Elder Bob Sloan comes to the front in YES
terday's Herald, and after assuring the

he challenges Mr.. Stoddard to discussion

it is no wonder that you have been dupeC
by devoting your time to their study, but
did you ever notice the "practices?" Whether

tackle Mr.. Stoddard upon them.
A man bought through ticket to New
York at the Union ticket office this morning,
and before he had been out of the office long
he returned to say that he had lost it. At
about the same time a little bootblaclS
entered the office with the pasteboard in his
hand. The loser hailed him with JOY, but
the kid didn't see the point and he wanted
the man to give up an y. The traveller
didn't see 1T that way, and the trouble was
finally settled by the ticket being traded to
its owner for $2.05 The bootblack pocketed
the amount and disappeared with swindled
air.
Yesterday was good old time ideal winter
day. AT about noon the snow began falling
in large feathery flakes and in short time
the ground had passed through all the in,
termediate shades between black and white
The snow flakes grew finer and finer until
they became like dust tossed about by the
wind. The streets became wet and icy and
travel of all kinds wss impeded. During
the afternoon and evening the wind held
sway and twirled the snow about, clearing il
from the ground in one place only to pile il
knee deep in another. The capers of Boreas
were more sportive than cheerful; but, all
IN all, the day was welcome one.
