HORSE FAIR A SUCCESS.
Cache County People Enthusiastic
Over Magnificent Display
of Animals,
Especial to The HeraId.)

Logan, April 20.-The Cache county
horse fair held here today was the most
successful one this county has vet wit
messed. The day was fine, but as the
fore part Of the week was very stormy
the attendance Of many fine animals
from remote parts of the country was
prevented. The animals exhibited were
in much finer condition than in other
years, the judging was generally more
satisfactory and the competition much
keener. Between $4,000 and 100000 worth
of horse flesh was exhibited in the ma
rade, Mr.. Leggett of Ogden bringing up
a carload. The showing OF grade colts
and standard bred drivers was the finest
ever made here. James Rae of Salt Lake
City did the judging.

two pairs of pursuing villains, one bent

very modish. A month ago her vogue
had grown sufficiently to warrant the
evening assignment of a stage to her.

Some of the extolling of this Russian
woman for beauty and genius is unreal
sonable; but she is an extraordinary
artist and really wonderful for versatil-
ity. Many of the men on the stage,
including not few star players, cannot
oVer1ay their personality so as to pro-
duce any contrasts in mimicry; and
women, lacking the aid of boards and
deep lines in facial makeup, with less
volume of voice for changes in dictiOn
ana other restrictions in DISCUSSES, are
hardly ever effectual In any con-
siderable variety of characterization.
Mrs. Nazimova is an exception to
this rule of monotony among actresses.
Her childish girl in "a Dolls House
IS a soft looking creature, suggestive
Of plumpness even, not in the least viii
loWy, and giving promise of too much
rat by and by. That is attained by re-
moving the heels from her shoes,
brushing her hair down fat and wide
and wearing skirts that clear the
ground, those doubtless Iessening her
height and increasing her width. Her
s1renic woman in "Hedda Gabler' is so
heightened by high-heeled shoes and a
piled up couture that she is really four
inches taller than Nora; gowns that
adhere closely to her very slim, curve
less figure and drag on the floor seem
to still further elongate her, and visual
ly the rounded girl and the sinuous wo-
man bear no resemblance to each other
Fully as marked a variant in appear
ance is her frivolous, fiuttery, brilliant
ly fashionable Nina in The Comtesse
Coquette." The other two are Norwe-
gian types; this one is a modern Italian
belle; and the vocal contrasts, although
artistic enough to warrant much of the
enthusiasm over her, seem less amaz-
ing to me than her alterations in
aspects and mannerisms. ANY wav
they have led me to write a lot, vet I
trust readably, about a strange if not
great actress.

GOOD STORIES THERE TOLD BY

How Bob Cousins Came to Be Dubbed

Hair-Raising Experience of

In each coy corner OF the cloak

relate a new lot of stories: for what
ever distinction a congressman may
win In legislative circles, If he is a
good story teller, he will certainly add
lustre to his glory-in the cloak room
at least.
1t is said that Congressman Bob
Cousins, claims he has attained the
dignity of a knight Of the Garter. 1t
happened this way. He was invited
to Shanney's, a fashionable place in
New York, and as he stepped out on
the pavement, all ready for the fray.

radiance of his evening broadcloth.

Cousins is a handsome man, tall, dig

man, and he was walking along that
carpet with all the majesty suited to
the occasion, when, 10 and behold, 1t
was discovered that behind his patent
leather there trailed a long "some-
thing white" The Mortified con-
gresham turned to look upon his re-
calcitrant garter, while the fashion
able guests hid their faces in their
napkins. With all the solemnity be-
fitting so dreadful an occurrence, the
congressman remarked:

smiling guests. and since then has
been dubbed the Knight of the Gar

CHAPTER XXI.

