A TIPsY DUKES PRANK.
Tho steFy Of How Mrs. Connolly Be-
came Lady Michael.


In former times there used to be
certain Duke Of Richmond. then
lord lieutenant of Ireland, who be-
longed to the hail fellow we'll met
species. With his boon compan-
ions it was his almost daily habit
to 20 to a certain fashionable inn
at Bray, kept BY one Michael Con-
molly. There much wine was con-
sumed during his incumbency Of
the lord lieutenancy, and many
and wild were the nights that the
little inn az Bray witnessed. Con-
molly had . reputation as being the
best cook in Ireland, and it was
said his wine was the best to be
found within the confines of the
Emerald Isle. The Duke of Rich
mond said so, and he ought to have
known, as he had eaten tons of the
one and imbibed tons of the other.
1 Connolly's cooking and Connol-
ly's wine were popular themes of
conversation with his lordship, and
he was not niggardly with his praise
of either. Wine is a great leyeler
of ranks, and so it fell out one
night that the duke, carried away
BY his admiration for Connolly's
talents in kitchen and taproom,
committed an egregious, amusing
mistake. The night in question
had been an even more than usual
" wet one at the inn at Bray, and
the duke. the innkeeper himself
and all of the dukes companions
were lost to all sense of either pro-
portion or the eternal fitness of
things.
Therefore no one thought it
strange when the duke sent for
mine host and, after speech of
praise of his viands, the way in
which they were prepared and es-
peciallN of his wine cellar, babe
him kneel. Then, striking him
across the shoulders, he said, "Rise,
Sir Michael Connolly" And Sir
Michael rose amid the rapturous
applause of those present. II
seemed quite the proper caper then
but the next morning, as it came
back to still further jar the aching
head of the duke. it bore some.
what different aspect, and the prin-
cipal question that agitated tht
ducal mind was how he was to gel
out of the scrape.
Connolly was summoned and, il
the faint hope that the ceremony
had made no impression, asked j
he remembered aught that happen
ed the night previous. Sir Michae
did and manifested a disquietins
determination to hang on to hi
newly acquired title. But, as have
lesser and greater men before ant
since, he fell a willing victim t,
bribery and finally agreed not t,
press his claim to knighthood. Tn,
price was heavy, but not too higl
, to pay for the suppression of
tale that would make his grace o
Richmond the laughingstock o
, London. and so the duke was turn
ing, satisfied with his morning
work, when the late Sir Michae
; dashed his self congratulations t
the four winds.
"Yis, your grace. III keep quiet,
, he said as he iingled the price o
his title in his pocket, "but,
thoughtfully-"but it will TAX
more than the likes of me to keel
my wife, Lady Michael Connolly
quiet about the matter" And i
. did. Michael was right. She wa
: Lady Michael to her friends iron
that day on and always laid CLAIM
: to the title. The duke was tn
) laughingstock of London, as b
had feared, but reformed man a
well, for he dared take no furthe
risks.-London Taller.

Insects Have Thousands Of, Eyes

The eyes Of insects present sew

large number of minute hexagonal
facets. each Of which is in reality
a cornea. and the marvel is that
every single facet belongs to dis

ROCK sALT.
Il Reveals 70 us Piaes Whsrs Ones
4 Sea Existed.

