them down because did not want 20
ride. Finally one of them offered to
haul nae for five cents, this was street
car fare 60 concluded to ride lust as
far ne could for Ave cents. climbed
into ine hack. raped myself in the
nice robes and was of Tor the falls. [
thought this was hit, so made up my
mind that would not be eoaxed into
anything, but would use all the soft soap
[ could and found 1t was working oil
right. Finally he concluded he was
hold OF the wrong man and stopped 10
argue the point and opened the door
and climbed out, bid him good day and
walked on. l did not 20 more than
twenty rods before was offered another
ride. Thisene claimed that he did not
dare 10 drive across the bridge unless
he had some one in his hack, so I
climbed in. rode oil around the great

drive me all around but had more
time than money 10 l just opened the
door Of the hack aud got out. walked
all around and went over into Canada.

will just say that IL is the finest OF any
thing in the line Of nature that ever
saw. just think OF the great sheet OF
: water pouring down over the rocks
hundreds Of feet high, to the extent that
! IL fills the air with mist for miles away
After my walk l stepped into a
restaurant Tor the purpose Of having u
, lunch. The waiter was lady that had
red hair and weighed about 200 pounds.
She looked very pleasant so I chatted
!, very freely with her. This caused her
!, to ask me where was from. When
= told her was from Utah you ought Ia
a have seen her eyes pop out; well you
It are from the land where they have jus,
as many wives 40 they want. IwoulC

10 would want to get him another one."
- seid, when man has large woman
\ for his wife he hardly ever gets secont
e one, then you should have seen he
d laugh. Presently I showed her M
h Salt Lake views with the group o
