and you were the innocent cause of 1T.
A few months ago when Gonzales trav-
eled with me on this steamer he had
the starboard cabin, and he booked
it again this time. Yesterday after
noon l saw the glass fall rapidly, and
not knowing how long the bad wealth
er might last, ordered the steward,
as you were my guest, to give you
that cabin, where you would be more

ton this to you, and made him ex-
plain to Gonzales that mistake had
been made, and that this cabin had
been retained by you long in advance.
Gonzales was very much annoyed"

shouted. why did you conceal this
from me?"
"Goron-I say" gasped Stanislas.
Great heavens! To think that of
all people, you, Stanislas. should have
been walking about with the key of
the mystery in your pocket 1t seems
fantastic!
''I-had-the-'

friend.

Suffer From Plague of Rats.

A pied piper of Hamelin" is need
ed at Santa Paula, Cal. Thousands OF
rats, and all big wood rats, have in
vaded the place, and the situation is
such that women are afraid to go to
church. The rats seem to have q
preference for churches and on several
occasions have forced the feminine
attendance at services to take to the
high benches. The city authorities
are seeking means to abate the pest
The rats are believed to have been
driven out of the woods by recent fires
in the forests.

only a few feet deep for leagues
around the Staitair pavilion.
The pavilion, casino, board walks
and other properties of the bathing
resort are on the lake itself, instead
of on its shores. They are situated
1000 feet from the shore; yet the
beach here is as smooth and shallow
as high-tide beach on the ocean. The
pavilion is an immense structure,
Moorish in design, and contains the
largest unobstructed dance floor in
the world. Also, it is perhaps the
most democratic dance floor in the
world.
Any summer evening at Saltair viii
find society debutantes and sales
girls from sand 1 0-cent stores,
teamsters and rich young bloods who
own motors, dowagers from mansion
drawing rooms and matrons of hum
bic toilers, bald-headed bookkeepers
and 40-year-old nabobs, all waltzing
to the lifting strains of the latest hit
on the CLASSY surface of the pavilion.
They do not commingle socially at
the nightly hops, these members of
scciety's different divisions; they
dance merely with members of their
own set-yet all classes are whirling
tn the same tune and the immense
ballroom is big enough for every
bcdy. Nights are cool in Utah. and
dancing at the beach is as popular a
summer diversion in the evening as
bathing is in the daytime.

Look over the list and you will no.
tice that the tariff Is very cunningIy
arranged, so that most of the free ar
ticles are produced in republican
states, or like Colorado. in states
where the senators are willing to be
the goat for the democratic plat
form.
Looking through the bill. as pub

stay of all the poor. with a healthy
tariff protecting il, ready made cloth

about all the necessities of life, with
the exception of sugar and meats

state.
Even ltdu ItuNlS-WllH lne ue-
mand there Is for them in writing
tariff articles to the newspapers, are
taxed. But then typewriters and
typesetting machines and print paper
are on the free list.
Now | am not a standpatter, l be-
lieve in a healthy revision downward
of the tariff; In fact, ! would go
further on many schedules than the
Underwood bill goes. If it is possible
to raise sufficient revenue by the in
come tax, with the tax on liquor and
tobacco. and other luxuries, | would
not object to free trade. IL one
industry does not need protection.
neither does any other; If sugar can
not be raised at a profit without a
tariff, let the farmers raise cattle
and alfalfa and fruit.
But confidentially now, Walter,
doesn't it look to you as If the east
ern and southern senator's are play
/ ing our Colorado representatives for
suckers?
And would those noble, patriotic,
kind courageous representatives of
the east and south become party
traitors, tools of the interests; If
President Wilson should suddenly de-
mand that after three years wool and
cotton goods go on the free list, what
do you think?

Sentinel Special Service.
Salt Lake City, June 5.-Perhaps
1000 bathers will be floating on the
surface of Great Salt lake on the af-
ternoon of Tuesday, July s. That
day the entire National Education
Association convention, in this city
July to IL, will adjourn to the
bathing beach on the inland sea.
What with visitors and townspeople,
it is estimated that from Ia, 900 to
10000 persons will visit the resort
that day, and at least one-third will
be unable to resist the tempting,
llght-green waters of the lake. Since
everyone who bathes in the lake
floats, the spectacle of 5000 or so
men and women lounging atop the
water is promised.
Qualities of the inland sea doubt
less will prove interesting to the edu-
Gators and some interesting expert
ments probably will be made. The
broad, shallow, mysterious body of
water contains 22 per cent of salt,
giving it properties that sustain the
human body on the surface without
exertion or skill by the bather.
Drowning is impossible. The only
precaution necessary for the veriest
novice at aquatics is to avoid swal-
lowing the water or getting it in the
ewes; to do thus is most uncomfort-
able. Wherefore, diving is not pop
ular sport; moreover, the water is
