Who will COx1npcte?

In the Semi Weekly Deseret
News of December 31st; 1895, I
saw an article signed L. \. II. en-
titled "Who will compete?''
Now, Mr.. Editor, we poor Dixey-
ties know SO little of this world
and it's surroundings, never give a
banter, and are generally very slow
to take one, but still [ will give you
a few facts.
Today I visited Samuel B. Har-
dy at his residence and found him
and his amiable wife sitting COM
fortably at their freside. L said,
"When were you born, father Har-
dy?' He said, "On the 21st of
September, 1904"
"When did you join the Church
Of Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints?"
In May, 1872" he replied.
"When were you married to your
present wife?"
They both said, 40 years ago
this month
Glow old are you mother Har-
dy?"
She replied II was born on the
10th of September, 1906. joined
the Church in 1874"
They are we'll preserved and !
left my blessing with them.
l then came south a few blocks
and found father Lorenzo Clark OF
Mormon Battalion fame, comforta-
bly, seated, reading the Deseret
News, without glasses, and after a
friendly chat I said Glow old are
you father CLARKE"
Il will be 80 in May" he replied.
"When did you join the Church,
''In December, 1885,"
He is robust, hale and hearty.
Now what has kept these broth
rem in goo.; healthy condition
has been plenty of hard work and
hard living with sometimes a good
home, and sometimes none at all
but always full Of faith in the Cos
pei Of Christ.
Nop Mr.. Ne,Us Editor don't you
banter us Dixie fellows, for zee can
compete ,oith any of you for good,
faithful men and still better faith
full sisters, smarter sons and daugh-
ters, heal$hier and better babies
and more of them to the number
ofinhabitants, than any other place
in Utah, and ice a0ill permit you to
run over the borders into a fen
neighboring States; and you can't
back us dom in quality, either, fol
ace have both quality and quantity,
yet zoe never boast, but if you acant
to see anything good, pay us visit
and zoe aoill sho,o you ho,U ace live
aohere zoe live and aOhat we live for.
And to sum it all up, will say We
live to do good to all mankind.
More anon.

American sailor) 1 left the port Of
Boston, the master of a fine slip,
bound for China. / was worth ten
thousand dollars, and was the
husband Of young and handsome
wife, whom I had married but six
months. When I left her, l
promised to return in less than a
twelvemonth. I took all my money
with me save enough to support
my wife in my absence, for the
purpose of trading when in China,
on my own account. For long
time we were favored with pros
porous winds; but when in the
China seas terrible storm came
upon us, so that in short time l
saw the vessel must be lost, for we
were drifting on the rocks of an
unknown shore. I ordered the
men to provide each for himself liz
the best possible manner, and for
get the ship, as it was an impos-
sibility to save her. We struck 90
sea threw me upon the rocks sense
less, and the next would have car
ried me back into watery grave,
had not one of the sailors dragged
me further up the rocks. There
were. only four of us alive, aud,
when morning came, we were on a
small urinhabited island, with
nothing to eat but the wild fruit
common to that portion Of the
earth.
I will not distress you by an
accound of our sufferings there;
suffice it to say that we remained
sixty days before we could make
ourselves known to any ship. We
were taken into Canton, and there
I had to beg; for my money was
at the bottom of the sea, and I had
not taken the precaution to have it
insured. 1t was nearly a year be-
fore 1 found q chance to come
home, and then I, a captain, was
obliged to ship as a common sailor.
1t was two years from the time
[ left America that I landed in
Boston. [ was walking in a hur-
ried manner up one Of it's streets,
when [ met my brother-in- law.
He could not speak nor move,
but he grasped my hand, and the
tears gushed from his eyes.
''Is my wife alive?" 1 asked.
He said nothing. Then I
wish that / had persisted with my
ship, for l thought my wife was
deed, but he very soon said; "Shs
is alive" Then it was my turn to
cry for JOY. He chung to me and
said: 'FYour funeral sermon has
been preached, for we have thought
you dead for a long time" He
said that my wife was living in our
little cottage in the interior of the
State. It was then three o'clock
in the afternoon, ard took train
that would carry me within twenty
five miles of my wife. Upon lsav-
ing the cars 1 hired boy, though
it was night, to drive me home.
1t was about five o'clock in the
morning when that sweet little cot
tage of mine appeared in sight
1t was warm, moonlight night,
and l remember how like heaven
it looked to me. l got out of the
carriage and went to the window
of the room where the servant girl
slept and gently knocked. She
opened the window, and asked
"Who was there?" Sarah, do you
not know meP said T. She
