Some of the members o. the
Ladies' Aid Society took oflense at
an article last week in which we
congratulated the society upon its
vote to live up to its constitution
and to use the funds it had solicited
from the public for the purposes for
which the public had so generously
and literally contributed. We
take pleasure in saying to those
members who thought our COM
mendation Of this act of the society
as a whole was a reflection upon
them as part. or as individuals,
that such was not our intention.
The word "swiped" was used in the
sense Of taken" The expression
"Duncoed" where used was a gener-
al observation to apply to any and
all churches, or church affairs. and
at all times. The fact that some of
these ladies took our article as
personal reflection, in the light of
certain well-known facts,is evidence
to us that an evil tongue has been
wagging. The possessor Of such a
tongue fattens upon the mental suf-
fering of others, hence we shall not
feed such on such food by giving
newspaper noteriety to certain phas-
es Of this unpleasantness. This is
not such a momentous question as
to worry the HERALD, but there are
those among the ladies referred to
whose good opinion and neighborly
friendship we hold in high esteem,
and with this explanation, and
having endeavored to pursue
straightforward course at all times
we leave the matter to the calmer
judgement which comes from
reflection.

A RID
Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords Of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnih-
cent scenery in the world. Its road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE VEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
farous by the beauty and variety
of the scenery on its line. it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
