. TRUTH S J i CAN A CHRISTIAN HATE A MOR J MON. I Tho above question is asked by the Inter-Mountain Republican. Now .to Stlio law and tho testimony in re gard to ths question. Will tho Republican deny that Rev. Lellich, Dr. Paden, Dr. Rift, Rev. Mr. , -' Wishard, Rev. J. Wesley Hill, Rev. Mr. Clemenson, Mrs. Schoff, Mrs. Du bois and last but not least Mr. Chas. Mostyn Owen, are Christians ? Do these people hate a Mormon or do they simply Ho and misrepresent him to j tho good people of the east, to save his so-called benighted soul 7 Are these not well known facts? Mr. Lellich swore that Senator Smoot was a polygamist and that state J ment was sent -broadcast over the i land to prejudice tho peoplo against I Reed Smoot. Petition blanks inspired I by tho majority of tho above named 1 Christians claiming that Reed Smoot 3 was a polygamist were passed around f in nearly every Christian church In the land for signatures asking his remov- al from tho United States senate; the protestants against Reed Smoot knew that it was pre-arranged for Leulch to mako his false affidavit, and for tho rest of them to deny it, a few ' days after, knowng that their object would be accomplished, in fact, follow I lng the old adago that "falsehood is j up and travels leagues before truth has his boots on." For years tho above named "Christians" havo been telling tales, half truth and half lies, which aro more damnable than com plete lies; that tho Mormon spits on i the American flag; that he Is a tra- tor, and that Webster's dictionary does not contain foul enough epithets to hurl at him. Will tho Republican say that the I forenamed Christians do all the above for love ? Is there no malice in their actions? i Is It malice or lovo to bear false wit ness aganst your neighbor. -Every one of the above aro guilty of i bearing false witness against their ' neighbor Mr. Mormon. Tho doctrine I of burning heathens to savo their souls ' has passed away, and Btands con- damned as false and cruel. How much ( more damnable Is it In this enllght- ene'd ago for men cloaked in the livery I of heaven to blacken men's characters l and steal their good reputations. If you call the above named persons Christians, Mr. Republican, it is pos- slblo for not only a Christian to hate a Mormon, but to wallow In the mire of hell to injure him. o j Nothing Doing. ', It was a dull morning in the police court, and tho magistrate, a benedict of long standing, sat In his chair look ing Into space. A prisoner was brought beforo him" and the policeman made a charr "Intoxicated, eh?" muttered the fi, court, absent-mindedly. , ' tt 'Yes, your honor," admitted the i prisoner.

German Dealer Says. "You don't see tho best meerschaum pipes In this country," said a German pipe dealer who learned his trade In Vienna, to a Kansas City Star writer. "Why? Reinuso tho Americans are in too big a hurry. Haven't tlmo to take care of a meerschaum haven't even time to Karn how. When tho American is through smoking ho knocks his pipe on tho heel of his shoe to remove the ashes, shoves It In the most handy pocket and Is on tho run. "Now, In tho old country, a man takes his p'po seriously very seri ously. Ho expects his meerschaum to last him n lifetime and then bo in good repair to hand down to his heir. The pipe Is passed freni generation to generation and it is always handled as carefully as a now-born babe. Tho smoker never touches the bowl whllo it Is warm that would spoil the fine, glossy color. When the German has completed his serious and medltativo smoke his pipo is laid very carefully away, where it will cool properly and without danger of scratching. Ho does not ram It into his pocket with other miscellaneous articles as tho rushing American does. Ho takes his time and gives It his care and attention. "The best meerschaum pipes In tho old country aro made of soft meer schaum and are hand carved. Then they aro boiled In" beeswax. The fino color Is produced by tho wax and nico tine combining. When the pipo is smoked tho wax softens from tho heat. That is why the pipe should not bo touched while warm. Touching mars tho gloss. The American manufacturer does not carve