During the years when the venerable
George F. Edmunds, now 81, and Allen
G. Thurman, who was the tail of the
defeated Cleveland ticket of 1888, were
looked upon as the great intellectual
leaders of the federal senate, there was
established between them a warm per-
sonal friendship. 1t was a friendship
due not merely to the respect each gave
the other for profound intellectual abili-
ty, but also to a sense of personal con-
genIality The very fact that the Sena-
tor from Vermont sat upon the Republi-
can side, and the senator from ONO
upon the Democratic side of the senate.
seemed but to intensity their common
feeling of friendship. And It was a
friendship that had at least one confi-
Dental aspect.
For months promptly at o'clock in
the afternoon of each day when tho
senate was in session, Senator EdmundS,
after nesting a little uneasily for
moment In his seat, In the very front
row of the chamber. would turn half
way around, gradually and with great
dignity, until he caught the eye OF
Senator Thurman. who. while the YER
mont senator was executing this ma
nueyer, would have a faint eNpectant
expression.
For the space oil q moment tne Two
would look INTO each others eyes. Then.

rise. and, with great dignity. pass be-
fore the acting vice president, David
Davis of Illinois. nod his head as
though In recognition of the high office,
and disappear through the door at the
rear OF the Vice presidents chair.
A moment or two later the great sem
ator from Ohio would slowly rise from
his seat on the aisle, hesitate A moment
and then. turning. pass slowly out of
the chamber by door remotely oppo-
site to that through which Senator Ed
munds had vanished.
Perhaps 20 minutes or half an hour
later, the door to the rear of the vice
president would open, the face and
figure of Senator Edmunds would
emerge. with cautious and deliberate
step he would pass to his seat. and
then. having gained 1t. he would rest
his head upon his shoulders and sit
twlrling his thumbs most absentiy.

remotely opposite the distinguished
senator from Ohio would appear. He
would pause upon the threshold. with

from a capacious pocket. blow one
trumpet blast upon 1t, and then take
his seat and look rehectively for a
while into vacancy,
What happened in the interval. when
these two great minds. by their
absence, left void In the senate
chamber?
After he had disappeared through the
door near the vice presidents chair,
Senator Edmunds would enter the
committee room over which he had au-
thorlty, and sit at the table and pre-
tend to look at some papers. Pretty
soon In would come Senator Thurman
You would have thought that each
of them was surprised to see the other.
Senator Edmunds would greet Senator
thurman as II he hadn't seen him for
weeks. Then the former would turn
to the attendant
Have You a pitcher OF ice water?"
Yes, senator"
kindly produce It,"
Without a word being said about It,
the attendant would also produce with
the water a black bottle. These he
would place upon the commltte table

usually would exchange another then

THE FAIRBANKS INCIDENT.

The Fairbanks incident in Rome, re-
Gently referred to in these columns, is
the subject of editorial comment and
explanations In paper published in
Rome and speaking for the Catholics
The paper seems to be particularly
bitter against the Methodists In Rome.
They entered" so 1t says. "Rome
through the breach made Sept. 20, 1870,
with Garibaldrs redshlrts." and their
efforts are not to minister to the wants
of visiting Methodists, but to ''pcrvert
the faith of the people"
The charge Is further made that the
Methodsts have always been bitterly
and avowedly anti-papal, eagerly well
coming every opportunity to discharge
their venom against Catholicism and
the holy see. Statistics, compiled by
themselves. show that the cost OF max
ing a single Roman a Methodist aver
ages 1000 francs Isl. 400. During the
last forty years they have spent twelve
millions in this unholy work of prose-
lyting Catholics, especially Catholic
Children"
And these the paper gives as reasons
why the advisers of the pope were
justified in urging his holiness to refuse
TO receive Mr.. Fairbanks after he had
promised to speak In the Methodist
church.
Does 1t not sound strange in a Cath.
olio paper TO protest against Protestant
proselytsm? Is not the. Catholic
church itself engaged in the work of
proselytism In all the world2 Is it not
spending millions on missionary work?
Is not the best talent OF the church en-
gagged in the propaganda? Can IT be
wrong for Methodists to do In Rome
what the Catholics are doing in Lon
don. and all over the word7
We are pleased to say that the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints have no such one-sided views.
They hold that all Gods children
are free to believe whatever appears to
them to be true. and to worship In
whatever manner their consclences
approve, and to do this wherever they
are. They believe in universal re-
ligious liberty, within the law and
without exception. Representatives of
all creeds and sects are welcome in
Utah. and Will be listened to with re-
spect and attention as long as they
labor in a Christian spirit. They are
perfectly welcome to all the prosclytes
they can make by legitimate means.
The Catholic attitude seems to be
very much the same as 1t was before
the Reformation. Rome believed that
hers was the only church, and that
everyone baptized belonged to her. She
considered herself responsible for their
salvation. and since there is, in her
view, no salvation outside the church.
extra ecclesiam nulla salus-there was
no reason why she should not employ
the state to compel people to accept
salvation. That attitude is of course,
wrong Freedom demands equal rights
and privileges.

