Dicks Brilliant Scheme.

Dick had no father, and OCCASION
ally the fact worried him. One day
his mother fell i'll, and some one in
cautiously commented On the sad
state of affairs if his mother, too,
should die. Dick said nothing, but
he kept up great thinking. When
his mother was quite well again one
night at dinner Dick, who was seven
years old, suddenly broke the ST.
lence with the question, Mamma,
why don't you marry again ?" When
the laugh which this unexpected
query raised had subsidized his moth
er asked Dick why he wanted her
to marry. "Well," was his slow re-
sponse, showing that he had careful
ly thought it all out, ''then I'd have
papa, and if you died he could
marry another lady, and she'd be
my mamma, and if he died she could
marry man, and SO I'd always have
a papa and mamma" And then
Dick looked grieved because his fam
lily all laughed harder than they had
before at this continuous parent ar
rangement of his.

Orioin of Dolly.

The word "doily" is used con-
stantly, and yet few know the quaint
story of its origin. In the time of
William the Norman, Robert d'Oy-
ley was one of his followers, and
valuable lands at Hook Norton, in
Oxfordshire, were granted him upon
a curious condition. Each year at
the feast of st. Michael he was to
''make tender of linen tablecloth
worth 8 English shillings." As they
went to royalty, the ladies of the
D'Oyley family took great pride in
embroidering the "quitrent cloths"
as they were termed, and in conse-
quence an art needlework collection
of great beauty was accumulated by
these annual tributes. They did
service for state occasions in Will
liam the Norman's household and,
very naturally, were called the
"DOyley linen"

MOTHER BIRDS sTRATAGEM.
Her Clever Method Of Reaching Her
Nest Unobserved.

While strolling on the banks OF
French creek, near Clayton, in com
pany with my wife and a friend we
started woodcock, which feigned
being wounded and gave utterance
to the most plaintive squeaks, from
which we inferred the nest must be
near.
, A short search discovered il among
small bushes on the ground IN a
comparatively exposed position. The
nest contained three eggs, which we,
of course, did not disturb. Leay-
ing the nest for over an hour, | eau
tiously returned and, getting on my
hands and knees, crept within ten
feet of it without disturbing the old
bird. After watching her for about
ten minutes l saw her stand up in
the nest and with her bill and one
foot change the position of two OF
the eggs, after which she settled
back on the nest.
She then evidently saw me, for
she gave a sudden twist sideways
with her head and then slowly and
cautiously stretched out as fat as
possible, her bill resting fiat on the
ground. She remained thus for
fully five minutes. Presently |
arose from my position and stepped
forward, when the bird quietly
sneaked away from the nest, SEEM
ing to crouch as near the ground as
possible until about twenty feet
away, when she arose with the usual
cry, but Immediately fell to the
ground, tluttered up and down and
finally turned over on her back, flut-
tering her wings as if in the last
agony, but as l approached she
scrambled away, dragging one wing
on the ground until she had led me
fully 900 yards from the nest, when
suddenly she bade me au revoir and
darted away like a rocket.
Secreting myself some distance
from the nest, in fourteen minutes
1 was surprised to see her sitting on
it as before being disturbed, but
how she reached there / am unable
to say, as l did not see her approach,
and half minute before her ap-
pearance on the nest nothing was
to be seen or heard. As the woods
were open, l had an excellent op-
portunity of watching her interest
ing maneuvers and had hoped to be
able to note the manner in which
the return would be made.-Forest

All are Discharged.

The district attorney last Monday
dismissed the cases against James
0 'Neill, Sam Scoville and Fred
Metzer, charged with the murder
Of Jack, Boyle few months ago.
There was not sufficient evidence
against the men to justify the dis
trict attorney to 60 to trial with the
cases.
Jack Boyle, 1t will be remembered
was shot while seated at the supper
table in the William Ketchum
ranch in the Chalk Bluff country.
Suspicious pointed to O'Neill, be-
cause OF the known, enmity be-
tween the two men, but as the
three men, under suspicion were
able to establish pretty good alibis,
the mystery of the shooting is as
deep as ever.

Experimenting.

''That face would stop a clock, /"

glancing from window at an unbe-
coming pedestrian.
'Why, papa ?" asked the little cur

craning his neck to catch glimpse.

swered the father absentmindedly.
1t was that evening that the fa-
ther came downstairs after dressing
for dinner to find his boy standing
at tiptoe on a hall chair staring up
at the big round face of the grand
father clock and giving the most
hideous twists to his pretty baby
face.
''What in the world are you doing,
boy?" asked the surprised father.

CAiamitous,

One day Dutchman, in his shirt
sleeves, was shaving himself before
the glass. His hand trembled SO
that he cut off the tip of his nose.
The pain caused him to drop his
razor, which fell on his foot and
cut off a portion of his big toe. He
promptly picked up the two frag-
ments, applied them, still warm, to
the open sores and bound them up.
A fortnight later on removing the
bandages he discovered, to his hor-
ror, that he had made a mistake.
He had put the toe in the place of
his nose, and vice versa. Now when
he wants to scratch his nose he is
obliged to take off his boot.-From

THE PORTLAND VASE.
A Masterpiece That Long Puzzled An
tiquarians of Europe.


The workmanship of the Port
land vase and the material of which
it is composed long exercised the
ingenuity of some of the greatest
antiquarians in Europe. Breval be-
lieved it to be chalcedony; Bartol,
Montfaucon and others, sardonyx;
Count Fezi, amethyst; DE la
Chausse and Nilsson, agate, while
Venuti decided that it was paste.
Wedgwood's examination of the vase
proved the last opinion to be the
correct one. A layer of white glass
had been fused on dark blue body,
the exquisite figures being after
ward produced in this layer by cut
ting down to the blue by the gem
engraver, after the manner OF real
canoes. Wedgwood also discovered
that the vase had at some time been
broken and repaired. 1t was his opln-
ion that the head which formed the
bottom of the vase was a piece OF
some other work that had been cut
down and inserted in the place of
the original bottom, which had prob
ably been destroyed at the time the
vase itself was broken.
By the autumn of 1889 Wedg-
wood, after many failures, had sue
ceeded in his arduous undertaking,
and the first perfect copy, made in
the famous jasper ware, was finish
ed. Several more copies were sub
sequently made, though the exact
number does not seem at all certain.
These were Of various degrees of
perfection and varied in size and
color. Originally sold at from 80 to
so guineas each, according to excel
lence of finish, time has, of course,
considerably enhanced their value,
and some years ago, at the sale of
the Martineau collection, one sold
for 1894.
In 1910 the Duke of Portland
placed the vase in the British mu-
scum, where some thirty-fve years
afterward it was wantonly broken
to atoms by drunken visitor. After
being skillfully repaired it was
placed for additional safety with the
gems.
Authorities are by no means
agreed as to the subject of the bas-
relief, though various explanations
have been offered. According to the
museum catalogue, the composition
represents on the diverse Thetis
consenting to be the bride of Paleus
in the presence of Poseidon and
Eros; on the reverse, Peleus and
Thetis on Mount Pelion, and on the
bottom of the vase (now detached)
a youthful bust of Paris.

SMITHFIELD, Oct. 2.--The
county convention convened,
committed itself to, on the whole,
a strong ticket and is now part of
Cache county history. Smithfield,
with its 10 votes, failed to land
anything but the treasurership,
which is, no doubt, all we deserv-

the best possibly on the county
ticket, but benefits the town col
lectively less than any of the
county offices. John p. Toolsen
received the nomination for
treasurer. and is a good man for
the Office. Tie will fill the posi-
ton acceptably and creditably,

good Republicans.
