superstitiOus Mormon Women.


A CHASTITY burial ceremony that is
practised by the Mormons rivets the
hold polygamy has on the supersti-
tion of these creatures. Every wife
that is buried has black cloth laid
on her face, and the Mormon women
are taught to believe that on the
resurrection day, when the righteous
are called into the joys of their Lord
no hand but that of q husband can
remove the cloth, and that unless
the cloth is lifted by his hand she
must remain in outer darkness for
ever. A woman who believes that
and the Mormon women believe it,
can't help behaving herself, no mat
ter how many wives her husband
takes. She has to keep on the right
side Of the only man who can take
off that cloth.

81 sold one of your Patent Dust Proof Cas-
es about ten months ago, and the other day 1t
came back to me with the request to make 1t
wind easter. On examination found that
the stem was rusty. and 1 enquired into the
cause of it. The gentleman stated to me that
he was starting some saw logs that had lodg-
ed in the bend of the river. when his chain
caught in bush and threw his watch into
about twelve feet of water, and he was about
two hours finding 1t. When he got it out 1t
was running and he thought all right. In
about three months he found that the stem
was hard to turn and sent it to me.
