A BISHOP ON THE THEATER

Presiding recently over the annual
meeting of the English actors orphan
age fund, the bishop of London said
of the dramatic profession:
"When see on Saturday afternoon
numbers and numbers of people wait
ing outside a theater l am glad, be-
cause 1 know that tired people in my
diocese are going to get refreshment,
are going to be carried right away out
of their lives into another sphere al
together"
Speaking of church and stage. the
bishop, who himself frequently attends
the theater. continued:
"I want these two great powers to
be drawn more closely together than
they have been. 1t seems to me that
it is for all of us to try to ennoble, en-
liven and brighten the life of the great
city to which we belong; and I have
backed up the Actors Church union
because l look upon it as a brotherly
effort, started by the bishop of South
wark,' to draw our two great profess
sions together"

coouELlNs,s MEMORY

A French magazine relates an ex-
ample of the marvellous memory of the
late Coquelin the elder:
At an evening entertainment given
by a Belgian book collector the great
French comedian was asked how many
parts he knew by heart.
"Fifty-three," was the answer.
The company politely professed doubt
as to the capacity of any human brain
to retain so much. Coquelin smilingly
turned to the host and said:
Take from your library the fifty
three books l shall name and let some
one start reading from any page |
shall then continue the plays from
memory"
All the guests took turns at starting
to read plays at random, and in every
case Coquelin was able to continue
from memory without the slightest
hesitation or pause.

GOSSIP OF THE
LOCAL BOARDS

The lifelong regret of Cheridah Simp-
son. who comes to the Orpheum this
week, is that she was not born a man,
so that she might wear trousers all the
time instead of tights for a few brief
hours each day. That this is not idle
badinage her early success in boy roles
attests. Her principal indictment
against skirts is that they get in the
way of ones feet Many mere man
on the ball room floor has had the same
conviction.
Albert L. Pallaton, who will present
the sketch, "a Spotless Reputation" at
the Orpheum tomorrow afternoon, quit
a railroad office for the stage, and is
from the academic department of
Washington university, ST. Louis, with
the class of 1898. He then went into
railway offices in st. Louis, with the
intention of making the railway busi-
ness his life work. Inside of five years
he had become city passenger and tick
ct agent. But he had a voice and was
singing in the choir of the Second Pres
sbyterian church of st. Louis. Alfred
Robyn author Of 1.-THE Yankee Consul"
"The Yankee Tourist" and other stage
successes, was leader of the choir. He
became interested in young Pallaton
and in 1905 took him with him to New
York and introduced him to Henry w.
| Savage. Mr.. Savage put him on as one
of his baritones in the English produc-
tion of "Parsifal."

FARM AND DAIRY
Timely Clippings That Will
Interest the Farmer and
Dairyman
Gumption On the Farm

If you hoe your own row with
diligence you will have little leisure
to note how your neighbor his hoe
ing his.
Better have patches on your
pants, than a lot of unpaid bills and
threatening creditors.
How can any man sleep well at
night when he has scolded and
whipped his horses all day.
Beginning to think about your
wood-pile? That's right. Cold
nights make us creep up about the
stove.
Enough dry wood and chips to
last a week ahead is riches; fire out
out and the last stick gone is pow
erty.
If you tell boy, day after day,
that he isn't earning his salt, he
will soon be likely to work down to
that estimate.
1t pays better to be behind every
body else in getting fall grain SOW
ed, and thus have the ground well
stirred, than to hog over it and
have it half done.
Money spent on booze is wasted,
spent on clothes is vanity, spent on
food is gone, and fooled away is
wicked; but money spent for seed
or a fruit tree is wisely invested.
In an address on the subject of
corn, Professor Beal remarked that
the top-most ear was the best for
seed; of two fields, one planted with
seed taken at random and the other
selected in the field, the latter
yielded as much again as the form
er.
The following methods will ap-
peal to every farmer as the easiest,
quickest and least expensive plan
for storing all kinds of fruit and
vegetables, from a potato to a
pumpkin: Arrange the fruit or
vegetables in a long row, as high
and as wide as would seem advis-
able. Spread little hay over them,
and set up fodder on each side to
the desired thickness-say, three or
four feet. This affords excellent
protection from ordinary cold; and
in the case of pumpkin, turnip or
cabbage storage, or any other article
fed to stock. you have the means at
hand with which to form a most
desirable balanced ration as you
feed out the corn and fodder. This
method will prove especially valu-
able to renters and others who are
compelled to move early in the
spring, when it would be extremely
unhandy to chop through the frozen
ground, and fish out" fruit or
VEGETABLES from the old-fashioned
hole" or pit.

