The Great Vidoca.

VidocQ, the great French detective
 was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he ;p
 turned to Paris with some money. which, however he soon squandereu

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is couched ill a very howery and dam boyant style It is interspersed with variety of meaningless adgIatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the episue. For eXaInr.e. an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "In our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious suH and his moon glitter in the Grinamcn, of his felicity we have authorized eul tncorruptible servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof of the treasury (heaven fi!! fO loan of -" etc.
 Considering that the "incorruptib!~ servant" is fi!ching as much as he pos sible can from the treasury 1t is cor tainly necessary to pray that "hoay@i fill it."-London Graphic.

The Donkey on the Stade.

"It's curi,p,s." said theatrical man. ager who had experienced many ups and downs. how the stage develops jeal0usips. l once had show ou the road in which 1t was necessary t. make use of horse and a donkey We got the animals we'll trained for their parts. and on the opening night they gave a first class performance On the following night, however. We were unable to get the donkey to move out of the wings. Prince, the horse went on without any trouble wha tever. but Jack-that was tue name of the dOnkey-could neither be coaxed nnr driven out before the fOotli~htS. We finally had to go on with the perform, ance with the donkey left out After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up a program. which showed that Princes name was print ed In the sane kind of type we used for Jack. We got new let Of pro- grams the next day with the donk av's name printed in type which was usa- ly twice as big as that which We used for the. horse. After that we never
 had the slightest trouble e"-Chicaga Record Herald

My father Is so rich and has so many horses that his stable is of such extent as to take horse eleven months to go from one end stall to the other 'Shabash, brother re- piled the second boaster, that is very good.

CHANGES IN RULES
FOR LOWER BRANCH

Speaker Robinson yesterday appointed
his committee on rules for the house.
The committee was called to order i'm
mediately after the adjournment of the
session of the house by Chairman Bower
of Utah The committee decided to rec
Ommend a few changes in the rules of the
seventh assembly. but none of these is
very important
Two or three of the standing corhmit-
tees will be separated and made into two
committees, instead Of one. This is the
case with the horticulture and agriculture
committee, which was a single body be-
fore but which. under the new rules will
be two committees. enc on horticulture
and another on agriculture. Like action
was taken with reference TO the commit
tee on education and art This committee
viii be divided. that is. one on education
and another on art. Banking and instIr-
aDce, which were joined, viii be two
separate committees this wear
The committee which previously was
known as the railroad committee will be
abolished and its place taken BY the COM
mittee on public utilities
The committee on rules did not an
point a separate committee on state can't
toll Ii is probable that this was an over
sight inasmuCh as the understanding
seemed to be that a corresponding com
mittee with the senate committee on capi-
tol and capitol grounds be named Per
haps the report will be amended before
it is submitted to the house today. In
named for the capitol and capitol grounds
affairs. matters affecting legislation I'M
der this head will go TO the committee on
public buildings
Afew other changes of minor import
srcv were suggested.

LIQUOR QUESTION
vExING PROBLEM
Legislation viii Probably Be in
Hands of Two Salt Lake
Members in House.

If the present program of the prohibit
tionists is carried out the prohibition
measure, which will cause much discus
sion in the Legislature this year, will be
introduced in a few days by Representa-
tive +. c. Ashton of Salt Lake He and
Representative Joseph J. Cannon, also of
salt Lake, will be given charge of this
legislation in the house anu will work for
the passage of a bill Providing for abso-
lutte prohibition.
The house is divided on the liquor ques-
ton. some fav0ring local option. some
absolute prohibition and a few are OPP
posed to legislation Of any kind respect
ing the liquor question. further than to
enlarge the powers of the authorities in
enforcing the present laws. The action
of the committee to which the bill will
be referred will TO d large extent influ-
eDce the vote of the members of the
house. This committee will be that on
manufactures and commerce. the per-
sonnet Of which has not yet been decided
upon, nor has there been any suggestion
with reference to who shall be the MEM
bers of this committee. The judiciary
committee will also pass on the bill, de-
Gliding whether or not the closing of sa-
looms and breWerieS would he .confisca-
such cOnfiscatiOn would be constitutional.
Even the -prohibitionists concede
that there is strong possibility of a pro-
hibitiOn measure passing the house but
an unmourned death in the senate COM
mittee or be ridered to death by senators
opposed to prohibition. Should this fail
and the prohibition bill pass both houses
of the state legislature those opposing
prohibition will still hope that Governor
Spry will veto the bill and that the legis-
lature will fail to pass it over his veto.
The members of the house of repre-
sentatives from thirteen counties in the
state are pledged by the Republican
county platforms to local option, but mono
is pledged to prohibition. There is some
difference Of opinion with reference to
the meaning of the local option pledge.
Although il was manifestly inserted in
the county platforms as a temperance
measure this ledge may initiate in the
end against temperance. Many of the
members so pledged declare that the local
OF ton plank meant lOcaY option and moth
ing more and the instruction to vote for
local option was in effect a direction to
vote against absolute statewide prohibit
ton. There are others. however who de-
clare that the instruction meant at least
local option, with the implied instruction
to get absolute prohibition if possible
Among certain senators who are opposed
TO prohibition there is a we'll defined pro-
gram to chloroform in committee any
prohibition bill that may reach the senate
