two of her children the president had
driven to the village from Sycamore
Hill to attend church service. as is
their custom on Sunday mornings. Di-
rectly in front of Christ church the

into the driveway leading tothe church
grounds it passed in front of Mccain.
Without proyocatioE the man, with an
offensive oath. demanded to know
whether they wanted the whole road.
This was followed by abusive and pro-

AS the carriage stopped at the church
door the president. greatly annoyed at
the insult offered to Mrs. Roosevelt and
the children. alighted and directed the
attention of the secret service officers
to the man, and ordered that he be
compelled to leave the vicinity of the
church. Mccain hesitated when or
dered to move on, but as an officer
was about to stimulate his movements
he Sprang on his wheel and rode away
rapidly. While the incident was an
nOying to the president and his fam
lily it is his desire that no action be
taken against the man.

A FRUITFUL ROUGH.

The New York Herald of Sunday,
August 9, devotes considerable space
70 "A Huge Mormon Family" mean
ing the progeny Of Lorln Farr Of Ogden,
which is stated to number S26 children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
An excellent portrait appears OF the
patriarch, whose age is eighty-one,
and there are fine cuts of Enoch Farr
his Oldest son. Mrs. John Henry Smith,
his Oldest daughter. Elijah Farr. his
youngest son. Mrs Driver, his youngest
daughter and OF family groups which
are genuine and well executed. A
sketch Of his fife Is given, with an ao-
rount OF his plural marriages and other
particulars, and the story with Illus
ratlons occupies the greater part OF a
page OF that paper.
The reproduction is a little behind
the times for the New York daily, as
the article has appeared In at least two
western papers. but the portraits are
much better and clearer in the Herald
than in the former publications. The
error is repeated that Mr.. Farr pre-
sented his two wives and numerous
progeny TO President Roosevelt, on his
recent visit to ogden, but that is sini-
ply one OF the fictions that writer's OF
sensational articles for Sunday papers
commonly indulge in. The number OF
Brother Fairs children is placed at
thrty-nine, OF whom thirty are living,
and who are healthy, thrifty and pros
porous.
AS evidence that race suicide Is not
popular In Utah and that polygamous
associations do not bring forth the
haneful results popularity supposed. the
account IN the New York Herald is
clear and striking. The number OF
children in one family may be as re-
pagnant as astonishing TO some OF the
non productive fashionables Of the
East. but in a new country where popu-
latlon is desirable. 1t win not seem so
unpleasant. II win call to mind the
song Of the poet concerning this region;
Where children are blessings;
And he who has most,
Has aid for his labor
And riches to boast"
