GONE BEFORE.

GONE BEFORE.
There's beautiful face in the silent air,
Which follows me ever and near,
With smiling eyes and amber hair,
With voiceess lips, yet with breath of prayer
That feel, but caunot hear.
"The dimpled hands and ringlets OF gold
Lie low in marble sleep;
stretch my arm for the clasp Of old,
But the empty air is strangely cold
And my vigil alone keep.
There's snless brow with radiant crown
And a cross laid down In the DUST
There's a smile where not shade comes now
And tears no more from those dear eyes flow,
So sweet in their innocent trust.
"Ah, welll and summer is coming again,
Singing her same old sweet song;
But oh! it sounds like sob OF pain
As 1t floats in the sunshine and the rain,
Der hearts Of the worlds great throng.
There's beautiful region above the skies,
And | long to reach its shore,
For know ! shall find my treasure there,
The laughing eyes and amber hair
or the loved one gone before"

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be so is the question,
Many good girl and boy feel as
though they do not behave to suit
themselves in company. They
feel timid, bashful, and self-dis-
trustful, the moment they are ad-
dressed by a stranger or appear
in company, There is but one
way to get over this feeling, and
acquire easy and graceful manners;
that is, to do the best they can at
home, as well as abroad. Good
manners are not learned by teach
ing so much as an acquired habit.
They grow upon us by use. We
must be courteous, kind, civil,
gentlemanly and womanly at home,
and then it will become a kind OF
second nature to be so elsewhere.
A coarse, rough manner at home
begets bit Of roughness which
we cannot lay of when we go
among strangers. The most agree
able people we have ever known
in company are those who are per-
fec,ly agreeable at home. Home
is the school for all good things,
especially for good manners.

HINTS FOR HUSBANDS.

When a man has established
home, has a wife and children, the
the most important duties OF his
have fairly begun. The errors of
his youth may be obliterated, the
faults of his early days may be
overlooked; but from the moment
Of his marriage he commences to
write an ineffable history; not by
pen and ink, but by deeds by
which he must ever afterward be
reported and judged.
His conduct at home, his care
for his family, the training of his
children, his attentions to his
wife, his devotion to the great
interests of eternity, these are
tests by which his character will
ever afterwards be estimated by
those who think or care for him.
These will determine his position
while living, and influence his
memory when the grave has closed
over him. And as he uses we'll or
i'll the brief space allotted to him
out of all eternity to establish a
fame founded on the most solid OF
foundations--private worth--so
will God and man judge him. He
holds in his hands the private
veal and woe Of his wife and chill
dren; and if he abuses his most
holy, God-given trust, be cannot
hope for mercy hereafter. Many
child goes astray, simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine. Many
wife esteems death her best
friend, because he who swore be-
fore God to Glove, honor and
CHERISH" has forgotten his vows.

There are now thirty-eight absolu'
tely dry counties in Missouri, and sew
eral counties In which the saloon is shut
out except in the cities. Taney county
is in fair way to soon be numbered
with the absolutely dry contingent,
having but a single saloon now running
in the county, and considerable doubt
about the renewal OF its license.

which has so far been made in the de-
posit, SO that its true depth is not yet
known. With no greater depth than
this the commercial value OF this salt
deposit, which is said to be 95 per cent
pure, is very large.
There is theory that this deposit
drains underground TO the Great Salt
Lake. This is borne out by the fact
that the salt beds are 27 feet higher
than the lake, with the slope toward
the lake. More than that this salt depos-
1t contains moisture, for'ties and tele-
graph poles imbedded in it become
moist to point or 5 inches above the
surface. This also argues an under
ground stream since the air is too dry
to furnish enough moisture for this.
Placer claims are already staked out
on the salt beds.

Beauty in dress is a good thing,
rail at it who may. But it is
lower beauty, for which higher
beauty should not be sacrificed.
They love dress too much who
give it their first thought, their
best time, or all their money; who
for it neglect the culture of mind
or heart, or the claims OF others
on their service; who care more
for their dress than their disposi-
ton; who are troubled more by an
questionable bonnet than neg
lected duty.

CORRECT SPEAKING,

One of the most pleasing things
in young people is the habit of
correct speaking. Let us advise
all our young readers to acquire it
in early life. The longer you live
the more difficult the acquire
ment of correct language is; and
if the golden age of youth, the
proper season for the acquisition
of language is passed in abuse, the
unfortunate victim, if neglected,
is very properly doomed TO talk
slang all his life. Money is not
necessary to procure this edu-
cation. Every one has it in his
power. He has merely to use the
language which he reads, instead
of the slang which he hears, to
form his tastes from the best poets
and authors of the country, to
treasure up choice phrases in his
memory, and habituate himself to
their use, avoiding at the same
time, that pedantic precision and
bombast which show the weakness
of vain ambition rather than the
polish OF an educated mind.

