Show STREET CORNER SAYINGS An Oculist Do you see that man coming com-ing toward usl Look closely at his eyes They look pretty natural you sayl Well that man is as blind as a bat in one eye and in fact he has but one eye The other is made of glass but the good eye is so cleverly imitated no one but an expert can I tell the difference and often they are deceived de-ceived without they make I close examination examina-tion This in indeed a world of counterfeits counter-feits A Main Street Jeweler Four times today to-day have I been asked by ladies for gentle mens wedding rings and I judge from this the practice of exchanging rings is becoming becom-ing popular here In some European countries coun-tries not only does the bride receive a ring but she also gives one and among the AngloFranco mariners In the east the practice is said to be getting get-ting least fashionable The rings are sometimes set with stones with special I significance There seems no reason other than purely sentimental why a ring should not be received as well as given by the bridgroom and i a distinctive I form were adopted ana the ring made to I fit so tightly that it could not be removed without difficulty a falling off in divorce court business might be the result A Bookkeeper There is no question about the feminine antagonism to the feminine typewriter Married men in this city who have the typewriters of the feminine gender in their offices have only succeeded in installing them by virtue of deceit or a vigorous crusade at home Printing ones name in the newspapers in a complimentary connection is the broadest kind of flattery and of the most material sort and I think I shall say without consulting authorities in the case that people do like to see their names in print 1 remember reading an anecdote OConnell used to tell on himself He was just then rising into fame and in passing a shop window where periodicals wore displayed dis-played a picture caught his eye and he stopped to look closer It was the first cut of the Liberator ever printed and the 8i h of it filled him with emotion He frankly said to his companion that since he was a mere child ho would stop to gaze at the pictures of noted men displayed in the windows and that he had dreamed and imagined and prayed for the very emotion ho had just felt Human nature is tho same everywhere but some men wont admit it The office and the club are the only places which a husband frequents from which his wife is most always barred It would be interesting if the exact statistics could be gathered to find ont exactly how many men in this city misrepresent the sex of their typewriters in the homo circle A politician There has been in recent years much talk about political bossism My remedy for bossism in election times is compulsory voting We have got manhood suffrage and Im in favor of going further and making the ballot an obligation as well as a privilege 1 would compel every man to vote or at any rate make it to every mans advantage to do so The neutral voters would then be brought to the front and these are the men who can make corruption in politics impossible impos-sible Now they dont vote because they imagine they will bo outvoted by the professional essional voters If the candidate knew that the men it is impossible to control would vote they would never buy nominations nomina-tions because the slatemakers could never deliver what they sold I am not so old believe but I may live to see this reform carried into effect We noticed not long since nn assertion in one of the daily papers to the effect that thero were no good dress makers in Salt Lake city No statement could be more erroneous for there are thoroughly competent com-petent as well as artistic fitters and trimmers trim-mers in the city more too than can be found in any place of its size in the Union and only just lately has an enterprising merchant engaged an artist from Paris some people have a habit and tis a very bad one of decrying everything that does not come from a distance but did you ever notice tis those who h ve seen the least of the world They are like the blind never having been able to see imagine the world far more beautiful than it is The friends face the poor by unfurnished rooms ore beautiful to the mind of those who have never looked upon the face of nature No class of women try harder to please than do dressmakers dress-makers and they take a pride in turning out excellent work are pleasant and always al-ways accommodating Then let us encourage en-courage those in our midst What do you thing of a paper said a citizen to a HERALD chronicler that abuses such a spleneld system as our city street railroads running in every direction as they do to reach nil stopping at either side of our streets and in the middle of the block to take on or put off passengers Such service can bo found nowhere else if now and then one finds a surly or dig obliging conductor as I did yesterday in car No 21 of the Rapid Transit the om daIs must not be blamed juot report the offender |
