Perhaps they view their fancy tales
In the same airy light that Dr. T. c,

CARDS the story he has been telling
about Senator smoot, He recently
related an alleged lnciden, Of that gem
tleman's interruption Of O Methodist
meeting several years ago, and Of HIS
arrest by order OF Tln When the
Deseret News exposed the falsehood Of
the tale. Dr. Iliif explained in letter
that II was "merely told by way Of

"If you will come with me on Mon

to have occurred"
II am going away tonight But are

YES, they are"
"Oh, but we would not believe them,
you know, And we won't believe you
without proofs"
docs It not strike you that It Is Or,
Mcmillan who should furnish proofs Of
his accusation, not that should prove
