WHEN THE FARM IS SOLD. rOMr Ovmt OwuiUy Cnsonsfsrtabla la HI Xew Qaartars. How difficult it ia for one wao sells his home farm to axaln place himself ta aa food shape as before he sold. He finds that the associations which so srita the farm cannot be replaced. He bad become familiar with every rod of land on his farm, the rocks and tree, the bills and brooks &nd the pathways were his old acquaintances and there was an air of borne and friendship all around.. After he has told all these come before him. He may hare received a large price for his farm, but that does not compen sate for his lose. And when be comes to look around for another farm he finds that he cannot be easily suited. There are plenty of farms for sale, but they hare not the good features of the old farm. Something is lack leg tn all of them. Money can com pensate for some things, but not for alL Mr. Hoxle of Roberta Meadow has found this out. Laat fall he sold his farm there to the water commis sioners at what the commissioners thought waa an exceeslre price. He was obliged to sell, because a part of his farm, being near to the water course, was deemed to be injurious to the purity of the water. Mr. Hoxle has bean looking around for another farm ever since. He finds a number for sale, but there is a lack of home like flavor about them all. They do not 11 the place of the oil farm, where he was born and where he has always lived. And this recalls an other Instance of farm selling. A man had a fine farm In one of the ad- loin leg towns. It just suited him. The and was strong and rich. It was beautifully located on a 6lghtly hill top. The buildings were tot very good, but the land was all right. One day he had a chance to sell. The price waa high that is. It seemed so to him. as It was much more than he had called the farm worth. , After he had sold he began to realize his loss. t dawned upon him that he had parted with something that was adapted to his needs and Incurred a risk in buying another farm.

Soma Farmers think that the place to get bargains is n some store where everything is topsey-turvey that if there is any style or neatness in the store that they hare to pay for the display. We have changed all this. We cater to every class of trade high and low, rich and poor and we not only cater to this trade, but we get it. Our store is where the banker and the poor labor- ng man bump elbows with each other, where the prosperous farmer meets his less fortunate brother. They are all looking for the place that gives the most good goods for the money, and that's our store. We are the cheapest drug- house in the west. We know this because we receive orders from every county in this state. Instead of buying our drugs In small quantities, we buy them in large quantities, large enough to put us on the same basis as the Jobber and by paying cash and getting the benefit of the discount we are able to sell most drugs cheaper than the ordinary druggist can buy them. We have a line of household remedies that are the best In the world and save many doctor bills. We sell our $1 pat ents for 63 and 79 cents, and If you ever buy anything here and it is not as we represent it, your money back. Nothing could be more fair.

The Scilly Islands, lying to the westward of Land's End, are the flower gardens of the British metropolis. There is hardly any other industry on these islands except the raising of flowers for the London mar ket. The Gulf stream "bobs up se renely from below" on the shores of the Scilly s In its last expiring effort and brings to them a faint remem brance of the warmth of the tropic seas from whence It comes, thus mak ing the islands of a mild climate, where flowers bloom in March. The cargo for this special train! oad of flow- era was brought from the Island flower farms In a steamship to Penzance, where the train was in waiting. The flowers were in packages and as each package weighed but a few ounces some Idea of the enormous bulk of the cargo may be gained from the fact that It weighed twenty-seven tons. The flowers were picked In the morn ing and loaded on the ship which got them to Penzance In the early evening.

