Z ELLIS OF
STORMS
NONE LIKE THE ONE NOW IN
PROGRESS.
Farmers Have Raised Crops Without
lrrigation-Hias the Climate OF
Utah Changed-Snow Falls.

a heavy, cold rain has prevailed In
Ogden and vicinity since about l
o'clock last night, as a result of which
most outdoor work has been suspend
ed and the visits TO the fair have been
less frequent than at any other time
since the fair opened
1t is quite a remarkable storm for
this time of year and some OF the old
timers do not hesitate to say 1t is
the most unusual occurrence in many
years. In fact, many of them say the
climate Is changing 10 marked de-
gree. Farmers say 1t has hardly been
necessary to irrigate the lands this
season TO raise a good crop, The sum-
mer months have been visited by rain
storms nearly every week and the
ground has been kept in moist con-
dition since the beginning OF spring.
The extraordinary feature of the
storm is in the sudden change of tenn
perature. AT 2 o'clock this afternoon
the thermometer registered only IS
degrees above zero, which was big
drop from the temperature OF 20 de-
greeS yesterday
Snow fell on the mountain sides to
within a few miles of the city. The
older residents say they cannot re-
member snow falling here at this
time of year.
1t is feared by the sugar beet peo-
pie and the officers at the factory
that the storm Of last night and to-
day viii so impede progress In beet
digging as 10 render it quite impossi-
BILE 10 open the factory next Monday.
The factory may not begin operations
earlier than the middle of next week,
and II the weather continues for a
number OF days to be OF this wet kind,
the factory may not open until the
twentieth OF the month.

VALUABLE AS HONEY FINDER
Bee Cuckoo of Africa of Great Service
to the Natives and Protected
by Them.


One of the most sagacious Of birds
Is certainly the bee cuckoo, or moroc,
a little bird very like the English
sparrow.
It is found in various parts of Afri-
ca where wild bees abound, and, being
unable to help itself to the honey,
which is its fayorite food, it resorts
to human aid.
Having discovered swarm OF bees,
it flies to the nearest habitation, and
attracts by it's cries of Cher, cherr,
cherr," the attention of some of the
natives. It then flies off in the direc-
ton of the nest, uttering its cry and
waiting for its followers to oVertake
it. Should they be tardy it returns
to meet them, and seems as if trying
to urge them on to greater speed, the
natives answering it with low whis-
tie.
Arrived at its destination, it is 81
lent, waiting patiently on the bough
of neighboring tree while it's hui
man friends dig out the nest, good
share of the honey on the comb con-
tanning the bee maggots, being left by
them for their feathered guide.
The natives never injuRe this bird.
and always prevent travellers from
shooting it.

THE LIVING BEFORE THE DEAD
Common Sense Opinion Clothed in
Poetic Language Delivered
from the Bench.

One might say that John Driscoll's
ears burned while Judge Marean read
his decision in court the other day.
except that such a statement might
be open to misconstruction. For John
has been dead for two years. Just the
same, whatever may be the feelings
of the deceased about the matter,
Judge Marean's common sense ought
to come in for a bit of reward.
Driscoll left his estate of few
thousand dollars to the church he at
tended at Far Roekaway on condition,
literally, that his grave be kept green.
In his viii he commented with a GER
tain austerity upon the common prac-
tice of neg1ecting the green tents be-
meath which the greater part OF man
kinds army is bivouacked, and de-
vised his thousands with an eye to
making John Driseolrs grave thing
of beauty to the end of time.
But John Driscoll had some collat-
eral relatives, poor and ill-cIad and
on the verge of starvation. Maybe
they never did anything for John Drls-
coll during his life. Maybe John DTS
coll even hated them. But nevertae-
less they are i'll and in need, and that
money John Driscoll gave to the grave
might keep them in comfort for their
few remaining years. No hint through
the documents as to their previous re-
lation to John DriscoT.
But Judge Marean held that it is
better that the hungry be fed and the
ill-cIad be clothed and the fatherless
be comforted than that mound OF
earth be lowered and gardened. The
revolving seasons may well care for
John Driscolls grave. The winter
may cover it with glittering mantle
and the spring adorn 1t with budding
flowers, and the summer weave above
it thick green coyerlid, which in its
turn the fall may grant russell hue.
Let the law be as merciful to the liV-
ing as God is to the dead. ''-Cincin-
natl Times-Star.

a Hooarthian Inn Sian.

