management Of one Of the hotels at
Long Beach has issued invitations to

that 160 girls. with their parents or
chaperones, are guests at the hotel, and
not half a dozen young men worth
while are included In the roster.
The young women issued an ultima
tum to the management and to their
parents and chaperones that unless

r.. .ro,rd the Sun. In the winter time he has no hope that sum.
NOR will everc come again, and if two Or three people die OF a vrulent
of disease, why the rest of mankind ar sure to go by the sam
road Your pesimist is the kind of man who sits around and
nronbacies that a railroad will never be built into the country and
ttbot IL If sbould happen to come it will ruin the business of every
settler it it. He believes the rich arr growing richer, and the poor
core and that mankind is gradually slipping back into n more DIES
state of depravity instead Of growing better. IT, by chance,
ary IF his predictions happen to COM true, n q matter how trivial.
he swels his chest out and marches around witt an important air, and
tries to make every one believe that he is a prophet, II the son of
nronbet and that his head is acking with the awful load it is carry
ino around. He knows every mean thing you have ever been &C.
cused of doing, and every mistake you are supposed to have made,
and never forgets to repeat them every time your name is mentioned
in his presence. He firmly believes you ought to be in the peni-
Tertiary and ventures the opinion that you will surely land there yet
before you die. He is a public nuisance and is tolerated for the
same reason that a bowling dog is permitted to hve-no one wants to
90 n 10 trouble Il take a shot at him. He is the man who say
the country is no good, the seasons are too short, the soil poor and un-
productive, that the frost comes too early in the fall aud stays too late
in the spring. He tells every prospective buyer that nothing cau
be raised in the country, that oats will not grow, that alfalfa is a fail
ue and that not enough potatoes can be harvested to pay back the
seed. He honestly thinks that irrigation is a delusion, and if you
show him a field of grain, that comes up to his shoulders and will run
rs bushels to the acre, he will tell you it is an accident and that you
can't do it next season. There is o argument that he will ever listen
to expect a club, and nobody considers it worth while to take the
time to beat his brains out. Consequently he lives o until nature
shuts off his breath, when he is buried, $ o that his miserable carcas
will not poison the air and kill off the coyotes, skunks and rattle
snakes. And the editor sits down, lays his conscience to one side,
writes a touching obituary, calls him a public spirited citizen, whose
death is a great loss to the community, gives a short resume of his life
and he knows, and everybody else knows, that he lied like hi when
he wrote it.

The Venom OF the Gossip

One of the worst features about life in a small town is the venom
Gus gossip which is continually circulating among the people. There
are always a few people in every community who do not gossip them
selves, nor permit others to gossip to them. But they are q small
minority. 1t is perfectly amazing the talk that circulates in little
where every one is known to every one else, and where
private AFFAIRS ar publicly discussed with a freedom that is not known
in larger cities, A word overheard, a glance, the entering or leav-
ing of a house is, perhaps, sufficient to hang a conjecture upon which.
being repeated, soon becomes a scandulous story absolutely without
any foundation. If a strange family moves into town some one
makes haste to retail to it all the scanduous stories that are being told
of the prominent people in the community with the effect TO at once
prejudice the newcomers against some of the best people in the place.
1t sometimes takes years to undo the work of the scandal moneer. for
the first impressions stick like burs.
But there is no defence against these malicious attacks. Per.
haps the one maligned does not know of the story that is being whis.
pered about him or her, and is only conscious that something is wrong
by a slight change in the cordial friendship which previously existed
No one is free from the malice of the gossip-not a soul escapes, ex-
cept little children End fools, The good name of every inhabitant of
a town comes in for its share of besmirching. Do not, gentle reader
imagine that you are a exception, for you are not. At sometime,
some one, with envy or malic in his or her heart, has shot a malicious
arrow in your direction, and while you may be unconscious of the fact,
others have noted it and tongues have wagged with glee.
No one al tell the amount of misery this one feature of human
life has caused, OF the bitterness of the midnight tears shed over
some malicious tale that has no foundation. Lives ar wrecked and
suicide often results. The only thing that makes this dreadful
scourge bearsble is the fact of its universally and that the gossip
comes in for a very large share of the mud-singing. And if you
hear anyone crihcising this article you can make up your mind that
that person has been hard hit.

No Criminal Cases For the March Term Of Court

Word has been received here that there will be n criminal cases
to occupy the district court of Carbon county for the March term.
There were two or three cases but they were postponed until the fall
term. This is a rare occurrence and while il may have occurred be-
fore in the history of this county we do not now recall that fact.
The present plan of being able to initiate criminal proceedings at any
time, where the prisoner expresses a desire to plead guilty and receive
sentence, is a great improvement over the time when q prisoner, who
had been arrested say one, day after a term of court had adjourned,
was compelled to lie in jail until the next term of court before any
action could be had on his case. This procedure expedites the
criminal business and also lessons the county court expenses. We
progress sowly-but we do progress.
