record is certainly one to which they
may point with very pardonable de-
gree of pride. Not only has their bust
ness extended into new regions, and
grown as a natural consequence, but 1t
has continued to extend in those q1ar-
tiers in which they had already planted
them selves, and to day, the volume OF
their trade is remal kably augmented
beyond what they could have reason
ably anticipated, wheI they began here.
In all their histor the business of the
first ten days in December, 1888. ex-
ceeded what it had ever done before in
the same number of days, and ex-
ceeded 1t to such an extent that it was
matter for some comment am )ng
themse Ives, and certainly for self
ngratulation.
Messrs. Remington, Johnson & Co. are
also recognized for the impor 5ant part
taken by them in asking for railroad
consde 'ation for the interests of iobbers
in this vicinity, and have taken very
active interest in securing concessions
from the railroads that those in the
jobblng business might not be left to
the mercy of outside opposition. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Rem
ington was one of the persons prom
lQontly 1Q6QClQ6Q on the OenalI OI the
Chamber of Commerce durin< the last
summer, in the movement which
created so much comment here, and
regarding which the railroad companies
were compelled to take oognizance. The
result of the movement inaugurated by
the Chamber was general meeting, in
which the Union Pacific had one of it's
most trusty representatives, and very
material alterations we're made in the
tariff for this locality from what had
been in existence previously. By this
arrangement the jobbers of Salt Lake
City were given new foothold. and
they were enabled to work in their own
fields and not have their interests cut
to pieces by firms located on the Mis-
souri, River and east. Not only per
sonal interest, but public spirit
prompted this course, and the result
has been growth in every respect.
Through the interest of such firms.
Salt Lake may hope to hold her own,
and in the coming race to maintain her
rights as against any competitors who
have no interest here. only so far as
they can sell their goods.

In an interview with reporter, Mr.

employment of an aggregate capital

assertion, Mr.. Smurthwaite showed

this Territory goods in straight car lots

Chicago prices. thereby saving their pa

nd heard the cruel taunt and cry;

And heard the cruel taunt and cry;
And saw the fatal burden borne
The bleeding temples pierced and torn;
And knew that Him they loved must die.
Not even reverence can know,
With utmost marvel of its thought,
The agony of feeling, fraught
With the close sense of that high woe.
Lo, throngs upon high Calvary
And pomp of brass and CLEAN OF spear,
Centurion numbers fling near,
The captive yielding peacefully.
Oh, hour of untold agony
When some high purpose wrought eclipse
OF silence, sealing potent lips
From fruitful sign and prophesyl
And murmurs from the throng arose
The discord of triumphant hate.
That Knocked the helplessness of fate
Of Him that banished others woes.
And. crying, Jesus, save Thyselfp
The thieves take up the scornful cry,
And cen the loved disciples sigh.
And, Mary weeping, Save Thyself "
Not all the skill and subtle art
Of Him who from the height unfurled
The mighty kingdoms of the world
With hope to prove the human heart
Of Him he tempted, could fulfill
The wish he yearned as tbs dark power,
Which wrestled with Him in that hour,
With purpose to betray his will

