From Our
Neighbors
Taylor.
J. J. Shumway is off the stage
a few days this week.
Miss Laura Hancock, of Wood
ruff, is here visiting with Mrs.
Aired.
We understand there is only
two more weeks of school for
this term.
Our district school was not
running last week on acconnt of
the teachers being at Winslow
attending the institute.
Sunday we were visited by
the gentle Arizona zephers,
which filled the eyes of everyone
with dust who happened to be
out of the house.
Friday morning the infant son
of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Tenney
died at Pinedale. They brought
the child here for burial Satur
day. Everybody feels to sym
pathise with the bereaved par
ents in this their hour of trouble.
Mr. and Mrs. Tenney returned
to their home Sundav.
Shumway.
So much wind seems to make
times dull and life weary.
Jens Hansen was down from
Woodland Tuesday, milling.
J. J. Shumway and family, of
Taylor, spent Tuesday here,
visiting kindred.
J. M. Parker has moved his
family down from Adair and ex
pects to live here until he can
find a better place.
J. P. Jensen and Clarence
Shumway made a trip to Hol
brook this week after grain for
the Silver Creek mills.
The Utah Mormons reported
"in 1900 a membership of 211,
027 families, against 130,467
families in 1890. The reorgan
ized church of anti-polygamous
Mormons reported a mcmbtr
6hip of 114,852 in 1890, and
300,000 in 1900. These figures
show that there is a large per
centage of increase in the anti
polygamous Mormon church
than in the other.
What people despise most ir
others is what they usually have
the most of themselves.
The reason why so many peo
pie are unhappy is because they
are more anxious to make othen
envious than please themselves.
A man or a woman whi
maliciously talks about anothei
secretly and behind his back it
always a coward and generalh
a liar. Be a man. If you know
anything discreditable aboul
another, either keep it to youi
elf or come out and tell what
ypu want to, but don't be a
thief in the dark and try to rot
'any man or woman of their
reputation.
A VALUABLE RELIC "1
Thoaght to D Drawing; by a no
man Soldier of tbu Cr
clllslon. t.
"Controlling pny examination," said
Big. Murtiucbi, "1 came some time since
upon a little drawing, 15x8 inches. It
was on the wall of a room in the sol
diers' quarters in the house of Tiber
ius," says Ainsloe's Mugn.ine.
"The .'incs in it were utmost complete
ly obliterated. Nevertheless, by t be aid
of powerful glasses, 1 thought I dis
cerned a pictorial reproduction of soma
striking event. There seemed to be
two crosses with ladders leaning;
against them. On one of these a sol
dier was mounting, carrying something
like a tablet. Above th transverse bar
it' this sumc cross wus another soldier
with a hammer. Beneath wns a figure
dragging another toward the cross.
Yet another figure was raising u ladder
to the second cross, and on u third lad
der a MIUU-r was mounting. Two rox'n
lung from the cross beams which unite
the crosses. Names are written near
the fipures. One is I'ilntus or I'iletus
written l'lletus). High above tbe
drawing is a word resembling Crestus,
sod near it is a hammer, which, as is
known, w'us the emblem of the cruci
fixion. "All the circumstances brought me to
imagine for a moment that 1 might be
in the prvxence of a picture of the cruci
fix km of our Savior, and possibly even
drawn by soldier who bad assisted
at the event. Many others were of the
same opinion, though there were com
petent authorities who read in it a
different signification. They suggest
ed, for Instance, the launching of a
hip, or the representation of on aero
btitic performance. One thing is now
rlenr. the large inscription over the
drawing ran be no part of the idea
therein represented. It is the work oX
many bands, written at various periods.
and composed almost exclusively ot
libertine expressions."
AN OLD FRAUD.
w ! Prettr Stenographer Wcsl
Oat to Lnarh and Pooled
the Dors.
The framing of half the criticism in
tbe world is dependent upon the way
no looks upon things, sstys the New
York Commercial Advertiser. "There!"
txclnimed the cynic, in triumph, point
ing across the restaurant with a lean
finger, "1 told you the old man's piety
wns fraudulent. Just look at him
bringing his stenographer here to
lunch!" The stenographer part of tha
ehargr whs true and, to make it more
dreadful, she wns provokingly pretty.
"Tbe old mnn" u merchant of year
and repute looked (oh, sorrow, to
tell it!) quite unashamed. He threw
aside the bill of fare, gave u hurried
order t the waiter and a Bod to the
fair stenographer.
The latter promptly produced a book
and began taking notes nt his dicta
tion. The cynic fairly hugged himrclf.
"Oh." he whispered, "what a bluff!
Pretending he's bringing her here to
work. Hoys, Isn't it side-splitting?"
The "boys" agreed that it was. The
elderly merchant dictated swiftly and
the pretty stenographer's pencil flew
over the paper.
In 13 minute the waiter appeared
bearing dainty dishes and the elderly
merchant dismissed the pretty sten
ographer and proceeded to enjoy his
luncheon, leisurely, and alone. "Th
beast!" sighed the cynic softly, "to
tend as sweet a maid nu that away hun
gry." And the boys agreed to ttint,
too.

fessors nnd assistant professors who

lish a general system of retiring allowances.
Strange Bed Warmers.
Strange bed-wnrmers are used by

in bed, they keep their feet warm by1
placing them on a dog.
