over the remains of Marion Wayne
Cox, son of Isaiah and Elizabeth
Stout Cox, who passed away Sep
TENDER 25, 1897, held in St. George
Tabernacle, Sunday, September
26.
Marion Wayne Cox was born
November 20, 1884.
President David HI. Cannon was
the first speaker and spoke Of him
as a young man, who, having been
called to go on mission to carry
the gospel to our fellow man, took
great comfort in looking forward
to the day when he should start on
his mission, but Brother Cox is
called to another sphere where he
will have ample opportunity of do
ing a work for those on the other
side of the vale. We see that it is
the brightest spirits that are called
away. While a vicarious work is
being done here for our friends
who have passed away, there will,
of necessity, be some to carry the
gospel to those in the spirit world.
Brother Cox has received the Holy
Priesthood and is prepared to
preach the gospel to those who
have died without hearing the Cos
pei in the flesh. 1t was his desire
to magnify the Holy Priesthood
which has been placed upon him.
The speaker desired that the
comforting influence of the Spirit
of God may rest upon this family
and carry peace to their hearts,
and that they will acknowledge
that our Father doeth all things
well.

John l.. Sullivan for Mayor of

Boston with its noble, historical

a man for mayor who stands so low

William LeGrande Cannon, of
Helena, Mont, who arrived on the
Excelsior Thursday, says that no
amount of money can purchase for
a hungry man anything to eat at
the stores of the two trading COM
panies on the Yukon, and the
result will be that when the men
now on the way into the country
do arrive without enough provis-
ions, they will be met by a com
mittee, who will show them that it
is impossible to feed and care for
them and they will DE advised to
get out. Many will not accept
this good advice or the greatest
suffering must follow. Il was
assured by the leading men of
both companies. said Mr.. Cannon,
chat they would post at the doors
of their stores, as soon as the men
now on the way over the passes
and up the river arrives, notices
that there are 10 provisions to be
sold, and advising the men to re-
turn to civilization while they have
yet enough to live On. AS it

man in his sickness and having
felt the spirit manifested by him
as also his loving mother and the
family, how they watched over
him and done all that it was posi-
BILE for them to do. At all times
they have relied on God and trust
ed his loving kindness, and friends
have rallied around them all has
been done that could be to assist
them in this their time of trouble
and sorrow. Said it is pleasant
indeed to see the union and love
that exist in this family. 1t is
we'll known by many of us that
there was strong desire in his
heart to 60 and preach the gospel
to his fellowman, and he will have
the desire of his heart in preach
ing the gospel to the spirits that
have been on this earth and have
passed from this sphere of action
without hearing the gospel. He
read, in poof of this, the scriptures
where the Savior went and preach
ed to those spirits in prison, that
were once disobedient in the days
of Noah, and this young man will
preach the same gospel TO the
spirits in the spirit world. He
read from the vision in the Doct-
rine and Covenants, in regard to
the great reward that is in store
for the righteous.
President d. d. Macarthur cor
roborated the remarks Of the for
mer speakers and encouraged the
living to SO live that they may be
worthy to receive the great bless
ings that God has in store for his
obedient children.
He, with his brethren had re-
commended brother Cox to 90 on
mission because they knew him
to be a good and worthy young
man, and our Father has seen fit
to call him to the other side and
we firmly believe that brother Cox
has laid down his body pure be-
fore the Lord.
Bishops Councillor Thomas P.
Gotham bore testimony that all the
good things spoken by the speak
ers in regard to brother Cox are
strictly true, as he had been we'll
acquainted with him and was salts
fed that brother Cox had filled an
honorable life. He thanked the
brethren and sisters who have
been diligert in assisting the fam
lily in their hour of need.

The Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With the Army Shoe.

The Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With the Army Shoe.
"The first pair of shoes I had in the
army" said the old soldier, "were two
sizes too big for me. wore skies; my
first army shoes were eights. / didn't take
them from choice-I got the nearest I
could to my size. We were being fitted out
from head to foot for the first time; that
was when we were mustered In, and the
required numbers Of pairs Of shoes, of as
Eorted sizes, had been delivered to each
company. When got at lem, they had
been cI;ied over SO much That there was
nothing left smaller than eights.
II didn't think IL would be possible for
me to wear shoe two sizes too big for
me, but / tried pair on. They were
brogans, having flaps, with two eyelets
on each side, lacing over the instep with
leather shoe strings. They tied snugly, SO
that the heel and often part of the shoe,
and tho sole, did not shuck on the foot.
The forward part of my foot felt as though
1t were outdoors, but thought they might
do; had got to have a pair Of shoes, and
took them.
II wore those shoes for months, and
with the greatest comfort. They were
enormous, or they looked so TO me. As
soon as began to wear them the thick
leather of the uppers bumped up into big,
rounded ridges, with valleys between,
across the top, giving to tho top of tho
shoe sort Of fluted or corrugated effect
These corrugations remained always Just
the same as long as wore the shoes. They
were not what you would call handsome
shoe, but, as ! said, they did not shuck
around on my feet, and they wero mighty
comfortable.
"But 1t doesn't follow that after that /
always got shoes two sizes too big for me;
as matter Of fact, didn't, but I always
did get shoes plenty large for me; plenty.
and found comfort In wearing them.
Sometimes we used to draw boots,
cavalry boots And IL was kind of fun 70
get boots remember very well the first
pair Of boots drew. think l felt (perhaps
In little maturer sort of way, though not
much 50, either) about as much pleased
over that pair of boots as did with my
first red tops when was boy. To get
on a pair Of cavalry boots sort Of made q
man feel little bit less like a ploddine
infantrymaD, and little more like q cav.
alryman; 1t gave him sort of horse and
saber touch. But this was only as bs
walked down the company street after
drawing the boots from the quartermas
ter. The next day, on picket. the boots
were about tho same to him az shoes
would have been.
still, there wero men who prcfcrrct
boots and always drew boots when the,
could get them. But for myself likct
shoes better. A mounted man, of course
wants boots, but according 10 my notioi
the most comfortable thing for an infantr,
soldier to wenr Ia good, roomy shoe tba
can be made snug enough somewhere ~
that it won't shuck around on tho foot

ONE MILLIoNAlRE's START.
Pennileus, He Went Right Over to tn
Bank and Got the Money.

Pennilcus, He Went Right Over to the
Bank and Got the Money.
A young German immigrant, who had
not dollar in the world and no relatives
friends or acquantances In America
worked his way westward from New York
until no reached small town In Ohio,
where no secured position as clerk In q
-four and feed store and went to work. In
almost an incredibly short time he learned
tho English language and had mastered
the few details of the business he was In.
One day he walked into another feed
store few blocks away, said that no had
heard that the proprietor Of the place de-
sired to sell out and inquired the price.
The feed dealer wanted $1,000. After
few inquiries the caller said
"All right. will call tomorrow at 10,
and veil go over to the bank and get the
money"
No ono knew anything about the young
German. The feed store man who wanted
to sell jumped to the conclusion that the
prospective purchaser must have brought
considerable money from Germany. The
next dny, promptly on time, the German
called to take possession.
"Come on, [" hs said; "vs'n 60 right over
10 the bank now and get the money"
Together they entered the bank. The
German approached the cashiers window,
introduced himself and said:
"Dis II Mr.. Jones, who keeps the feed
store ON Main street. haf bought ont
his plaoe for 1900, end ve hat called to
got the money"
"I beg your pardon, 4" replied the cash.
Ter, "but you have no account here, have
your"
"You don't understand" earnestly re-
marked the German. II don't want an
account at all. want only the money"
"But you have no money In this bank"
explained the official.
''Of course not" assented the caller.
"If had money, would pay dis man my
self. But haven't any money at all, SO
I must come to you to get It,"
"But we can't let you have money un-
less you first give 1t to us.
"Then why Is a bank?" excitedly de-
manded the would be borrower.
The colloquy which ensued waxed 80
loud that the president Of the bank came
out of his private office to see what was
the matter. He took the young German
ia hand personally. The latter told the
banker all about himself and his aims,
and in less than half an hour the bank
had loaned him 81 800 and held . first
mortgage on o feed store owned by the
happiest young foreigner In America.
That occurred many years ago, IL IL
true, but that young German today Is the

here, would be recognized instantly rs one
