the D. & r. G. w. depot that has been, and

place he dispenses meals to the wayfarer and
will continue to do so till the grand Jury in

street standard, but are pretty fair for that
part of town, where the people in an
emergency are not fastidious. Some of
them have a hold-over appetite, holding
over from the days of the famine here, and
can digest anything from a section of gas
pipe up to and including Sanpete hen. So
O'Donohue's Undertaken feeder was pretty
well patroniZed. In a th0ughtless moment

done nothing more to me than tell ME the
latest news regarding the WOODEN factory,
Beckie Sharp's marriage and the local
paper, and wouldn't let me go for half an

hundred years age, of which Victor Hugo
gave an Alexandrine version, reproduced

minds of Utah people Just now.

The joke WA. a.. or. pepeu.

When Chauncey Depew is out Of the way
some people like to have fun with him. Wall
street men are now telling OF his alleged ak
perience on the way over to England this last
time. Every evening a dozen or so clustered
in the smoking room to tell stories and yarn
about things in general Every soul save one
in the party kept his end up This one ex-
ceptional member of the party did not laugh
or indicate by even twinkle of the eyes any
interest in the funniest jokes and was as
silent as door knob at the best stories
This conduct began to nettle Dr. Depew
and the other spirits, and when the final
seance came around they had lost all patience
with the reticent and unresponslye stranger
Dr. Depew, the story runs, was selected to
bring him to terms They were all comfort
ably seated and i'll came the stranger See

Mr.. Depew and all were prepared u give
it up, when the stranger stammered and beSi-
tated and finally made 1t Known that he knew
just one couundrum.

others in chorus

using the elixir, found himself so greatly
improved that he could take seventy five
glasses and has hopes of downing the
record.
A bod carrier in Ward 3, who has been in
the habit of licking his wife for long
time, was persuaded to try the medicine,
and now elixir no more. Grab onto this
quick
A street car driver, conductor. promoter,
or whatever he may be called, was induced
to try the preparation, and it so changed
his disposition that the first time he was
spoken to afterwards he returned civil
answer. This, however, has not been
verified.
The man who said that Ogden was going
to order large lot of the truck to apply to
its boom, is undoubtedly adresident of Salt
Lake.
One malicious cuss suggests that a uuan-
tity of the elixir be given to the elixir
Perhaps the Liberal party will require a
considerable amount of lamb juice after the
February election. Then, like its other
self, the Republican party, its chief reli-
ance will be on sheep.
These incidents are enough. One thing
is positive-I am not going to try it any
more. | am not very old anyway, and
have about as much vitality apparently as
there is any pressing demand for. don't
want to make all exhibition of myself again
by returning to infancy, for in that happy
period of life we do many things and manv
things are done to us which would not be
tolerated in our maturer years.

In the hammock slowly swinging,
Where the fireflies are winging,
Underneath tue trees,
Sit q youth and maiden slender
And with conversation tender
Warm the evening breeze.
He is telling OF bis passion.
Urging her, in lover fashion.
To become his wife.
She is listening, coy, unwilling.
But she doesn't miss a thrilling
Word, you bet your life!
So when, certain OF his bliss, her
Lover forward bends to kiss her,
And will not desist,
With his arm around her stealing.
And his brown eyes, 80 appealing,
Hog can she resist?
But he misses the sweet token,
For before the words are spoken
That will seal his bliss
Snap the hammock rope is parted.
And the lovers-broken hearted
Feel too med 20 kiss.

others elixir of life, others vigor of life, and
so on. The way have it above is original
and its first appearance on any stage.
1t is composed of certain animal sub
stances borrowed for the occasion from
Mary's little lamb. Like most things that
are borrowed they are not returned, but in
this instance, being no longer useful eX-
cept in the field of eternal science, the lamb
doesn't care. The substances are reduced
to pulp in an iron mortar with pestle
of the same material only as big as base
ball bat, and every time it clanks along the
sides and bumps down on the bottom of
| the mortar, you can hear it afar off if there
are no webb-sterian storms prevailing.

that am pretty well up in French, having
seen and conversed with quite number of
French people, and this, added to the fact
that the vigor of youth is distinctively u
