The Fellow Who lmagines.

Have yen got that kind OF fellow
n your community who-well-pre-
r~aricateS a GOOD deal just because he
assesses such an optimistic magma
tlon. We kno" re, and we never
had the heart t. lass him as a liar,
nlthough it IS seldom that he ever
tsrls the plain u~nvarnished truth. Ano
we notice that everybody listens tf
aim with due respect, and though they
have never told us, we know that
ahey are taking all he says with
grain of salt"
For instance, this summer he had
an automobile on the way here and
se don't suppose he ever had more
ihan thirty dollars saved up at one
Time in his life. He showed u the
photographs of the machine and told
of his correspondence with the COM
pany. When the limit came for the
time he was to have received it, an
unusual offer from a party in an in
teryening town had prevented its
reaching its destination in shipment.
lie is the sort Of a fellow who plays
IN the band and. goes through a lot-of
grand-Stand motions, though he can
hardly play Il note. We notice that
he Gets more attention from the by
SANDERS than the leader himself, and
bis admirers are none the wiser. He
believes he has ability for almost any
Ealing, and according to his stories
nc has been in most of them in other
places in which he has lived.
Then, too, he is forever having had
chats with big men, prominent poll
sicianS, officers of railroads, etc. He
byes TO call them by their first names,
and tell how they asked his opinion on
This or that. We never saw him
8owncast. He swells up over every
pG he gets and affects a pose that
warns ones heart TO SEE.
Yes, we know he is deceiving us,
Perhaps he IS deceiving himself. We
don't approve of falSiuy, but we trust
that be does not harm himself more
than be does others. We hate to
think Ct the day when he may wake
up and look in the glass and see
himself as he really iS.-YazOo Sen

Time to Pray.

house who are paying their debts

The exception noted, a careworn,

Room Enough For All.

Don't crowds and push on the marsh of life,
Or tread on each others toes,
For the world at best, In its great unrest,
Is hard enough as it goes.
Oh. why should the strong Cypress the weak,
Till the latter go off the wall?
On this earth OF ours, with It's thorns ana
flowers,
There's room enough for all.
If a tagging brother falls behind,
And drops from the toiling ba nd,
If fear and doubt put his soul to Iout,
Then lend him IA helping hand,
Cheer up his heart will words, of home,
Nor season the speech with gall;
In the great highway, on the busiest day,
There's room enough for ali.
II a man with u tread Of pioneer
Steps on your track ahead,
Don't grudge his start with an e~nvious
heart,
For the mightiest once was led
But grid your loins for the coming day
Let nothing you heart appall-
Catch up If you can with the forward man,
There's room enough for all.
And if by doing your duty we'll,
You should get to lead the van,
Brand not your name with a deed of shame,
But come out an hOneStman,
KEEP a bright lookout on every side,
Till, needing the Masters call,
Yoursoul should go, from the world below,
Where there's room enough for all.

Concerning a Watermelon.

Frank and Sammy bought a water
melon for forty-eight cents, Frank
contributing thirty cents and Sammy
eighteen, which they were going to
divide in proportion to their relative
investments, when, spying Billy pass
ing on the road, they conSpired to un-
load a third Of the melon upon him
for the cost CT the whole. After
Billy had gone the boys proceeded to
divide the money as they thought
right, and then each of them ate a
half of the remainder. How should
the money be divided between Frank
and Sammy?

SURPRISE FOR BRIDEGROOM.
(Tit-Bits.)


The groom entered alone and said con-
fidentially:
do you use the word obey in your
marriage service Mr.. -"
Mo- said the minister. 81 do not,
usually"
We'll" said the expectant benedict, Il
have come TO ask you to marry me now,
and 1 want 1t used"
'Certainly." replied the other. ''It shall
be DONE" and presently the couple stood
solemnly before him
James r said the clergyman. ''do
you take this woman to be your welded
wife,"
II do"
'Do YOU absolutely promise to love, to
honor and obey her as long as you both
shall live?"
Horror and rebellion struggled with the
sanctities of the occasion on the bride
groom's face, but he chokingly responded,
Il DO" and the meek bride decorously
promised in turn
After the ceremony was over the bride
groom said excitedly aside to the grave
minister:
You misunderstood me, sir; you misun-
derstood me- I referred to the woman S
promising to obey"
"Ah. did you. indeed?" serenely an
swered his reverence But think what
is good for one side is good for the other,
don't you? And, my friend, it is my ad-
vice to you to say nothing about il, for
as an old married man. ! can tell you
you'll have to obey anyhow.

new office Mr.. Mckenzie can count on
the support of every class so long as
tie police department is kept SC busy
attending to police affairs that it won't
have time to mix up in political af-
fairs
It may be noted in this connection
that an effort is being made to Gust
John Burbidge, captain of police, from
his position on the ground that he is
mot in sympathy with" the 'Ameri-
can" party. He has been an officer for
nineteen years. No man on the force
has been more persistently faithful and
attentive to his duty, None is better
entitled to recognition for his services.
In all the varied and trying changes
that have helped render the department
inefficient, he has kept clear of the po-
litical feuds and personal jealousies
that have been a scandal in city ad-
ministration. No faint of corruption
has touched him, no charge of unfair
discrimination in the discharge of his
duty.
49,
mayor and his new chief to remove
Burbidge for political reasons; but II
would be a serious blunder to do it.
1t is pretty well understood that the
demand for his removal comes from
men who defended Sheets in spite of
the McWhirter business; and it is sig
nifieant that in that whole unsavOry
scandal John Burbidge kept his hands
clean and came out of the affair with
honor. In the same issue which chron-
icled Sheets hearing, which resulted i1
his being held for trial, appears the re-
port of Il case in parallel and contrast
with Sheets. Last Monday two men
came to Burbidge in his office, one &C
cusing the other of having robbed him
in a poker game. Burbidge heard them
both and then arrested both for gam
bling and held them on bonds. Recall
ing the McWhirter case and the atti-
| tude then of the men who now ask foI
Burbidge's removal, the public will be
interested in knowing just what excuse
could be given for the discharge OF
Burbidge on demand of men who de-
| Tended Sheets If, in the exigencies OF
politics. the American" party deemed
it expedient to sacrifice an officer like
Burbidge at the instance of Sheets
particular friends, it would be notice
that efficiency, integrity and loyalty
weigh less in party councils than the
personal dislike of those who volun-
tarily allied themselves with the bunco'
steerers. gold-brick artists and short
card men who fiourished under the for
mer police administration.

pHIEF M'KENZIE.

Following his evident purpose of
being mayor on his own account, the
new city executive has gone outside the
list of the chosen few suggested by the
persuaders' committee of his party and
named Roderick Mckenzie as chief of
police to succeed George Sheets.
Whether he realized it or not, the
mayor has perpetrated a delicate satire
on the simon-pure Americans" who
upheld Sheets and his McWhirter ad-
ministratiOn of the police department.
The new chiefs name smacks of the
thistle. the bagpipes, kits and clay
more. The taste of haggis and ban
nocks and oats is in it; the suckers
from Scotland" have come into their
own after all-and an American"
mayor is responsible.
The new chief is not known as poll
tician, and after some experience with
political management of the police the
public will be thankful for the change.
Rod Mckenzie is a sportsman of the
all-around type He knows a good
horse when he sees it, he is handy with
gun, he likes the open fields, the
trout streams and everything that goes
to lengthen mems days and sweeten
their dispositions With it all he has
shown an inclination to get things done
and make no fuss about it, As an ex-
ecutive he ought 10 be a success; and
unless his friends are greatly mistaken
he will give everybody a square deal
in his department.
From the beginning Mr.. Mckenzie
has his work cut out for him on a large
scale. The town is infested with bur-
glars and hold-ups and hObos. Not in
years has there been such an unbroken
series of crimes without serious inter-
ference from the authorities. The po-
lice courts have been lax in their pun
been demoralized by the retention in
office of a chief who was under serious
charges; the public had lost confidence
i'm the ability of the officers to appre-
bend criminals, and the criminals them
selves have presumed on the disorgan-
lied cOndltlOn OF the department 10
commit depredations of all sorts.
With a recognized force it should
not be difficult to clean out the Grim
inals and make Salt Lake too hot for
them. 1t may require overtime for the
force and extra diligerce from the
chief, because the number of police is
small for the territory to be covered;
but with the public backing them, the
chief and his men should be able to in
augurate a new regime that will make
the city a terror TO offenders of the
criminal type and much more comfort
able for law-abiding citizens. In his
