THEY HELPED THEIR NEIeHRoR.

Down at Springville-we trust the
name is spelled correctly this time-a
man named Simpkin had the smallpox,
and his family was in quarantine. His
sugar beets must be harvested and
hauled to the factory. He could not
move a hand. 1t would have been more
than likely the whole sugar factory
would have gone on strike if beets gath
cred by smallpox patients, and hauled
by a man from a quarantined domicile.
had come to the watts.
So the neighbors went upon the Simp-
kin farm, gathered the beets-and most
of YOU know that is no small labor;
hauled the beets to the factory, and
brought him the credits which are to
be realized in cash.
That was rather a worthy thing to
do. Very likely the neighbors had work
of their own to do. Very likely some
of them made sacrifices to do this serv-
ice for a neighbor. But the very extent
of their cost was the measure of their
merit
'Inasmueh as We did it unto one of
the least of these, We have done it unto
Me"

In Union Square, this very eve
And men and maidens homeward stray

As back and forth the swallows
Into the leaping waters flashed,
Then flung away
But to return and cut the spray
With crosswise wind in endless play;
And if they rest
MOmently on a lily pad,
Where rise the waters to each breast
Off they wing on journeys mad
North, south, east, west,
AS if self-conseious in their glee
And glad that human eyes could see;
And If they said, - while be glad;
Forget, We mortals, all We may.
Forget last night, forget today,
Forget tomorrow,
Forget the blood stain on the pave,
Growing mercifully dim,
Just outside the fountain rim,
Where dazed boy in murder soiled
The passion of the souls that tofled;
Forget the haunting sorrow;
Forget the demagogs that rave
Forget the starvlings-all the pain
OF this strange world; forget ii all;
Forget the thunder and the rain;
Listen to the birds that call;
Get joy from the glisten of their wings;
Be happy with all happy things;
Just for little time

But not too long, o not too long.

And we may grow more sure and

MAKING THEIR OWN FURNITURE

According to the Craftsman-one of
the best monthly publications, men of
fortune and good sense-the things
often go together-have fallen into the
habit of making pieces of furniture for
their own rooms.
They have their banks, or their stores
or their offices in the daytime, but in
spare moments they have learned the
handling of tools, the quality of wood
or metal, and the ability to produce
things of use and beauty for the en-
riehment Of their homes, and the in
heritance of their children.
Nothing could be more desirable than
a chair, or case, or table, wrought out
by the hand of one who worked simply
because he loved the wOrk-ard knew
the high value of it.
It is to be hoped the Craftsman is
right in the belief that the cult will
have a wide influence. The tendency
of the past centuries has been to make
labor. disliked. Most boys know no
higher aspiration than to make a lot
of money without working hard for it.
And yet there is not in all the world so
sure a road to happiness as that which
leads through labor of the hands, and
the feet, and the whole devoted body.
1t is a thing to be encouraged, too, be-
cause nothing can so enrich home as
the presence in it of furniture fash
Toned by one we love.

NOT ENEMY's COUNTRY.

Senator Aldrich said he was going to
visit the west. and discuss the central
bank plan with the people; and one of
his critics expressed surprise that he
should venture into ''the enemy's coun-
try
But the west is not enemy's country
to Senator Aldrich, o. any other man
who gives sincere effort to the solution
of the problems of the nation. Every
man of business knows there are grave
defects in the monetary system of our
country They realize that in finance
they are not yet arrived at perfect
methods. They do not believe the prob
lem is beyond human solution. And
they are looking for the best plan.
That is the case with thoughtful men
everywhere in the nation. And they
know Senator Aldrich is a very capable
man, a very shrewd fiTiancier. They be-
lieve he is as likely as any other TO de-
wise the plan which shall make our
monetary fabric as sound as is the COM
mercial, or the physical And they are
going to listen to him with good deal
of interest. II he presents plans that
commend themselves to the judgment
of the bankers and business men of the

business men of the west will be for
them, and will be for Aldrich. They
have no fight with him. Where men
are looking for light there is no ZEN

the best plan. Congressman Fowler
doesn't. But the people of the nation

/ celIent opportunity TO study the ques-
ton. And out of the honest effort at
the best way, the best way is certain to
come.

THE VAMPIRE HAT.

with Apologies to Rudyard Kipling)
A girl there was and she bought hat,
Even as you and T.
And the crown was deep and the brin

And on the top perehed a vampire bat,
With button for an eye.
On, the times she went and the times she
And the various shapes she scanned.
Before she discovered the mansion where
She purchased this recherche affair,
You probably understand!
Now. she lived in suite. oh, tres petite,
Even as you and l.
With everything up to date and neat,
Electric lighting and steam for heat;
But the width of the hall was scant TWO
feet
We know them, you and I.
Oh. the toll it cost and the sleep she lost
And the wonderful schemes she planned
To get that Paris creation in
To her tiny flat was crying sin.
And if 1 should tell you, you wouldn

man, she did IT'D
Now, this girl had a husband, slim and

And when he came home he heard heI

And he found her wedged in the narrow
hall
Between the hat and the plastery wall.
And she couldn't stand and she couldn'i
fall,
And she couldn't creep and she couldn't
crawl,
And she looked-well, really not at all,
As a perfect lady should.
And it wasn't the shame and it WASH

VOTES FOR BABIES.

