1t is regrettable that these requests
can not be complied with owing to
the fact that the law has only been

its birth records. There has never

TWO SINNERS.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There a man. it said one time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet
When the blood is river that's running riot?
And boys will be boys the old folks say,
And the man is better who'd had his day,
The sinner reformed and the preach told
OF the prodigal son who came back to his fold,
And Christian people threw open the door,
With a warmer welcome than ever before
Wealth and honor his to command,
And a spotless woman gave him her hand.
And the world strewed their pathway with blossoms
abloom,
Crying God bless adye and God bless groom!'
There maiden who went astray
In the golden dawn of her ifes young day,
She had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed blindly where fond Love led.
And Love unchecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side
The woman repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened to let her in,
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy-in Heaven.
For this is the law of the earth, know;
That the woman is stoned, while the man may go.

But the world said frowning, 1--WE shall not call"

FASTEST THING ON EARTH.

The highest speed ever travelled
by man on the face of the earth
nearly 143 miles an hour-was
made by a racing automobile on the
great expanse of level salt deposits
in Utah.
The automobile run was made by
a famous racing motorist, and the
best time for one mile was 25.2 Sec
onds. which is equal to 142.85 miles
an hour, trifle better than the best
preceding record. made on the beach
at Daytona, Fla. in April. 1911.
This is the highest speed ever trav-
eled by man on the face Of the
earth. The best speed ever made by
a vehicle running on rails was that
recorded in the Berlin-Zossen tests
OF electric cars in 1908, when a rate
of 1905 miles an hour was made.
The crystallized salt in this Utah
bed makes a hard and absolutely
level surface, and 1t is said that
even in the hottest weather It does
not heat the tires of automobiles
The salt beds are sixty-nve miles
long and eight miles wide. The es-
timated depth. in the middle. is
twelve to fifteen feet. The salt is
white and averages 1913 per cent.