One of the most humorous inn signs
is 1.-The Man Loaded with Mischief, !"
which is found about a mile from Cam
bridge, England, on the Madingley
road. The original Mischief was de-
signed by Hogarth for a public house
in Oxford street.
1t is needless to say that the sign
board and even the name, have long
ago disappeared from the busy Lon
con thoroughfare, but the quaint de-
vice must have been extensively
copied by country sign painters.
There is a MISCHIEF at Walling-
ford and a Load of Mischief at
Norwich. The inn on the Madingley
road, exhibits the sign in its original
form Though the colors are much
faded from exposure to the weather.
traces of Hogarthian humor can be
detected. A man is staggering under
the weight of a woman, who is on his
back She is holding glass of gin
i'll her hand; chain and paddock are
around the man neck, labeled WED
lock" On the right hand is the shop
Of IS. GRIPPE, PaWnbroker," and a car
renter is just going in to pledge his
tools.

Official STANDING. of Kiss.

Homer describes how the servants
of the noble Odysseus kissed his head,
shoulders and hands, and he also
states with his usual exactness, which
class of servants was entitled to do
homage in this manner and which
class had to be satisfied with a hand
shake. Thus in Rome it was custom
airy to kiss the head, the hands, the
tunics or the feet Of prominent men.
according to the rank of those who
saluted. In the beginning of the i'm
perial era a prominent Roman could
not appear in public but that he was
almost deyoured by his admirers.
Dioeletian introduced the kiss Of honor,
which was given by the emperor for
particular merits in tile public vel
fare, just as decorations are given to-
day.

THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL
why should the Parish Printer Have to
struggle for His Compensation ON
Competitive Contract Basis?
Remedy Suggested
From New Orleans Item.

From New Orleans 1tem
We may be pardoned, perhaps, for
Offering, while our comrades of the
Louisiana Press Association are in
session, suggestion or two concern
ing certain practical features bearing
upon the interests of country news
papers. Every person who has ever
had anything to do with country news
papers will understand quite clearly
the satisfaction felt by the publisher
and editor in being able to place al
the masthead of his paper the siguii
cant legend, "Official Journal of the
Parish OF Blank. !"
It would be tedious to enter into the
details of the heartburnings, the
soured tempers and the bitter disap
pointm9nt of those experienced in con-
tending for that coveted prize, the
right to the privileges and emoluments
OF the official journal. We are of the
opinion that journalism has suffered
immeasurably from these oftentimes
unseemly struggles aud it is certain
that few newspapers receive the com
pens alton TO which they ought to be
entitled.
The question has often been asked,
"Why should every other officer of the
parish be given decent fixed eompen
sation for term of years and the poor
parish printer be compelled to struggle
for his position and compensation
upon a competitive contract basis?
The question is worth thoughtful con
sideration by every serious-minded
newspaper man. Why not accord
the position of sheriff to the lowest
bidder, if this principle with regard Is
the parish printer be the correct one:
Why not make the doctors bid for the
position of coroner and the lawyers
bid for the positions of judge and dis
trict attorney, and the bookkeepers
| bid for treasurer and clerk Of court,
and SO on down the line?
OF course, If the parish official
printer was d position Of great prof
and the parish advertising cost large
sums of money the contract system
would be necessary; but in no parish
in Louisiana is the advertising very
large Hence, would it not be more
satisfactory all around for the legisla-
aure to change the law, by establishing
maximum and minimum compens alton
for the parish printer and making him
elective just as is the case with the
other parish officers? Suppose the
law should tx $500 as the minimum
and $1,000 as the maximum salary for
the parish printer, make only bona.
ide newspaper men eligible to the Office
and then require them to be elected
along with the other parish officers;
what reasonable objection could any
body urge against it?
The stationery, of course, might be
properly let out to the lowest bidder;
but it seems to US that the parish
printer shouldbe elected just as parish
officers are elected, and he ought to be
paid a reasonable salary for his work.

india women,s Fine Jewelry.

ut is rare thing to see the women
of India these days wearing any yalu-
able gold iewelry, as they did IN years
gone by" said Charles Gawtrey Of
Bombay.
when I first went to the Orient the
women of the upper class commonly
owned and wore thick chains and
bracelets Of the finest gold and OF
exquisite workmanship. In these times
of pinching poverty they are too re-
duced financially to possess any ex-
pensiye ornaments and instead Of the
gold trinkets Of their affuent days
they would have formerly despised.
IL is pitiable to witness, as have, the
decline IN the fortunes Of the people.
Affect poverty Is seen everywhere,
and the gaunt specter Of starvation IS
ever at the side Of millions Of human
beings ID that iiIfated land. .
