CHRISTMAS EDITIONS.
H J The Logan Journal's Christmas
Hi ,' edition proved to be a Lwctity-clijlit
H j t page publication lllled with matter
H ! ' made appropriate by Die Joseph
H Smith centenary. The mechanical
H work was but fairly done. Considering
H the fact, that the oil Ice boasts a $1,000
H linotype and a line now press, tho
H j publication Is not more than tho pub-
H i Ho had a right to expect. Tho con-
H I tents of the edition were written by
H Mayoi Robinson, M.J. Ballard, James
B A. Lclshmau the poet, various local
H ' people having knowledge of the
H Prophet Joseph, Dr. Ccorgc Thomas,
H W. M. Wolfe, County Supt. McCarrey,
H Andreas Peterson, Louis I!, Cardon.
H Tho various articles presented arc
H j worthy their authors and prove In-
HJ j ' tercstlng' reading.
Hi I To the knowing there Is an In
I measurable difference between tho
' ''hand-me-down" and tailor-made suit
of clothes. As great dilTcrcuco
exists between tho Goodwin's Weekly
Christmas edition and all others of
this western country. It possessed
HJ jj the charm that goes with tho genuine,
HJ j the thing of real value and though It
Ht contained a reference or so not quite
HJ satisfactory to tho orthodox Mormon,
HJ It must have given Intense pleasure in
HJ every homo to which lb went Regard-
HJ less of what he may say, there is no
HJ i man west of the Mississippi who can
HJ. ay It quite like Goodwin. In its
HJ simplicity, perfect ad and press work
HJ the paper was a typographical gem,
HJ j also.
HJ ThoChrlstmasedltionoftheDeseict
1 H News was all and more than tho pub
He could reasonably expect even of the
News which In the. past has done
,r nothing less than tho wonderful In
HJ tho way of special editions. lb was
Hi exhaustive In its description of Utah,
J' t Nevada and Idaho resources and pos-
slbllltlcs. Cache valley people feel
' , that this end of Utah was slighted
Hi but must needs acknowledge the mag-
Hj mllccncc of the News, nevertheless.
HE ' Typographically tho edition w,is a tie-
HJ ' light to the eye of all the knowing
HJ ' and pleasing even to the uninitiated.
B ' The Pocatcllo Tribune comes to our
Hb desk a thirty-six page edition with the
HJ cover In colors. Tho number is highly
1 creditable In every respect, containing
as it docs splendid Illustrations ofl'o-
HJ catcllo and Bannock county enter-
! prises with well-written descriptive
matter. Thu edition Is very compre
hensive and as an advertisement for
Tho Tribune, Pocatcllo and Uapnock
county is such that great good ' must
, result. Tho publlsheis and typo
graphical force arc to be heartily con-
i gratulatcd on thejhorough success of
this effort.
Hj , Tho Box Elder Hcpoit, lirighatn
H j ' city, came out with eight pages In
Hb , I green, the front page hearing two
HI'lI colors and "The Good Shepherd."
Hb'kj j The edition is very creditable to The
Hl: if I . Report ottlce.
If The Oakley Kagle (A. l. Merrill's
paper) didn' l attempt anything elab
orate, bub did present Its readers a
few extra pages and some good read-
mmmm . ing matter. For some oitlees to do
HK , this means far mora than for others to
HB : Issue 100 pages in colors.
H A POINTER.
Hi In "contemplating the boom" that
HB is coming to Salt Lake city as a result
Hh 1 of the many forces now at work in
HB I favor of that city, Goodwin's Weekly
HB j offers timely suggestions that arc tin-
BBB doubtedly well worth the while. With
BBM tho building of so many railroads, tho
BB work of the "Sec America First Or-
BBfj ganlzatlon," and tho opening of many
BBj! big mines In Utah and Nevada, all can
BBJj see a great increase of population for
BBJ; Salt Lake city and tho whole inter-
BBJf mountain country, and Goodwin's
BBJ Weekly urges preparation for them,
fll at the same time pointing ways of
BBJ making money in tho preparation.