Let no man say a Catholic priest has
no sense of humor. Father Phelan, ed
itOr OF the Western Waterman, refutes
the thought in a recent article propos-
ing votes for babies,
Not that he would require the babies
to vote, but that he would give to each
family a voting strength based on the
number of children in the household
For example, If there were ten children,
he would allow the family twelve votes
one for the father, one for the mother,
and ten for the ten children. If the
parents agreed politically, ne would
let the father cast the whole twelve
ballots. If they did not agree, he would
have the man vote for himself and for
all of the boys, and the mother vote for
herself and all her girls.
The eminent churchman adds that
one effect would be to "disfranchise ut
terly the childless and screening sis
terhood," Which is a view with some
thing 10 commend it,
There is reason for the franchise
based on property. since the man with
a. home has a definite stake in the COM
monwealth. And there is reason for the
manhood suffrage.
Why not reason for that better inter
est expressed in the possession of chill
dren?

WILD OATS AGAIN.

John Nielsen. writing in the Vernal
Express, unconsciously adds something
to the argument in favor of law for
the destruction of noSious weeds in
Utah-wild oats being .ne of the weeds
most to be legislated against.
Mr.. Nielsen points out that he has
tried 10 eradicate the wild oats, and
that either seed from less careful farm
ers get into his land. or the seed he
buys contains the undesired element.
He realizes the effect is to lower the
grade of his grain, and the consequent
injury TO the whole product of the state.
Most OF the counties in Utah are agri-
cultural in their chiefest interest. 1t
will be strange if the people do not send
their order TO the legislature next fall,
and secure a law that will help them so
far as the destruction Of the noxious

in reading them.
For one thing, these little people shame

MRS. M'cUNE's HOME.

A number of men and women had
asked Mrs. Susa Young Gates to take
them through the residence of her
friend, Mrs. A. ". McCune, ST. They
wanted simply TO look at the beauties
of the place under conditions more
leisurely than those obtaining at a time
of thronging company; at a time of so
ci4l activities. They wanted a little
closer inspection of the homes adorn-
ments than was possible in the presence
of many guests. And Mrs. Gates won
Mrs. McCune's permission.
There win be no attempt here to give
detailed description Of the interior. AS
an object of interest 1t is worthy more
than a limited article. And there are
other considerations which make the
describing almost an invasion Of that
privacy which is sacredly accorded every
home.
And yet a home in which much money
has been expended with perfect taste. a
home in which the right use of fortune
is evident itself constitutes an invita-
ton. One cannot see the massive woods
OF the dining room. the great rug that
expresses the perfection of Asia's handi-
craft. the glass and silver that a prince
might prize-one cannot look indiffer-
emily on these things.
One of the marvels of the establish
ment is its variety. In one place the
atmosphere is wholly old English; in
another IL is the France of the Grand
Monarch: in another it is the slender
and exquisite furnishing of the Eastlake
cult. But in each case, every article
in the room, from the satin tapestry on
the walls to the marvellous frescoes of
the ceiling-all are in perfect accord.
The atmosphere" is maintained per-
fectly-in tone, in color, in material.
Such home is a distinct asset of the
community. An investment so large
and at the same time so tastefully ac-
complished, is a standard of measure
ment which cannot be forgotten. There
are rooms in which one catches the
spirit of the big manhood which made
the adOrnments possible. There are
others into which one does not penetrate
rooms in which the night silences
bring deep communings, and the dawns
bring the opening gates from a land of
dreams-and out of which comes the
love and the labor. the strength and the
power to make this testimony to the
loft theme Of the builders soul
The little company looked at the Nc
Cune residence, and watched from its
mountain and valley. And each one
came away gentler and stronger for the
better knowledge of the treasures that
enrich US all.

side Among the guests was boy who
had been to Topeka, so she had heard.
She had some acquaintance in Topeka
and tried to draw him out, inquiring:
How did you like Topeka%
The young fellow blushed and looked
down before he murmured:
"Oh, pretty WELL
DO you know many people there?" she
continued, trying to get him interested,
and attributing his reticence to bashful-
ness.
WHY, not many" he said, tugging at
his collar as if il were strangling him.

YOU were there2" she asked.

of the affairs at the park"
She talked about other things, and
later, when an opportunity came, asked
the hostess why that boy had been so
reticent about talking about Topeka. The
hostess threw up her hands.
I'VE simply had to invite him. she
replied. He belongs to a good family.

LITERATURE AS A LAST RESORT.

A novelist who lives near Indianapolis
once engaged an individual who claimed
to be a gardener. That this claim was
without basis OF fact was soon made
evident to the employer. for the man
proved well-nigh useless-so useless, in
fact that il became necessary to dis
charge him.
The man took his dismissal with such
jaunty Indifference that the novelist was
somewhat nettled. You seem rather
pleased than otherwise, said he TO the
man.
'.Oh. amt worryin'." was the prompt
response.
Indeed, Perhaps you won't do so well