But glibly, in the human way,
AS now common theme is Hung.
With all thousand comments strung
On things that happened yesterday.
"A STANCE star trembled in the east,
While all the glittering heavens paled.
The wise men, needing, PROSTATE, hailed
The sign Nor doubling in the least,
went zach his way and carried far
The tidings of a glorious Birth
The Son of Heaven sent to earth,
AS symbolled by the wondrous star
They journeyed to Jerusalem.
And at the throne of Herod swore
The word fulfilled, that seers of yore
Had prophesied concerning Him.
" Then followed onward in the night,
Where yet the star before them led
Nor stayed till meath the humble shed
The Babe was yielded TO their sight.
"And Herod, hearing this report,
Made slaughter of the innocents.
But came vision, calling hence
The Child unto a safer port {"
This, and thousand whisperings,
And wondering talk, of all foretold
For ages, by the seeTs of old;
And harping on forgotten things,
That bore upon this self-same theme,
With meaning that His coming gave.
Had prescience but served to save
The vision from the common dream,
Made the quaint commerce of the time;
While yet the infant Jesus lay,
Unconscious of the fruitful day
That sealed the mission OF His prime
And so until the novel paled,
And silence of the life begun
Made lack of deeds with which to run
vibrant scale. and wonder failed;
Then ceased While far off Egypt kept
The theme, that grew from less to less,
Till sounded from the wilderness
The voice arousing tales that slept
And through Judea swept the sound
Of Iumors from the multitude
That swarmed land, wonder stricken viewed
The dead and palsied living bound.
Then came the day when that high bliss
OF love in Judas heart CONCEALED,
And traitorous lips, once honored, sealed
The fateIul future with kiss.
They bore Him to the judgment hall,
And Pilates weakness scorned the truth
Of conscience, crying bitter ruth
For innocence that suffered all.
And gave Him to the multitude,
That, crying loudly. 'CrucifyP
Babe evil OF the future lie
Upon that moments seeming good.
Oh! wjeful tragedy of sight!
When where the tried disciples watched,
To see that guarded door Unmatched
And their dear Lord walk in the light.
And, with no other thought intent
Than hope to save, they only see
Barabbas walk before them, free.
And caught at all the omen meant.

THE LEGENDOF THE CROSS.
BY MISS JOSEPHINE SPENCER.

"The time draws near the birth of Christ"
New carols to the day are sung;
Glad greetings pass from tongue to tongue;
No lapse of years can vel. with mist
The splendor of that olden tale,
Unto whose burden fits the rhyme
And cadence of the gleeful time
Wi. b harmony that may not fail
To tune the beatings of the heart
In sweet accord with that great joy,
Whose fullness knows but one alloy
The grief with which His woe hath part.
So many years have come and gone
Since that great Passion of our Lord
Was handed, as local word,
For common tongues to harp upon;
And still the day that brings His birth
Brings yet the haunting sense of loss,
The blended memory of the cross
And His sad pilgrimage on earth.
How strange to compass time and space!
And De transferred to ancient days,
And pass along the stored ways,
When that strange Passion taking place
Fill ed all the thoughts and lives of mem
And hear them touch the common theme
Not in the tenor of dream,
AS we, of nj that happened then;

Fierce clamor reigns upon the spot;
Loud taunts of them that hail him King,
And cries of them that tear and fling
b S raiment, casting scornful lot.
Swift darkness strikes upon the sight,
The tumult dies along the hill,
And solemn whispers rise and fill
rhe silence of the sudden night
Then spake the sinner, he whose word
Had child his fellows taunting cry,
"a miracle! lest thou should'st die ~
And all the wondering people heard
MY paths were paths of wickedness.
From worse to worse my nature grew,
And evil made the all knew
OF life, whose error l confess.
1.-The need of evil We must win.
We gather simply as we serve,
And only reap as we deserve;
But, thou, oh, Lord art free from sin.
81 need not speak, 10! verify,
Thou know'st the evil of my heart
Yet, in thy kingdom where thou art,
1 pray thee, Lord, remember me-"

To-day with me III Paradise
oh, potent promise, deeper fraught
With meaning than the hour caught
When that great S ,irit sought the skies.
The tomb gave up the mortal frame
A symbol of the mighty change
When soul and body joined, shall range
The regions whence that Spirit came
But here the dearer meaning lies
A sign that faith saves sin from loss
The simple legend of the cross:
To-day with me in Paradise"

large crowd soon gathered. Inves-

not believed to be dangerous. Some
misunderstanding arose over faro
game in Dixon's house and Whitlow
went to the saloon below. After
Dixon had closed the house he went
below and he and Whitlow engaged
in conversation. 1t was thought all
trouble was over, but Whitlow had
obtained a pistol, and when the two
men were standing in narrow pas

Whitlow drew his pistol. Dixon