The mile which came last on the card,
drew out a good field of nine, and Ed
win Gum was made favorite at less than
two to one. Frank Flittner received
nice play. as did Col. Jack, which was

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-Boots
Durnell, forsaken by his backer, John
W. Gates, and left to the mercies of the
Jockey club in New York, was today
driven from the turf when the stewards
of the New California Jockey club de-
cided not to accept entries from the once
popular little trainer and owner. This
action follows hard on that of Belmont
and his figure-heads, who decided re-,
Gently that Boots could not enjoy the
privileges of the turf on the metropolitan
tracks, and bars Durnell from practically
all the tracks in the country, for nothing
but the bush" circuit is left to him.
And Durnell is resigned to his fate.
There is nothing left for. me toNdo but
to quit the business" he said today.
when the Jockey club frowns on a man
he hasn't a chance on earth, and the
sooner l sell my horses the better off
I'll be. The Burlingame stable will be
disposed of ht auction in, the near future
and Boots Durnell will be nothing but a
memory on the turf"
Durnell was for years one of the great
est trainers in the country and nad the
backing of powerful influences. While
his methods were not always above re-
proach or free from scandal he never
really was caught with the goods until
laSt winter, Wnen ne ana JOnlny NC
Cafferty became involved in mix at
Los Angeles. Both men We're ruled off
when they told state secrets out loud,
but Durnell reinstated Immediately
on returning east and enlisting his backer
in his behalf.
But now that hacker, John w. Gates,
has sidetracked little Boots, and mis- star
is on the wane The under dog is al
ways in for a kick, and Durnell is get
ting his from the very touts who once
took his money and ate at his table, but
who now sidestep him with alacrity.
They know that Gates has repudiated
him and he is no longer a good fellow"
but a little Crook who is getting what's
coming to him.
The better class of horsemen, who un-
derstand the situation, feel that Durnell
is getting the shabby end of things, but
fear of the power of the Jockey club
keeps them silent. Were vote to be
taken today it is certainty that he
would be reinstated by the majority. and
while his methods at times have been
questioned it is an almost unanimous
opinion that Boots Durnell is Patsy
Bolivar in the present instance, made
the victim of some Petty squabble in the
ranks of the Jockey club stewards.

1t Exploded When Sudden Lurch

A. r. Atkins of 1915 Pennsylvania

Yesterday morning when he went out
on hunting trip on horseback.
Mr. Atkins got a sixteen gauge shot
gun at Hoegees and stuffed it into his
saddle scabbard. When he had gotten
a little ways out of the city a peculiar
accident occurred. 1t appears that he
had his gun at half-cock and that
sudden lurch of his body in some way
caught the trigger. The spring was so
powerful that even at half-cock it ex-
ploded the SHE'LL discharging the shot

L. A. HIGH
WORKS HARD
coAcE soRENsoN RUsHEs HIS
MEN FOR SEATTLE GAME
Although Northerners Have Advan-
tage in Points, Los Angeles Is
Doped to Win on Christ
mas Day

Coach Sorenson is giving the Los Ange-
les football squad its hardest work of the
whole year in preparation for the big
game with Seattle, which is scheduled to
come off Christmas day at Fiesta park.
AS far as comparative dope goes, the
northerners have it on the locals ir the
counting of straight points made in the
seasons games. Los angeles high beat
Lick 27 to o; Berkeley beat Lick 10 to O,
and Seattle beat Berkeley 80 to g.
But this line of dope is practically use
less in summing up the chances of the
Los Angeles and Seattle elevens again st
each other.
Seattle carries the prestige from the
fact that 1t beat North Division high
of Chicago for the championship Of the
United States last year. OF course, the
same men who played in 1906 are play
ing this year, and this makes Seattle
the favorite in the betting at odds of
7 to ).
In spite of dope those who have
watched the Los Angeles teams work
this season think that the local boys
will win the game.
Los Angeles High possesses some of the
heaviest and fastest football players in
the west irrespective of class 1t is a
mooted question lyhether there is a coll
lege halfback in the west that can com
pare with Stan Mitchell, who is a tower
of strength by himself. Mitchels indi-
yidual work is wonderful especially on
offense.
Cass, Decius and Adamson form trio
that combines weight with speed and
headwork. Man for man there isn't
another high school football team in this
country that is as heavy as Los An
geles.
Outside of local pride it is good bet
that Los AneelAs will win thp inter
scholastic championship of the United
States from Seattle December %.
Lul. will play full. Geisler and Brant
at the ends are stars on defense. Cochran
and Adamson will fill the tackles, Wat
.lington and Walker have been picked for
guards. Silent, who is monster in size,
will play center.
