swath the figure halfway to the knees
and up to the bust, to rather narrow
fat belts with hanging ends for wear
with cloth dresses, one may find gir-

Tan cotton aprons, bound with bias
strips of pink or blue lawn, and
stamped with simple design to be
embroidered in outline stitch, are sold
for forty-nine cents. They are for
children.

aprons. There are deep pockets across
the bottom and straps that button on
the shoulders.

or cream serge: First allow the mud
to dry thoroughly, then cover the spots
with common table salt and leave for
two or three minutes. When this is
finished, take a piece of tissue paper

is the scarf sleeve, which is a dainty

fon, which is continued from the un-
derseam in long scarf ends caught
loosely at the waist.

To Stop a Leak.

To stop a leak, mix whiting and

a little water Apply this to the

be instantly stopped. A visit from

A COWARDLY OUTRAGE

The cowardly and detestable outrage
in Ogden, by which Mr.. Leroy Eccles
and his family suffered, arouses the in
dignation and sympathy of the entire
community. The aim of the dastardly
perpetrators, of course, was to terror.
ize Mr.. Eccles and his family, especial
that their next demand for money
would be successful. While 1t is terri
ibe for this family to rest under such
shadow of fear and apprehension as
the members are bound to do for some
time to come, 1t is to be hoped that
they will not change the firm attitude
they have maintained in the past, and
refuse to be blackmailed. We have no
doubt Mr.. Eccles will see his duty
In this regard and feel that he owes
1t to the public not to yield, but to con
tinue in his efforts to run to earth
those who are at the bottom Of the
outrage. 1t is a question in which ev-
cry one Is concerned for the sacred
rights of life and property must be
protected and those who threaten
them be brought to justice. We hope
to see rewards offered for the appre-
hension of these scoundrels, which
will result in their detection and pun

THE DINNER HOUR

o hour of all hours, the most best
upon earth,
Blest hour of our dinners! The land
of his BIRTH
The face of his first love; the bills
that he owes;
The twaddle of friends and the venom
of foes;
The sermon he heard when to church
he last went;
The money he borrowed, the money
he spent
All of these things a man, believe
may forget
And not be the worse for forgetting
but yet
Never, never, oh, never, earth's luck
lest sinner
Hath unpublished forgotten the hour
of bis dinner!
Indigestion, that conscience of every
bad stomach,
snail relentleSSly gnaW ana pursuA
him with some ache
Or some pain and trouble, remorse-
less his best ease
AS the Furies once troubled the sleep
Of Orestes.
We may live without poetry. music
and art;
We may live without conscience ard
live without heart;
We may live without friends; we
may live without books.
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks.
He may live without books-what is
knowledge, but grieving?
He may live without hope-what is
hope but deceiving?
He may live without love--what is
passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live
without dining?

AFRAID OF MORMONISM

A newspaper clipping, sent us by
Elder Chas. A. Calls, of the South
ern States mission, contains a report
from Atlanta, Ga, which is of inter-
est to majority of our readers. 1t
is given in full:
Atlanta, Oct. lis the Mormon
religion threatening to crowd out
Christianity in Georgia? At least one
well known Atlanta minister believes
1t is, and others who have investigat-
ed the progress of Mormonism in this
state admit that converts are being
made with alarming rapidity.
"The Mormon Church in Atlanta is
in a fourishing condition today, and
is supporting missionaries in various
other parts of the state. 1t Is said
that the Mormons are making more
converts in Georgia compared to
their numbers, than the Christian
churches have been making during the
past tnree years.
"The leader of the anti-Mormon
sentiment in Atlanta Is Rev. Jere A.
Moore, pastor of the Harris street
Presbyterian church. Mr. Moore's
views on the subject are extreme. He
characterizes Mormonism as the great
est evil of the day, and says that
drastic measures should be taken for
its suppression. He contends that UNI
less it is stamped out, the Mormons
may carry out the boasts of their high
priests that they will convert the
world.
Generally speaking, however, there
is no very rapid sentiment against
the Mormon residents or Atlanta.
They are respectable citizens and the
charge of polygamy has never been
brought against any of their sect in
Georgia. Many Christian ministers Of
this community take the view that in
this land Of free thought and religious
liberty the Mormon church ought to
be entitled to the same consideration
as any other church. Others, however
agree with Mr.. Moore that Mormon
ism Is an invention of the devil and
should be dealt with as such.
Atlanta, being the center OF Nor
monism' in the south, will likely see
some pretty lively controversy on the
subject in the near future"
The statement that the Shurch in
Georgia is increasing at an alarming
rate is, of course, exaggerated but
Elder Calls informs us that the FL,
ders in the mission are meeting with
encouraging success, although not to
such an extent that he anticipates that
the Church will become the dominant
denomination in the near future.
According to the leader OF the anti
Mormon" sentiment in Atlanta
Presbyterian minister - "Mormonism
is "the greatest evil of the day" al
though the church members liyinl
there are generally known to be re
spectacle citizens against whom NJ
charge of crime can be made. Is thai
not strange? One might suppose tina
a minister of the gospel would b.
pleased to see men and women con
verted to religious society composed
of respectable citizens of spotless cha
acter. But some CT the ministers ar
SO wrapped up in their own prejudice
that they have lost every sense 0

THE QUAKER GRAVEYARD

Four straight brick walls, severely
plain,
A quiet city square surround;
A level space of nameless graves
The Quakers' burial ground.
In gown of gray, or coat of drab,
They trod the common ways Of life,
With passions held in sternest lash,
And hearts that knew not strife.
To yon grim meeting house they
Jared,
With thoughts as sober as their
speech, ,..
To voiceless prayer, to songless
praise,
To hear the elders preach.
Through quiet lengths of days they
came.
With scarce a change to this repose;
OF all life's loneliness they took
The thorn without the rose.
But in the porch and DER the graves,
Glad rings the southwark robin
glee,
And sparrow's fill the autumn air
With merry mutiny.
While on the graves of drab and
gray
The red and gold of autumn lie,
And wilful nature decks the sod
In gentlest mockery.
