Springville, Provo, Provo Ranch, Rattle
Greek, American Fork, and Summit

American towns.
Judge Drummond's sister is a large,

HIGHLY IMPORTANT QUEsTIOE.-
Among the most important topics dis
oussed in the newspapers, nowadays,
is whether the individual at the Trinity
Bay end of the cable is De Sanity or De
Sauty. The Hartford Comm Times
adjures him as follows:
Thou operator, silent, glum,
Why will YOU act so naughtyl
Do tell us tBhdt your name Is, come
De SANITY or De Sauty2
Don't think 10 "humbug" any more,
Shut up there in your Rhanty--
But solve the problem--once for all
De Sauty or De Suuty2"