EDDY'S FAREWELL

Written by Patriarch Samuel
Claridge, of Thatcher. in memory of
his son, Edwin's, departure as a
missionary to Australia.
Farewell, my kind parents, with
you | must part,
Although your affections lie close
to my heart;
And while human nature would
sometimes say nay,
The voice of the prophets forbid me
to stay.
Your love and your kindness in
years that have passed,
Will ne'er be forgotten while men,
ory doth last;
And when | am absent and gone far
away,
For your peace and your comfort,
| ever will pray.
Farewell to my wife and babies, so
dear,
We've been happy together, though
but a few years;
But now | must leave you and go
far away.
The call is from heaven and ! must
obey.
Farewell to my brethren and sisters,
so dear,
How oft your sweet voices my
heart they have cheered:
There's few of us scattered there's
few of us roamed,
We have all lived together around
the old home.
But now | must leave you and go
far away,
The voice of the spirit forbids me
to stay;
] shall cross the wide ocean where
waves rolling high,
Where there's nothing but water
and nothing but sky.
Farewell to old Thatcher, the only
I've known,
From boyhood to manhood, with
thee | have grown;
l have dug thy mesquites, | have
plowed up thy soil,
Here I've made a home through my
labor and toll.
Farewell to my bishop, whom I've
known from my youth,
So kind and obliging, a lover of
truth;
May you still be a father to the
rich and the poor,
And the blessings of Heaven richly
on you be poured.
Now adieu to my kindred and breth-
ern farewell,
My missions before me, and no one
can tell
The mark | will make, pray for me
intent,
For l am one of the weakest that
ever was sent.

Once More Our Enemv

We hope that the beef farmers of
the country have too much inde-
pendence and sense of justice to lie
down like spaniels and let the pack
ers of Chicago, Omaha and Kansas
City govern their destiny in all
things. The latest thralldom pro-
posed for them by the beef monop-
oily is the formation of Beef
Producers Association" which was
organized at the Chicago Stock
Yards, Aug. 18th. One of the
prime objects of the association is
to remove the ten cent tax from
oleomargarine. 1t remains to be
seen whether the beef farmers will
fall into this silly trip as they did
in 1898 to 1902, when the law was
enacted. At that time the cattle
men tumbled over one another to
rake the packers chesnuts out of
the fire. They were pushed into it
blindly. Had they had a grain of
sense they would have seen that it
was Of the greatest Importance to
them as meat producers not to
break down the dairy interest and
turn the dairymen into the produc-
ton of meat. Furthermore it was
shown to the cattle men at that
time, that the packers never paid
them a penny more for their cattle
because of what they got out of
them in oleomargarine.
But the cattle men have become
so accustomed to letting the meat
monopoly think and speak for them,
fix their prices in everything they
had to sell in the meat industry,
that they did not dare to exercise
any judgment for themselves.
Speaking of this bold effort so
essentially in the interest of the
packers, and no one else, the Wal
lace's Farmer says:
The second purpose, to have
the tax on oleomargarine removed" !"

OCTOBER /, 1909.
A MIssTATEMENT

GUARDIAN has had the county hos
pital at the county seat destroyed
and useless, while it is known
fact, determined by competent
judges, that the outside walls of the
building are sound ano in a good
condition, and furthermore the coun-
ty at an outlay of $3.50 can have the
present building put in first-class
shape for use"
The above is portion of an
editorial published in the Bulletin
on September 10th, and of all the
glaring misstatements that sheet
has ever been guilty of, the above
is about the rankest. How long
and to what lengths a newspaper
can deliberately misrepresent public
officials and their acts as a rule de-
pends upon how long that official
will tolerate.
To people acquainted with the
actual condition, the Bulletins mis-
representations will make no differ
ence. They simply say, "Oh, the
Bulletin is just hollering because
the county hospital is to be taken
from Solomonville." Residents of
the county, however, living at dis
tance from the county seat, reading
the above, take it for granted that
it is true and that the board of
supervisors are Unnecessarily squan-
dering the Peoples money.
The fact of the matter is that the
old hospital building cannot be put
in first-class condition for $3.50 and
the editor of the Bulletin knows
it. He knows that the former
board of supervisors took steps to
repair the old building and found it
impracticable. He knows that they
advertised for bids for its repair
and the lowest bid received was
81 1850, and when the board award
ed the contract, the bidder refused
to take it and did not file his bond.
Having these facts in its possession,
it is marvellous that respectable
paper would be guilty of such mis-
representation.
Is it not also somewhat surprising
that if the hospital can be put in
first-class condition for $3.50 that
the Bulletin, located only a few rods
from the shack, in which the coun-
tvs sick has been kept ever since
the interior of the hospital building
was destroyed, has never taken the
pains to call the attention of the
board to the matter, until that
body, acting in the best interests of
the county, took steps to provide
suitable quarters for the inmates of
the county hospital?
Such q place has been provided,
a place where the sick can receive
proper attention, where their sur
roundings will be pleasant and
where the cost of their care will be
a great deal less than at present.
We don't blame the Bulletin for
kicking because land was not bought
at Solomonville for the poor farm,
but we do object to willful mis-
representation in the matter.
If the Bulletins statement that
the hospital building can be put in
first-class condition for $3.50 is true,
why did its editor not see that bid
were asked for. or call the present
boards attention to the fact before
they purchased buildings and land
for the poor farm?
