When Waking Up.
Ilcre is a bit of Information it will

Happy Cither Way.
The old Duke of Norfolk, who was a
very shabby dresser, met n privileged
friend In Bond street, LoriVn. Said
the privileged friend, a mi.iry man
of the premier duke's own age: "Why,
duke, what's come to your clothes?
You look ns If you had raked over
your rag bag to find them!" The duke
replied, with n shrug: "What does It
matter what I wear here? No one
knows me!" A few months later the
same friend, himself always a well
dressed man. met the duke again, pot
tering about In the neighborhood of
Arundel, 'the delightful Sus -ex village
under a hl'l crowned by the castle
from whose name the eldest son of a
Duke of Norfolk always takes his
"courtesy" title Earl of Arundel.
"Why, duke." said his friend again,
"what's the matter with your clothes?"
The duke shrugged his shoulders
again. "What doe it matter whnt I
wear here? Every one knows me!"

In an article on the lotteries the T.er
Hner Tageblatt says there are three
ways by which wealth Is inquired by
work, which is long and tedious; by
dishonesty, which is a precarious pro
ceeding, and by gambling. The cum
ber of persons who prefer the last
named method, says the writer, is
large In the German realm, for there
the great lotteries thrive best. There
are seven of these under the manage
ment of the government, and they dis
tribute $100,000,000 In pri;:es. The anx
iety to secure n part of this amount
has destroyed the happiness of thou
sands of households and has diverted
thousands of good men from honest
industry and thrift to Idleness and
poverty. In the seven lotteries there
are about 22.000 winners a year, but
of these only about 050 receive prizes
of more than 1,000 marks each.

"Tell me," said the lovesick youth,

Mormon Consistency
There is much talk among; the
Mormons about polygamy being
dead in Utah but it is not. Now
comes Joseph F. Smith, president
of the Mormon church, and gets
fined $300 for unlawful cohabita
tion. He married the woman in
question in 1894, four years after
the famous anti-polygany mani
festo had gone into effect. Be
sides it is an acknowleged fact
among the Mormnos that there
is not a day goes by when some
woman is not married to some
benedict for the celestial world,
or for eternity, as they express
it in Utah. This means that, so
far as the outside world is con
cerned, the union is for the next
world, but the ceremonies are
performed inside the temple walls
and no gentiles or unbeliever is
ever permitted to gaze therein,
so who knows what they mean to
bishops and apostles? Expe-'
rience of the past has taught those
who reside in Utah, that these
marriages are for time as well as
eternity and the investigations
connected with the Smoot case in
Washington have thrown much
light on the subject of recent
plural marriages. They seem,
however, to be confined to the
chief moguls of the church, and
when Mormons run the machin
ery of the state, outside of Salt
Lake City, and in many counties
in Idaho, Arizona and New Mex
ico, what is to be done except
place the whole matter in the
