Ogden, Utah, Jan. 10.
Dear Aunt Busy-I can tell by your
letter in the Intermountain Catholic
that you love your Ogden boys better
than any of your nephews, or than all
your nephews together. That is right.
You are, almost as good to us as if you
were our grandmother. | have oI,en

boys, but seldom, if ever, have l heard
of an aunt being as good as you are.

Will do as Father Cushnahan told US
last Sunday, make everything bright,
happy and cheerful for those around
us. BY the way, Aunt Busy, 1 am kind

right to have Father Cushnahan taken
away from US. The only way l can
make myself excuse this is to say tuaJ

Please tell the truth. You must re-
member that we Ogden boys are as
loyal to our beloved pastor as he is to
us. And If you want to know how
loyal that is, you can find out from

would Ike to know his name. l be-
lieve he is made of the right ingredi-
entS. When he writes again [ hope he
will sign his full name. I would love
to have a little talk with him l am
afraid my letter is too long, but
cannot finish it without telling you we
had a big time this noon over the re-
mains of Mr. Smiths dog. The process
sion was of military type. The orator
of the day was Willie Dean. Goodness,
but we had fun. Your loving nephew,
CLAYTON HERMAN.
Dear Clayton, Aunt Busy laughed
most heartily over your letter, and the
crack in her odd heart" is entirely
healed since hearing from Ogden. She
knows that you are all too sensible TO
become cOnceited when she praises you
so much. Aunt Busy agrees with you,
Clayton, in wishing that the Ogden
would sign his name.
Aunt Busy thinks that you are also
made of the right Ingredients when
you write so truly of your dear. good
pastor, and your tribute to him is well
worthy OF signature. Write soon
again. Clayton.
