MR.. CATERPILLAR.

Just because I crawl these days
doesn't mean that I am going to crawl
my way through life" said Mr.. Cat
erpillar to Peter Gnome.
81 am going to fly before long. Now
boys and girls must always walk or
run or sit. They cannot fly. They
cannot even crawl, though I believe
babies do crawl some when they are
quite young.
IF they changed after they had
craw1ed, and could fly, it would be
very fine; but they can't, and some
how or other they do not seem to feel
badly about 1t.
Il would feel very badly If, after
had orawled about, couldn't fly later
on. know that 1 will be able to fly,
and so it makes me very happy.
You see, first Of all I'm nothing but
an egg. If we're an egg to be eaten
by people, I suppose they would think
a lot of he.

FOOLISH TO CLIMB MOUNTAIN
England Looked on Alpinists With
Distinct Disfavor Only Some
Seventy Years Ago.

The first ascent of the season Of
Mont Blanc, just made by two English
men, is not nowadays regarded as a
piece of pointless madness, as were
the mountaineering efforts of Albert
Smith seventy years ago. Mr.. Philips,
of Christ Church, Oxford who went
up with Smith in 1851, wrote: II
strongly recommend anyone who may
feel ambitious of ascending Mont
Blanc TO consider before he attempts
an expedition which cannot be condu-
Give of any good to himself or others,
and which is attended with frightful
risk not only for himself but for those
persons who, allured by desire Of
gain, endanger their lives in his
service"
And a leading London journal, COM
menting severely on the expedition,
summed up with THE aimless
scramble of four pedestrians to the
top of Mont Blanc will not go far to
redeem the somewhat equivocal repu-
tation of the herd of English tourists
in Switzerland for mindless and
rather vulgar redundance of mere
animal spirits. "-Manchester Guar

the news to her.

served, returning home one evening
from his office. Adelaide, 1t seems
10 me you should have held on to that
chap when you had him. Think Of the
Sociai distinction-not to mention the
money side Of the question"
adelaide felt much the same. The
immaculate man with high ambitions
nau not yet come, and she was begin
ming to fear he never would. Yes,
Gilbert would be good catch now.
When Gilbert arrived he was greet.
ed by a crowd Of friends and would-be
friends. The mayor was there to
snake his hand and welcome him
nome. 1t was such a grand thing for
one OF the home boys to make good
out In the world, said the mayor, and
ADDED that he had always predicted
great things for Gilbert.
Gilbert looked little different from
his old self. He was not perfectly
dressed, and his collar had a smudge
on it, and his tie was not adjusted just
right. But persons who had criticized
MIN for his untidiness in the past now
quite approved, holding it was neces-
sary to genius.
AT home Jerry handed Gilbert a pack
OF social invitatioPe, and among the
lot was one from Adelaide Whitman.
Jerry WINGED as she saw him tear It
open and read.
He still cares" she sighed.
The epistle was more than a social
invitation.
Il realize now" It said, that 1 was
mistaken before and that really

will forget that last note l wrote and
things can be with us as they were be-
fore"
Gilbert laid the note aside and
smiled whimsically. Then he turned
a peculiar glance on Jerry-One she
never had noticed beforehand invited
her for stroll along the woody path
where he had gone so often in quest
of inspiration. They were gone some
time, and when they returned both
were smiling happily.

He picked up Adelaide's note, read
it again, then wrote a reply.
Il am sorry" said the note he
penned, but am forced to agree

for the machine. On setting out it
assembled so slowly that after it had
r. s-n about 100 feet the pilot decided
that his load was over heavy for the
230-mile journey, and returned to the

some Of the passengers from the first
were transferred TO 1t; whereupon
both machines flew off in company to

RADIO river. There is no authentic .eU-
ord of further explorations until over
200 years had elapsed. In 1776 two
Franciscan friars, in their attempt to
find the shortest way to the Pacific.
went from Santa Fe to Utah Lake. The
Great Salt Lake, however, was not dis
covered until 1924. when James
Bridges, trapper. in wandering
through this region came upon this
huge, inland, salt sea.
But the real history of Utah begins
with the rise of Mormon power there.
Discouraged by the agitation in Illinois
and Missouri, the MormOns decided to
emigrate to the great West. In large
caravans they travelled across the
plains and in 1917 came to Salt Lake
City where they settled. Here they
fourished, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached a total In
this vicinity of over 1900. Meanwhile.
in 1S48, by the terms Of the treaty OF
peace with Mexico, a huge western
tract, Of which Utah was a part, was
ceded to the United States. AS no
definite government was arranged for,
the control of affairs locally was for
a number of years entirely in the
hands of the officers Of the Mormon
church. They. accordingly, made up
a constitution and organized under
the name of the State of Deseret. This
is a word taken from the Book OF
Mormon, and signifies, Industry" Ap-
pllcatiOn was made for admission to
the Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead organ
lied the Territory of Utah in 1850. The
first governor was Brigham Young, the
successor of Joseph Smith and presi-
dent of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with polyg-
amy met with little success until In
1890 the Mormon church finally agreed
not TO countenance it. Meanwhile,
growing antagonlsm between the Nor
mons and non-Mormons verged nearly
on civil war Finally a general ann
nesty was declared and after many re-
quests Utah was accepted as the for
ty-fifth state of the Union in 1896.
