UTAH. The duties of a student body secretary do not differ to any extent from the duties of the secretary of any society or organization. Following Fol-lowing Is as nearly as I can tell you tier the duties of a secretary: The secretary is the recording officer of the assembly and the eus Wian of its records, exeept such as are specifically spe-cifically assigned to others, as the treasurer's books. In addition to keeping the records of the society and the minutes of the meetings, i' is the duty of the secretary to keep a register or roll of its members and to call the rol when required; to notify officers, eommitteet SWEETHEART. Mink Creek, Ma. An Indian legend of how the Water or Pond Lily become known and named, appeared ap-peared in your paper a few weeks ago. I will -sprint it here for you : The Indians believed that the stars were the tomes of those who had walked across the tarry Bridge of Souls, and one night they aw a star leave the sky and come half way oward the earth. That night a young brave . rcamrd that the star came and told him to k his wise men what shape she might tako nat she could dwell with the red people, whom he lo"H, forever.

Co she again set forth a find a resting place, and as she floated over a great, blue lake, she saw her shadow in tho water, and sank down to rest on its cool bosom. The next morning the lake was covered with srreat, white, shining flowers, with golden hearts. The Indians said the White Star had called her sisters to live among thmi. They called them 'Wahbegwannee, the White Star Flowers." The following is an Interesting little history of the Forget-me-not: It Is related that a young couple, on the evo of their marriage, were walking along the banks of a river snd saw a elust-r of Forget-'le-nnt floating on the stream. The bride-to-be admired the beauty of the flower and lamented ti destiny. The lover plunged Into the water o rescue It but having caught it, found himjelf sinking. He made a final effort and hrew it at the feet of his b-trothed, es-'aiming es-'aiming as he did so, "fnrg-t-me-not P Sines thst event this flower has been made emblematical emblemat-ical of the sentiment fnrgt-me-not How would the "White Star Swarm" be for a name, emblematic of purity, and the Pond x Lily as the symbol.
