Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH, UTAH r f Road Mars Beauty of Famous Mont St. Miche OUR COMIC SECTION Modern vagabondism has its goof as well as bad points. It was to facilitate access to Mont St. Michel on the Normandy coast, that the high concrete dike, running from Pontorson for a mile and a half, was built. Instead of the galloping horses which used to drive pilgrims and tourists to the famous abbey at low tide along a natural sand bank, one now sees endless rows of cars running side by side with a small train. It is much more convenient, as one can go or leave the place at any hour. However, that high wall has had a disastrous effect on the beauty of the site. The sands gradually rose about the cost, soon spending above the water mark, and the thrifty sheep herders, realizing the quality of the short salty grass that grew there, led their animals farther and farther away. The coast is continually altering and ruining the isolation of that strange rocky island on which the old gothic abbey is built. It has finally been decided to cut off the dike at the most favorable spot and build a bridge over the gap. Then the sea is expected to draw the sands so that the Mont will be freed from them.

Far out of the grounds striking of the hour can now be heard as it was in Jeffersons time. s was Among the recent a jeweler who offered to put the clock in condition at his own expense.
