Ahe mormon bishop Was frightened at
the speed.
From the Chicago Record. Speed
was once demonstrated on a western
road In a fashion TO curl the hair Of
AZ least one old Mormon bishop. The
ehurchman considered Il phenom-
enon. and got on the train as quickly
as he could. He had bull-Whacsed

and. strange TO say. had never ridden
on a railroad train until the time when
he entered upon his trip from Green

lie had never before seen anything so
swim. and he was scared. About
twelve miles from Ogden he asked the
conductor Tor the time Of day. and was
told that Il vas 7.35. he Impressed
this time forcibly on his mind. Now.
Tor a wonder tie western connection az
Ogden was quickly made. and after
the lapse Of but a few minutes the
San Franclsco-tound travellers wcrc on
their way Calliornlaward. Ogden had
been left behind only a few miles. and
the train was vhooplng along az a be-
hind-time rate Of speed when the old

said.

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 a Wild cry and made
