BRIGHAM 8 YOUNG, Eprror. JUNE 14, 1907.

Convention And Con- ference.

On every hand during the time our visitors were among us and since has been heard the expres- sion that Sunday School Conven- tions should be held annually, as the interchange of ideas is inval- uable in Sunday School work,

One of the most lasting bene- fits from the convention and con- ference will be in the closer in- timacy between the Alberta and Taylor Stakes. The advantages of the Convention will be appar- ent in the improved methods which will be adopted in the re- ligious education ofthe Sunday School chilaren, and those of the Conference in the closer union which will beestablished between our people in this part of the do- minion.

Raymond has only words of praise for the contributions of the Alberta Stake to the Conven- tion, and we sayin heartiness and sincerity we hope the time may be soon when we can again enjoy so great a treat as our vi- sitors gave us.

The Stake Sunday School Board desires toreturn its very sincere thanksto the people of Raymond who so hospitably en- tertained our convention and conference visitors.

Such sweet and generous court- esy gives us to understand some thing of the scripture “that it is more blessed to give than to re- ceive.”

“Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right, and part with him when lie goes wrong.” Abraham Lincoln.

A CHRONICLE subscriber from Tabor sent usa dollar bill enclos- ed in a type written letter byt neg- lected to sign his name. In the same letter he says he is enclos- ing a P. O. order for he is owing this Co. but there is no enclosure ofthat kind. Ifthis notice catch- es bis eye and he will forward his name we will senda receipt.

E. S. Martin

It will be with genuine regret that the public will receive the announcement that Raymond is to lose the present manager of the Bank of Montreal, Mr. E. S. Martin who goes to the more improtant station of Medicine Hat.

Mr. Martin has been a Ray- mond resident for two years in which time he has grown to bean important factor of our town per- sonnel.He has entered into every move that meant progress or town betterment. He has been prominent in the support of ath- thletics, he has taken a deep in- terest in agricultural pursuits having purchased a farm here and gone in for beet culture.

His confidence in the excel- lence of the soil and the future of the district has been abundant- ly proven by his investments and the statement that his holdings are ‘‘not forsale."’ While amung us Mr. Martin has been an ideal citizen and while we cannot al- ways keep with us all of the good people we know we can heartily commend them to new associates and express our regret at their departure.

We hope the selection of Mr. John Q Cannon as the appointee from this district to lecture on irrigation through the Province

will be decided upon as the gen- tleman is amply equipped and and will in every way meet the expectations of the appointors and the public.

Here are some safe homely remedies.

For a sore throat pour a little eucalyptus oil on a piece of flan- nel, tie around the throat, and keep on as long as possible.

Soft corns should be touched with turpentine every night for a fortnight, and the corn will come entirely out; but don’t let the turpentine run on to the ad- joining skin, or it will make it sore.

Cramp is generally caused by a disordered liver. For quick re- lief from the pain, the feet should be plunged in hot water, and then briskly rubbed witha towel. If hot water cannot be quickly got, rub well with a liniment or embrocation.

If in hammering ina nail you hit your finger or thumb, hold the injured member in water as hot as you can bear for a few min- utes. This draws out the infla- mation, and relieves the pain in a wondorful way.

To treat a sprain bathe in as hot wateras can be borne for fifteen or twenty minutes renew

ing as it cools. Then wring a piece of flannel out of boiling water, bind round the sprained part, cover with a piece of oiled silk, and renew when it gets cool.

fancy ag@ Oimemy. Instinctively he knew the truth.

“Poor little girl,” he mused. “Lonely, struggling, with nothing to feed her love of companionship and romance upon but the sense of fellowship with the unseen occupant of the next room. It is well that she hasn't seen this ugly mug of mine,” he concluded grimly.

So he fell into the way of stopping

to inquire about her of the nurse each morning and then of sending great bunches of violets, upon which the sick girl's half conscious eyes rested later on with dreamy pleasure.

“Who picked them?’ were her first intelligent words when the fever left her and she became herself. Then, realizing where she was and what hed happened, she laughed weakly and cor- rected herself, “Who sent them, I mean?”

At the reply a faint color crept inte her cheeks, and she murmured some thing the nurse did not catch,

Then came the days when she sat up, feeling like a new creature come to a new world, though fn appearance she was more than ever like a frail ebild,

“Come in, I think she would like to thank you,” said the nurse when one day the man stopped to make his usu- al inquiry, and a moment later he was standing before little Miss Mouse, his heart thumping at the gaze of two dark fringed eyes that reminded him of violets.

She stammered out her thanks, scarcely knowing what she sald, so great was her astonishment, for, in fact, the Knight In Spain, whose face she thought she knew as well as her own, was dark and most uncompro- misingly ugly. Besides, he was old— forty if he was a day—and—and—

In another moment her surprise was forgotten. A big, strong hand was holding hers, and the voice that she liked so much was speaking. There was a vibrant tenderness in it that she had never noticed before—that seemed personal, that st™yested, outlandish as the idea was, that to her of all the wo- men in the world would he ever speak in just that tone.

. . . . ° J *

It was on their honeymoon that, longing to hear over and over again the beautiful truth, he questioned:

“You're sure you don’t regret marry- ing an ugly brute like me?”

She laughed softly, laying her cheek against his, but she did not speak. With quick pain he pulled the face

down where he could look into the | depths of those dark fringed eyes. His |

lips touched ber hair, and he mur- mured brokenly, “Ob, little Miss Mouse!”

The Dangers of Orchid Hunting,

The most beautiful region the orchid -

collector meets in his travels is along the Orinoco, the Rio Negro and the Amazon, in South America, The scen- ery at times passes beyond the beautl-

ful and becomes so grand as to be al- | Everything is on such a |

most terrible. great scale. The rivers are the largest in the world, veritable seas at high water, the vegetation luxuriant beyond comparison and the animal and fish life startlingly strange. There we find the Cattleya schroederoe,a magnificent orchid with white flowers, which blooms about Easter time. But the dangers and vexations of a trip on the Orinoco, for instance, would hardly be believed. Miles and miles back from the coast in the district where the orchids are found the Indians are in a wild state and are foes to all white men. They lurk in the bushes along

the banks of the river and shoot pol- |

soned arrows at you if you happen to

venture within range of their blow |

guns, The center of the stream is the only safe place. During the rainy sea- son the mosquitoes swarm on the Ori- noco in clouds, and sleep is next to im- possible. Even the grass when you venture ashore is your enemy.—Har per’s Weekly.

The Spoiled Children of the World.

Burmese children are the spceiled chil- dren of the world, according to V. ©. Scott O'Connor. In his book, “The Silken East,” he says that they are never punished by thelr parents, whe universally adore them, They grow up in the open alr with all the grace of young, unchecked life. “The sheer joy of life abides in them,” says he, “and they seem to live perpetually at play

in the village street, where they play | a came of ninepins with the great seads |

of a jungle creeper; where they screain out their lessons with lusty de light; in the river, in which they splasb and plunge before they can walk; at | the play, where they craw! about among the feet of the prima donna and the posing kings, and at the pagoda,

in the monastery,

where they hold flowers before them |

with faces screwed up to gravity, with laughter pent up behind it, And if there be any dispute about the good looks of their elders there can be none as to the prettiness of Burmese children,”

Creatures of the Unfathomed Deep Such fierce carnivorous fishes as ex-

| ist in the depths of the ocean are un-

known at the surface.
