A CRITICAL
MOMENT
BY THodfHs L. MASS0N

Impossible! How did it happen?'
Mr.. Catnappe had just come in. He
gazed at his wife In the utmost con.
%sternation and establishment. In the
course of a long and successful mar.
ried life such a situation had never
arisen. He simply couldn't believe it.
The Catnappes were New Workers..
They had " lived anywhere else.
Even in the summer, when they went
went to Bermuda, Palm Beach or other
similar places, they were still in New
York. For did they not associate with
the same people?
do you meant to-say," went on Cat
nappe, that we have absolutely no
engagement for this evening? Never
heard of such a thing"
we had, of course" replied Mrs.
Catnappe. I'VE were, as you remem-
Der, invited"
Don't ask me to remember any
thing. You have charge of the en-
gagement list. I rely upon you for
that"
"Well, we We're going out to the
Puffers' to dinner, and | got a telephone
message not half an hour ago saying
that Mrs. Puffer had been suddenly
taken i'll, and was to be operated
upon"
But what are we to do?' asked Cat
nappe, ignoring the situation of poor
Mrs. Puffer. Great heavens! It's too
late to get theater tickets anywhere.
You know we never sit any farther
away than the fourth row Besides
we've seen everything that's good
Il know it" unused Mrs. Catnappe.
This isn't our opera night either. We
can't ask anyone in to dinner at this
late hour. | don't see but what we
will have to stay home
stay homel" repeated her husband.
Never! We simply couldn'tl Why,
there's no telling what would happen.
Let's see, From eight to twelve-four
hours to ill in! This is a pretty
pass"
we could go to bed early. That
might cut off"
early. Never heard Of such a
proposition. Why. I haven't been to
bed before midnight for 10 years. 1
don't believe | ever did it. 1t would
upset me completely. Wouldn't get
over it for a week.
well, / suppose the time win pass"
catnappe was momentarily growing
more srattled.'
DO you realize he almost shouted
just as if he We're once more calling
off orders on the stock exchange a2er

Why, it didn't take Washington any

count of what he considered love.
Think of getting desperate or commit
ting a rash act over one love, when
there is so very, very much in this
beautiful world to love. Such thought
ere brought about by melancholy; by
pourishing the grumpy"
Nothing so covers the nerves. SO
tempers passion and anger, so cures
disappointment and discomfort, as
getting out in the sunlight and walk
ing il off. 1t is the nursing of ones
unpleasant thoughts that too often
make for grief in the end.
And Il is too often INDUCED in by
others moi SO young; by those who
should lave the wisdom and a con
ttol over themselves for the better.
Quick temper is exeusable. While it
is a curse, generally hereditary, there
may he some excuse for it, but for a
grumpy disposition there is none.
Don't.

James Christensen was elected on
the Republican State ticket in 1904,
which was headed by Governor Cut
Ter. He retired from office on the first
Monday in January According to
the laws OF Utah, a treasurer may
serve only four years and may not sue
coed himself. This is regarded as a
good method, and in the present in
stance has given opportunity to dis
cover a shortage which might other
wise have remained covered up.
Mr.. Christensen, before his election
on the State ticket, was mayor of the
town of Manti, in Southern Utah. He
was a banker and quite popular in
business and political circles. Among
politicians he was regarded as inde-
pendent of Mormon Church domina-
ton, although he was member of that
church. In the last two years Mr..
Christensen has been identified with
several irrigation schemes and re-
claiming of land projects, and may
have overreached himself employing
the State funds to prevent losses.
Frank I. Sefrit, manager of the Salt
Lake Tribune, who is a guest at the
/ Pleasanton was greatly surprised to
/ hear of Mr.. Christiansen's arrest, and
stated that probably his beIrg too in
dependent of the church caused his
arrest, with prospective punishment
as in other cases there has generally
been an effort to prevent such matters
from getting as far as the courts.

TOWN TALK
By THE NAN ABOUT TOWN.

From Hilo to plain Hello" were the
words the governor said.
| dreamed dream mysterious,
OF things so much delirious,
! really can't remember all the funny
things l saw.
Now, if you are not sung about,
Don't scold because your names left
out,
My editor has passed the word that
he can't stand any more.
"Thwing will be back here in May"
Newspaper headline.
Thwing will be back here in May.
From Cathay,
And trouble will start right away.
So they say.
Though his bette noirs downtreaded,
Beheaded,
Yet Thwing is far from unsledded,
Besteaded,
For fresh victims to battle,
With prattle;
There's not one but he'll rattle,
of cattle"
That any byroad may take,
Not his make.
He will scott icecream and cake,
While awake,
When with thud he drops in
Blithe and thin,
And with a smile he pops in,
To fight sin.
Why not amend the carriage regula-
tions in such way as to prevent the
use of horns or other alarm signals on
automobiles? You may, at first thought,
regard the question as strange: but
have you ever followed the iGea up? In
Honolulu the horn on a machine is
regarded as a license to drive care
lessly or rapidly. When a driver is
arrested for running over a man the
question asked by the authorities IS
Did he toot his horn?' If the answer
be He did" that settles it. The
blame is all on the deaf pedestrian
with the broken leg, or the rheumatic
old man with the fractured skull.
Equipped with a horn and backed by
the law, the automobile driver easily
falls into the habit of passing street
crossings at a terrific clip. If man
is run down, the driver calmly holds
up his horn in defense, and he is al
lowed to go to do the same thing again,
The remedy is simple Forbid the
use of a horn or any other device for
attracting the attention of pedestrians
and then set heavy punishment upon
automobile drivers for accidents. II
will work like magic. Automobiles
will thereafter cross intersections OF
streets at a safe gait and accidents vii
be a thing of the past