Detective Sergeant Holt sat in his
armchair in his own neat little sitting
room ove his morning newspaper and
his first pipe. He had been very hard
worked of late, and had been engaged
on business of a very difficult and
dangerous kind. He had been in pur-
suit of a band OF skilful coiners, had
run his quarry to earth, had escaped
with his life by a hairs breadth in ar
resting the gang, and, after securing
his first remand, was left to an in
formal holiday until the next hearing.
He felt all the satisfaction natural to
a man who had successfully finished q
piece of delicate work, and to hat was
added the knowledge that he was
marked out for promotion and an in
crease of pay. So he sat in %slippered
ease, and was, for the time being at
least, az happy and contented a man
as might be found in London.
He vas Swimming over for the fifth
or sixth time the report of the highly
complimentary little address he had
received from the sitting magistrate
at Bow street IN the previous day,
when he heard a ring at the bell, and
a moment later, when the landlady had
responded to the summons, a foreign
sounding voice asked for him by name.
"Halloa!" said the sergeant, that's
old Ribot, surely. Now, what does he
want here?"
1t was NJ. Ribot, sure enough, accur-
ately booted and ~gloved, wearing q
frock coat tightly b%uttoned, and carry
ing a glossy silk hat In his hand.
What is it this timer" the English
man asked, business or p~leasure?"
1T Is business" Ribot answered.

from Cayenne has found his way to

"Guider Branches Out.

j. II. Williams, an old and well
known city guide, whose headquarters
are around the White House, some
time ago came to the conclusion that
the word guide "a too common and
vulgar, and now he wear a badge

tor, No. l." All the other guides are

wildered. Her heart must have been
less engaged than she fancied, for her
regrets were devoted not n half SO
much to the parting between Alexis
and herself as to the cause Of 1t. AS
to that cause she did not cease to
grieve, nor eve will, SO long as she
lives to think of it; but in the pres.

from time to time forget it, and the
pain grew bearable.
There are certain generous natures
which feel an intense delight In giving,

Belle, who had known what 1T was to
pinch and spare for the greater part
Of her life, and who found it an end
less struggle to make the proverbial
two ends meet, was more than pleased
to find a wealthy and free-handed
friend beside her at this juncture.

training, the same liberal education,
and have mingled in the same set
from the first dancing class to the
whirl of social pleasure in which they
find themselves as youth and maiden.
To fancy that there is no such thing a.
real love among the rich and fortunate
In this worlds goods is to make q very
stupid mistake.
Probably second marriages, and
marriages that are contracted in mid
die life, ana wen later, are most
deeply marked by motives other than
sentimental. A man loses his wife.
and having a house full of children
discovers, after a year or more OF
loneliness, that he Is at the mercy of
servants, that his children are neglect
ed and are falling into habits of unre-
straint. A widower without children.
or with a single child, may easily find
a mate, but he who has four or five

share his lot, or fears lest the woman
who attracts him as the successor to
his first love may prove al unsuccess.
full ~stepmother.
Often such a man, in sheer despair,
proposes marriage to his housekeeper.
who has, at least, made him fairly
comfortable and established some sort
OF government over the children. This
is a marriage Of convenience, purely,
yet 1t not in~frequently turns out very
comfortably for everyone, husband and
children alike thriving under the good
management Of a wife and mother who
may not have inspired romantic love
at first, but who wins esteem and re-
spect, which are good foundations for
genuine affection.
Nevertheless a marriage Of this var.
iety Is an experiment, and 1t is
times a dangerous one. No intimacy
on earth equals that of marriage. No
shipwreck is SC pitiful as that of a
home. When mistakes are made with
out the excuse of impulse, and with a
certain elaboration, people who are
decent must accept the consequences
of their folly with what dignity they
can. To make the best Of a bad situa-
ton is sometimes all that Is left, and
for the sake Of family honor there
should be no proclamation of misery
to the four winds.
We shall lever as a nation arrive at
a point where we shall regard mar
riages of convenience as anything be-
yond wretched m~akeshifts. AS a ma.
ton we are sentimentalists, and we
take pride in being so. There was not
a household the wide land over that
did not rejoice when the daughter Of
our president was married to the man
she loved. We were all as jubilant as
If we had been present in person at
the beautiful wedding, and the mar
riage bells in the White House had
their silvery echo on every coast, every
mountain and every valley throughout
our vast domains.