The Philadelphia North American publishes an interview obtained by Its correspondent with Sir Thomas Llpton, In which the Irish baronet tells the sto ry of his life, origin and business suc cess. This is the story as told In his own words: I was born In 1S51, the year that saw the birth of the America's cup, and my birthplace was Glasgow, Scotland. My father and mother had come there somo years before from the north of Ireland, and my father had started as a dealer In provisions In a small way. I was one of three children, but my brother and sister never reached adult age, dying when quite young. - Up to the age of 14 I attended school, and when I was old enough I helped my father at odd hours. Then I want ed to do something for the family and induced my parents to allow me to leave school and become a messenger for another shopkeeper. I do not know and I cannot conceive of any greater happiness than I experi enced at the end of my first week's work. My hours were long and my work hard for so young a chap, but all that was forgotten when my master handed me $1 as my week's work. I ran with It home and gave it to my mother. I came to America at the age of 18, and I was a steerage passenger. I had a very little money only enough to get me across and then to take me to Charleston, S. C. -There In looking about me for an opportunity for work heard of the rlcefields, and after a time I secured a position with the own er of one of them. I was not a laborer, as has been stat ed, but more of an accountant and later an assistant manager. . I worked hard, and after several years, when nearing my majority, I returned home with money in my pocket sufficient to en gage in the provision business, as my father had done before. Of course, my first venture was in Glasgow where my parents had resid ed, and It was a very small venture, I assure you. I had made up my mind that the one thing necessary to commercial success was to first attract attention and then give satisfaction. I knew that once I had a customer I could keep him by honest dealing, and the problem was therefore to get him. I tried hundreds of schemes. One of these was by placing cleverly drawn cartoons in my windows touching upon popular events of a humorous charac ter. One of these, I recollect now, was a picture representing two men, one very stout and the other very thin. The lean man had a legend, "I am going to Lip- ton's." The stout man was supposed to be ciaylng, "I am just coming from Llpton's." When success began to come, I hit upon another thing. That was buying without the assistance of a middleman, Business increased so that in a few years I was able to open a second place in another part of Glasgow. This was again a small provision shop, and in it I Installed a man. With three shops going successfully and my business reaching out, I turned my eyes to another city of Scotland, and in a half dozen years Lipton shops were beginning to spring up not alone there, but in England as well. The English are tea drinkers, as every one knows, and at that time tea drink ing was prevented from becoming uni versal because of the expense. It was then that Ceylon tea suggest ed Itself to me. I considered that supe rior In many respects to China tea, and I do eo now. But at that time the busi ness was so poorly managed that there was little or none of It In the English markets, and that only of an inferior grade. I studied the subject and came to the conclusion that the best way out of it was for me to acquire tea plantations of my own. I therefore made a voyage to Ceylon to carry out this purpose. I simply bought a ticket to Australia, and when the steamship reached Co lombo I went ashore and forgot to come back. I worked very quietly and before many days had acquired quite an estate In the country. My American interests were acquired for the same reason as the tea planta tionsthe desire to have only one step to the consumer. It was In 1887, as remember, that I saw that I would have to get my own meats. I there fore came to this country and went west. After investigation I determined to go Into the pork packing business in South Omaha, and soon the Lipton pork packing establishment was an assured fact. It could not compare In size with the great establishments of the Swifts, Armours, Hammonds and others, but it employed a number of men and around it grew a very pros perous little community, which now is a city of itself. We went to Chicago because it was seen that the lake city was more of a center for cattle and hogs than Omaha. Slnco then the business has been con ducted there and has enjoyed pros perity. The Alexandra trust, named in honor of her majesty Queen Alexandra, is a successful effort to provide good food for the poor at the least price. Since the opening I believe I can say wa have fed mora than LOCO.OOO peo ple, and they are Increasing every day. I am a man of business for ten hours of the day. This yachting: it my recrea tion. I live at a little place known as Osldge, in Hertfordshire, 12 miles from my offices in City road, London. This is an old place surrounded by a park, gardens and terraces. It la a half villa and half bungalow in short a bache- ors home. , ' There we have golf .links, bowling alleys, billiard tables and amusement of various kinds and, above all, a stable In which there are 18 good horses, most of them American stand ard bred trotters. I have no more axes to grind. I do not want more money or more rank or more anything. COOKE THRILLS THOUSANDS Work of the Boy Preacne nt Ocean Grove. A boy in knickerbockers leading 10,- 000 grown persons In the worship of God, a child's simple eloquence mov ing the hearts of the multitude and leading to their conversion such are the strange scenes being enacted in the great Auditorium at Ocean Grove, says a dispatch to the New Tork. Evening Journal. Claude jianbury Cooke, the 15-year-old boy evangelist usually call ed "Jack,' is the talk of the Jersey coast. ' ' , The Immense Auditorium has been crowded to suffocation on each of the four occasions on which the "Boy Preacher" has appeared. The boy's fame has gone abroad during the past two days, with the result that people are coming to the Grove! from far and near, many even from New York, to hear the inspired words of wisdom that fall so rapidly and so harmoniously. Among the several questions, some ri diculous and some full of wisdom, ask ed the boy touching on Biblical teach ing and spiritual truths the following created no little amusement: "Is It wrong to go to the theater and to dance, and. If so, in what way?" In replying to this question young Cooke said: "Well, in cases of that kind It Is given to a man to use common sense Ipstead of conscience. Laughter and applause. That old scheme of con science has about worked itself out. "He that liveth to please is dead while he liveth. "Ask yourselves, What would Jesus do? Think how many souls have to be aved in the world and ask yourselves again, How would .it look for you, young man, to go dancing around a ballroom with your arm around some young lady's waist?" The rapid and easy manner in which the bdy answered all the numerous questions sent flying at him from every corner of the great Auditorium aston ished evcrybvly. The I white haired and baldheaded dominies, on the, plat form were enraptured and amazed, some of them being confounded by the answers to their own questions. WARFARE UNDER WATER SPAIN'S FUTURE BRIGHT. Traveler In That Country See Evi dence of Prosxresa. Henry W. Raymond, a Chicago man ufacturer now in Washington, says a dispatch to the Philadelphia Times, speaks In high terms of the enterprise which he observed in many parts of Spain, where he made an extensive tour on matters of business. He says It is a great fallacy to believe the nation dead or even decadent. Madrid, Seville, Barcelona and other large cities he found thoroughly up to date. He says the country is rich in material and agricultural resources, and the people, shorn of colonial burdens, are beginning to develop internal sources of wealth, responding to the summons of the twentieth century activity. 'Spaniards struck me," said Mr. Ray mond, "as being most .virile as a people. They inherit noble traditions of art and literature, which beget healthy Intel lectual conditions. A. fresh Impetus actuates them in business as well as in drama, art and fiction. They are proud of Valdes and other living novelists and point to Emilia Pardo Bazon as one of the greatest writers of contem porary fiction." Arehalo London.

