AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews: Aunt
Busy is saying a great deal about
her Ogden boys of late, but they are
at present her most important nephews,
though of course they have always been
in Aunt Busy's good graces most par
ticularly.
Aunt Busy had the very great pleas
IRE last week of seeing her Ogden
nephews and they are the very dear
est of boys.
The Ogdenites gave a grand concert
for the elegant new church.
Aunt Busy thought she would like to
attend. so she hurried away to her
train and reached Ogden about twenty
minutes before the concert began. OF
course by the time she reached the
church it was quite impossible to OBJ
tain seat, so many being there, but
Aunt Busy-fat as she is-managed to
crawl through the throng and finally
reached the gallery. there to find every
seat occupied. But off in one corner
she spied a group of boys. They were
such bright looking. well-behaVed lit
tie fellows that Aunt Busy knew at
once they were Father Cushnahans
own dear boys. so she went over near
them and at once every boy rose 70
offe, is chair. Well, Aunt Busy IS
pretty fat. but she really only needed
one GIdlT. 10 ntI great AG5ACA Gil -
lads disappeared-in fact, they all
seemed to go away back and sit down
somewhere" all but one. One dear boy
remained seated on the railing right
hack Of Aunt Busy's chair. And who
do YOU think he was? Why, one OF
Aunt Busys very dear nephews, Rob
ert Gunnip. And what a dear little
gentleman he is! Aunt Busy forgot all
about being there alone, so well was
4-,1l all
about dear Father Cushnahan, all
about the beautiful church, and pointed
out the dear Ogden nephews. He was
a very tired little boy, too, having as
sisted all day in the church. He viii
always be fondly remembered by Aunt
Busy. She has never before found
boy more entertaining and agreeable.
Courtesy to visitors seems to be char
acteristic of all residents Of Ogden,
both young and old.
How Aunt Busy did enjoy seeing all
her nephews! They are just like she
imagined they were. She had very
quiet laugh all to herself, too, about
some of the boys. The poor fellows
We're very good, and it is hard to keep
real quiet, so a few of them were
whispering and soon one lad was taken
with fit giggles"' is the only
word Aunt Busy knows. Sitting IN
front Of them were few cross old
ladies, who failed to understand he
whispers or the "giggles," so they
turned around most unexpectedly and
scolded the dear chaps pretty severe
lr. Aunt Busy felt it her duty to
look shocked, too, and she was almost
successful when one of the nepneWS
looked at her solemnly and wilked, so
foolish old Aunt Busy laughed also,
and the scandalized old ladies looked
al her instead of the boys, thereby
saving them from more scoldiug.
Well, Aunt Busy must bring this
say to close. She must ask all
other nieces and nephews to pardon
ner for giving all her attention to the
Ogden boys of late, but if they knew
them as she does, they would think
the boys merit all the attention given
tNem
Aunt Busy has several letters from
the Ogden nephews yet to publish, but
they viii appear soon. She hopes the
boys viii have perfect success in their
work for the dedication of the church
on Dec. IA. Aunt Busy hopes to tell
al the nieces and nephews about the
grand ceremony. Your loving
r. S.-She nearly forgot to tell YOU
something very important. She asked
Aer friend Robert about Dick" Nor
rissey and Bob" Adams "Oh. said
Robert they are big boys now; there
.Aey are, down stairs" Aunt Busy
looked and saw two tall young gen.
1emen, wearing dignihed coats, with
collars that were surely six inches
nigh Oh, the dear fellows" muir
INJURED Aunt Busy, and she looked
lriHe sad, because she at last knew
why dear old Dick" and dear old
Bob never write TO her any more.
Ihey are big boys now Well. Aunt
Busy says God bless them. always,
because they were dear little fell
lows, and she is sure that they will
EVER be good, brave, true. manly big"
