Katie, or Kathryn, as she now
writes it, is thirteen years old, Just
under working age. Nevertheless
she had So of her very own, acct
dentally acquired through the res
toration of lost child to his anx-
ious parents. And she wanted a
party dress. OF course, she went
10 parties, at the church, at the
settlement and at the Girls
Friendly.
Katie's father and mother
talked it over, and it was decided
that as the money was Katie's
own she should have her dress.
The dress, a wonderful pinky Gre
alton, with many lacy ruffles, was
purchased and tried on, and Ka-
tie, having been duly admired by
the family and the neighbors,
went to the Girls Friendly party
on Monday evening the happiest
little girl in the whole city,
On Tuesday afternoon timid
knock sounded upon the Schools
door. 1t was Anna Loft from the
floor below, a girl Of Katie's age
and one Of her dearest friends
Katie greeted her with affection,
but Anna seemed troubled. Ka-
tie piled her with questions. Fl
nally Anna,wept.
HIts the dress, Katie,n she
'sobbed. Il coula go to a party to-
night, too, if 1 had the dress, but
| can never go, I must stay"
Katie thought hard and fast
She knew that Anna had not {
dress that could possibly be worr
to the party; she also knew tina
she herself might never have an
other. Then she swallowed bi,
lump in her throat and said gen
tly:
Gamma, you could have tn
dress tonight"

Rome, May "a Some Italian
papers notice a rumor about secret
negotiations between the Mullah
and Negus Menelik Of Abyssinia.
The rumor states that the nego-
tiations are being carried on
through the German Legation in
Abyssinia, and are to the effect
that Abyssinia shall have an out
let on the Indian Ocean. How
this can be, considering Italian
supremacy on these shores, is not
easily explained. The news has
created an immense sensation in
Italy.

A parallel to this reasoning is found
In the early history of the Christian
church The Christians In Rome We're
known to be good, loyal citizens, faith
full and reliable. And yet, when there
was not rain enough IT was said to be
their fault. The gods were thought.
to be angry because of their worship,
When Rome WIS burned, the Christians
were accused Of being incendiaries, and

way anti-"Mormonlsms does not neg
leet an opportunity OF denouncing the
Church. eventhough there is absolutely
no excuse for it, as in this case.
The I-atter-day Saints stand for prin-
sciples OF truth and right that gradu-
ally per1neate the thought of the world,
opposition, lllisrepre-
sentation, and viliiication. They came
upon the scene declaring that the gifts
of revelation and faith had been re-
stored They were met by the cry of
fraud and were mobbed because of
this declaration. The world did not
want revelations. 1t did not believe
in healing by faith. And yet, today,
there are numerous schools of faith
healing, and the thoughtful are even
beginning. to Inquire Into the possibility
of guidance by divine revelation. Tho
Latter day Saints stand for equal rights
under the Constitution for all American
citizens, for honesty and righteousness
In politics. There arc many signs of
d moral awakening in this nation to a
of the necessity of reform,
and return to first principles. And
thus the Saints are vindicated. Theirs
is u winning cause, because It is the
cause of truth.

COMIC SUPPLEMENTS.

Mr.. Percival Chubb in an address de-
livered recently before the Public
School Kindergarten Association, in
New York, pointed out some of the
objections to the comic supplement.
That those supplements, as a rule, are
vulgar and that the effect Of reading
them is the lowering of moral stand
ards, is undoubtful. The speaker right
" said that they present always the
same yiolences of color, form, and in
depreciation" The sameness, the in
artistic cololing and the vulgar situa-
tons are all objectionable. There Is
no education in the comic supplement,
If not in neanness. There is no
hnmor in it, because the supposed fun
Is as old as the supplement itself, and
everybody knows how disgusting ia an
old joke which all have heard as long
as memory records. Humor to be worth
anything, must be fresh and original.
The stale variety is nauseating And
that Is the offense OF the comic supple
ment. The contents of the pictures have
long ceased to attract The nero fa-
miliar aspect of horrible reds and blues
may stir kind of galvanized laughter.
The movement against the supplement-
is entirely justified, Genuine art has
an educational value, which may be
seen IN the formation of character, both
individual and national. Per contra
the effect of bogus art cannot but be
detrimental. and all the more 50 when

SUFFRAGE AND SALOONS.

III the women Of the United States
desire to see equal rights tri-
umphant In the various states,
they must combine and drive
the saloon out OF politics, for 1t
has been proved that the liquor inter-
sests are very, much opposed to equal !
rights.
For instance. when the women sur
frage amendment to the constitution
was pending In Oregon. the Brewers
and wholesale Liquor Dealers assoc
citation Of that state sent secret Cir
ecular to every retail dealer, fnstructtng
them how to help defeat the measure
The circular set forth that 50, 900 votes
were needed to defeat the suffrage
amendment, and that each one OF tho 4
u, 900 retailers must bring in % votes.
M Every retailer, the circular said
3S..can get 90 votes. Besides his employ
Eees, he has his grocer, his butcher, his
Landlord his laundryman. and every
person he does business with, II every
man in the business will do this, we
will win. We enclose 32b ballot tickets
showing how to vote. We also enclose
postal card addressed to this Assocla-
ton. If you will personally take Is
friendly voters to the polls on election
day and give each one ticket show
ing how to vote, please mail the pos
tai card back to US at once. You need
not sign tho card. Every card has a
number, and we will know who sent 1t &
in @
This Is oniy one proof of the actiy-
i ity3 Of the saloon alement In politics.
Two thousand recall liquor dealers
were strong enough to defeat a popular
measure by bringing 20 votes each to
the polls. And this element is afraid
of the influence Of the women IN poll
tics. The saloon keepers knew that the
mothers and wives and sisters will
4 fight drinking, gambling and the other
evils attendant upon the saloon BUSH
ness. So they will. naturally. try to
prevent the people from adopting equal
suffrage measures.
Their votes count Just as much as those
of the men. Here they should combine
against the saloon, the gambling dens,
and the other places OF iniquity es-
pecially IN this City. They should
combine against those institutions and
\ all in league with them Perhaps the
women might even take the lead In
crusade for morality. They would be
sure to win. II

THE sTocKADE.

The Tribune is sadly off in Its dis;

the Tribune is. 1t cannot, even IN ltle'
