BEATING FATHER TIME.
The Mormon Bishop Was Frightened at
the Speed.

From the Chicago Record: Speed
was once demonstrated on western
road In a fashion to curl the hair of
at least one old Mormon bishop. The
churchman considered il a phenom-
enon, and got Off the train as quickly
as he could. He had bull-whacEed
across the plains in the early days,
and, strange to say, had never ridden
on railroad train until the time when
he entered upon his trip from Green
River to San Francisco. The speed
was. therefore. a revelation to him.
He had never before seen anything so
swift, and he was scared. About
twelve miles from Ogden he asked the
conductor for the time OF day, and was
told that II was 7:35. He impressed
this time forcibly on his mind. Now,
for wonder, the western connection al
Ogden was quickly made, and after
the lapse of but a few minutes the
San Francisco-bound travellers were on
their way Californiaward. Ogden had
been left behind only few miles. and
the train was whooping along at be-
hind-time rate of speed. when the old
bishop. frightened and trembling.
dared to ask the conductor what was
the time of day. IL you have travelled
westward you know that at Ogden the
time changes. and San Francisco time,
one hour earlier. is adopted. The con-
ductor had San Francisco time and he
| said:
''It is 7:10--ten minutes after seven y
The old bishop, previously haunted
by a dread OF impending destruction
because OF the horrible rate OF speed
at which he was being whirled through
space. rose with wild cry and made
for the door.
/ "Lemme on he cried. 'It was 81
minutes after an hour ago, an were
goin' so fast we are goin' faster than
time can count itself. Lemme of
Had he really been going as fast as
the old man had believed. he would

mile, and was carried back to ogder