WOLF. RABBIT AND FOX

wolf coming upon a rabbit feed
ing at the foot of a tree threw himself
in his path and cut or his way or
escape. The rabbit seeing that he was
caught fell PROSTATE before the wor
and addressed to him all the fine words
he could think of. "Oh, king of all the
beasts, l know that you are ranging
the fields for prey to appease your hum
ger. Surely such a tiny bit as am
would scarce appease your royal appe-
tite. l pray you, therefore, let your
royal highness take my information:
Not far from here lives fox who Is
fat and plump and whose flesh Is ten
der and white as a capon's. l Will
engage to draw him forth from his
hole and If he be not to your liking
1 will deem it an honor to make your
meal, feeling that l will not have died
in vain"
The wolf, overpersuaded, followed
closely the rabbits heels to the home
of the fox. The rabbit left the wolf
at the entrance and crept in himself,
overjoyed to think that he could now
pay off an old grudge on the fox, his
enemy He made the fox a low bow
and gave him great pretense of friend
ship. The fox, on the other hand, was
no less kindly and asked what good
wind had blown the rabbit there.
So the rabbit went out and gave the

into the snare. The wolf thought he
had the fox fast already. while the
rabbit believed himself out of danger.
as having done the wolf so great
service. But the fox was too sharp
witted to be so easily cheated out of
his life. At the entrance to his hole
he had dug deep trench for surprises
of this very kind. Instantly removing
the planks that he and his friends
used in crossing, he covered the trench
with f1imsy twigs and loose earth. Then
after opening a secret back door If
escape might be necessary he called
out for his guests to enter. Instead OF
the success OF their plot the two visi-
tors before they knew what had hap
pened, found themselves in the bottom
of deep pit, and the wolf in his fury,
thinking that the rabbit was to blame.

The largest species of the sturgeon is
the great Huso, which inhabits the
rivers and the inland seas in Russia,
and is sometimes as much as twenty
four feet long, while the smallest is
the Sterlet only about three feet long.
Surgeons seek their food in the mud
at the bottoms of the rivers, plowing
this up with their long snouts, which
are protected by broad plates and have
curious worm-like "feelers" a little
way behind, and on the under side. The
work of these feelers is to examine the
treasures turned up by the snout, and
it is from their habit of stirring up
the mud that surgeons most likely
gained their name. This comes from
the German word "storen," which
means "to poke up or stir"

AMERICAN PRESIDENTS

Among the twenty-five men who
have been presidents of the United
States, all but two have been of Eng
lish, Scottish or Scottish-Irish blood.
The two exceptions are President
Roosevelt and President Van Buren,,
both being of Dutch origin. Nineteen
out of the twenty-five were lawyers,
four being teachers and one a tailor
before adopting the legal profession.
Both Presidents Johnson and Fillmore
were tailors in early life. The army
contributed three; President Washing
ton was the first, a surveyor and then
a planter, and President Lincoln COM
menced life as a farmland, afterward
becoming a lawyer. The number OF
presidents who were never in college is
nine. Harvard university sent three
and Yale one. Although one president
lived to the age of 80 and two passed
the age of so, they were not on the
whole long lived men.
