No more refreshing sight could be de-
sired than that which met the eye In pass
ing down Main street at noon one day last
week. AT that hour the neat was in
tense. and a dig BLOCK of clear, pure ice,
surrounded with water crosses in a rss-
tauranI windo v was most alluring indeed,
was quite impossible for the THIRSTY and
hungry pedestrian to resist. Heated hu
mainly began to feel cool just as soon
as the eyes rested upon ii. What az
art this window dressing has become, that
even while one goes hurriedly to ald fro in
the rush of business, he is compelled to
stop and admire. IL is as well, great re-
lief TO the sordedness that weighs down
the soul.
Everybody is complaining of the dust
Strangers who come here are heard to say,
..rve beard much of Salt Lakes dust, hut
never dreamed it could be 80 bad.' And
indeed it is every Our magnificent
trees present q sorry appearance covered
az they are thick with it, and how il does
change the appearance of our beautiful
city, 1t seems that with all the water
which appears to bs running to waste there
is more than enough to keep down this
nuisance. Of course the bot sun drinks up
the water rapidly, but repeated watering
and plenty OF it will do the work. Dis
tribute it too, more evenly and don't let US
have rivers Of mud in one locality. while
mere sprinkle has TO suffice in otner quar-
ters
While waiting for car the other day,
the chronicler stood under the shade of
great tree listening to the murmur of the
waters in the ditch. They had spread out
wide and were pretty deep, running rap
idly too; when the eye took in caterplller
that was using straw as bridge to cross.
1t would get so far when rivulet would
dash it back, then another attempt would
be made, when back it would go. Again
and again the trial was made, and at last it
doubled itself to beat retreat in search
for some new way. a blade of grass was
USED for the new trial with like result.
just then the car came, picked up the ob-
server and the despised caterpillar was left
TO succeed without applause. The busy
bee is written of, the SPIDERS jump, but
never, no never, is the creeping thing ele-
waited.
Last Sunday every street car going In
any direction was crowded to its fun ca
pacity. People packed in like matches n
a box. So pressed together were they that
on passing any given object the head could
not be sufficiently turned to take good
view of it. Sunday is fast becoming in
this country the holiday it is abroad
Ia going through the old cemetery a visi-
tor sees much to interest him. Among the
graves there lies the dust of some born
away back in l70S. under the reign of
Wales sovereign The poor Indian, or
Americas native, adopted many years ago,
lies sleeping among the white mem bers
of the family, and one who first saw
the light In Africas' schorcing cline here
awaits the last trumpet. Most OF the
sleepers found their way from Sweden,
England. Wales. New Hampshire and New
York From the primitive picket encios-
ure and wooden head-poard, to the stately
shaft Of ltaly's pure marble, the granite
slab which lies fiat upon the grave, and
the lnagni1cently carved figure standing
upon it's handsome pedestal, all are here in
affectionate remem brance OF the dear de-
parted. The weeping willow, the maple,
poplar and locust tree ell keep their SEN
tinel watch over the dead and refresh the
living as they look at the green, and enjoy
the cool shadows. The many, many
deaths recorded in the same year would
indicate an epidemic.
The last of the knights has been seen,
and what a benefit their coming has been
