While out West several months ago.
Richard LIeber believes that he encoun-
tered the biggest liar in the United
States.
He was one of those fellows" said
Mr.. Lieber. who has always had an
experience little more exciting than
tho experience related by 56omeone else.
Some ono told bear story and the liar
followed Immediately.
al was picking berries across tho
mountain there one time" said the liar,
when big grizzly came rushing at me.
I didn't see where he could have come
from. In fact ] didn't atop TO see. We
went down the side OF the mountain like
wildfre and there was never time when
couldn't feel his hot breath against the
back Of my neck. But I got away all
right"
"How?' asked companion.
why, you see. when We got TO the bot
tom of the valley l found that there was
just enough ice Oh the river to bear
me up, but that It was so thin that the
bear. which was much heavier, went
through. I ran right away from him"
Now, you're q liar" said one Of the
party. You just said that you were
picking berries when the bear started at
ter you
"Oh, WELL" said the liar. that ls true
enough. But the bear chased me from
August until January"

THE WAY OF A WOMAN.

The world is full OF heroines
Whose brav' 'ry none can doubt,
IN circuses they face the lions,
At home put thieves to rout
But when the storm has passed away,
The trouble disappears,
Why is il that they always say:
She then burst forth in tearsi'
A sudden panic thrills the school,
The children rush TO death:
The gentle teacher. calm and cool
Controls them with her breath.
But when the horrid fear is quellcd.
The tumult once more sleeps,
Why is IL, by some force impelled
She sits right down and wccpsl
Tho FIRE is burning in the MILL
The terror stricken run
To dash pcll-mell across tho sill -
And perish every one,
A woman leaps before their path;
They stop, in ordered streams
They file TO safety from death wrath,
While she sits down and screams.
I guess, from Helen, fair, OF Troy,
Unto Joan of Arc,
Twas ever womans way of JOY
To move In mysteries dark
No doubt, when Mollie Pitcher, bold
In battles blood was painted.
She fought like Amazons OF old
And went right home md fainted

ANGRY MORMON.

Former Mormon continues his
outspoken utteranccs against the fall
lacies perpetrated by the Deseret News
and accepted by credulous Mormon
following. ''Former Mormon pro-
fesses to find the situation excruciat-
ingly funny, but IN reality he is very
angry. Like many Gentiles, he would
see plenty Of amusement in the present
situation if il were not for the tragic
consequences upon the Mormon people
themselves. Tho Deseret News uses
arguments which can Immediately be
turned against itself and yet its read
ers are so lacking in powers of penc-
tration and logic that they permit the
argument TO support the News while
attacking its opponents.
However ludicrous it may be it gives
Just incense to ''Former Mormonn to
find that the same old deceits that were
practiced OH him are practiced on other
people who are sincere in their belief
and who continue to be misled by the
artful sophist who writes for the church
organ.
For instance, the other day a Nor
mon missionary died under very dis
tressing circumstances and his body
was returned home to his sorrowing
family; and the Deseret News told how
his mission In this world had been ac-
complished and the Lord sent for him
to occupy higher place behind the
veil and to teach a higher doctrine
there. If that young man had been
the son of an apostate the whole church
would have been taught that his death
was a punishment for his father IS sin.
If apostates grow rich the News testi.
hes that all is vanity, and they are
merely being tried by the wealth of
this world so that they may be
more completely condemned here
after. But when the President of
the church, the prophet, the seer,
and revelator, becomes swollen with
wealth-is trust magnate in
nearly all things, including wives and
children, the News claims that these
blessings prove that he is doing God g
service in this world and that all things
will be multiplied to him hereafter.
And thus the News goes on, blasphem-
| ously mixing God with the everyday
affairs Of the church, in it's condemna-
tion of men who oppose the church and
| in its commendation OF men who up
! hold the church, changing the argument
either way and assuming constantly
that the Almighty Father Of all man
kind has no better business than to
reward Mormons and punish Gentiles,
and assuming for the All Wise that
when aflliction comes to Mormons, He,
the Omniscient, intends it as blessing
and when prosperity comes to Gentiles,
He, the Omniscient, intends it as
curse. ,.a.
OF all the. ridiculous fallacies that
were ever misused as religion, the
present teaching Of the Deseret News
that there is divine appointment given
unto the present prophets, seers, and
revelators, by which they are charged
10 govern the world with superior
righteousness and with superlative wis
dom, is the most absurd. The whole
thing is commonplace-from the COM
monplace prophet, who is a fugitive
| from the law and who is commonplace
offender Of the statutes against moral
| ity, down to the commonplace editor
of the commonplace News, who pre-
tends to be disciple of the Christ and

NATIONAL INSURANCE LAW.

OWTNHEU
The American Bar association reached
no conclusion on the subject OF insur-
ance legislation The committee on that
subject reported In favor OF National
law for tho supervision OF Interstate
transactions in insurance. This raised a
question too large for immediate action
but the association made It special or
der after the annual address at the next
convention, That will insure its con-
sideration at that time and a great and
irreconcilable difference OF opinion is to
be expected when the debate is on

HOW TINE FLIES.

Senator Platt, on his seventy third
birthday was being congratulated by some
reporters at the Oriental hotel at Man

Life said the Senator, ''ls a leetIng

He smiled.
Imagine he said, how Impressed
with times flight old Henry Skerritt of
Oswego was. Henry ran away from his
family year after his marriage, That
was about 1880. and few months ago,
taking up n local paper in Chicago, the
deserter read in the personal column:

years ago deserted his poor wife and

entire back of the card is covered with

wreath OF glowing holly, which con-
trasts wildly with the colors in the
