 flakes" says Jerry, "ain't it about time for you cussed Mormons to begin praying for rain? The stock ..are dying throughout the ter ritory, and rain is our only saliva tion."
 flakes looked atJerry and laugh ingly replied:
 "Well Jerry, if we should pray for, and succeed in getting a rain storm, you republicans would charge the Mormons with the responsibili- ties of the muddy streets, and say 1t was in the interest of the demo- cratic party"
 This conversation took place on Saturday, ,and the following Monday it began to rain; it rained for near ly two weeks, and the ground was admirably soaked and the Phenix streets were getting pretty muddy.

 Hello, Mesa !'
 Mesa-"Hello !"
 Jerry-"TelI flakes that it has rained enough, and we want hIm to stop praying"
 Mesa-"Mr. flakes is still pray ing and refuses to desist."
 Jerry looked at his muddy clothes and listened to the downpour on the roof, and getting excited shouted through the telephone:
 "Say, you tell that d-d old Mormon to stand up and quit that praying! we like a reasonable amount of religion, but by thunder I protest against being foated into the other world through any cussed Mormon conspiracy"
 And Jerry swore, stamped and the rain poured, but flakes kept right along at his praying Finally after two more days of rain and prayer, Jerry started for Mesa, and ap- preaching flakes he shouted.
 flakes, I thought of ordering out the militia, then I was afraid you might whip them now as a last re- sort 1 have come to offer myself as sacrifice to this flood. If you will stop that rascally prayer I will join the Mormon church." And Jerry looked around to see how many wives he was to have. flakes evi- dently was prepared for the worst, for turning to Jerry he said meeklY "BrotherMillay,we are a law abiding people return to your home; my prayer is at an end for the present.
 Jerry left, but says the country can go to thunder before he will l ever again start a confounded Nor mon praying, and now he is satis- fled what rid this country of the Aztecs.
