queer gasp in his voice; he, choked and shut his
eyes and fell over on the grass.

When the slow. village fire-engine began pumping
flames were tapping over the sides of the window

He had also burned his hands but while the burns
were painful they were not serious. In three or
four days he could go back to school again.

but it took Jack long time to get there, for so
many persons stopped him and asked him how

be late. At last, however, he lodged into the door
OF the hall and began climb the seep stairs His
last thought before he got to the top was:

All the scholars were assembled in the main hall
for prayers. DIR. Bonsa standing on the plat

Jack hesitsted. The room was very still. Dr.

How those boys and girls did clap and cheer and

Jack changed what he was going to tell All al

what Jack really did say uncomfortably, was:

The school-house was off by itself at the end of
the new sde-street. No house near. Every
afternoon Mrs. Mcneil went to sweep and clean it.
Often she took her little girl Flora with her, when
there was nobody ito keep her at home The next
afternoon after the month over AL and Jack
and three or four others were walking past the
school, ..,
Suddenly Al cried out: Look therc Look at

Great pufs of smoke were coming out of the

Jack did not answer. Indeed, he had no time.
For again AL cried out sharply: -

The other boys followed his horrihed gesture and

they could not hear what she said.

The clouds of smoke thicker, the strip of fire

muttered. 1T won't take them any. time
He did not finish. Jack brushed past him on run,

it's right try. Mother says"-Jack smiled a
lttle--'that she can see some difference in me-"
Jack had come to his own gate. The baby was
at the window with his hands pattng the panes and
wrinkle of welcome across his scrap of nose
Well, anyway said Jack, 1'Il just try on, and
maybe after awhile the change will be big enough
for almost any to notice it"
So the days went by until they made month
Some of them were rather sorrowful days fof Jack.
There was the time at recess when George Haynes

great rough paws Jacks shoulders just for sport
Jack yelled like Comanche," AL White said

Then there was the day when they all went down

would not go step. Hc went home.
Then there were other days with other similar

THE MERRY PRINCE.
By Iucy Foster.

The gay Prince Popinjay Peacock-Fcather
Would play on HIS lutte for hours together;
And featherly -weatherly afternoons
He'd warbie hilarious, various times
He'd airilys merrily roam the street.
And sing to all he might chance TO meet:
And If any were grumpy gloomy or glun,
Along the Prince Peacock Feather would come
And sing them an afahle, aughable lay,
Until they were gleeful, and glad, and gay,
They'd forget their bothers, and pothers and wrongs
When they listened to Popinjay's popular songs.
So lets be light hearted EVERY one,

THE SHEFFIELD PLATTER.
By Rose Mills Powers.

IT WAS Sheffield Platter,
Shabby and worn of face,
That raised a fearful chatter
Mid the folk of Side-Board Place.
They snubbed the poor newcomer
In shameful way to see,
And raised the baleful -umor
That he lacked pedigree.
The copper-luster Pitcher
Turned up her pudgy nose.
And wished that she were richer,
For she was scarce of beaux.
The willow-pattern Dishes,
VI most patrician blue,
Declared him as oficious-
An upstart as they knew.
One night the Platter vanished,
And none knew where he went;.
But gossip whispered, "Banished,
No doubt, for unpaid rent"
1t was a fortnight later
When he, whom all had spurned,
The shabby Sheffield Platter.
To Side-Board Place returned.
But what a transformation
In a new suit of plate,
And with the reputation
OF hallmark, crest and date.
Because this swell of fashion
Would never now propose,
The Pitcher, in passion,
Fell down and broke her nose.
And blue and ever bluer
The DANES of willow grew,
AS few and ever fewer
Declared him "arvenuep;
For pedigree and polish
Soon found an. easy way
The barriers to demoiish ~
That barred society
So. for the Sheffield Platter
q Did, better days befafl--
BY fashion. strange dictator,
Made leader of them all.

The secretary is now elected by the
convention, the same as the presl-
dent 1t is now proposed to amend

It was stated by high authority to-
day that enough pledges had been Sc
cured by the Gooding contingent to
put this program through. although
admittedly the forces are too evenly
divided to justify confident prediction
at this time.
EDWARD Payne and c. r. Shaw came
to Ogden especially TO represent the
Boise Commercial club. one of the
liyellest organizations of its kind in
the country. Mr. Payne said today:

This feeling was also acccntuated
by the fact that the national conven-
ton was held in Pocatello. two years
ago Leaders in the association from
all parts of the northwest are all fav-
orably disposed towards Boise. but
they feel the interests of the body
must be considered paramount TO all

II was worth three and one-balf times
as much as raw wool. and By means
of this loophole in the law OF 1889 the
equivalent of 100 million pounds OF
western wool was shipped into the
United States at about three cents a
pound protection, so under that law
the business in the United States did
not prosper. That little loop
hole that Legislature did not recognize
set back the wool production of the
United States at least twenty-five
years (Applause)

take, and In 1888, 1889 and 1890 we

enacted the law OF 1867, although In
stead of II cents on the raw wool wc
had II cents. want you to recog'
niZe this fact: That every time in
the history Of this country that we
have had less than II cents protection
on that raw wool we have gone back.
and every time we have had IL cents
or more we have gone forward, That
seems 10 be the line OF dcmarkatiol.
That measures the difference in the
cost of production abroad and the cost
OF production here In the United
States. So We came back to
