Was He Really a
: Hero?
By F. A. Mitchell

A man, quite the worse for wear, a
crutch under one arm, opened gate
and limped up the walk. In the center
of ample grounds stood the house, the
whole forming one of these old Eng
! fish places that denote age and re-
specta bility. On the way he met a
girl, leading a big dog, which, seeing
the disreputable person who had en-
tered the grounds. growled. The girl
reproved the dog, then looking at the
man, said:
would you like something to eatr
81 certainly would"
"Go up to the house. I'll be there In
a few minutes and will see that you
are given something"
The man hobbled up to the house and
going on to the porch seated himself
on a wicker chair. In few minutes
the gin returned and seeing him sit
ting on the porch gave him a look that
was intended to annihilate him. He
paid no attention to her, and after re.
garding him for a few moments she
went into the house. Presently but
Ter came out on to the porch with a
salver on which was meal. and set
Il down on table. The man. who
was evidently very hungry, applied
himself to It, then asked the butler II
he could give him anyth.1g to wash 1t
down. The butler gave him more
crushing look than his mistress and
disappeared. After a conference with
her he returned with a decanter and
glass. The man took a stiff drink,
then told the butler to say to the young
lady that he would like to speak with
her. In a few minutes she came out
and stood waiting for what he had to
say.

As to Business Apparel.

The New York Sun in a recent ISSUE
commented extensively on woman's dress
and referred TO the attitude taken by
some business houses in regard to the at
tire of their employees as follows: Even
ing gowns for Office work are not the
thing, apparently, according to the die
tates of the Mutual Life Insurance com.
pany of Newark, n. J. That mutual
| benefit" is not confined to the distribu-
ton of insurance policies, in the estima
ton of Edward r. Rhodes, vice president
of the company. was evident when few
days ago he was reported to have called
his women employees to him and stated
in effect that the wearing OF decolette
waists. abbreviated skirts and exclsma
ton point stockings would bar women
from the ranks of their employees
AT the same time the Bell Telephone
company from its Philadelphia office pub
lshed similar edict, to wit;
1--WE object to our girls coming to work
with their noses powdered and their
cheeks painted This and the wearing
of knee-length skirts has greatly annoyed
the company. We have decided to stamp
out such practices. ANY employee com
ing to work dressed like a chorus girl
is sent home or requested to wash her
face. We have sent good many home.

Miss Virginia Spencer, in charge of
the welfare of 5000 girls of the National
Cloak & Suit Co.. which was not the firm

His Question.

A party of young men were camping
and to avert annoying questions they
made it a rule that the one who asked a
question that he could not answer him
self had to do the cooking.
One evening while sitting around the
fire, one of the boys asked: why is it
that a ground squirrel never leaves any
dirt at the mouth of its burrow?"
They all guessed and missed. So he
was asked to answer it himself.
why" he said, because it always
begins to dig at the other end of the
hole"
But" one asked, show does it get to
the other end of the hole?"
well" was the reply, that's your
question"

RICH MEN VISIT THE
HOLMES PROPERTIES

Some very prominent business men
of Salt Lake and Los Angeles were the
guests of Gus Holmes, ST., last week.
The party was shown over the differ
'ent properties of the Holmes interests
and left Chloride with high hopes for
the future prosperity of the camp.
In two automobiles the visitors were
shown the Midnight, keystone, Silver
keystone and North Georgia. Parti-
cular interest was taken in the Key
stone and Silver keystone, where re-
cent developments show the POSSIBLE
ties for big production. In the crowd
were several millionaires and bankers
whose judgment in making invest
ments will be sought by outside in
vestors, with the result, no doubt, that
Chloride will reap rich results. In the
party were; R. Hoag, president First
National bank, Ogden; H. Williams,
wealthy candy manufactures, Ogden;
Andrew McNally, banker, Los Ange-
les; Adam Patterson, banker, Ogden;
w. Nelson, wealthy stockman, Black
foot, Idaho; W. o. Kay, grain dealer,
Salt Lake; G. S. Holmes, ST., capital

joined the party at Los Angeles and
made the trip to Chloride in private
car.