View3 of Admiral Melville on Torpedo Boats. BULL IX EXPERIHEBTAL STAGE. Belle-re Ko BSlelent Submarine, Flarhtlng; BXaehine Tat Secured In HI Opinion Frsnee Has Had Ito Substantial Frogreas-Saya Reports of Outave Zede Exarerated. The recent startling reports as to the performances of submarine boats at the French maneuvers have increased the agitation at home and abroad of the question of the utility of these ves sels for naval purposes. Rear Admiral Melville, who has made a special study of the usefulness and efficiency of the submarine type, gave to the New York Tribune's Washington correspondent a review of the progress and the small practical success that have bea.1 so fat secured. It Is In France that enthusiasm and public Interest mostf abound. By reason of the great desire of the French ad miralty to put their naval service on an equality with that of Great Britain and possibly by reason of their finan cial Inability to construct as many armored cruisers and battleships as England the French are hoping that they can develop the submarine In ad vance of other nations. In Admiral Melville's opinion, they have as yet made no substantial progress. At the recent maneuvers of the French navy an effort was made by the admiralty to approximate as to the value of sub marine boats for naval purposes. The officiul reports have not yet been made public. One artistic story, however. that would fittingly garnish one of Jules Verne's romances and which was cabled to this country some time ago as to the unqualified success of the ex periment has been proved to be more sensational than real. It Is now learned that Instead of steaming alone from Toulon to AJacclo the Gustave Zede was accompanied by a steamer which was there to tow tne submarine. Very little stock in the success of that evolution is taken by naval experts since It Is well known that the whole design of the boat has been condemned by the French ad miralty, and it has even been officially announced that no more boats of her character will be built There Is noth ing in the evolution to impress one with the fact that anything unusual had been done. To say that this feat will do anything to convince skeptics that the submarine boat has been de veloped to a point beyond the experi mental stage would require a vivid Imagination. Considerable credit Is due to the commander of the Zede, for recent experience in France with sub marines shows that the crew of the boat suffer greatly In every dive of any duration. About two years ago the French advocates of submarine boats contended that the Narval an swered all the requirements that could possibly be demanded of this type of craft. When the minister of marine subjected this boat to an official test, It required 20 minutes to submerge her. In that period the craft could be de stroyed by any' vessel having a ma chine gun, and therefore success was looked for elsewhere. She could even be run. down by a torpedo boat destroy er or any rapidly moving boat. The Morse was then accepted aa the proper type for the French service to adopt. Official tests and experiments showed that she possessed little more merit than the Narval and that radical improvements would hare to be made In her before an efficient submarine boat could be secured that would meet even part of the requirements demand ed by the admiralty. The Farfadet Is the very latest de sign the French have produced, and, although the admiralty have been ex perimenting for months with her, there is no evidence that this craft Is any more efficient than her predecessor. The French admiralty therefore has a well defined policy in Its attempt to secure a submarine boat. The design Is still regarded as being In an expert mental stage. The officials are not wedded to the belief that any inventor has yet secured an efficient fighting machine. It is recognized that ultimate success can best be secured by pro gression. We can safely follow such a wise and sensible course. The field should be kept open to every designer and Inventor who has given thought to the question and who is ready to put his study to practical use by building a craft and subjecting it to govern ment tests. The securing of an efficient subma rine boat therefore seems somewhat remote. If Edison's storage battery proves the success Its Inventor hopes It will be, then progressive advance ment can be expected. As the range of action is very small with the present type of electric motor and storage bat teries. the usefulness of the craft Is naturally limited.. Fortunately for this country ur na val and military experts are more In terested in finding a submarine boat that can be useful In mining and coun termining harbors. In work of this character the lake submarine "boat has been a commercial success, and experts believe that it is equally adaptable for naval and military purposes. The Indifference of Russia, Germany and Great Britain and the failure of France to secure practical success with the cruising submarine boat conclu slvely prove that this type of craft is still in the experimental stage. The American policy of first developing the submarine boat for mining and coun termining purposes is In the line ' o: utility, conservatism and sound mill tary principles. AN "ETERNITY" WIFE. Inoldnt