Tragic Climax of Sagaci0Ws Cows
Attempt to Emulate City Workers
By MARTHA s. BENSLEY

What do ye think she done it fer? The old
must be crazyl
1t is ever thus Those whose unselfshness leads
them to live for others are prone to be msunder-
stood. Those whom they try to uplft suspect
them of unworthy motives, and the Philistine out
siders doubt their sanity. l would at least fight
against this state of things, and so dipped my tail
in the milk-pai1 and dealt him a Christening blow
in the face; but even that was an inadequate
expression of my feelings.
After several more unsuccessful efforts in the
way of voice training, and attempt to form an
Art Club, Brindle and decided that it was better
to begin with fundamentals, and turned atten-
ton to their food 1t is easy to understand that
the absorption of beautiful and poetic milkweed
would be uplifting, while the boiling of dis
carded griddle-cake would drag down to its
own level We realized that it was better to teach
by example rather than precept, and so Brindle
and | cropped clean grass and luscious cowslips in
the face of every pig in the pasture; cropped them
with mouths in self-supporting way
instead of waiting to have them served to us by the
pauperizing hand of man, and stood about conspic-
uously and | may say audlbly chewing cud while
they were guiding at the troughs. We knew that
we were right in this matter of diet because were
elevated while they degraded swine
But alasl noble efforts seemed entirely without
uplifting effect. Not single hog had l seen brows-
ing among the cloVers, and even the youngest pig
had not taken to cud-chewing.
In Encouragement Brndle and talked over the
matter with dear Hereford III. He wasn't much
in sympathy with the Settlement Idea-said it
was more of unsettlement than anything he had
ever heard of--but he agreed that per-
fect1y justified in using physical force to change
the diet of those pigs if thought it had to be
done.
Encouraged by this, Brind1e and few laps
around the pasture to get ourselves in training
and then seeing the Hired Man coming toward the
sty with his ignoble cans we sailed forth The
pigs were usual squealing and crowding around
their degrading food when rushed in among
them. They seemed annoyed-annoyed and irri-
tated at coming. 1t was hard work to get them
away from that man-bestowed mess; had to
push and kick, and even to prick some of the more
refractory with horns, which showed deplor-
able blindness and ngratitude on their part and
wounded me deeply. At last by quick and con-
certed action got them all away, and then stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, with lowered horns and
stamping feet, we kept them at bay. Every little
while some especially daring gluttonous pig
would dash forward but always managed to
stop him before he got past
We had thought that this action of would
show them the of their ways; that in very
shame they would turn to sweet grass and
wholesome water to appease their hunger; but
after we had stood on guard an hour and the igno
rant Hired Man had tried in vain to drive away,
not enc of them had the situation in the proper

died closer together and shook with
agitation. Again l "Moo-o-oed," try
ing to divide the sound into syllables
and to enunciate clearly; but my only
response was a chorus of shrill squeals.
Again and again | repeated my re-
marks, with the same result. All the
afternoon l "Mooed"; all the after
noon they squealed and tried to get
away; and at the end of the day |
was forced to admit that no single pig
had attempted to Moo" in accordance
with my instructions. Twas thoroughly
exhausted with my efforts, and it was
an added aggravation to have the Hired
Man say to Farmer Asreal Hopkins at
milking-time:
What do we think see this after
noon?"

Those pigs, instead of welcoming her
as an up1ifter, had resented her COM
ing-had said that she crowded them,
and had tact1essly suggested that she
60 away. When she persisted in stay
ing, they simply turned their backs on
her and went to sleep, making her feel
quite de rop. She hadn't even been
able to find spot to lie down in and
had had to stand leaning against the
fence all night.

My heart was gladdened with happy vision in

I HAVE never known another COW OF so sensitive
and beautiful disposition Brindle, though
it may seem like family boast for me to say
so as she is my half-sister. All summer Brinde
spent at the Lakeside Camp where the clubs from
the Brown Street Settlement came for their out
ings and in the fall she returned to imbued with
the Settlement Idea.
She explained it to all at milking time, and
showed how kind-kind and noble it was to uphft
the Masses to mingle, you may say, with those
who lived in squalor and dirt; and to grovel in
the mire. 1t beautiful idea-beautiful and
exalting, the way Brindle put it, and l got so
excited that didn't notice that the Hired Man

Why, here was the most perfect dirt and squalor
that you could ask for. And didn't they eat from
the pauperizing hand of man, instead of noby
getting their own living? Nobody could have
exactly what we had been looking for and hadn't
known it. It's likely to be that way-you want

Easter a Movable Feast.

