ed from Europe. She spent the winter
taking a rest-cure in southern Italy, where
her friends hoped that entire change of
scene and experience might in measure
restore her to a normal condition. During
her absence she wrote regularly to her
family and friends, and every word in all
her letters is reversed. so that 1t can only
be read by reflection in a mirror.
The nerve specialists have pronounced her
the reversal of the nerve centers in the
brain. which control the power OF express

underst anding. The arrangement in some
respects is similar to aphaSia, that peculiar
disease which robs people of the power of
speech and memory and often causes them
to lose their own identity and to forget
their homes and friends. In every other
respect the physical and mental condition
of the young lady is entirely normal. She
talks in natural tone and expresses her
self accurately and freely as she always
did In Europe she went sightseeing and
enjoyed herself like any tourist of intelli-
gence. but every object that passed before
her eyes was reversed from left to right.

The Old Way and the New.

Young men and young women used to do
things differently in the old days. 1t is
claimed that love has always been the same
and that the methods of lovers have never
changed, but that Is not true. Today when
a young man makes up his mind he asks
the maiden. and then. with her approval,
he secs the old man." but the odd man"
has very little to say about it. His veto or
approval are purely theoretical. In the old
days the practice was reversed, and the
lover saw the old man first.

XMAS GOODIES
FOR CHILDREN
Inmates of KearnS St. AIMS
0rphanage Made Glad
for the Day.

Hearts of 100 little orphaned children
beat with supreme joy in Kearns st.
AIMS orphanage at 2:S0 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, as they marched into
the darkened room where stood a
Christmas tree blazing with the light
of many candles and laden with pres
ents given by Senator and Mrs. Kearns
for each and every child.
1t was the annual Christmas celebra-
ton at the orphanage, and Senator and
Mrs. Kearns, with their son, Edmund,
and Father Dennis Kelly We're present.
Bishop Lawrence Seaman expected to
be present, but was detained by illness.
To the little tots, the Christmas
tree. sparkling with gold and silver
tinsel and bedecked with beautiful
presents, was a realization of a dream
of fairy land. Each child knew that
among or on those green bOughs hung
some present which he was soon to
calm as his own, and not one was dis
appointed.
The children were dressed for the oc-
casion, and were the happiest band of
little people that could be found in
long time. Mrs. Kearns, assisted by
her son, took the presents from the
tree and distributed them. The happi-
ness that shone from the faces of the
CXrectant little children could never
have equaled the joy of the woman
who removed the presents she with her
own hands had fastened to the tree,
and handed them to the many children.
The children sat in awe. From one
Christmas to another is many months
and they had forgot the past celebra-
tons as they gathered around the tall
tree which is recognized throughout the
world as symbolic of a child's delight
and joy. Oranges, candy and nuts came
from among the boughs as though
fairies hid within and with magic
wands drew them from the air Gust as
fairies Go in story books and handed
them to Mrs. Kearns and her son, who
passed them among the crowd of wait
ing children.
Happiness pervaded the atmosphere
of the room and the Christmas carols
sung by the children rose higher and
sweeter from sheer joy of the occa-
sion. The spirit of Christmas was
deeply felt by everyone present, from
the tiniest tot that gaZed in wonder at
the Pickering lights and could not I'M
derstand, to the big man that sat con-
templaring the delight and joy of every
one about him and was glad of the
happiness his wife had been able to
bring to the hundred and more little
children.
Father Kiely made a short talk to
the children. He spoke of Christmas
and the spirit of giving which this time
of year brings forth and touched on
the generosity of Senator and Mrs.
Kearns.
The tree was denuded of it's presents,
which were to be found tightly grasped
in the hands of the satisfied children,
before the ceremony was over, and the
Christmas celebration came to an end.

Henry w. savage's Masterpiece.

Since Puccini's fascinating grand
opera gem captivated music lovers last
season, when Henry W. Savage intro
duced it to America, it has become a
sensation both in Paris and Berlin.
The remarkable success of this truly
remarkable opera. with its alIuring
stage pictures, its haunting harmonies,
its powerful and pathetic dramatic
pictures, its haunting harmonies. it's
powerful and pathetic dramatic story.
has completely shattered all grand
opera traditions. The social and mu-
steal world of this country has been
taken by storm, same as when MA

the queen herself occupied a Covent

lance that any he has ever brought to-

Difficulty Solved.

The question with most people is not
stringency in the money market, but
what TO do with or where to keep their
money. To be perfectly safe against
fire and burglars, rent box at the
Salt Lake Security & Trust Co., or what
is still better get one of our gilt edge
first mortgages which we guarantee,
and then your investment will be per
fectly safe. Our proposition then to
all is, come and see our safety boxes in
our fire and burglar proof vault, get
your mortgage. The interest received
on $50 viii pay the rent of your box,
place your mortgage, together with
any other valuable articles you may
possess, and you are perfectly safe
against any possible accident that may
occur.
Money stored away in the house is
never safe and being an invitation to
burglars, always places ones life in

OBITUARY..
D. j. Sullivan.


The funeral of D. j. Sullivan, late OF
Eureka, was held from st. Mary's ca
thedral Monday, and was largely at
tend by friends from Eureka and Og-
den, and by many in Salt Lake. The
services at the church were conducted
by the Rev. Father Ryan and were very
impressive. He spoke lin eulogistic
terms of the deceased, and the splendid
courage with which he met death.
He was a man." said Father Ryan,
full of physical power and strength,
and as / saw him last Wednesday,
did not think death would strike. The
next day l could see death manifest.
He realized the end was near and said,
'Goodby, Father; 1 shall never see you
again!' "
The reverend fathers words to the
aged and bereaved mother were beauti-
full and full of consolation. The church
was filled with friends of the deceased,
many coming from Eureka to attend
the funeral. The quartette from the
Cathedral choir rendered the music.
The deceased was a man of fine char
acter, a thorough Catholic, one who was
an ideal type of Christian manhood.
May his soul rest in peace!
