Reed Smoot, United States senator
from Utah, is going to hold his job in
Washington because of his striking
personality. And he is "there with
the goods" on personality. 1t was
just year ago that Reed Smoot passed
through Omaha to Salt Lake for his
Christmas vacation. He travelled on
the initial trip of the new Los Angeles
Limited train, the most luxuriant train
on wheels. On that train were q party
of thirty-five newspaper men who
were guests of the Northwestern, I'm
ion Pacific and San Pedro companies
on this first trip down through the
great Death Valley desert, whose route
cuts off eighteen hours in the trip to
southern California. At Salt Lake
Senator Smoot left the train. He had
made friends with the newspaper men
on the train and they were sorry to
lose him. He was a jolly good fellow
and one of the polite sort of men who
impress you magnetically from the
start. So intimate had the senator
grown that he only laughed when, on
leaving the train, one of the newspa-

Rural mail carriers will make regu-

any other day, not being allowed the
benefit of the holiday by the govern

be pretty good time to remember
the carrier who is obliged to make his
trip in all seasons and under all con-
ditions, rain or shine, heat or cold
Patrons of the rural routes who appre'

a sack of corn, ham, goose or tur'
key, on Christmas morning, or any
other article which would prove OF
use to man or beast. These carriers
work for salary of $50 month and
to earn this amount every thirty days
the carrier must not only put in his
whole time but he must keep ut least
three horses and his wagon, all an item
of expense and constantly cutting into
his wages. A Christmas. present to
the mail carrier would certainly be the
right thing to do and would no doubt
be appreciated. Anent the same sub

We lately spent an evening with a
divorced man. He was in confiden-
tial mood, and said: 81 am a whited
sepulchre, and make no claims to good
ness, but l enjoy being a grass wild
over. For years l didn't get along
with my former wife although she was
a good woman. | could find no fault
with her except that she expected too
much of me. Occasionally | took a
shot gun on snowy Sunday and went
to look for rabbits. 1t Mortified her.
She didn't want to shoot rabbits on
Sunday and couldn't understand why
should want to do such a dreadful
thing. When anything went wrong
around our house and nearly every
thing went wrong, she could prove
that | was to blame, although 1t
seemed to me | was not always to
blame. | became so tired of the strug-
gle that | almost screamed with agony
every time | thought of our unhappi-
ness Now that it is all over, | am
almost willing to accept the blame.
Certainly, l have no ill-feeling toward
my former wife. But every day | am
grateful that finally she couldn't stand
me any longer and got divorce. l
enjoy freedom as | never enjoyed any,
thing before, l get along better than
ever did, in every respect. And, mind
you, | was married to good woman.
She regarded me as lump of impure
clay to be moulded certain way, and
she was always at me. There never
was a moment when | was not deli
cately reminded of my great wicked
ness; of my impure mind; of my lack
of respect for higher things. And it Is
a curious fact that stand higher with
my fellow men, and behave better, as
grass widower than l ever did as a
married man. My former wife's life
work was to reform me; to save me.
She was conscientious in trying to
make me a better man, but the only
result of her work was to annoy me,
and make me worse. AS said awhile
ago, | never was so grateful for any,
thing as | am for freedom, and nothing
would induce me to run the risk
again"
