MISS Ships RECITAL
PROVES RARE TREAT

A good sized audience greeted the
appearance of Miss Lille E. Ship
at the tabernacle last evening. The
young lady made charming appear
ance, was unassuming and graceful
in all her movements.
Her songs were those which appeal
most strongly to the people Of the
West, being old familiar melodies, for
the most part and sung in sweet,
clear voice. She encompassed the
high notes with no apparent effort.
The excerps sung by her from the
operas Mignon and Madam Butterfly
were thoroughly enjoyed by the aud
fence, and her manner of portrayal
proved to all that she is a gifted ac-
tor as well as singer.
The lady was assisted in the recital
by Mr.. A. N. Tollestrup, who gave
the story Of each piece sung, and by
Mrs. Sadie Thorley and her niece, Miss
Viola King, girl of about IL years,
who is gifted to marked degree in
the Interpretation of instrumental
music.
Miss Ship intends giving recitals
in Parowan, Panguitch and other
southern Utah towns before returning
home to Salt Lake City.

IMPROMPTU.

A rhyme TO write, what shall 1t be?
A tale Of love--a tragedy
A merry joke to pass the time,
Or an enigmatic rhyme?
Ye gods! who rule the lives of men,
Inspire my muse and guide the pen,
That whatever subject may appear
Shall serve to please and help to
cheer.
Life is full Of mystery
Turn to the pages of history,
And there outlined you'll plainly see
Love that's blent with tragedy.
The gallant knight with spurs Of gold
Into the dust, when vanquished rolled,
While the prize he sought from "lady
fair"
Has fallen to the victor's share.
The warrior, clad in armored mail,
Before whose charge the stoutest
quail,
With cross upon his blazoned shield,
Calling upon the foe to yield!
Those were the times when kings
stood forth
To lead their men and prove their
worth;
Foot to foot and hand to hand,
Like gallant soldiers born to COM
mand.
But now behind their castle walls,
Where no spent bullet near them falls,
And the only danger that can come
Must be the dreaded areal bomb.
Far from the scene where deaths
rude hand
Mows down thousands like grains Of
sand,
These lordly rulers Of the earth
Hold their revelry and mirth.
And courtiers fawn and bend the knee
To show their abject loyalty,
For some honor, yet deferred,
Just waiting for the royal word.
And now we see in far Off Wales,
The ship Of Progress, with trim sails
Taking for the promised land
OF equal rights for which they stand
Those hardy, honest sons Of toll,
Who wrest the coal from meath the
soil,
Knowing their time at length has
come,
Act like men no longer dumb.
Unless they get the precious coal,
There will soon be no submarines al
all,
Nor dreadnaughts to deal out death
and woe,
In the name of progress here below
The time Is coming-slow but sure
When world politics shall be more
pure;
And no longer men of selfish aim,
Shall exploit the people just for fame
Too long these rulers had their sway
But soon brighter, happier day
Shall dawn upon q suffering world
And the flag Of discord shall be furled

Boards IN BATTLE.

And Why Clean Shaver Men Became
Priced ais Warriors.
The habit of shaving is not of very
ancient origin. According to James
Stephens in Here Are Ladies'" when
humanity lived quiet, rural and I'M
ambitious life men did not shave;
their hair was their glory, and IL they
had occasion to swear, which must
have been infreQuent, their hardest
and readiest oath was "By the beard
of my father" showing clearly that
this feature was held in veneration in
early. times and was probably accord
ed divine honors upon suitable Occa-
sions.
With the advent of war came the
habit Of shaving. A beard offered too
handy grip to a foeman who had
got to close quarters; therefore, war
riors who had no true hardihood OF
soul preferred cutting off their boards
to the honorable labor of defending
their chins.
Many ancient races effected COM
promise in order to retain fitting
military appearance, for barefaced
warrior has but little of terror in his
aspect. The ancient Egyptians, for
example. who had cut off or could not
cultivate or had been fOrcibly deprived
of their boards, were wont to go into
battle clad in heavy false whiskers.
which. when an enemy seized hold OF
them. came off instantly In his hand.
and the ancient Egyptian was enabled
TO dispatch him while in trance of
stupefaction and horror.
Clean shaven Inen became by this
cowardIy stratagem very much priced
as fighting men. and thus the founda-
ton OF the shaving habit was laid.

friend that cold logic was wasted. The
two girls walked upstairs. and Iris ush-
cred her still bosom friend into coy
little guest room.
Meanwhile Ned Warner began to be
familiar with the bronze panther on
the overhanging rock in the park and.
casting back in his memory. reflected
that he must have passed it about FIVE
times.
But why had June married him?
Why had she walked down the aisle OF
the Brynport chapel with him that
morning? Perhaps the black Vandyk-
ed man was married. and marriage
was the only road to Junes freedom.
He could stand this train of thoughts
no longer. He whirled up Riverside
drive past the very house where June
was then talking to Iris and turned
his key in the lock of the place which
was to have been home. Home! And
this was his return! Here We're all

dreams of happiness.

June was still June--and bis June.
He caught up the portrait and pressed
it TO his lips and held it in his arms
and sank down by the bed sobbing.
At that moment June and Iris were
sitting in the big walnut paneled IL
brary. and Bobbie wandered in. When
he saw the girls he started back.
Don't go, Bobbier called Iris. She
walked straight up TO him and held
out her hand Producer

STRENGTH IN EXCITEMENT.
Either Fear, Rage or Pain Starts the
Adreral Glands to Work.

Adrerai GLANDS to work.
Many a person has wondered where
he obtained the strength that enabled
him to undergo some emergency that
called for unusual physical exertion
when under ordinary conditions he
would be unable to control a 1.-THE of
that strength. 1t was from the adre-
nal glands, two little glands situated
above the kidneys which secrete what
is known as adrenaline and when
stimulated discharge the same into the
blood. The effect of this addition to
the blood is to release sugar from stor-
age in the liver and bring it into the
blood, drive the blood from the alb
dominal regions into the heart, lungs,
central nervous system and limbs. The
resulting effect is to excite the muscles
to irritability and enable unusual effort
to be made.
Either fear, rage or pain will sup
ply the stimulus required to set the
adrenal glands into action. When a
muscle is fatigued without any ac-
companying degree of excitement it
may take couple Of hours for it to
recover its normal condition, but if
adrenaline is injected, or If through
excitement the adrenal glands are
stimulated to discharge and secrete,
the fatigued muscle may regain its
"irritability" in three minutes. The
sugar set free from the liver and cir
culated in the blood stimulates the
muscles, for sugar is the source Of
muscular energy. Fear, rage and pain
are thus given US by nature as agen-
cies to enable us to use our physical
powers to their fullest extent in the
crisis that Lcoduces the excitement
