WINTER IN THE COUNTRY.

Just think OF the farmers
In mitts and pulse-warmers
With frost on the whskers and flush on the nosoi
And think of the liars
Abound the wood fires,
ImbIbng hard cider and toasting their toesi
And think of the Staying
And scalding and faying
OF quarter-ton porkers just rolling In fatl
And think of them maxim
The Fitch and the bacon
The sausages, spare-ribs, the hams and all thatl
It's really pity
To live in the city,
Where snowdrifts are black and rheumatics reside.
When villages handy
Are having dandy
Old winter with genuine snow on the side
And here 1t is raining
And folks complaining
OF hard and soft colds, influenza and grippel
It's really pity
To live IN the city,
Where winter is nothing but sush, slop and slip

HERE FROM ALASKA.
Missionary Bishop p. T. Rowe Visiting
With Bishop Spaulding.

Missionary Bishop P. Il. Rowe of the
Episcopal church in Alaska. is in town,
as tho guest of Bishop F. S. Spaulding,
en- route cast. Bishop Rowe says peo-
pie from the states soon become used
to the SIX months day and six months
night, and don't mind It, AS to the
proposition to give Alaska a territorial
form of government. the bishop agrees
with the president that the proper
method of administration is by a COM
mission, rather than by regularly
organized territorial form of govern
ment He says there are too many
transients, too little of permanency, too
much OF continual change going on,
to attempt any other form of govern
ment.
The Indians are slowly dying out, the
white mans whisky operating as an
important factor in the reduction; but
strong missionary efforts are being d.
rected for the Esquimaux redemption.
The reindeer introduced by Sheldon
Jackson have proved a success. only
they cannot be used profltably on Ice,
or very slippery surfaces, for they slip.
fall down and sometimes break their
legs. The dogs can travel twice as fast
as reindeer.
Bishop Rowe reports the Episcopa-
lians. Presbyterians and Catholics as
the strongest missionary denominations
In Alaska. A pleasant feature is the
amiable and harmonious relations ex-
listing between them, each having due
regard for the other. and never inter-
fering with each others work.

CHAMPION RUNAWAY
TO Be A FINE MAN
Probation Officers Say Little Johnny
Decker Will Turn Out Right
In the End.

o! He never cares to wander from his
own fireside;
o! He never cares to ramble or to roam
For the cops are after him,
So his chance is mighty slim,
And he knows there Is no place like
home.
SO singeth little Johnny Decker,
champion boy runaway of the world.
bar none and challenging all comers.
But little Johnny's roaming days arc
over He must rest on his laurels now.
The Salt Lake City police, the sheriff s
force. the United States marshal and
his deputies, and the government secret
service agents have formed a con-
spiracy to keep Johnny from getting
away again.
Little Johnny Is the very young son
of Mr. and Mrs. z. NJ. Decker of 1865
Second avenue. Ever since he could
toddle. he has "runned away" For
several years he has given his dad
many a merry chase, the latest one be-
ing q trip to Pocatello. While return
ing to Salt Lake City, the train stopped
at Ogden few minutes. Little Johnny's
pa left his seat for few minutes, and
when he returned the young globe srot-
ter had disappeared. The ogden police
found Johnny breaking up coal Jumps
in the rear of restaurant. His
father nabbed him again and brought
him to Salt Lake City. He was lodged in
the city prison, and then turned over
to the tender mercies of the Juvenile
court. Probation Officer GuardelIo
Brown became Interested in the boys
case. 1t was learned that Johnnys
home life had not been altogether ideal:
that his father INDUCED in liquor more
than moderately: and that his mother
was quite i'll and suffered from the ef-
fects of several operations for cancer.
Guardello Brown concluded that John
ny would be benefited by a change of
domestic scenery, and accordingly
started Johnny on his way to the Uin-
tab Training school. Johnny gave Mr
Brown his word of honor that he would
go. SO he made the trip alone. Johnny
kept his word. He Is now cook at tho
Training school, or rather sixth assist
ant chef. Mr., Brown, who has great
faith in tho ultimate good of human
nature, says that Johnny Is not a bad
boy at all; that he merely found things
unpleasant at home. and for this rea-
son gamibolled over the landscape In
search Of kind companions Johnny is
all right. and will turn out to be
good man, says Mr.. Brown.