Easter Sunday is movable festival,
and cannot come earlier than Mar -
or later than April %, but between
these dates it has range Of thirty-iive
days. Al the time of the council of
Nice, A. D., 325 IL was agreed by the
representatives present that from that
time forward Easter should fall on the
first Sunday after the full moon
Occurring on or next after March 81,
or in other words, ION the first
full noon after the sun crosses the
line"-which it does on March 2l.
Since the above arrangement was
adopted by the great ecclesiastical
council referred to, Easter has fallen
on March %, and on every date be.
tween that and April %, its latest
possible date, an event which had not
occurred before during the nineteenth
century and which will not occur
again until the spring of 1913, The
last time Easter fell on its earliest
date was in 1918. This will not hap
pen again during this century or the
next. In 1895 Easter fell on March %.

Expert in Charge.

The shop is in charge of Jacob
Schaub, of Penny Camera" fame,
and he is undoubtedly genius of the
first order. Mr.. Schaub has done u
number of exceptionally fine pieces of
work requiring technical skill, and is
the admiration of prominent manu-
facturers who have continually had to
send to other cities for repairs. Mr..
Schaub is of an inventive turn of
mind and has number of patents.
He guarantees to duplicate any piece
Of machinery that his equipment will
enable him to handle and this EN-.
braces anything from fixing pair OF
scissors to an automobile or the best
piece Of machinery at the Telluride

Good Equipment.

While all the machinery to be in.
stalled has not yet reached Logan on
account Of eastern manufacturers be-
ing so far behind with orders, a very
excellent equipment is now ON hand
and the work room presents a most
interesting appearance.
An Universal" milling machine,
the latest of its kind, and capable of
doing most varied lot work, enables
the shop to turn out work wonder
full in its character. On this can be
cut from steel or brass any sized gear
wheel absolutely perfect in construc-
tion. This is the only machine Of its
kind in the state, with the single ex.
ception of one at Silver Bros. in Salt
Lake, and it has enabled the Schaubs
to do very difficult repair work for the
Logan Knitting factories, the Tellu-
ride and city power plants, Logan
sugar factory, and other large concerns
using intricate machinery.
Machines capable of boring in steel
any sized hole from that Of needle to
foot in diameter is another time
saver and decidedly interesting when
at work.
A 10 ton power press for stamping
purposes and the Strengthening OF
bent shafts, band saw for wood work,
turning lathes of different sizes, and

sent equipment.

Another Excellent Plant
Schaub Machine CO. Doing Fine Class Of
Work and Prospecting Nicely.

Speaking OF new industries or grow
ing concerns in Logan, the Schaub
Machine Co., in the Wilkinson build.
ing on First West street, is worthy
no little favorable comment. This
concern is of comparative recent or.
igin but OF rather extensive scope and
doing a business of no little magni-
tude The firm handles the very high.
est grade of machine work, the class
that has heretofore gone to Salt Lake,
Denver and San Francisco houses, and
is filling a long felt want.

Good Business.

During the past few weeks the
Schaub concern has had more business
than could be turned out. Many bust
ness men here have warm words of
praise for the character of the work
done, saying that the shops fills long
felt need. There is no longer the ne.
cessity for a great delay in securing
machinery from other points and
many dollars are saved
1t is to be hoped that the business
will continue TO grow until il employs
many skilled mechanics.

Result OF Failure.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Schaub was the inventor Of penny
camera, and that local company was
organized here a year or so ago to cx-
plot this and a patent plate holder.
The Eastman camera trust got in its
work, and though MIR Schaub'S pater t
holder is the best thing of its kind
ever produced, he is unable to get it
on the market.
AS a result the company wound up
its affairs a couple Of months ago, los.
ing from $1,000 to $1,000 and this ma
chine company is sort of outgrowth.

About Advice.

