Apostle John Taylor met us at the
dock as also quite number of the
Latterday Saints, who took us to their
homes and babe us welcome. But
we will have to go back to the dock
where we took off our baggage.
While we were on the Dock long
line of us, man came along enquiring
for young man and his wife that
would like to hire out on farm and
as Ihad heard SO many of our breth-
rem answer ''yes," I came to the con-
clusion that he did not want any one,
but he finally came to me and asked
the same question, and also an

her to him. He then asked if / had

not. He then said my wife was
very good recommend, and / believ-

certain address, as his sister was
staying there, and she wanted to hire
a man and woman to go out 80 miles
on farm and as we had no money
to enable us to continue any farther
westward we were thankful for this
opportunity and accordingly we went
to the place appointed and we made
a bargain to go and work for $500
a month and they furnish us bed and
board.
Apostle Taylor called a meeting
of all the saints who were going to
stay around there as also the saints
who were living there and gave US
hearty welcome to the land of our
choice and gave us some excellent
council and then asked us, each and
all, If we would be willing, if we
were unable to get work or were
sick, to agree to help each other9
we all agreed that we would, and he
blessed US in the name of the Lord.
and then myself and wife started for
our new home, by railroad, to west

distant from where we had landed.

nothing. He took down double-bar-

powder horn. Then he went out to a
shed and got pan of shelled corn.
"He sat down on bench at the cabin
door, rammed down coupl. of charges
of powder, and poured n handful of
corn in each barrel. He put on per-
cussion cap, pressed it down with the
hammer, cooked both barrels, and
hlazed away ut the side hill across the
little gulch.
THE roar had not died away till
drove of hogs came running, granting
and squealing, and commenced to root
the side hill for the corn. Whenever

man fired another charge of corn.
"That's mean trick said /. why

amazement. Then theywouldn't work.
Besides, they don't need it,
"What do you want to make them

"Why, man alive, they do rs much

While on board the Yorktown I was

famous cat. When the Yorktown was
on Behring sea duty she moored one
day at n dock on the opposite side of

Cd the dock to take view of things.
Some English sailors, observing his

cats met on the dock and touched noses

Hercules and the Hawk.

Some passengers over one of the Bers
lin canal bridges the other day noticed
the sudden appearance of two black
points in the sky at u considerable dis
lance away, which developed into two
ducks. Behind them, at lower Level,
flew another bird, which suddenly rose
into the air above the ducks and then
shot down upon them like an arrow.
One of the ducks flew sideways toward
the Thiergarten; the other, closely
pursued by its enemy, flew slanting
into the canal, and, reaching the water
exactly behind the bridge, dived, while
the hawk, in his blind haste, struck
against the head of n statue of Hercules
and fell, once more Tapping it's great

bridge. The bird was splendid speci-
