THIS DOG HAD SPEED.
Old Darky Saw Something Pass Him
but Thought II was a "Hant."

The writer, in the Winchester Wa.)
News had obtained by purchase from a
country neighbor a dog named Taffy,
and for weeks had been feeding him beef
steak at from 1216 to Is % cents a pound.
At the Chicago & Ohio railroad crossing
in Washington street Taffy got his first
partial and hasty glance at locomotive
He reversed position quicker than a NOV
ing picture and started south. I inquired
of an old darby a few blocks down the
street if he had seen a dog pass.
Boss, eff I did, L jess barely did he
said. Were he d dog bout a dog and
half a dog high that was buckling and
UnbuCkling hisself like a jackknife so fast
that you couldn't tell whethe- he was
running or flying and the dust along whar
he cum didn't raise till he was outer
sight?'
Yes" I said, that rather dovetaijs
with the last view I caught of him"
well, boss, 1 might a seed him, but
amt certain; ] saw something pass, but
it might er been a hant.'
If the farmer saw him he was the last
eyewitness who saw him in the flesh
The mathematician Of our club, after a
careful calculation, determined that I'M
less he had changed his direction or mod
flied his speed he had drowned himself
in the Gulf Of Mexico the following morn
ing at twentv-seven minutes past ?
o'clock.

When I went back home! When I went
back hOmei-
The orchards tossed in greenest waves
with caps Of blossom-foam,
The wind ran down to meet me from the
hills OF snowy bloom
And set my heart a-leaping with the mar
velOus perfume
When I went back home. when I went
back hOme,-
The fields gave forth the clinging scent
Of freshly upturned loan,
The little creek went singing through the
shadow and the sun
Across the shadows where of old my feet
were wont to run.
When I went back home!-O the woods
were green,
And greener yet the meadowlands with
jewel CLINT and sheen;
The little path wound up the hill, the lit
tie patch came down
To meet the lazy highway that led from
the little town.
When I went back home!-If I had the
would weave the wonder-meIody that
murmured in my heart.
The song that sang Of brotherhood with
bending skies Of blue
And hills of green and everything that as
a boy 1 knew.
When I went back home, When I went
back hOme,-
All, there is now the wanderlust that
sent me forth to roam,
To tTUdge upon the rugged roads that
lead to alien lands
When fair and clean and sweet and
young the hOme-place ever stands!
When I went back home, Whent I went
back hOmei-
The orchards surged as sunny seas with
beloved blossom-foam,
md deep within the soul of me I heard
the singing strain

poured across the lane

ABILITY AND OBLIGATION.

You know what we think Of the man
who is strong enough to work, and who
doesn't work.
Ability implies obligation. He who
can-should.
The irrigation congress wants the
general government to give $1,000 900:
One million for irrigation; one million
for drainage in swampy country; one
million for the reclamation of arid land.
and one million for forests.
OF all the millions the government is
expanding, no work paid for will be 50
nearly worth the price as that devoted
to irrigation. In nothing done by gov
eminent will the interests Of all the
people of the United States be so ad-
vanced. The San Francisco Post puts
the case in this way:
Another question on which there cannot
be any serious difference of opinion is
the value to the nation OF retaining arid
lands. This IS no experiment. as a large
portion Of Utah and other desert states
have demonstrated That the desert NAV
be made to blossom as the rose" is a
fact not a theory Nor is there any doubt
SoilcciiliilE the AdCtot III TINS reclamation.
Every child knows that water alone is
needed and almost every citizen of the
United States understands that a suf-
ficient congressional appropriation will
bring water to the desert.
Which is true. The government has
nearly thirty million acres of land in
Utah. More than half of that land
and fifteen million acres is a good deal
Of ground-can be made to produce
foodstuffs. It can be made to raise wheat
and corn and fruit and vegetables. If

JAPAN is GOING FORWARD.

To an impartial observer on the other
side of the earth it would seem that
Japans only motive in reconstructing
the Mukden railway is to open the
country to development; to permit prog
ress TO resume that march which was
Interrupted when the armed forces of
the car did so much of their own style
Of marching.
China is not in a position, evidently,
to rebuild the railway or to in any
other manner infuse life into the desc
lated region. Japan has both the will
and the ability to work that needed re-
generation. 1t is simply a question Of
letting Japan build the road or leaving
it undone indefinitely.
We of Utah believe that whatever is
for the interest of one section of the
state is for the good of all. In a larger
way, what is good for one natiOn-what
advances the estate and the learning
and the happiness and the strength Of
one nation, is for the benefit of the
whole world.
There is a mighty region capable Of
productivity. It is doing nothing, and
SO long as conditions remain as at pres
ent the region viii remain so. For the
good Of the world it were better to per-
nit Japan to build the road than to
have no road. II were better for the
world to permit Japan to improve the
Manchurian country than to have it go
unimproved
So that, so far as the worlds interest
in the far eastern question is con-
cerned, the japanese should not be dis
cOurag ed.

OH, MR.. SAN FRANCISCO!

AproDos of the Calhoun trial:
Drop it,
Try and compose some song about
the beauties of the Golden Gate, and
forget the criminal court.
Give the rest of the country a chance
to forget the supervisors and the swag.
Rub out the old scores and start new.
OF course. they were crooked and all
that sort of thing. So was Adam. But
we don't talk about it any more. We
drop Adam.
Also Cain.
Also William II. Tweed.
You will serve your own interests,
and please the rest of us, by making an
end of the Doodle litigation.

WAYS OF ENGLISH HUSBANDS

Lady Arthur Paget, At a dinner. in
New York, said Of the appalling Amer
lean divorce habit"-for that. is the
shape which our divorce question takes
in her eyes:
And deceit, petty deceit, grave de-
ceit-that is another frequent caifse of
divorce.
Too many husbands are like the one
who said, as his servant helped him on
with his overcOat:
James, # my wife asks you where
L am, tell her I've gone TO the opera.
The man bowed.
Yes, sir; very good, sir. And he
added imperturbably, And where are
you really going. sir, in case any OF
your friends should call or ring YOU
up?'"
