A GOOD DEED GONE BEFORE.

Good deeds are not always recorded
in the annals OF man. but here Is one
that should be Inscribed there In bold
characters. for the lessons 1t conveys
Not more than a week ago the late

He saw the accident and with his auto

He sent n physician and he, himself,
paid daily visits to the little shack the
poor family called home. Each day

learned the innermost secrets of the
poor man and his family. He learned
about the purchase of the lot on which
the shack stood. This lot had been
bought on the so much down and one

idleness ahead the poor man saw his
lot slipping away from him. Then he

CONSISTENCY

A morning contemporary which gives
q very fair report OF the peace meet
ing In the First Congregational church
on Sunday, says on it's first page that
Among those most prominent IN the
work are Bishop spalding, Mrs. j. i.
Cosgrlr, Bishop Seaman, Colonel
George b. squires, Rabbi Charles
Freund, John Henry Smith, Dean Ben
jamin Brewster, Rev. p, a. simpkins,
and N. p. statakos."
On the fourth page It says:
ut is Inappropriate. too, to see those
who are always az strife, and who de-
mand absolute, slavish submission to
their ideas. come forward as advo-
Gates of peace, and make themselves
prominent IN n peace movement In
Utah the special Indictment To this
peace movement Is In the hands OF Il
sect that has never been able to live
at peace with its neighbors wherever
II has been, II is always at strife"
II VIII, we fancy, be news to the Rev.
gentlemen named above that it Is in
appropriate for them to come forward
as advocates of peace ana make them
selves prominent IN that movement"
because they belong to a sect that has
never been able to live at peace with
It's neighbors"
But that is as near as the contem-
porary quoted ever comes TO truth and
consistency in it's attacks upon any
one.

PUNAHOU IS
AGAIN WINNER

After a game lacking in what the
referee called ginger" the High
school II. lost a socker game to the
Punahou II. yesterday afternoon by a
80 score.
Individualism and not team work
characterized the game which the
Highs put Up, and neither side indulg-
ed in any spectacular playing. ON the
contrary, yesterdays game was one Of
the slowest which has been played in
the Junior Interscholastic League.
For the Highs, Marcus Monsarrat, a
first team man. played the best game.
His training on the elder team stood
him in good stead yesterday. Norman
Oss missed several good chances at the
ball through being unable TO keep on
his feet.
Genoves, for Punah0u, was star.
With the aid Of Webster, some good
plays were effected by him.
The personnel OF both teams follows.