BHj Tho part of particular interest to
BBb , local readers Is In the following:
HMl, "With the work to bo done, with
HBT' the increased population which that
BB1 ll work wl" DrinK llcrc lll merchants
BBS1' who sell food should, so far as thoy
BBlN can, bo making plans to receive am-
pie supplies of staple food at Just as
BBH reasonable llgures as possible. For
HHj! Utah, under present conditions, can-
Hhbbhhmhhi ' '"""""'':""'"'"' ."
not supply the vegetables, tho ordin
ary meats, the poultry or more than a
moiety of the fruits that will be re
quired. And Utah farmers should
get a new impetus to mako thclrfarms
more productive. For Instance, tho
cry Is already raised that celery Is De
cerning scarce, and the price Is liable
to advance. That Is a reproach to
Utah farmers. At present prices,
thcro must be a pro lit of quite. $100
per acre on celery, and It Is not yet
New Years. Every day there Is un
loaded bushels and bushels of Import
ed onions and cabbage before the
wholesale stores. This is a direct Im
peachment of the Industry, thrift and
intelligence of Utah farmers, for thcro
is a prollb of from 1 100 bo $.100 on every
aero of onions or cabbages raised hi
this vicinity. Again, with just a lit
tle effort, a little Intelligent work, tho
egg and poultry producb of this chain
of valleys from abovo Logan to beyond
Provo, mlRht be multiplied by four.
Again, many old orchards which pro
duce only inferior fruit remain year
after year ungraftcd and unattci ded,
which is a perpetual evidence of tho
laziness and utter want of foresight of
tho owners."
These are not Idle suggestions. It
is in prcpardncss that most men have
made their fortunes and only In that
will fortunes be made In the future by
most men.
Tiik Kki'uiilican gavojts employes
a Christmas holiday and the editorial
and rcpertorial staff took advantago
of tho opportunity to get lazy, also.
As a conscqucnco the columns of this
publication aro noted for tho absence
rather than tho preponderance of
nows. Considering tho circumstances
connected with this lapse, we trust that
the rcadlngpubllc will be indulgent. .
PARROTS LIVE FOR A CENTURY.
Could Talk as Well as a Man If Edu
cated When -Young.
There Is no doubt of tho fact that
the parrot Is one of the longest lived
of all animals. There Is a woll-eu-thcntlcntcd
case of a grown man who
used to go to sco a remarkable talk
ing cockatoo which 'his grandmother
nad personally known when who was a
little Rlrl. So It s probably no falrj
story thnt the birds sometimes sur
vive for a century, Inasmuch as actual
knowledge of tho particular fowl cov
ered something like seventy years.
In the West Indies and elsewhere lr
thu tropics parrots aro commonly al-'
lowed to roam at will about house
gardens and nt meal times, when they
hear tho clatter of plates they will
walk Into tho dining-room, climb on
tho backs of tho chairs and Insist up
on their share of whatever there Is to
eat.
It seems odd, when ono comes to
think of It, that birds should be tho
ouly nnlmals that can talk. There aro
other speaking hints beside parrots,
of course such as the crow, for exam
ple, hut parrots aro decidedly the
most capable convei nationalists. So
excellent Is the vocal organ with
which a parrot Is provided that If It
only had the requisite brains It could
talk almost ns well as a man. Doubt
less the most Intelligent parrots arc
the best speakers other things being
equal, but, as already suggested, no
parrot, however clever, can become a
flrst-rato talker unless Its education
has been begun early In life.
KURDS QUICK TO GIVE BATTLE.
Ready Fighting "Follows Attempted
Theft of Sheep.
Col. P. H. II. Massy tells of this
battle which ho witnessed In tho
course of his explorations In Asiatic
Turkey. Tho cause of tho light wap
an attempted theft of sheep. Ho says:
"Some tlocks wero being 'driven oil
ncross the Slpkanll Kurds' bonier
when tho usual alarm signals, shots
tired and smoko fires kindled at all
tho villages around, brought clouds
of horsemen galloping wildly acioss
hi that direction. This did not look
very reassuring in tho middle of so
wild a country, where a human life ly
never worth thnt of n good sheep, but
wo soon perceived, by tho yelling
Kurds with grinning faces who dashed
past uf,, that to us no harm was In
tended. "Wo reached the village not far from
which tho battle wan raging to find the
flat roofs occupied by all tho women.
