What WOodpIle Indicates.

What a satisfaction it is to see a gen.
erous, whole souled woodpile! 1t gives
one better opinion of the world and
brings up a rich flood of memories and
associations. One has no need to be
told that the owner is the father of half
a dozen boys and girls, and that the
neighbors like to gather under his roof
during the long winter evenings, when
the snow and wind outside but empha-
size the warmth and cheer within.
One has no need to call on the mag
ination to see the great pile of extra
logs in the corner, waiting their turn
at the fiery carnival, dancing and glow
ing in the fireplace, OF the half circle
of merry story tellers gathered about the
hearth, eating apples and cracking nuts
and exchanging experiences of farming
and hunting with each other.
What an open, large hearted hospital
ity such profusion of wood suggests! 1t
never occurs to one that the owner may
be niggardly or churlish. Such pile
Of wood can only belong to a man
whose heart is large enough to take in
the whole neighborhood.
But what contrast is the woodpile
across the way Ia few sticks that even
the house dog refuses to sleep behind.
No wonder the boys are thin and sick
ly and the girls weak and discontinued.
One can scarcely imagine smile, or a
bit of laughter, or jest passing through
a door that overlooks such pile.

Another Provo Boys Success.

Mr.. Frank Novse, who graduated at
the b. Y. academy five years ago has
just graduated at the university at
Louisville, Kentucky. His career is
worthy OF emulation and TIE DISPATCH
takes pleasure in announcing his sue
cess
After graduating here Mr.. Noysa was
called on a mission to England, his
labors extending over Great Britain
and also into France, where he visited
the gay capital and many other places
of interest. Returning home at the
end of two years he accepted the posi-
ton of principal of Latter day Saints
academy at Nephi. At the end of the
school year he went to Baltimo e
where he bagan the study of medicine
Instead Of enjoying his vacation, as
students are supposed tO'do, he went to
Louisville and put in the summer, re-
naming at that institution until he
graduated on the 18th of March. Out
of a class of thirteen he stood one of
the first four and another Utah bow.
Mr.. Middle ton from the south
ern part of the territory, was
also one of the favored four. DIR,
NoyeS, has taken a prescribed four
years course in two years, and has up
held TIE excellent reputation the boys
from Utah have earned at eastern
schools, and writes that This health is
unimpaired. Invitations to be present
at the commencement exercises were
sent to his mother, Mrs l.. Mcbride,
and DR.. S. H. Allen, both of Provo.
a letter descriptive of the commence
ment exercises, contains this para
graph:
II spent the evening with friends,
and this moring March 49, begun
making arrangements to open up an
Office. My sign will he ready to-
morrow, and if you could walk by
you would see my name, over the door
of a very nicely furnished office"
DIR. NOyes certainly lost no time in
getting into business. He will remain
sometime at Louisville in order to take
some extras in the line of surgery.
