From Farm and Ranch.
A chemical weed killer has been devel-
oped or tested by the Wisconsin expert
ment station In attempts to kill wild mus
tard, cookie burr, yellow dock. etc. The
peculiar thing claimed for this poison is
that when sprayed on a growing grain
crop infested by weeds 1t kills the weeds
without injury to the cultivated crop. The
solution used consists of 100 pounds of iron
sulphate dissolved In fifty-four gallons OF
water, which amount will spray an acre.

1.-THE WIFE,"

1t is a matter of regret that the
popular stock company now playing at
the Salt Lake theatre in the drama OF
real life are so soon to leave us. Dur
ing the past week the public has
shown its appreciation by large audi
ences to witness the production of
THE Wife," Miss Edna Ellsmere as
the wife of U. S. Senator John Ruther-
ford, sustained her part nobly and dis
played a perfect conception of her
character, especially at the closing
scene. She is beautiful woman
speaks distinctly, and is graceful with
out any attempt at affectation. Daniel
Gilfeather is an actor of exceptional
ability, having a good voice and ply
sique especially adapted to heroic
parts, swaying the audience with the
ever changing emotions of the charac-
ter of the husband. Mr.. Mayall dis.
plays his versatility and ability in the
role of Matthew Culver, the scheming
politician, whose villainy was the
cause of all the tragic interest, with
calm and quiet deliberation greatly to
be admired-even as a villain Mr..
MacLean, in the part of the injured
lover, Robert Gray, demonstrated the
fact that as a personator and dramatic
actor in general he is a man of fine
abilities. Miss Mabel Florence as
usual is delightfully."- pleasing in her
gushes of enthusiasm; in fact, every
actor deserves credit for his work.
The company is made up of agreeable
people and clever artists, who will pre-
sent during the coming week the ia
nous play, Men and Women" We
deplore their approaching departure,
but extend our best wishes for their
success.

said, Papa, hain't God good? He's
gooder than thought he was. Do you
think he sent little brother anything"
Il told her she might go over to her
grandma's, where brother was visiting,
and find out. Presently she returned,
with her face all covered with happy
slhiles, and exclaimed, %, papa! God

A Ripping Dream.

When my uncle first started in
l"siness as general merchant in a
c@rntry town it was in partnership
v;h a young fellow of about his own
age.
Both boys were very enthusiastic
about their work, and after long days
behind the counter they would go to
their room above the store and con-
t:nue to talk shop" far into the night.
My uncle's partner was particularly
engrossed in his work, and often his
sleep was disturbed by dreams of Gus
toners and E'g sales.
One night his Nightmare reached
the climax. Evidently the dreamer
was just in the act of selling some
cotton goods, for my uncle felt his
night shirt go "r-i-i-p," straight up the
back, while his partner was calmly
saying:
