LAW OF AMERICAN DESERT.

One of the oldest humane laws in
this country" said E. j. Sanford. is
in force in Nevada. In that section of
the American desert. which lies in Ne
vada, travellers in distress may nag
the limited passenger trains and COM
pei the train crews to give them watar
to drink. The law makes it a felony
to refuse to comply with the travellers
request"
Mr.. Sanford said numerous instances
were known in the earlier DAYS when
travellers took advantage of the nro-
lection this law afforded. but in recent
years few persons attempt to cross the
desert except by train.-Kansas CIV

GOOD STROKE FOR CITY.

As one views the refunding OF Lo.
gan city bonds at Al per cent, It
looks good-very good, indeed, when
1t Is remembered that these bonds
bore s per cent interest heretofore,
and $1,000 OF them carried even six
per cent interest. 1t was not thought
possible that such q low rate Of inter.
est could be secured, but the matter
was undertaken even after the sugges-
tion Of legal advice that 1t was not
probable the State Land Board would
consider 1t favorably. Councilman s.
o. Stevens, Of the finance comm ittee,
went to Salt Lake City to look into
the matter and submitted his propo.
sition to the board, urging such argu.
ment as he deemed Of worth. He was
assisted by Senator Herschel Bullen,
and 1t was most gratifying thing to
both, and fortunate stroke for the
city. when Mr.. Seeley. a member of
the board, moved the acceptance OF
the bonds at Al per cent. Mr.. VIM.
Thain joined In a second to Seeley's
motion and it passed unanimously.
Not little credit is due the gentle.
men who carried through this little
deal that has resulted so much to the
clty's advantage, and 1t IL but right
that credit should be placed where it
rightly belongs. The people Of this
city may rest secure In the fact that
their interests are being guarded very
carefully by the present administra.

BOOST FOR A. {. OF U.

Saturdays edition Of the "Deseret
Farmer" was filled with good matter
relative to the Agricultural College
and the opportunities the big school
offers. Illustrations were excellent,
and the publication as whole calcu.
lated to be OF no little service to this
state institution, as we'll as to the
student whose attention Is directed to
the need OF Industrial education. In
an article on 1.-THE Mission OF the Ag.
ricultural College," President Widtsoe
rightly says:
This school has a mission. 1t must
dignity and glorify and make pleasant
the common things Of life. 1t must
teach the coming generations that the
industrial arts arc desirable means Of
livelihood. 1t must reveal the mys.
terles of soil and sunshine and water,
and urge the return to the sane life on
the soil-the inheritance of our
fathers. 1t must join with the other
forces Of the state to organize a com.
monwealth that shall be q pattern for
others to follow. 1t must help to
make the children worthy Of their
pioneer fathers.
blessed by liberal state with
buildings and equipment and faculty,
the Agricultural College invites the
young people Of the state to enter its
doors and partake Of the good things
1t offers. The youth Of Utah cannot
afford to neglect its opportunities.
Whether we will or not, this state
will grow In power. The Natural re-.
sources are here. II we do not pre-.
pare ourselves for sfuture usefulness,
the stranger will do the work, and we
shall be his bond servants"

MOSES WAS A GENTLEMAN.

There is often something lumin-
GUS about child's definition.
American boys will agree with the
little chap in an English school,
who, in an examination on Scrip
tural subjects, gave an original an
swer to the question; what can
you tell me about Moses?' HE
was gentleman" replied the little
fellow, promptly. "a gentleman!"
repeated the examiner. "NWhat do
you mean by that?' when the
daughters of Jethro," explained the
boy, ''went TO the well to draw wa
ter, the shepherds came and drove
them away. But Moses helped the
daughters of Jethro, and said to
the shepherds: Ladies first, please

Be We ALSO PREPARED.

We read much and hear much said
about "being prepared" for death.
In so far as this might be made to re.
fer to the advisability OF every man
carrying a fair-sized insurance policy
for the protection Of his family, we are
in hearty accord, and this phase of the
matter can not well be urged too
strenuously. No poor man can afford
to not carry at least 1900 insurance
on his life. This isn't a great amount,
Of course, but on policy OF this size
even the poorest can pay the pre-.
miums as they come due, aud that
81 900 received after death will pay a
lot OF doctors bills and perhaps clear
Up the funeral expenses Mayhap. If
the sickness of the deceased has not
been Of long duration, there will be
portion of that 81 900 left to help
the widow and children in the need
that is certain to be theirs, It's worth
thinking about.
AS for the stress laid on the other
phase OF this preparedness for the
death sure to come to all sooner or
later, we are not so enthusiastic. To
us, preparedness for life is the thing,
and when a man has learned to live
as he should, he certainly is well pre-
pared for death-he need be little
concerned. While few people agree
as to what death is, and what the fu.
ture holds, ali sane men are agreed
that in this life only good is worth the
while Being good and doing good is
its own reward here, and it Is a re-
ward greater than all riches. Men
and women who fill this measure get
