that this is the house in, which Artemus
Ward called on the President and saw
NINETY five pairs Of long stockings hanging
upon the clothes line. That however, may
lbe taken as a joke. Brother Brigham was
rich enough to have separate house for
every one of his fifty seven wives, more or
less. He did largely settle them apart.
Even then he had high old times with their
auarreling occasionally. 8
But the common working Mormon is not SO
,oney. His wives and children are herded
together like sheep in psn. The ordinary
way in this city In the old time was for the
Mormon to build a long shed-like house Of
dobes or sun-dried bricks.
III he could afford it each wife had sep
rate entrance at which to go in. like the
oles cut in the doors at Mt. Vernon for

oint Of dignity with Mormon wife to
