had better sense in guiding their flocks tempo raley and had less spiritualism pomatum urn uin and kid gloves there would be many better wo women and men if you could see what a sinkhole of iniquity san francisco is you would never hever leave the valley the writer of the foregoing is evidently posted somewhat in regard to imor mormonism mo nisin and he would be justified in taking bets to any
