The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad

rule, which prohibits employees from
drinking either on or of duty A
number Of discharges have taken
place in Cumberland. On Saturday
an engineer was met near the Queen
City depot by one OF the officials Of
the road. The officials cav from
close observation that the man had
been drinking, and although not on
duty was ordered discharged. The
man had always been regarded az
good engineer, against whom there
had been no complaint.
Some Of the men say that the at.

off duty is an interference with their
personal rights. The company off,

A Letter From Utah.

NEPHI CITy, UTAH, Feb. 8, 1908.
DEAR Mr.. SNYDER-The Mormons
have not got me vet, but have got a
horny toad for your museum. This is
a pretty little city, with mountains all
around it. The highest one is Mt. Ne:
bo, r. feet high, and it always has
snow on top Of it, even in summer time.
The people are very nice-1 like the
Mormons, and think you would, too, If
you could meet such nice ones as we
have met. Papa is going to California
this month with a load Of cattle. They
are just as fat as can be, and never
had bit of corn, only Lucerne hay to
feed on.
We have cold nights but beautiful
days, just like springtime. When it
SHOWS for a couple of hours the sun
comes out and melts it away. The
schools are fine here and some branches
taught that we do not have back home.
We get our REGISTER every Monday,
and it is so nice for mama and papa,
as they can tell how every thing is back
home. Mama says she wishes it was
four sheets instead Of two. l hope you
will like the toad. They do not hop
like our toads-they run like lizard or
q mouse. They are not good to eat like
big frogs. Hope the toad does not get
mashed. l will mail it at the same
time mail this letter.

Wolves Fear Iron.


In the early days wolves were COM
paratively unsuspicious, and it was
easy to trap or poison them. Then
new knowledge, a better comprehen-
sion Of the modern dangers, seemed to
spread among the wolves. They learn
ed how to detect and defy the traps
and poison, and in some way the
knowledge was passed from one to an
other till all wolves were fully pos
sessed of the information. How this
is done is not easy to say. 1t is easier
to prove that it is done. Few wolves
ever get into trap, fewer still get into
a trap and ont again, and thus they
learn that steel trap is thing to be
feared. And yet all wolves have the
knowledge, as every trspper knows,
and since they could not get it at first
hand they must have got it second
haud-that is, the information was
communicated to them by others of
their kind.
1t is well known among hunters that
piece of iron is enough to protect any
carcass from the wolves. If a deer
or antelope has been shot and is to be
left out overnight, all that lie needed
for its protection is an old horseshoe,
spur or even any part Of the hunt
er's dress. No wolf will go near such
suspicious looking or human tainted
things. They will starve rather than
approach the carcass so guarded.
With poison a similar change has
come about. Strichnine was consid-
cred infallible when first it was intro
duced. 1t lid vast destruction for
time; then the wolves seemed to dis
cover the danger of that particular
smell and would no longer take the
poisoned bait, as l know from number.
less experiences.
1t is thoroughly well known among
the cattlemen now that the only chance
of poisoning wolves is in the late sum-
mer and early autumn, when the young
are beginning to run with the mother.
She cannot watch over all of them the
whole time, and there is a chance Of
some of them finding the bait and tax
ing it before they have been taught to
let that sort Of smell thing alone.
The result is that wolves are on the
increase. They have been, indeed,
since the late eighties. They have re-
turned to many Of their old hunting
grounds in the cattle countries, and
each year they seem to be more nu-
merous and more widely spread, thanks
to their mastery Of the new problems
forced upon them by civilization

DID YOU MEET THEMf

Two little Tempeu went their way
Through town and country, one winter day.
One, like queen, were golden crown
And the fairy Sunshine had spun her gown;
And she gaily tossed. as she danced along,
A larssr Of smiles, good cheer and soag.
The other one wore on her brow cloud
And her voice was fretful. and cross, and loud;
And people pulled up their mufiers high
And said, There's an east wind passing by.
And she scattered about, in the frosty air.
Ouarrels and chickering's. everywhere
Both had followers in their train,
Earning their wages. pleasure and pain.
And Time took snapshots Of each and ALL
And hung the pictI res on Memory's wall.

In MemOriam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF my
dear husband, William T. Powell, who
departed this life November %, 1907.
Gone, but never will be forgotten.
How sad the hours in our home since
my dear, dear companion has gone, and
left me here alone, bat God took him
home to be with his children, who had
shortly crossed over the river before
him.
1t is sad the one we loved so we'll to
be taken from our home-the one who
provided for his family. Oh, how sad
to think we shall never hear his voice,
how sad when we stood by his dying
bed and knew that we had to give him
up.
At the table is another vacant place,
more sad than ever was before when
my dear children died. No one to pro-
vide for the table, but know that God
will provide for US, for He has taken
him home to rest from his labors on
earth.
How sad when we stood by his dy-
ing bed and knew we had to part. We
watched his breathing soft and low as in
his breast the wave OF life kept heaving
to and fro for when the morn came,
dim and sad, and chilled with early
showers, his quiet eyelids closed-he
had brighter morn than ours.
Then, farewell, dear husband and
father; we must give You VI. 'Tis
hard to do, but when our work on
earth is done we hope to come and live
with you.

He became a Rear Admiral in May,

During the war with Spain, Admiral
Sperry was Equipment Officer in the
New York Navy Yard. Afterward he
was given command of the Yorktown
in Philippine waters and directed the
movements of the landing party on
the eastern shore of LuZon, which is
now regarded as one of the most thrill
ling adventures of the campaign
against Aguinaldo.
AS one of the officers under Admir-
al Walker Sperry helped to make sue

From the command of the New Or

Many Pupils Were Withdrawn
During the Past Month
And Put to Work.
ROD GENERALLY SPARED.
ONLY NINE CASES OF CORPORAL
PUNISHMENT ARE REPORTED
MORE TIME LOST By TARDI-
NESS THAN IN YEARS PAST.

That the financial furry of the last
few months has affected the city of
Richmond, is shown by the report of
the city schools for the month begin
ming February 10. During this period
there were enrolled in the schools
1928 pupils against $3.50 for the sixth
month of 1907 and this despite the
fact that there was less sickness this
year than last and, the number of cas-
es of truancy reported was only four
teen.
The school officials endeavor to eX-
plain this loss of 65 pupils on the
ground that in recent weeks, it has
been found necessary in some families
to withdraw the children from schools.
Their earning capacity has been need
ed to help swell the total, by their
small additions to the family purse.
During the time the factories were
running short hours a number of shop
men removed with their families from
the city to the country, where they
could obtain the rental of a tenent
house on farm cheaper
The report shows an attendance of
95.4 per cent over 927 per cent for the
same month of last year and this is
very satisfactory to the officials. How
ever, the pupils do not fare so we'll on
hardness as there were COS cases as
compared to 500 cases last year To
meet this condition new and more
stringent rules on punctuality were
put in force at the beginning of the
prese mt month.
Reduced TO hours, the time lost in
minutes of hardness amounted to sc
or seven and one half full school days
The rod was spared generally but it is
hoped by the teachers the child was
not spoiled. Only nine cases of cor.
poral punishment We're reported. The
schools We're popular among visitors
and during the month $50 called. The
largest number came from without
the city, although the patrons were in
evidence at all buildings.
