whipping Russia and letting those refractory
sons escape who are better taught-who
have had kind Father teaching them and

have turned deaf ear to all his instruc-

those boys who have not been so well iu

1t appears that President Kinball was
cursed with rich relations, and has cause 10
remember them. II any Of these relations
are hcrcabout, they can see what is in store
for them. lie evidently thinks that unless
the devil gets his rich relations there is no
use for having any devil. Being purified by
fire, as President Kimball prophcscs, is IA
thcr severe business. He says
"You have often heard me speak about my
kindred. Many wish to return TO the old
countries TO bring out their kindred,
and their daughters, their fathers and their
mothers Why would | not 90 back for

Lake City, but a. some cmbarras >Incnts are
thrown IN the way Of outsiders in gaining
access TO the fair daughters Of the city, the
following question is asked by the News:
"MR. Enron Can gentleman Of good
reputation and character, not Of your rc,i-