Quito regardless of stray bullets thoy
followed tho fluctuating fortunes of
their side nrald the din of their own
shrill tongues, which almost drownod
the thundering reports of the Kurdish
powder, anything but noiseless or
smokeless,
"It was fcoon over. The flocks wero
triumphantly brought back, together
with tho bodies of a fow dead Kurdr
and somo others wounded. We passed
on amid the walling of tho women Just
widowed In a llcht for a few sheep.''
Fiddle Rescued at Newburyport.
After a heated discussion at n pa
Ish meeting In Newburyport Mass.,
regarding choir or congregational
singing, which resulted m favor of
the former, the question arose what
Instruments should bo used. For near
ly a week tho members bad dliciibsed
tho matter, and they favored all i ut
tho fiddle, objecilng to that because If
was "tho devil's iusti anient." used
mostly at dances, etc.
As the vote was about to be called
for. Elder Hale, who had occupied a
var seat, said: "1 navf llstenoi as
patiently as the ox In the furrow to
tho pros nnd cons of this long dU'cus
slon. You have accepted all but tho
liddle, the leading Instrument. Your
only objection to It is that the devil
has It. Now. I think ho has hart It

take it from him and use it our

Description of Tom Lawson
Most Interesting Article Detailing Law
son's Career and his Recent Failure.
Amalgamated Copper slock, against
which Thomas W. Lawson has waged
a bitter campaign. has risen apovc par,
touching 1001. It soared to 102 and
Wall street said Lawson had been hit
a staggering blow llnancially.
Months ago Lawson began advising
people In full-page advertisements to
sell copper short. Several weeks ago
he announced the formation of a pool
to speculate In copper stocks. lie
scut out notices last week to pool sub
scribers showing a loss of 3(1 per cent,
$1,200,000 In metal, and $'J, 100,000 in
stocks, since last accounting.
Lawson now advises his followers
that they may withdraw the balance
of their subscriptions. Two mortgag
es for $2G5,(HX) have been tiled against
Lawson's rcsldenco In Roston, and
they are supposed to represent part of
his losses.
Lawson is a Handsome Man.
Thomas William Lawson, born forty-live
years ago In Cliurlcstown,Mass.,
the son of a Nova Scotlan carpenter of
splendid means. Is a strikingly hand
some man, of clear-cut features and
the figure of an athlete, standing over
six feet in height, splendidly propor
tioned. Vitriolic of pen, dramatic of speech,
startling of deed, a olttcr hater, a
furious worker, a phenomenal money
maker, a liberal spender, of tremen
dous energy and wonderful resource
fulness, Lawson has had a stormier
career than that of any financier In
modern annals. Thrice ho has "gone
broke", only to duplicate tho fabled
Phoenix by raising from the ashes of
defeat to richer heights.
Starting his career by running away
from school at 12 years of age to be
come an errand boy in a broker's of
fice, Lawson at Id made a small for
tune in a pool with other olllcc boys,
only to drop lb In a squeeze of stocks
a few days later. This break cost him
$50,841 out of $00,000. Ho spent all
bub $4.30 of tho balance in giving a
dinner to his friends, and gave the
$4.30 to tho waitor as a tip.
"I decided to make ttaclean sweep,"
ho said.
lie married at 21, ana is the father
of six children. Onco ho bought a new
carnation for $30,000, and named lb
for his wife, and at another time be
cause his wife liked the site ho bought
some barren, rocky '.and near Scltuate,
Mass , and spent $2,000,000 transform
ing lb into a stock farm, naming It
"Drcamwold," and making It famous
for Its magnificent blooded horses and
cattle.
Has Made Millions in Day.
It has been Lawson's way and lob to
make and lose millions of dollars in a
single day with tho unconccrnedness
of a labotcr who cleans up $1 cutting
grass or shoveling snow. lie made
his debut in State street, Roston's
financial district, seventeen years ago,
In a light againsb a store service com
pany, being Interested in a rival par
ent on the cash carriers used. lie won,
smashed the company and reorganized
it with himself on thu inside.
In lb'.t.! in a, stock camgalgn of the
Westinghouse Klcctrio company
against the General Elcctriccompany,
ho stuffed $2,031,000 In llfty-elght days
for himself and his backets. Then ho
"plunged" in sugar and "went,
broke" for the second time In his
career."