or polish thorn by hand. Tho work Is done by machines. The soft meerschaum, if treated that way, would break, so hard meerschaum, n low grade, is used. Tho hard clay will not absorb beeswax, so it Is boiled in glycerin. Tho most beautiful colors sannot be produced with glycerin." o Farming on the Yukon. W. M. Swinehart has compiled for publication tho results of his experi ence in farming at .Fort Selkirk, and these show that, taking one season with another, tho crops raised'and tho prices received for tho product aro sufficient to cause tho averago farmer In the states to look to tho north with envy, says tho Seattlo Post-Intelligencer. Oat hay, tho chief crop pro duced, yields about three tons to the aero and sells readily in tho spring at from $1(10 to $125 per ton. Demand has never been lacking for all tho hay tho farm produces, since tho .Dawson White Horse stage line, on which from 250 to 400 horses aro used every win tor for several months, passes within a few miles of tho farm. Potatoes yield from " reo to five tons to tho aero and bring as much as 25 cents a pound. Tho average prico for a series of years has been a fraction over 20 cents a pound. Rutabagas yield six tons to tho acre and sell for G cents a pound, or $720 an aero. Carrots yield three tons to tho aero and soil for 15 cents a pound, a return of $900 per aero. Cabbages vary In production to season .ranging from three to eight tons to tho acre, and tho price ranges fconAldtoTsOcents a pound. It Is an excb, ,,ial season when tho Swlno hart iurnT-does-'irot- net its owners an THEN THEY PASSED ON. Lurid Pun Marked End of Conversa tion Between Poets. "My son," asked tho aged Virgil, as they paused to rest in a sunshiny spot In order to avoid meeting so many shades, "my son, looking back over what you havo beheld since coming to this place, which do you consider la the worst Canto you havo seen?" 'Number nino and a half, series B. Dat's do sausage," answered Dante without hesitation. "Tho sausage?" inquired Virgil. "I mean do wurst," hastily corrected tho poet. "And why, my son?" further nosled his guide. "Well, dat's whero do ghost of Dill do barkeep wouldn't stand mo off fer a couple o' drinks. Ho sii: mo faco was dead, nn' I can't owe dat houso any t'ln'! Rut wofs dat placo over dore, whore dey mako so much nolso? Ro minds mo of d" boilor shops back o' Lafferty's caffy." "That," explained Virgil, "Is called the three L resort." "Do wot?" gasped Dante In short meter. "The threo L's; It stands for tho Lurid Liars' Lair. All liars aro put to work hero for a season," said Virg. "Wot dey doin'?" Forging lies,' 'answered Virgil, ana then after wondering whether poetic license would bo likely to be found at tho threo L's, they passed tho raise. T.ledo Dlade. o Logical Education. Tho old ninn hobbled Into tho offico of a Hfo insurance agent. "I want to got my life Insured," ho said. "Sorry, sir," replied the agent, "but I can't insure you." "What's tho reason you can't?" de manded the applicant. "Because of your age," explained tho other. "By the way, how old aro you?" "Ninety-three." Nothing doing at that age." "But you Insure men of BO." "Oh, yes; but that's quito differ ent.' "But the difference Is In my fa vor," protested tho old man. "I can prove by your own figures that fewer men die at tho ago of D3 than at 50." o The "White Feather." An official of tho Smithsonian Instl lutlon was speaking of tho origin of lomo well known phrases, and pointed ;o a small mounted bird. This bird ivas a French gray on tho back, drab Kcast, black wings, and with a small ut conspicuous white spot at tho base )f tho tall. "That is a wheatear," tho official mid. "It is very common In Scotland, whero it is known ns tho 'clacharan.' It is from thlB bird that wo get tho ex pression, 'Showing tho white feather.' Ifou will notice the location of tho nly white feathers on its body they :on bo seen only when tho bird Is fly no: awaj from you." Tho Sunday Magazine. o Surgery. "They claim that by means of mod ern surgery bad boya may be rendered good." "I'll stick to tho old fashioned kind." "What's that?" "Skinning 'cm olive." Loulsvllio Courier Journal.
