must live in order to feed the flame.
From this enchanting stage, the men advanced to
a stage of unconventionality that impossible.

1t certainly has manners. And yet several of

subject of my work. and, such as it really was

excellent anchor; for the Studio Girl is unquiet
soul, and is proud when she has to show up three
receptions between dinner and dawn. 1t shows that
she is in the game. She develops the habit of the
quick change in dress, and SO acquires that Burne

be off at eight. At the furious pace she keeps she
cannot afford cabs; she goes about in street cars
often in the rain, and arrives at the banquet hall
actually soppy.
She runs to garlands, upholstery effects corsetess
bodices, jewelry that canks when she walks and the
hair effects something Vedderesque in their weird
sadness She beats all long di ,tance championship
records in the Cultivation of the Queer.
These ways all bad. and they become habits
that cling Some of never get over them until we

Janitors look at it that way too and you hear their

Naturally, man who makes good living manu-

center to conceal his innermost emotions cannot ap

paper of his most sacred and at the same time most
violent impulses.

mer and would you believe me- every morning, be-
fore breakfast, she jumps over the end of the bed
with half tomato on her and sliced cucumber
on her forehead!
No doubt these others take the Studio Life more
easily than do They do not overidealize and suffer
the inevitable reactions. And many of them have
husbands amony and do not actually have to
support themselves. They never, maybe believed
in the aristocracy of brains, and therefore were
ways rotter

She must herd in the Studios in the cooperative

far better work in her own home And she would
escape the fate of becoming half-sexed posenv, in

But she ies to the Studio and starts in to live on

months more of late hours insufficient food, and
constant leak of talk, she finds that she has lost

DOLLY AND MILTON MOBILES.

1t is worth while living to old age
just to see the names: Dolly and Mil
ton Mobiles" on the playful.
They have been before the theatre
going public for a lifetime No one will
ask either of them-particularly the
lady--to what age they have attained.
But the records show that they have
presented the hero and the heroine. and
have baffled the villain, for time where
of the memory of the ordinary critic
runneth not to the contrary.
And here they are again-to para
phrase the words of the clown. They
are said to be young-looking as ever
to have dehed time, and all that. Which
is good news for their old friends, and
not bad news for the new.
Some one says they are playing al
the Bungalow. They should be rich as
Croesus, for they have made merry
more hearts than any two actors from
the rising to the setting of the sun. And
it is to their credit that they have moi
yet decided TO close their comforting
careers.

HELP CATCH THE ROBBERS.

Nobody in Salt Lake wants a winter
carnival of crime.
There have been a good many rob-
berries here and there about town. Some
of them are of the fragrant sort that
amaze the observer with their success.
It seems beyond belief that the robbers
can war against society, and escape. 1t
walk into a drug store in the flush of
the evening, rob the cash register. and
make good their escape without some
| telltaIe evidence which will lead to GER
tain arrest and conviction
1t seems totally beyond belief that
street cars can be robbed, the crew
stripped Of their money and that of the
company. 1t seems totally impossible
that men can be stepped night after
night on the street, their pockets rif1ed
in the best style OF Dick Turpin and
his men-and never a chance at cap
| ture.
This is the twentieth century, with
all the accessories of civilization. Crime
| should hide its diminished head. But
it don't. The despoiled citizens bear
! sorrowful testimony to that.
Now, is there anything the citizens
can do? Granted the police are doing
all in their power, is there any aid the
| people generally, the householder, the
workingman, the merchant, the clerk
the passer on streets at night; is there
any word he can bring to the police au-
| thorities?
No one wants a winter carnival OF
crime. If there be information that the
people can bring to the officers, let II
be brought promptly, freely, and hon.
estly. Salt Lake should not be under
the dominion of the lawless. Help the
police if you can.

DAY OF CHEAP PAPER.

1t is now stated on what may be re-
garded as reliable authority that the
day of cheap print paper has passed.
No matter what may be the tariff on
paper, it will never again be as low in
price as it has been in the past. So say
the papermakers.
And the rascals are probably telling
the truth. Also, there seems to be rea-
son for their statement. Time was
when all the woods were crowded with
material out of which paper could be
made. Time was when there was wheat
straw enough in the country to make all
the paper the country needed.
Now. if there were nothing more than
straw, there would be no papers, ex-
cepting at a fabulous price.
Time was when paper could be made
of rags. Now, the rags are worth more
as paper material than they are as
clothes; and no man need be shabby in
the neighborhood of a paper MILL
They turned 10 the dissolving of wood

FLOWING WELLS IN THE
DESERT.

Down beyond Nephi they have struck
water at four hundred feet, in drilling
their state experiment we'll. And it
rises to less than a hundred feet of the
surface of the ground. The Nephi peo
pie most interested want the driIler to
go down another two hundred feet,
where they believe he will strike a flow
ing we'll
If he does, there is no desert in Utah.
That is the significant thing about
the well at Nephi.
There is probably not an acre Of dry
land in the state on which water can
not be found by digging deep enough.
If they can, by going to lower strata,
get a stream that comes from noun
tain sources, and will rise to the level
of the farms-there will be no day of
desolation in all this fair state. Every
acre will be doubled in value Not a
rod of the sand and sage will be left for
future generations. Every possible
tract will be taken up, cultivated. sup
piled with a well-and rated at worth
in thousands of dollars.
There is not in all the mountain re-
gion so important a work as this of the
state in digging experimental wells IN
the various sections. Success has been
achieved in several cases. This work
at Nephi will prove nothing to the harm
Of the section, or of the dry-farm inter-
est anywhere. And il may prove the

into paper pulp. and men believed they
had material enough to last forever.
But they know now that they have
exhausted the supply. They can culti-
vate paper material. but they will never
sell it as low as they have in the past.
You people who are getting The Her
ald-Republican for seventy-fve cents
a month are very fortunate. The wise
ones will subscribe at that price for q
term of years. For the makers of paper
are going to raise their price from time
to time until even a management will
ing to give half the apple and all the
core will be compelled to raise the price
whether or not they like.
The day of cheap paper has passed.
