Competition.

< fu Utab Territory there were two rival stage lines, one run by man named Smith, and another man named Johnson. The com petition was so great that at last both lines carried people for nothing, and Fave them premiums besides. Smith 6Eored free ride and a Barlow knife to each passenger. Johnson offered a boiled Shirt. Smith saw that and went one bet ter giving a pound Of Bologna sausage tfith the shirt. J6tnkorl adopted the saus- See and distri ribufed Epfd-headed canes and fcpies of W6tfS' Hymns. Smith rallied Hnd 0f1red ali Johnsonss premiums and a lif1er of pups aud bunch ot toothpicks to each man. But Johnson took all the travel by paying the old debts of each passenger and deeding him a cemetery lot. Smith turned the tide immediately in his direction by giving every fellow a pair of mules, a church-pew and fifteen hundred shares of stock in the Pacific Then Jones determined upon his master stroke. He went to Brigham
 Young and got special dispensation and then he offered to marry all the women who rode in his stages, to take all the men into partnership, and to give gum rings to all the babies. Smith was broken up, and
 had 10 sell out and abandon the business.
 Johnson has now fourteen hundred and twenty-siX wives, fifteen hundred partners, and he is indebted to an india-rubber man for six bushels of gum rings. But he killed Smith, and is now happy.
