart
He only can understand,
Let your dear wife be guide to you
To fairer, better land.

Met with Serious Injury.

The Soda Springs ball team visited
Montpelier again last Sunday with the
intention of playing two games but the
morning game mad only proceeded as
far as the last half OF the second inning,
when most distressing accident hap
pened to Rem Marriott, member of the
soda team, which put an end to the
game. In attempting to steal to second
base, Marriott in some way turned his
left ankle in such way as to throw the
joint out of place and force the bone
through the skin. The small bone was
also broken at the joint. Mr., Marriott
was carried to room 8 quickly as pos
sible, and Drs. Poynter and King gave
him the best surgical attention possible.
He wins taken to Soda Springs on No. /,
and report from there yesterday stat
ed that he was resting as easily as could
be expected. Unless blood poison sets
in Mr. Marriott will not experience any
serious results from the injury. How
ever, his ankle will always be stiff and
it is certain that Ren's ball playing days
are over.
The Soda team remained and played
the afternoon game, which resulted in a
victory for Montpelier by score of IL
to 10. The visitors had the est of the
game up to the 7th inning when the
score stood 8 to in their favor, but
Montpelier tied the score in that inning
and at the close of the 9th the score
stood 10 to TO- Montpelier scored one
early in the 10th inning and thus ended
the contest.

The Recital

The recital given by Mr.. Richardson's
pupils, Tuesday night, at the opera
house, was success in every respect.
The tone and intelligence of the COM
munity was we'll represented Nearly
every seat was taken before the doors
were open. The pupils ranged in age
from accomplished young ladies in
their teens, to little tot only seven
yeart old. They all acquitted them
selves admirably, the singing being
most ably supported by Mrs. Fed
Cruikshank as accompanist. A piano
solo by little Lillis Crane who is not
much taller than piano stool, created
a sensation, The prolonged applause
that greeted the child frightened her,
but after Mr., Richardson replaced her
at the piano she played even better than
before. Lack of space forbids us to
give mention of each member, but from
all reports those present were not only
pleased but agroeably surprised by the
performance.
An eastern critic who was present
remarked that the recital, and the way
in which it was conducted, would have
been a credit to a much larger CITY
than ours.
Mr.. Richardson desires to heartily
thank all who generously assisted him
in the recital

A zebra always looks TO me like a

we must admit that few human artists
could paint a million zebras and get
the stripes on as perfect as nature
does with her eyes shut. The mule
and the zebra are distant relatives,
cause lots of mules lave a few stripes
on their legs, but the zebra Is the
eldest son who Is aristOcratic and in
herits the stuff, while the mule is the
OUNCE son who never gets a look
in for the money, but has to work
for a living. So it is no wonder to me
that the mule kicks. The zebra is the
dude of the family, and the mule looks
up to him, when he ought to kick his
stats in, and rub out his stripes with
a mule shoe eraser.

Kansas City Sunday morning, and the
management was scared at what pa had

to call off the zebra stunt, but pa said
IL they cut it out the people would

yelled, and our zebras run into the

ting rid of a persistent caller, but 1t
has certainly not grown stale by APP
plication, and has the interest OF an
actual recent occurrence, relates Judge.
The fathers business takes him out
of town a good deal. and the daugh-
ter has a caller with whom there Is
an understanding that it Is only the
final stage before the engagement. The
other night the father served gen
eral notice that he must take an early
train, and must be called for it, The
same evening came the fortunate
young man referred to.
BY ten O'Clock the cid gentleman had
the fdgets, and rapidly reached the
conclusion that his comfort was a
minor consideration in that house
hold. This is not true, but it Is a
conviction that frequently seizes the
head of a family when he Is out OF
SORTS. He slammed several doors as a
reminder to the caller. He raised the
same noisy window three times, and
il always makes more noise when be-
ing lowered. He put out lights wher-
ever they were not an absolute neces-
sity. called to the younger children
that it was high time they we're
asleep. and dropped a shoe every
three or four minutes with a hoFs that
II would serve as a hint.
Wien everything else had failed,
and his patience was about exhausted,
he went to the top of the stairs and
shouted:
"Gladys, did or did | not tell you
To call me at AGO, So that could get
my train?"
"You told me, papa"
"Why in creation didn't you attend
to it, them"
For less than a minute there was
some tall hustling below stairs and
one could have heard a pin drop while
the caller was making his sneak into
outer darkness.

When we got on the main street,
