finest play ever written presented by
the best players. 1t might, however,
be good plan to have law requiring
both participants in prize fight to
fight until both were killed, if such a
thing were possible. That would pre-
vent taking, insure to the audience the
worth of its money and be no loss to
the community at large.
There is a law in this state prohib.
iting prize fighting. The ministers
had a perfect right to invoke that law
and no citizen has any right to blame
them for it, The only objection that
can fairly be urged is that the city
authorities not only led the prize fight
ers to believe that they would be al
lowed to commit the crime they hat
planned, but aided and abetted them il
their unlawful intent. This caused
the fighters and the promoters to LOSE

A LEAF FROM MY JOURNAL.

Soft breathing spring! What
world of hope and tenderness tiny
presence awakens in the most de-
spairing hearts. The pictorial beauty
of Salt Lake City cannot be surpassed
for loveliness and grandeur at this
particular season. The streets and
avenues present vista of arching
trees whose leaves are fresh and
green. The parks are blaze OF gor-
geous coloring. The tulips are almost
riotous in the brilliancy of their scar
let and yellow hues, while the hya-
cinths fill the air with fragrance and
the many-colored pansies delight the
eye. There is a balmy freshness to
the atmosphere too, which is delicious
to feel. From Fort Douglas, one COM
mands superb view of the mountains
surrounding the valley. Their rugged
tips covered with snow present
striking contrast to the flowers bloom
ing beneath so symbolical of youth
and age, spring and winter. This morn
ing l visited Mt. Olivet, "the city of
the dead" AS | entered the impos-
ing entrance gate, surrounded by lilac
| trees, the silent grandeur of the scene
before me, recalled to my mind the
lines from Bryant's "Thanatopsis," so
exquisitely suggestive:
$50 live, that when thy summons
come
To Join the innumerable caravan
Which treads to that pale realm
Sustained and soothed by an unfal-
| tering trust,
Approach thy grave like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch
| about him,
| And lies down to pleasant dreams"
| To pleasant Dreams!
A neat little cottage covered with
vines, stands by the gate and is the
home of the sexton. He and his good
wife have given untiring attention to
the grounds for several years and
have succeeded in making it high
standard of landscape gardening. The
flower beds are planned with artistic
taste. The arrangement of color so
attractive to the eye is skillfully done.
AS l walked through the winding
paths over-arched by weeping willow
branches, the soft wind breathed an
angelus. / visited the grave of Ford
Fisher, the young volunteer, who met
his death so heroically in Manila. At
the foot is a waterfall, which comes
from the mountain canyon, whose wat
ers fall and lull in low musical cad
ence, soothing the slumbers of the
dead with tender lullaby.
A light mist was rising from the
submits Of the mountains, suggesting
the spirit of the mythical mountain
sprite, in which German literature
abounds. AS it gradually disappeared,
the sun cast it's mellow light over
them, until the flecked shadows of the
CULTS and ravines, gave picture Of
Enchanting loneliness.

so willing to lay at the door of the In
finite every disaster, every calamity,
every heart-breaking and grief-produc-
ing event that takes place in this vale
of tears, and who are pointing with
CHASTITY pride and satisfaction to the
alleged fact that San Francisco was a
victim of Divine "visitation")
Who is it, standing in the light,
Dares say twas God this horror
brought;
That He cast DER the city blight,
By His own hand a ruin wrought?
Who thus accuses Loves dear sire
OF being Terror's sponsor grim;
What mortal tempts Infinite ire
By charging murder up to Him?
Whoe'er thou art, where e'er thy place,
In shame thy head hang, erring clod ;
Thou stranger to His glorious face,
1t was not God; it was not God.
What! Say that He, whose gentle
care
Extends to ALL on land and sea,
Denied the mothers wailing prayer
And killed the infant at her knee?
What! Charge that He, the Mighty
One,
Slew both alike, the young and old
The aged parent and the son,
The daughter fair, with hair of gold
Oh, man of wickedness so low,
| Twas not the stroke of chast'ning rod

1t was not God; it was not God.
Who is it, with blasphemous tongue,
Declares that Heavens radiant King
Could from our lips these signs have
wrung,
And to our souls such grief could
bring?
Who boldly says that PHYS Lord
Would fiend shape assume, and roam
With vengeful and terrific sword
From lofty church to humble home
Oh, mortal, who hath yet to know
The path that's e'er by Mercy trod;
Poor fool of this old world below,
You know not God; you know mo-
God.
Nay, twas not God, in fire and smoke
The robes that Ruin oftimes wears
Who laughed at hearts, which, weep
ing, broke,
Mid anguished cries and piteou
| tears.
NO hand bestowed that awful blow,
| No edict came from out Somewhere
Twas Mother Nature in a throe,
! Travelling in conception there.
New lands are daily, hourly born.

SPORTS OF CHILDREN.

Skipping rope Is a childish pastime
Of ancient origin. In place OF rope,
q vine stripped of leaves was original
ly used.
The childish amusement OF riding
cane Is of great antiquity. 1t was
practiced by the children OF Greece
and ancient Rome.
The game of hide and seek Is an
other youthful pastime OF ancient
origin. 1t came from Europe about
the beginning OF the seventeenth CEN
fury.
The spinning of tops, favoritr
amusement among children in tho
spring, also came from the Greeks.
Records show that this kind Of fun
was in vogue at the time of Vergil.
Leap-frog is mentioned in the
works Of both Shakespeare and John
son. 1t has been played by children
from early times, and is still ia.
vorite game with boys.
The flying kite derived its name
from its originally being made to re-
semble that species of bird called a
kite. The amusement Of kite flying Is
about two centuries old in Europe.
Probably 1t originated in China,
where, so records tell, the practice
Of flying kites is very ancient.

Madson-The largest railroads
of the state are to be given
another chance" to show that a
two-cent fare would be disastrous.
Supplementary hearings Will be
granted by the railroad rate com
mission. While continued cor
respondence has been carried on with
the roads relative to these rates, de-
tails have arisen which will ultimately
mean that additional hearings must be
granted No definite time has Deen
set as to when the hearings VIII take
place, but It will follow after the com
missioners have made thorough in
vestigation of the matter. The TWO
cent rate in Wisconsin involves mill
lions of dollars and will be probably
months before the commission Will
have an opportunity to have sifted the
statistics to come to a final decision.
From the present outlook only the
lager roads will be asked to appear
again The points upon which the
commission are undecided and which
the railroads will be asked to answer
will be formulated questions prepared
by the commission. The rate com
mission has under consideration at
this time the grain rates in Wisconsin
and the cheese rates In the southwest
ern part Of the state.
