Of course, the fact of the in cuts, shape these purple robes, have adorned each special edition of the paper for these many years, discounted somewhat, the local pride which our patriotic citizens had a right to feel. However, the effort was accepted with many thanks, and Bill is entitled to whatever credit an easily satisfied public chooses to give him. In connection with Christmas, let me say that a discriminating Providence willed it that there should be no enow or ice this year. Fate can always be relied on, In the end, to do the right thing.

Hurrah for . ff -- Bill! wind that does not blow some one off the Christmas tree. And so it happened that after all a part of the Mammoth Western Union plant was removed to Salt Lake. But the fact has been greatly magnified. Ogden should take comfort, and at the same time rejoice that her overgrown sister, city is no longer sidetracked on a single wire connecting her with Ogden. Charity is the thing. While a few of the many operators have removed from Ogden, left us give them to Salt Lake not grudgingly, but Joyously, knowing that Ogden can spare them without tears, and knowing what rapture their removal to the city by the lake is caused in the hearts and homes of Zion.

In this arrangement, he has a in the shape precedent of pro tern. Jones of contingent fund fame. Jones sells the cut rate In Salt Lake during the day light and hibernates In Ogden. Col. Allison finds this precedent good in law and Just in equity. So long as he t an hold his Job as junior Senator in Ogden, Just so long will his Job last, and that means he will take a crack at the next United States Senator. It is not known Just what induced him to take this course, but it is shrewdly guessed that his decision to stand pit' was arrived at after a talk with George Sutherland.

A commission of Methodists is this minute sitting in the city of New York revising the hymn book. Several of the old sacred songs have been doomed to elimination already and more are to follow.