Salt under groundl 1t seems
strange thing at first to find salt
among the rocks deep down in the
earth. What does rock salt tell us
1t reveals to us place where once
a sea existed. The water has since
flowed away, leaving some salt be-
hind. We know that ordinary salt
exposed to the air soon gets damp
and then becomes quite fluid, but
rock salt away from air and sun
keeps firm for ages.
Rock salt is found in various lay
ers of the earth's crust. Some of
the spaces Of underground water
are called Seas" but, in fact, large
as they we're, they often did not re-
semble the "seas" we have now, be-
cause they were much shallower. A
few were fairly deep, however.
Then, again, these ancient seas
were sometimes so salty that no
animal could live in them and only
few plants.
Such seas, in fact, were mostly
"dead," and this accounts for the
masses of salt deposited along their
bottoms. But we find also signs
of rough water in the numerous
pebbles of the layer where the salt
is found among hard red gravel and
brown quartz.
Germany once had a tolerably
deep sea, not very salt, and the bot
tom surface of it shows coral reefs.
There are signs in it of great fishes
armed with strong teeth, enabling
them to crush the shellfsh upon
which they fed.
These swarmed below the sea in
thousands. North England and the
midlands have the Keuper beds,
where the "seas" were always shall
low and where we can trace the
marks Of raindrop filterings and
sun cracks. The rock salt is often
in layer 100 feet thick. 1t is sup
posed that one part of these seas
was separated from another part by
bar of eand, over which the waves
toppled only now and then.
In the cutoff sea evaporation
went on through the ages, and OF
course deposit of salt was formed,
while the occasional overflow from
outside replaced the water which
had evaporated. But really this is
not known for certain. 1t is only
clear rock salt that contains the
minerals we find in our present sea
water-bromine, iodine and mag
nesia.
Generally this salt is not mixed
with fragments of a different sub
stance, but is in columns of rough
crystals. Now and then there il
found layer of rock salt, with one
of mari and shells under it, succeed
ed by rock salt again, showing that
for time change had take1
place.
Upon the land near these shallow
salt seas lived some singular ami
mails, unlike those of our earth il
the later centuries of its history
There were remarkable reptiles be
longing to the frog or batrachiar
family. One of the species was th'
size of a small OK, with peculiar
complicated teeth and feet which
left prints on the earth so exactly
like the impressions Of the human
hand that biologists gave it Latir
name, meaning ''the beast with tn,
hand" Another strange creatur,
was sort of lizard with horn,
bill and feet resembling those o
the duck. 1t had somewhat tn
appearance of turtle, it is sup
posed. Then there were som
warm blooded animals about tn
size of a rat, which had pouche
in their cheeks and proved upol
small insects. - st. Louis Globe

The Many-Man Power

We employ on our Copy Staff the ablest
men we know We have picked them
out, in the course of years, by the bril-
liant results we have seen them accom-
piish.
No one else pays for such talent what
we pay. So We attract here the very best
in the field.
Then, in this vortex Of advertising
this school of myriad experiences
these men multiply their powers.
Yet we never permit any one OF these
men to work out campaign alone. There
is too much at stake.
One man can't know all the pitfalls.
One man has limited knowledge, limited
ideas and experience. And no one man
can average human nature.

FINANCIAL STRINCENCY In PLUM ALLEY

The Chinese will celebrate their New
Year this week. The Chinese New Year
falls this year on Jan. q. which is about
two weeks earlier than usual The cele-
bration usually lasts for week. and in
some of the larger cities Of the country
will last that long this year But in Salt
Lake the last year has not been good
to the Orientals and two days will bring
an end TO their celebration here.

spirit which the Chinese as a rule mani
feet on New Years day, For all, from
the richest to the poorest, the past year
has been hard with the Chinese, and but
little money has been laid aside for this
event. 1t will be about all the poor Chi
nese here can do this winter to settle
up their yearly accounts and start the
new year with a clean sheet For it
is written in the laws of the Chinese that
on New Years day all debts and Obli-
cations must be settled, even though It
takes the last yen.
In years gone by Plum alley was the
scene of much merrymaking and feast
ing during the week of the Chinese New
Year. The white people took this Oppor-

Along social and educational lines the

This incompatible service costs the
price of the commonplace. We handle
advertising on the usual agents COM
mission.
We multiply results to multiply adver-
Using. We create successes because sue
cesses expand. And our revenue comes
through expansion.
We spend on copy what other great
agencies spend on soliciting, and we con-

Before we had Advisory Boards, too
many campaigns failed to bring back
their cost. Other agents have the same
experience still
Now our failures are so rare, and our
successes so great, that our business has
multiplied many times over.
So we need to charge nothing extra.
We can better afford to keep accounts than
