Show 1 THE NEW DIRECTORY. i Mr. Polk has been busy snatching names again, and Volume XII (1903) of that classic edition, edi-tion, the Salt Lake Directory, is now extant. The book is charged with thrilling incidents and literary lit-erary gems of wonderful euphony. We may state that we got our directory franked and free, as all great metropolitan journals do, and in return give a superb notice which it deserves and in doing which we take unto ourselves cartloads of felicitation. felici-tation. Following a time-distinguished custom so old that it is bald, furrowed and ilat-wheeled, we volubly announce that there are 448 Smiths in the I present edition of this absorbing work of Action, H the Smyths back in six strong and the Schmidts m are to the front with an array of eight. If any- W one doesn't believe this, he is respectfully re- iD ferred to the directory in this office, if he hasn't B the price of one, which as we remember is pesos B 5. The Browns are as numerically strong as a 300 B horsepower hydraulic press and the Greens, B Whites and Blacks bloom out with their usual ;B multitudinous productiveness. That is about all, S except that to the deserving few who have been B' unintentionally overlooked in this glowing artl- B cle, we are sincerely apologetic. It might be B added, however, that there is only one S. K. Hooper mentioned, as toe other railroader was M absent on a fishing trip when Mr. Polk's sleuths m were out name grabbing. Only one Jinks Hoodoo I is referred to a certain Charles Cottrell, Jr. The W Kearns nomenclature scintillates mightily in the m volume, and is the only cognomen adorned by the euphoneous prefix of Honorable. 1 The book is one of the best Mr. Cooper has pro- 4 duced and should bo in every well regulated and I other kind of oince. |