"One of the biggest mistakes In
life," said Spurgeon, next to believ.
ing that some folk know better than
ones self, is not believing that others
do know better" The difficulty in get.
ting good advice is just the difficulty
in finding who is really clever enough
to give it, and who is interested in
one enough to give it, or honest
enough to give it. The man who will
not ask his way often finds himself in
a hulniliating position. Advice light
ly and recklessly given stamps the
giver as INSCRIPTIONS, just as advice
lightly sought stamps the seeker as
fool.

WARSH|PS WILL MAKE A BIC
 SHOWING
Serious Situation Presents lt-
 self in Moroccan Affairs
 Diplomats at Tangier Have Protested to Sultan.

GIBRALTAR, Nov. 1.-The British Atlantic fleet Is to leave here for Tan giers in conjunction with a French fleet of warships. It will engage ill a demonstration in Moorish waters.
 The British warships were provis- toned tonight on very short nocics.
 During the last few months condi- tions in the inteiior of Morocco have constantly grown worse. Foreigners have been assaulted and outraged, towns have been raided, Jews have been prosecuted, foreign vessels on the coast have been fired upon and while the diplomats of the powers concerned protested to the Sultan, their demands have been received with slight attention. Agitation against foreigners is reported to be on the in- crease and Spain has found 1t neces- sary to send a warship to the Moroc- can coast to remove Spanish subjects.
 The insurgent Iribesmen have been active In creating disorder among themselves, and the forces of the Sul- tan and those under Bu-Hanara, pre- tender to the throne, have come in contact in recent months with victory first on one side and then on the other.
 Diplomats at Tangier have protested more than once to the Moroccan au- thorities against the lack of protection for foreigners, but no improvement has been forthcoming.
 In fact. the local authorities nave been increasingly aggressive and even insolent in their treatment of the local representatives of France and Spain. France already has one or two cruis- CTS in Moroccan waters.
 The American minister to Fez under the American minister to Morocco, Mi. Gummerye, is at the capital for pur- pose, among other things, of obtaining a satisfactory assurance for the safety of Americans in Morocco as well as indemnity for outrages committed in Morocco upon persons under Ameri- can protection.

MURAT MASTERSON IS VISITING PHOENIX He Had Much To Do With Ari- zona Affairs in the
 Early Days,

Hon. Murat Masterson of Colorado Springs, is in Phoenix on legal busi. ness, says the Republican. Mir. Mas terson is engaged in the practice of law at Colorado Springs as counsel
 for several large mining companies.
 He had a great deal to do with this
 territory while it was yet in d plastic
 state. He was . member of the elev-
 enth legislature, president of the coup, 1 cil of that session and was for several terms district attorney of Tavapai county
 With the exception of Judge E. W. Wells, he is believed to be the only one of the old-time lawyers of Pres
 colt now living. And he Is not an old
 man, not quite sixty-three. yet
 He left there about twenty years ago SC that when be came back he did
 not meet many people whom he had
 ever known. But there was one. Cap tain A. F. Banta, with whom he had
 been associated In various enterprises
 during his residence in Prescott.
 In the course of their conversation yesterday. NIT. MaStarson recalled an
 incident reflecting upon the chirogra-
 phy of Captain Banta. There was a
 matter pending in 4ipscIIe county in which they were interested and the csptsIn was looking fster lt. The
 thing was adjusted to his satisfaction
 and he hastened to spprise MT. Mas
 terson of the happy ending of the af- fair. He bastened too much, as the
 sequel disclosed. for when the letter
 reached MT. Masterson at Prescott
 there were only two things about it
 be could understand. One was St. Johns and the date of the letter and l the other was the signature of Cap tain Banta. The letter had the ap- pearance of having been written by
 some one in state of excitement, and
 he not unnaturally feared the worst. There was no railroad anywhere in these days. Accordingly, MT. Master
 son at once set off on horeback across 250 miles of mountains for St. Johns. When he presented himself at the of flee of Captain Banta the latter be trayed surprise. He wanted to know | what had brought him. MT Master | son extracted the letter from his pock-
 e and handed 1t to the captain. The captain could make nothing of it elth- | CT. He mad written letters to Mir. Masterson at one time and another
 on various topics. He recognized his
 own signature and scratched his head
 regarding the body of the letter. Mr Masterson told what he thought Il | night have reference to, whereupon
 the captain remembered 1t and 1t be-
 came like copper plate. Mr. Masterson was blessed to iearn tat their join; ! enterprise had terminated favorI and the next morning he set cut on his return trip.
