the past and you will find women
ON the battle fields, women in the
hositals, women in sick chambers,
women always in the hours of man g

the crisis points of human life, every

In this work she has developed
special, peculiar virtues and quail
ties which have given her power.
Beauty Of face, of form, beauty Of
mind, of character and of soul, en-
durance, patience, fidelity; these are
her peculiar possessions and these
from the beginning have proved
themselves to be the highest powers
that humanity has known-the
charm and signet of woman-hood.
Scientists tell us that in the evolu-
ton of the world there are two ten
denotes always at work. One is the
tendency to vary, to produce some
new thing, to branch out in some
new direction. The other is the
hereditary tendency, which clings to
the present and tends always to re-
peat the past.
From the lowest forms of life
clear up to man it is the masculine
that is the source of the tendency
to vary, and it is the femme that is
the source of the tendency to con-
serve and keep what has been already
attained.
1t may be that we have reached
a point in human evolution where

AMELIA KIRKPATRICK HOME

Miss Amelia Kirkpatrick and lit
tie nephew Harold, son Of J. F.
Kirkpatrick returned to Blackfoot
last Sunday evening, after spending
several months in st. Louis. Mo-,
where the little boy was being
treated at the McLain sanitorium for
infantile paralysis. Miss Kirkpatrick
is delighted and emphatic over the
wonders that are performed at this
institution for cripples. They make
q specially of treating and curing
bow legs and club feet and Miss Kirk
patrick says it is almost unbe-
lievable the wonders they preform
along this line. Her little nephew
is very much improved and she con-
siders the time she spent there in
deed worth while.
Miss Kirkpatrick Is a native of
Blackfoot and says she is mighty
glad to be home again among her
many friends. She says she likes
Missouri alright but will take TIE
good old west for hers any day, be-
cause it is possible for one to get
good breath of fresh air out here.
Her many friends are glad to have
her among them again.

Results From Grace Plant
H. M. Ferguson, electrical engin-
eer of the Utah Power & Light Co..
testified that If the entire capacity
of its best plant, at Grace, were used
for heating purposes alone, cutting
off lights and power for Industrial
purposes, it would not be sufficient
to heat more than 100 OF the 1882
houses of McCammon, Soda Springs,
Bancroft, Georgetown, Montpelier
and Paris
Would Deprive Industries
The managers of small electrical
plants all declared it would be i'm
practical to furnish electric energy
for heating in their territory at any
cost. The capacities were not suf-
ficient and the available water power
to be developed would not bring
them up to meet a general demand.
Some said they had surplus power
that If used under compulsion for
heating, irrespective of price, would
deprive industry, and especially min
ing, of needed power at seasonable
periods and their communities Of
many thousands of dollars.

Great Scheme to Deceive His

1t was a bitter hot day in Octember.
James x. Oylekan was worried. He
took several steps to and approximate

saw at once this was the wrong course.
He began to add the remainder and
subtract 1t from the quotient. That
didn't work, too, SO he bethought him
to try another way.
He doubled up his fist and laid it
down where 1t would be handy if he
needed 1t. Suddenly he looked for his
fist and saw 1t was gone, and In its
place was nothing but hand. He put
the hand in his pocket, and in doing so
found that the hole he had carefully
placed in his pocket in the morning
was still there. But he found some
thing else that gave him start His
face went pale. plague take It'll" he
gnarled
On second thought his face bright
ened and he slapped his thigh, "Jove I"
he ecstasied "This letter my wife
gave me two weeks ago to mail, ask
ing her mother to come. I'll hold 1t
and mail it on its first birthday. She'll
never notice the year on the postmark.

CHAIRMAN RILEY
 ANSWERS CURTIS
Explains Routine Of Charity De-
 pertinent Finances

Chairman Frank Riley, of the char ity department, authorized Superin- tendent A. J. Hart today to give out a statement to the press refuting statements made by Alderman o. F. Curtis at the council meeting last evening relative to the way the de- partment conducts certain matters of business. Among other things, Alder man Curtis questioned the right of the department to change the salary of the investigator from $1,200 to 1000 when a new man was appointed. He likewise criticised the custom of the
 board in making out is payroll and
 obtaining pay checks before the end
 of the month for which the pay is to
 be given. The third warden also in
 troduced a resolution calling for a change in the pay day and providing that the department pay it's salaries on the 18th of each month or on the day before or after that date should it fall on Sunday or holiday.
 Referring to the first item, Superin - tendent Hart said that his departm ent
 has a, perfect right to fix the salary
 of the investigator. He explained that
 when B. c. Mercy first took the posi-
 tion, he received S1,0O0 a year, and
 worked for two years. Then when
 he became skilled in the work his sal
 ary was increased by the board to
 $1,2OO, beginning on November 1. MT. Mercy resigned on January 1 and MT
 Murphy took his place. Being a new
 man and inexperienced the board de- cided to start him in at $1,0O0 a year and will doubtless increase his pay later when he becomes a, more valu- able emplOye. Superintendent Hart declared that the charity department has a right under the charter and or dinances to fix salaries and only that of the superintendent, which is fixed by the board, must be approved by the council.
 ] In reference to the pay check con- 1 troversy Mir. Hart said that ever since | 1906 the charity department has col ] lected it's bills, including the salary 1 items, and presented them to the | finance committee in order that they l might be approved by the council l Upon being signed by the comptrolle, | the bills are paid and the salary l checks are kept in the safe until due l and no man gets his pay in advance
 he declared Were the department l to adopt different method it would 1 be a month later before the employees 1 could get heir pay because of the de- | lay in waiting for the approval of the l following finance meeting and counci | session.
 | Likewise. MT. Hart explained that the department will be unable to pay 1 it's bills on the 18th of every month l because all bills except rent must be ! approved by the council and ofttimes ! the council does not meet until after l that date.
