I mean that the man who is compelled to toil the most of his waking hours merely for the means of subsistence cannot live a high human life. He has no leisure for thought, no time to cultivate his mind, little time to cultivate the affectionate side of his nature, little time to question as to whether he has a soul, little time to think the kind of life he should lead as a spiritual being, a son of God. i I This grinding, continuous toil means barbarism, a hard, squalid, hopeless kind of barbarism; and this is why I have always been in favor of shortening the hours of labor just as far and just as fast as it could practically be brought about. And much more can be done in this direction than has already been accomplished. Rev. M. J. Savage. E. N.

Mr. Jenkins has built up an enormous business here in pianos and organs, and for years has been easily the leader In that line of business, not only in this city, but in the intermountain country. He is one of the city's most progressive and public-spirite- d business men, and by his departure, which is due entirely to and the necessity of seeking a warmer climate and lower altitude, the city will sustain a distinct loss. The change of location will also cause Mr. Jenkins heavy financial ill-hea- lth loss, but the state of his health and that of Mrs. Jenkins is such that the cnangu is imperative. Less than a year ago he went to great expense in fitting up a new store, which was one of the largos t and most elegant of its kind Jn the West.

Just why this outpouring of the multitude is something puzzling. The Devils Auction" is a literary desert without even a mental mirage to ease the brain or paint the mind with cheap deception. Verbal sound and dialogue devoid of verdure stretch out in a wilderness of empty words, while the eyes revel in a garden anatomically rich in female shapeliness. Scenically, "The Devils Auction" is bewildering. Its glittering pageantry has swallowed more than a fortune. Caught in the vaporous meshes of its airy plot of nothingness are cloudbursts of beautiful scenic effects which actually distress the eyes with gorgeous expenditure. Mr. Yale believes in the potency of skirtless femininity. Everywhere this restless female army is seen marching in a rainbow agitation of variegated tights.

She seemed to realize that while she was among friends, yet they were friends in the truest sense friends critical to a degree-re- ady to magnify faults and eager to recognize merit in a genuine sympathy for her professional advancement.
