led for ten years. The officials,
without consulting him, offered
him a contract, the terms of
(which were that lie was to receive
an annual salary of SIS 900, the

Igregation grows the privilege
Iof retiring him at the enc of
twenty years (the contract being
for life) on a salary of 81, 500
per year, and, in the event OF his
death, they to pay to Mrs. Levy
SIS, 900 per year during her life.
Certainly a remarkable contract.
There is a reason why lie is
paid so we'll. If you hear him
on the Chautauqua platform, you
will understand what it is that
wins for him such favor.
He has devoted his energies to
theology, philanthropy, econo-
mics and literature. He is by
nature an orator. He is also an
optomist-a rational one. His
coming is refreshing ; he brings
good tidings. One cannot listen
to him for an hour without EEL
ing that ones fellow man cal be
trusted and that tomorrow will
be better than today.
DR.. Levy is liberal preacher
who does not have to go away
from home to get an audience.
His weekly addresses in his pull
pit on Sunday mornings are at.
tended by large congregations of
people of all denominations.
The Chautauqua managef1e mt
IS to be congratulated on having
secured DIR. Levy for a lecture.

Everybody is remarking nowadays
that the German, the Frenchman, the
Swiss, the Italian, and SO on, is deep

fering it his services and life; where
as the only sentiment the American
has for his country is expressed by
swearing at the government when he
pays his income tax. Switzerland par
ticularly, with its citizen soldiery and
universal military training, is held up
as an example for US; but that is

danger that constantly presses on

Three generations have passed away
since citizens of the United States

In the fact of a common and ever

A Foul Name.

The early settlers in and around
Browns Hole never lost anything
through the peculations of petty
thieves until the neighbors moved in
and became sociable to the degree
that things began to turn up missing
in the most mysterious manner. One
of the invaders was llong-legged
was johnson and for lack of any fur
ther evidence on the subject the boys
let ii go at that. There never was
much in a name anyhow and folks
were not very particular regarding
pedigree or nomenclature good or bad
for they were too busy with more
material matters. No one ever sus-
pected the longhorn Johnson of ways
that were dark or tricks that were
vain until one sad night when some
thoughtless person up at Green River
city Inadvertently bethought himself
to give a dance to which Johnson was
invited by some stress of circum-
stance.

were all working overtime with light
fantastic toe or something of that sort
the honorable Mr.. Johnson, formerly
of Texas, not only quietly stole away
but took the fried chicken with him
when nobody happened to be on guard
at the commissary department. When
1t was discovered that the braised
rooster had flown the coop and that
there would be no midnight feed fit
for the gods the bull herd turned out
on the dog watch and soon captured
Johnson with the purloined fowl
They gallantly took 1t from him. ate
IL themselves and hased the pilfering
culprit out into the sagebrush pretty
much as Hagar OF old was excom-
municated by decent society. Ever
after this momentous event in the COW
country the precursor OF all that was
wrong and despicable was called
Chicken johnson and the feathered
cognomen followed him out Of the
country.
Further than this and worst Of all
the remaining residents had to go to
the unprecedented expediency of lock
ing their doors every night for by this
unhappy time civilization had moved
in and spread its mantle of charitable
peace over the beautiful landscape
much to the chagrin and everlasting
unhappiness of the oldtimers nor have
any of them ever looked the same.
AS for Chicken Johnson the stigma
Of his tribal relationship like the un-
dying scent OF the foriorn rose clings
to him still II he yet remains alive to
enjoy the cheerful distinction. for he
could not have run fast enough to
get away from it-Field and Farm.
