Mr.. Dalton laughed. why, Irene It
would be money thrown away"
mo, II wouldn't, papa, and II you will
let me Join l promise to pay back every
cent It costs you.'
Il can't afford it," he said, laughing.
Irene left the room, but not hopeiessly.
She knew she could persuade her father
II she would promise to return the money
II cost him.
She was an ambitious girl and she wanted
TO go to Omaha when she had graduated
from the sewing school. There was not
much nance Of success in the small town
where she lived, but she was confident she
would succeed as a seamstress In a larger
place.
And she gained her point as far as the
school was concerned, and after six
months Of hard work, we find her In
Omaha.
She first went to all the dress making
establishments in the city, and failing In
her purpose there, she repaired to the dry
goods stores. But the busy season was
over and no one needed q seamstress.
She was rooming at a cheap unpreten-
tious house, and was eating almost Moth
ing, in order to have the money last till
she found a position
But the day came when her small fund
was exhausted and she was obliged to so
home. ,
As she walked to the depot she thought

one had rdiculed her idea. And in her
brave little heart she would almost rather
have starved than be the talk of the
town when she returned.
She sat down in the chair car beside an
old gentleman. who was reading an omaha

He noticed her fearful, wistful eyes and
Inquired in q kind wa II he might assist
her.
Irene looked at him and saw he was a
kin gentleman and would sympathize
with her.
So she related to him the events Of the
last six months.
You poor child" he said. Il wish
could help you. but - Did you look

me out Of several dilemma and also

Eagerly she glanced over the page and
finally her eyes rested on the above ad.
The Joy depicted on her face was in
describable.
She then went to apply FOR the posi-
tion, first banking him kindly for the
great benefit she had received by him.
The position was given her at once, and
1t proved to be entirely satisfactory.

Senator Plat of New York has failed

OF men who have occupied seats in the

in the cloakrOOTsl the other day a story
of Senator Simon Cameron of Pennsyi-

A WORKING PASSENGER.
(Youth's Conpanion.D


A persistent lawyer who had been try
ing TO establish a witnesses suspicious
connection with an offending railroad,
was at last elated by the witness ad-
mission that he "had worked on the
railroad"

isfied smile. You say you have worked

YES"
For how long a period ?"
''On and off for seven years. OF since

No 1 did not say that 1 was EN-
ployed by the p. T. & X. / said ''ad
worked on the road, off and on, for that
length of time"
DO you wish to convey the impress
sion that you have worked for the p.

ward?" asked the attorney.
Absolutely without reward" the wit
ness answered calmly. For seven

windows in the p. T. & Y. cars, and
never once have succeeded"

While the. United States is wrestling
with the problem of how TO exclude the
Oriental laborers from this country

WHIPPED INA NOVEL.

A German author with strong i'm
agination has written a novel. Ban
zair' which probably embodies the Teu-
tonic idea of the fighting strength OF
the army and navy of the United
States The book describes a war be-
tween this country and Japan in this
year OF our Lord, and the forces Of Tn
Gle Sam are annihilated on land and
sea. A great naval engagement is
fought between Admiral Togo and Ad-
miraI Perry. and the American ships
are blown out of the water in short
order. Then the American volunteer
army goes against the veteran Japan
csc soldiers in the Blue mountains of
eastern Oregon and meets crushing
defeat
The book has been widely read along
the Rhine, and has been republished in
this country. Notwithstanding the gen.
eraI belief of American citizens that
they can whip all animated creation
should war suddenly break out it
would find us unprepared to put up
stiff fight at the beginning, and should
Japan be our opponent, the absence of
the fleet from the Pacific coast might
prove disastrous. But if Admiral Togo
OF any other Jap admiral ever tries
conclusions with the warships at pres
ent under the command of Vinegar
Bal' Sperry, Davy Jones' locker will
be crowded with little brown men and
a miscellaneous assortment of junk
Another thing. There isn't any danger
of a foreign army swooping down on US
like a wolf on the fold. A strong fleet
might lombard the Pacific coast cities,
but no country on earth would risk
sending transports loaded with soldiers
across the wide expanse of ocean to en-
gage in battle with a civilized country
with a population of 1Oo. ZOO. 600.
The German novel, while recording
highly improbable, if not impossi-
BILE events, serves to call atten-
ton to the unpreparedness of this
country for war. An ounce of preven-
ton being worth more than a pound Of
cure, it might be well if ample pro-
visions were made against all possible
contingencies.

MARKS AND HIS BILL.

He's a senator, and his name is
Marks. OF course, it will be generally
understood that reference is made to
the salt Lake county statesman, who
has achieved fame at q single bound
By the introduction of a commission
bill I'm the legislature. II was John
Keats who discovered that "a thing OF
beauty is a joy forever and evidently
the poet, while in a fine frenzy, was
enabled to lift the veil and behold the
Marks bill of d century later. 1t mat
tiers not that the measure is loosely
drawn. OF that it sets at defiance the
constitution of the state of Utah. It's
a great joy. nevertheless and notwith-
standing.
1t would be fine stroke of policy to
turn the fire and police departments of
Salt Lake over to the gangsters in
control " the Republican party in the
state Doubly so if that so-called
LIQUOR regulation bill should also be
passed and the matter of issuing IL
censes and levying political assessments
at the same time be put into the hands
of the same outfit.
We feel to congratulate the constitu-
ents of Marks that so much legal acu-
men and political wisdom found in one
volume should represent them in the
state senate.
II is said that the colleagues of the
pride Of Salt Lake county regard the
ripper bill as a joke. Be it so. Marks
undoubtedly is a Joke. too.