In Oavsaas at Brlarham Tonnar Vasnama Wll. According to llarxnen theology, says a Salt Lake City dispatch to the New York Herald. Mrs. Zlna Young, who has just died there, will go to the celestial kingdom not to meet Brigham Young, but to be ths wife throughout eternity of Joseph Smith, prophet of ths church. ; Romantic devotion to Joseph Smith and the doctrines be taught marked the career of this Mrs. Young. Bhe waB born In Watertown, N, Y in 1821, and it was there at the age of 15 that she became a convert of one of the tinerant elders whom Joseph Smith sent out from his headquarters at Klrt land, O. v She was "seized with the spirit of gathering" and went to Kirtland. Her devotion to her religion was so great that she was intrusted with a part in the mysteries of the temple. While there she told of a vision in which she had seen an angel and been invested with the "gift of tongues and interpre tation," the power to speak la language used only by the chosen ones of God and to understand this strange speech. She married one of Smith's converts, and two children were born to them. She deserted them at Nauvoo, Illa, when Joseph Smith had a "revelation" that she had been set aside tor him as wife for "time and eternity. She was sealed to the prophet as a plural wife and was his favorite until he was killed by a mob in Illinois. As she bad borne no children to Joseph Smith and as Mormon theology would give her an unwelcome place in the world here after unless one at least were born, Brigham Young, who then had several wives, had a "revelation" that she should be sealed to him for "time," her children to be the children of Joseph In the world to come. She followed Brigham Young In the eventful journey from Illinois to the Salt lake valley in the late forties. She trudged behind wagons, slept In tents, cooked for the travelers and bore many hardships, entering the "New' ZIon" with the first settlers. In the days of hardships attendant upon the settle ment there she organized the first of the relief societies of the church. It was largely through her influence that the relief Societies were extended to every small settlement of the Mormon people. She was the president of the great organization until her death. Mrs. Young had several children aft er this third marriage. After the death of Brigham Young she lived In Salt Lake City. She was always an earnest advocate of polygamy, sometimes open ly advising Mormon women that their only hope of the highest salvation lay in "celestial marriage. TEACHING PORTO RICANS. Triumph For American Kducatlonal Method on tha Island. A dispatch from Schenectady to the New York Sun says a letter has been received there from M. G. Brumbaugh, commissioner of Porto Rico, In which he says: "At present we are too busy building schoolhouse8 to think. For illustration, we planned a summer normal school for this city for ten Weeks, beginning July 14. We thought we might have 200 students from among the teachers of the island. To our amazement, when the school opened we had over 800 pu pils, and it took the telegraph service a whole day and night to bring In here a faculty to take charge of these pupils the next morning, but we did it, and the school Is a great success. "It has been the largest triumph for American educational methods that the island has yet witnessed, and as an lmj mediate outgrowth we are now laying the foundation for a large Insular nor mal school building in the suburban city of Rio Piedras, seven miles by railroad from this city. We have 70 acres of first class ground, beautifully situated, and we are erecting a school building thereon at a cost of $35,000, and we' will open school on the 1st of November." tt 4 tf S S iS 0 ECHO CANON, i UTAH., J afi fC aC aS tjt tat sw J w .

A graceful 35 foot yawl with auxil lary screw, which made Its first ap pearance on the sound this summer, has been flying a private signal that has attracted attention at every new port, says the New York Sun. The flag Is yellow and aa it fluttered In the breeze the figure on It looked like a compromise between a dragon and an eagle with outstretched claws that might belong to a lobster. The design proved to be the crest of the owner's wife's family. Some of his boat own' lng friends are now busily engaged in searching for family crests, and the output of crested flags for private slg nals next year will probably be large. Hawaiian jDylnaT Out. Dr. David Starr Jordan in an address before the American Association For the Advancement of Science on condi tlons In the Hawaiian Islands took a fall out Of the linguists and geographers who Insist upon ' calling Puerto Rico Porto Rico, says a Denver dispatch to the New York Sun. '"There are no such words as Porto Rico in this or any other language," said the doctor. He closed by saying: "The time Is coming when the native Hawallans will en tirely disappear, and this time is not far off. No children are being born. and disease is killing off the present generation Found a $20,000 Fat afl Gold. , A pot of gold containing an amount of the yellow metal worth something over $20,000 was found in a remote precinct of Madison county by Frank Jacks, a poor farmer, says a Huntsville (Ala.) dispatch to the Memphis Com merclal Appeal.
