TO MARRY ANNA BELLE.

At the end of his fifth long, black
cigar Perkins decided that of the
Murray twins it was Miss Anna
Belle who was necessary to his
continued veal and welfare. That
is to say, he believed Miss Anna
Belle had the merriest, most
roguish twinkle in her Irish-gray
eyes. For no man could say This
is Miss Eugenia" and This is Miss
Anna Belle" and be certain he
spoke the plain truth.
Having arrived at thus happy a
conclusion, Mr.. Perkins arose and,
humming a little butterfly song, ar
rayed himself after the pattern Of
men who go proposing. An hour
later he found himself in an uncom-
fortably twisted Roman chair fac
ing a lady with a wealth of heaped-
up dark hair, complexion for
Madame Juno-and merry, gray
eyes that twinkled to shame the
evening star.
Mr. Perkins, leaning over the
sparkling lady, suddenly blurted:
81 love you!"
oh" murmured the lady in the
wicker chair. Really this Is un.

Il adore you!" added Mr.. Per
kins, in amplification.

Perkins" said the lady, her Irish
gray eyes becoming very sober.
Then you give me hope, Anna

ing for one of the delicate hands.

the impulse, he decided to follow

hallway, he almost collided with a
lady retreating.

WELCOME TO WATERLOO.

Hear ye. hear ye The district of Wa
terloo is welcome to come into the city
of Salt Lake.
Salt Lake will open the front door. and
lay a strip of its best carpet clear down
to the edge of the sidewalk, for the re
ception Of Waterloo. And there will be
a feast of receiving that will be worth
the attention Of ali the rest Of Salt Lake
that up to the present has remained out
side the corporate limits.
The willingness Of Waterloo people to
become a part of the city is especially
appreciated at this time, when we are
approaching the national census period.
Without a doubt the city will not get
credit for the people that are actually
residents unless these outlying districts
shall attach themselves to the city.
They get a good deal of benefit from
the city, and we believe the people of
Forest Dale and all the rest will follow
the excellent example of Waterloo. and
accept annexation.
This is the biggest thing the city of
Salt Lake can do in the months between
now and April of next year-when the
counting commences.

FORTUNES FOR THE PLAYERS.

Aside from the sporting attraction of
these final baseball games in the east,
it will be observed that the players are
fated to become rich men. Pretty near
ly $500 a day is won by each player,
whether his club is winner or loser in
the contest. Besides, each club receives
close to $4,000 a day-its share of the
gate receipts.
Detroit and PittsbUrg are playing the
greatest series of games ever known to
followers of baseball. 1t is interesting
millions of people in every part of the
United States. No country on earth has
ever watched so numerously the decid-
ing contests in any sport. And it is
gratifying to know that the players are
above the suspicion of doing less than
their best The highest possible tribute
that men can earn is enjoyed by the
managers, who have convinced the
world that the contests are on the
square, and that the best club is going
to win.
With such a record, the splendid
money prizes bestowed on the players is
heartily approved. Clean sport is worth
that-and more.

WAFER FOB SAN FRANCISCO.

While President Taft is looking over
the Yosemite region, he is hearing both
sides of the Hetch-Hetchy water prof.
ect. And he is pretty sure to conclude
that sentiment is all against taking the
water and the absolute need of man IS
all on the other side.
Human life is a very practical thing.
1t needs some things-and has to have
them. Water is one. San Francisco
needs more water than it has or is
likely to get by any means short of the
Hetch-H etchy supply.
1t would be vandalism TO take one at
tribute of beauty from the Yosemite.
But it would be blank foolishness TO
preserve the beauty of one small section
of the park. and by so doing deprive d
great and growing city of a needed wa
ter supply.
We have little doubt the influence Of
the President will be thrown on the side
of the movers for the water.
And. as a cold matter of fact, it Will
take nothing appreciate from the
beauty of the park, either.

HOME READING EoR PUPILS.

The movement to encourage home
reading By pupils of the public schools
is an excellent thing. But the greatest
care should be observed in making Sc
leetions for them. Popular novels are
all very well for people of mature years,
and others who have no real desire to
improve themselves.
But there are a few books which every
one should know. They provide the hall
marks of education. With them, the
foundation for all appreciation of lit
erature is assured. Without them, no
education can be complete.
Children should know the Bible. No
one should try to impress them with its
divine origin. That is inexcusable. Let
them read it for the beauty they will
find in it, and let no instructor read into
the volume anything that is not there
anything that is not appreciate by the
sensible youth of the age.
Shakespeare is another. People who
do not know Shakespeare are at life
long disadvantage. When they have
that, they can have anything else in
books Without it, they are poor indeed.
All through their lives they will find
the writings of great men and women
enriched with reference to the Bible
and Shakespeare. And the measure of
their familiarity with a reference is the
measure of their good fortune.
After that, they may read other books.
But the responsibility is upon their
elders to make sure the pupils do not
waste time
Let ii be said here. too. that they will
get much pleasure, will enjoy the keen
est of interest. from the reading of those
books. Nothing in lighter works will at
all equal the lasting happiness they will
secure from careful and intelligent mas
terry of these two greatest books.
So that pleasure and profit combine
to urge the selection of the best if the
public school pupil is going to be re-
quired to read at home.
