Result Getter.

The cheerful taffy giver
AS he joys along the way
Is the one who gathers favorS
AS the farmer gathers hay.
He never in his travels
Is lacking for a friend;
He drops a bit of barney
And draws a dividend.
No matter where he wanders,
Results are just the same;
He always finds a victim
Who tumbles to his game,
And, whether male or female
And whether old or young,
They sip as it were nectar
The honey from his tongue.
There isn't any danger
or making it too strong,
Because in that direction
He " can go wrong.
He finds no sort of trouble
Encountered on that score.
The n who gets the package
Is always out for more.
There's nothing so effective,
There's nothing quite so strong.
As loud and ~boisterous taffy
10 help a game along.
1t cinches the receiver
If handed to him right
And makes the giver solid.
For anything in sight.

WORK OF THE BRAN:
Curious Facts About the Human.
Thinking Apparatus.
WHERE THOUGHTS ARE BORN.
Right Handed Persons Form Ideas In
the Left half of the Brain and Left
Handlers In the Right H~alf-Strange
Freaks of Mental Blindness.

Common opinion has it that the
thinking is done in the front part OF
the brain, SO that a high forehead
means a lofty intellect. Common opin-
Ion, it turns out, is precisely wrong.
More hard thinking is done at the back
part OF the head than anywhere else.
Much of the rest is done in q region
just above the ears.
When the thinking involves action
the sides and top of the head play their
special part. In fact, about the only
portion of the outer layers of the brain
substance that has eve been found
to have the least connection with any
sort of thinking is that lying above the
eyes.
There is another curious fact about
the thinking apparatus. Nine men out
of ten at least do all their thinking on
the left side of the brain and might.
as far as their purely mental opera
lions are concerned, get O. just as well
if the entire right half were removed.
To be sure, a tumor son the right side
of the brain, a broken blood vessel OR
a d~isintegration of the brain substance
is apt to cause more or less complete
and permanent paralysis of correspond
ing groups of muscles, always. of course.
on the left side Of the body, since, as
is we'll known, nearly all the nerve
fbers in passing from the brain to the
body organs cross over to the other
side.

In his letter Mr.. Beggs says that
congress, having fixed the duty of
carriers with reference to furnishing
cars for interstate shipments. the state
cannot therefore interfere with that
duty either by making it more definite
and certain or by imposing enaIties.
The Minnesota law. he says, or its
terms applies to all transportation. in
terstate and interstate. and is void as
TO interstate shipments. He argues
further that If the state supreme court
should construe the law as applicable
only TO interstate shipments then l. d.
rectly burdens interstate commerce be-
cause of the penalties imposed.

HUGHES WILL NOT SAVE
GILLETTE FROM DEATH

Albany. n. Y. March 24-There is no
foundation for the persistent report
that Governor Hughes has decided t.
grant a reprieve for Chester Gillette,
for his mothers sake or for any other
reason. The statement was made to-
day Oh the best. possible authority. The
governor himself would not be quoted
on the subject. The general belief here
is that the governor will not interfere
with the execution of the young man,
who is under sentence To die at Au-

PESTS CAUSE AN
ENORMOUS Loss
Attention Called to Brown Tail
Moths and Texas Cat
tie Ticks.

Washington, March 24.-In explain
ing the provisions of the agricultural
appropriation bill, Mr.. Scott Of Kan
sas, I'm the house of representatives to-
day, called attention TO the ravages of
the brown tail moths and the fexas
cattle tick. The former he said, we're
rapidly destroying the groves and ftT-
ests of the New England states, while
the Texas tick had been one of the
greatest pests known. The tick, ne
declared, was responsible for the quar-
antine line which for nearly twenty
years had stretched across the country
from one ocean to the other. The an
nual cost of maintaining that line to
different states and the nation WAS
hardly less than $500 O0O That, how
ever, he said, was the smallest item
inflicted upon the country by the cat
tie tick.
Millions Annually Lost.
1.-The presence of the tick" he said.
"depreciates the price of every head of
cattle below the quarantine line, while
1t deprives the northern states of the
market they would otherwise find in
the southern states for their high grade
stock
The loss to the north could not even
be guessed at. but he estimated the an
nual loss suffered by the states south
of the line could not be less than $40,
0OO. GOO. He therefore said that il need
ed no argument TO justify a most lib
eral appropriation from the federal
treasury for graduating these Two
pests. and the committee had recon-
mended S25O,000 in each case.

The city council will ask the long
suffering taxpayers of Salt Lake to is
sue either $500. 900 or $500, 900 worth of
water and sewer bonds 10 clear up the
Indebtedness entailed by the "Ameri-
can administration and continue the
improvements planned for 1908.
At a meeting of the council commit
tee of the whole yesterday afternoon
the special auditors. represented by II.
q. Ambrose, submitted a preliminary
report as to the condition of the city's
finances, and W. Mont Ferry, chairman
Of the finance committee, admitted that
either the tax rate would have To be
raised this year to IA % mills or bonds
would have to be issued.
Above is the summary of the state
ment presented by the special auditors
which shows that for this year the ex-
penses of the city win be 81 .335, 1872
The meeting yesterday was rather
exciting, and the American" members
for the first time were free to admit
that the city is hOpelessly broke" un-
less some drastic measure is adopted to
relieve the treasury.
Ambrose Starts Something.
The discussion was begun by Mr.
Ambrose of the special auditors, who
read to the council a report showing
that bonds to the extent of s62S.519
could be issued without exceeding the
debt limit of the city as provided by
statute. Ambrose said that the CITY
could bond itself to the extent of 4 per
cent of the assessed valuation for sew
er and water purposes and per cent
for general purposes. The limit has
been reached in the latter classical
ton, but there have only been 81, 25O. 900
in water and sewer bonds issued, while
per cent of the assessed valuation
would be S1,S7s,479, leaving the amount
indicated yet unappropriated.
In the decision of the supreme court
of the state in the case of the People
eX rel. O'MeaTa against Salt Lake CITY.
the court held that the two provisions
in the statutes relating TO the bonding
of the city for 4 per cent OF the as
sessed valuation for sewer and water
purposes and 4 per cent for general
purposes were separate and distinct.
and that the aggregate should not be
considered in both provisions, but that
each should stand by itself
BFansford's Position.
After Ambrose had completed read
ing his address" John HoIley, Demo-
cratic councilman from the Third ward,
said:
I guess il would be a good thing for
the city to file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy IN the federal court"
Mayor Bransford, who was in the
chair. said that without a bond issue or
