the first half hour of my search not a bachelor came within range of my eagle optics when as I turned the corner cor-ner of South Temple and Main streets a smothered groan fell on my hearing and turning I beheld Troubles sometimes some-times called A E Nichols seated on a diminutive grave stone and kicking because be-cause he could not scale up the polished sides of a fitteenfoot monument which stood close by His head was buried in his hands and from between his fingures great beads of perspiration oozed and fell while with chattering teeth he sobbed 1 For forty long years Ive striven

toast his shins before the pen grate He occupies a suite of rooms In tim Wasatch block and as one enters the door he is struck by the gorgeous array of reds with which the apartment is furnished Arranged in the most conspicuous place in the room is a fine collection of photographsthirty oue in number and all of himself Although Al-though a Sri he is not conc ited he merely thinks that H B Windsor is a mighty fine fellow Following where fancy led me I sauntered saun-tered into the Cullen office From thence I toiled up a dark flight of stairs to a room over Joalm Parks which is the abode of the greatest synic in Salt Lake To his t come I walked into a room where it was plain to be seen the hand of woman has left no dainty reminders W G VanHornfor he it was was lying in bed wrapped up In what he is pleased to call neuralgia of the heart As I entered he was writing but as his eyes met mine he quickly hid the paper under the pillow When he was busy 1 managed to withdraw the papal which I contained a bitter stain on woman He I is a confirmed bachelor and nothing will i ever change his views his verses showed i that much Pasting the scraps of paper I against my heart I wended my way down i the stairs and was once more searching for victims Dropping in the Manitou I met Nat Brigham and his cousin Perrya little lad of thirtyfive winters coming from dinner Nat was scolding

spent in mending and darning But ou Club night whern Jim gets home in the curtailed cur-tailed hours Harvey lies awake and scolds just to make things seem natural In fact they are sufficient unto themselves |
