Joseph L. Rawlins, senator-elect
from Utah, was not the Norman
church candidate, but he won
through Norman church votes
which were thrown to him in order
to beat Thatcher, whom the church
set out to crush. The news of the
result. says the Salt Lake Tribune,
fell like wet blanket on the city
and state. but the fact that the
long contest brought several Nor
man members of the legislature
into open rebellion against the
dictation of the church authorities
is believed to foreshadow the i'm
mediate and complete downfall of
that hierarchy as a political power
in Utah.

paced the deck together, and did not

Kenyon brought the girl who was with

knew that afterward his companion

SUNSHINE OF LONG AGO.
Light Is Never Lost Though Ages MAY
Have Passed.

Light IL Never Lost Though Ages May
Have Passed.
Ages and ages ago, when the earth was
young, and man had not yet begun TO
live on it, because as yet the conditions
were not favorable TO the life that man
kind needs, monster fishes swan in the
Shiny seas, and giant animals stallSed
over and through the marshy lands.
Monster trees grew from the sloppy,
moist ground, while grasses taller than
we ever saw and plants with huge stems
and gigantic leaves grew beneath their
branches.
Then, as now, rain fell. clouds floated
by and the bright sunshine was over
all. The brighter the sunshine the
ranker and taller grew the trees, the
grasses, the ferns and the weeds. Year
after year they grew and blossomcd and
died, over and over again, just as plants
and trees do now. Again and again,
in those ages great earthquakes oc-
Cured, and the waters would roll in
places where they were not before, and
where they were once would be bare
ground. The giant trees and the plants
beneath them would be packed and
buried i'm the mud and would see the
sunshine no more. Over and over again
trees and grasses, plants and ferns
grew In the sunshine; over and over
again they were buried and packed
down in the darkness. ever undergoing
chemical changes.
Ages came and went, and finally man,
the browning work OF the Creator APP
peared upon the scene. Centuries cnme
and went before he discovered the buried
sunshine. Many are the legends as TO
how and when he first learned OF the
warmth imprisoned in the black mineral
that, now and then, was found above
the ground. AS every good deed sooner
or later leaves it's record on the an
nails of time, so the short lives of the
tiniest ferns OF ages are now making
light and happiness In many a home
that would be dark. cold and gloomy
