Has he forgiven our youth?" It was a bright May day and the falling apple blossoms clustered in Maude's hair, making a pretty picture, as she sat there smiling.

Colag North Romantic Story of Utah. The migration of the first Mormons across the broad, unknown waste that lay between the Missouri river and the valley of the Great Salt lake was an undertaking of extraordinary dar ing, an expedition second perhaps in its Interest in American history only to the coming of the pilgrim fathers. Just as the pilgrims launched their ships upon a terrible? and unknown sea, these first pioneers of the West ventured Into a vast, strange land about which they knew little aside from the knowledge of the constant presence of a hundred perils. The people of Utah were the first to establish themselves In the West. Oregon In 1847 was disputed ground. California belonged to Mexico, and the " the first American pioneers of that state, did not traverse the prairie until two years later, and after Utah waa a settlement with sev eral thousand people. So that Utah was then the very broad land. It was there that the West took rooU The leaders of the Mormons had de cided upon the far diatant West as the future home of their people. They had no more definite plan than that. They bad read of the valley of the Great Salt lake In the reports of General John C. Fremont, the "patnnnaer. mho had seen the region In 1843. They had heard, too, of Oregon; and they had considered Vancouver Island. But not until the expedition was well on Its way was the exact destination definitely determlnoij.

Allen, stated positively, that the patent office will not, undes. conditions, issue patents on fny "perpetual motion" machines and that no patents for such machine hve ;been issued by the office for the pas, forty years. This statement of tfoe commissioner was made in response to n inquiry regarding the alleged issua e of a patent for a perpetual motion to a man in South Carolino. This man claimed to have received a patent for his machine, and long articles praising him and the machine have appeared in several of the leading Southern papers. It waa a clipping from one of these papers, which contained, among other things, an alleged statement of the patent office officials regarding the utility and practical merit of the machine, which brought furta such an unqualified denial from Commissioner Allen. - The clipping was brought to the commissioner with a request for a statement as to its truth. Mr. Allen did not hesitate to pronounce the statenu-ufalse. It has never come from the patent office, he said. "The article to whom you call ray attention," said Commissioner Allen, "published in a daily paper of Columbia, S. C, and entitled 'Perpetual Motion Machine Patented. First Patent in Forty Years. The Inventor a Sumter Architect. Mr. D. G. Zeigler Gene-rate- s Power for Effective Work,' Is absolutely false where it says, in respect to this Intention: 'It it the first perpetual motion invention that the United States government has allowed a patent for in forty years." because the pateut office Is not allowing patents to issue upon perpetual motion machines at tne present time. "A long description appears in this article, preceded by the words: "Tin United States patent office has the following to say about the machine.' and at the end of it "This Indorsement by the patent bureau shows that Mr. Zeigler ha,s hit upon a practical machine Mr. Zeigler took his mac hine to Washington and Illustrated it. putting it t practical test, and the commissioners were so well pleased with it that they told him that his application would be filed and allowed. "These statements are so utterly false In their application that tbe patent office would do anything so foolish that e It is difficult to conceive for what this article was written, unless it was prepared to cast discredit upon the operations of the Uniterd States pateat office, or else to induce ignorant people to embark their money in a fraudulent enterprise. "It is enough to say that tbe United States patent office does not intend to assist in any schemes of such nature."
