"What is that?" replied the startled

"well, it has been rejected by

four or five rejections to make phe-

Disgust.

A gentleman who 70 member OF
the Meadow Brook Hunt club and de-
lights in horseback riding received a
few days ago a wiry "caydse." or
oow-pony. as they are called In the
northwest. The animal had some
speed and an easy gait, and after rid
ing 1t around the country rodds
few days he rode It ohe evening, with
a party of ladies and gentlemen who
were out for a moonlight canter.
The party split up into couples,
and. while the gentleman in question
would much prefer to have taken the
rear of the line with the lady whose
escort he was. yet the pony devel-
oped an unexpected ambition to lead
the procession. according to the New
York Mail and Express. He let the
"cayuse" have its o#n way, only to
find that the headstronR animal in
sisted on being at least one-half n
length in front Of the horse ridden by
the lady.
There was no holding that pony
back on even terms with the other
horse. 1t pranced about. jumped from
side to side and pulled the bit and
would be quiet only when it had it's
nose well to the front. The lady en-
joyed It immensely, but the gentle
maxwell, he left unsaid many things
which he had planned to say to the
young lady when they started on the
ride. Subsequently the gentleman
found the pony had been used for
racing In the west md had been
trained to Ego to the front and stay
there" ....r

1t was just three weeks ago that
Charles Johnson, a waiter in the Cali

one of the pretty operators in the tel

Utah'S Gretna Green, in Davis county

home from work Wednesday morning,
Mrs. Johnson became a trifie anxious
and later in the day and again in The
evening made a tour of the city, espe-
cially the restaurants, il quest of the
partner of her joys and sorrows. The
search was unaVailing- During her alb
sence, johnson removed his trunk from
the Normandy. It then dawned upon
her that there was something unusual
in his absence. Finally, it was noised
about town that Johnson had disap
peaTed for some unknown reason, and
it was thought he had left the city.
Mrs. Johnson did not go to work yes
terday. She has taken up her abode
at the home of her father, John Y.
Smith, on East Seventh South, leaving
the quarters at the Normandy. During
the afternoon, the landlady at the lat
ter place received a telephone message
from Mrs. Johnson to the effect that
her husband had been called away DIV
the illness Of his mother, and that he
had sent for her to come on. She said
she was going on the evening train.
Mrs. Johnson did not go. She was
still trying to find her husband last
evening, and he was in Salt Lake at 3
o'clock, according to one of his ac-
quaintances- There are rumors of an
other woman in the case.