Next he promoted a "boom town"
In Kentucky and lost heavily for him
self aud those backing him,
Dips Into Copper.
Hecomlng interested In Uuttc &
Roston Copper Mining company's
shares, he bought at 75 cents and
"bulled" It to $75. Then ho did aboub
tho same thing with stock of tho Ros
ton & Montana company. Tho year
1900 found him tho possessor of $30,-000,000-and
about to step Into tho
fight which has led to his present
straits. ,
Lawson Interested Henry H. Rogers
and other Standard Oil men in tho or
ganization of tho Amalgamated Cop
per company, fell out with them In
1IKU and diopped about $10,000,000 In
tho great crash which lilt so many
Detroit speculators, among them
Frank C. Andrews. Lawson vowed
vengeance on Rogers and all his
friends, and began his famous
"Frenzied Finance" stories In u New
York magazine as part of his cam
paign of cxposuro and revenge. In
cldentaliy he sought to strike his
enemies occasionally In stock market.
Articles and speculations lit've alike
cost him dear. Ills vitriolic language
aroused his opponents and made new
ones. Whllo ho stung tho Standard
Oil and.insuranco company speculators
he failed to bring them to their knees.
For abuse they returned. When l.o
called them thieves and constructive
i
murderers, heartless, soulless wot
shlpcrs of money, they called him a
maniac and called In expert testimony
to show that his brain was awry.
Now, by their mcchinatlons In the
stock market they have hit him a
'body blow that will take all his energy
and resourcefulness to sustain.
NEW CURE FOR SNAKE'S BITE.
Follows Plan of "Hair of the Dog
That Bit You."
"Take a hnlr of tho dog that bit
you," Is an old rii'w that, as a sug
gested remedy, has led many a man
out of the frying pan Into the fire,
and It cannot certainly bo recommend
ed as a cure suitable for modern
times, when nn antidote is more rec
ommend; de.
Dogs nro not, however, the only anl
mals whos blto Is to bo feared; 'tint
those people whoso travels have led
them to far lands know that pclson
ous snakes are much more to ho
dreaded.
Though by fnr the greater propor
tion of thoso persons thus bitten die.
there Is a certain number who re
cover, thanks to prompt measuics,
and thnnkB also to tho administration
of tho exact remedy which any par
ticular suakH bite requires.
It haB lately been reported that, on
tho principle of tho old adage men
tioned abovo wilch thus servos a
turn an almost 'crtnln euro 'or
snake bite Is the Injection of a hi? all
portion of tho bile of the reptllo
which has attacked any one, and
which tho snake being geneinlly
killed on tho spot Is natural! at
hand.
The gall bladder Is etr.-icled, Its
contents filtered, nnd tho fluid inject
ed under tho skin. Tho method
sounds somewhat complicated; but
no snake-bitten person will complain
If by this mtaas ho escapee a rapid
'death.
Tho experiments made have given
tho best results, those recovoting
from the poisonous Mto of n South
American snake coming off with noth
ing worse than an abscess at tho
point of penetration of tho serpent's

NORTH STAR NEVER CHANGES.
;
Retains Always Its Fixed Position in
the Heavens.
Tho pole star Is really the most Im
portant of tho stars In tho sky. It
marks tho north at all times. It alono
Is tlxed In the heavens. All tho other
stars seem to swing around it once In
twenty-four hours.
Hut the polo star of Polaris Is not a
very bright one, and It would bo hard
to Identify but for the help of tho so
called pointers In tho Dig Dipper or
Great Hoar. The outer rim of tho dip
per points nearly to Polaris, at a dis
tance equal to three times tho space
that separates the two stars of tho
dipper's outer side. Various Indians
call the polo star the "homo star'' and
"tho star that never moves," nnd the
dipper they call thu "broken back."
The Great Rear is also to ho re
mombered as tho pointers for another
reason. It Is the hour hand of the
woodman's clock. It goes onco around
tho north star in about twenty-four
hours, tho rovcrso way of tho hamlH

way as tho miu and for tho samo rea

Dr. Fairfax Irwin of Philadelphia,

"The last tin? I went alter reed
