"MERRY CHRISTMAS" Do we realize
how much pleasure is expressed in those
two little words on this day, the ami.
versary of the birth of our Saviour
Fathers and mothers greet their little
ones with the happy expression when
they appear in the morning, eager TO
know what Santa Claus has left in their
stockings. They remember it all
through life and never forget to use il
when IL comes their turn 60 welcome the
childish prattle Of their children. The
thoughtful man greets his loving wife
with the same words upon his lips when
he awakens TO the light of day on this
thrice happy morning. The dutiful son
or daughter 60 the aged father or mother
gives worlds of comfort when "a Merry
Christmas !" is cheerfully uttered.
Friends greet friends the world over
with the same words In every Christ
ian country on the globe the custom has
been followed for centuries and will be
followed for time immemorial, and the
world is brighter and better for 1t. A
Merry Christmas TO every reader Of The
Record.

SEVERAL EXCITING BOUTS.
The Wrestling Tournament on Thursday
Night of Last Week Very interesting.

The wrestling tournament at the OPP
era house on Thursday night of last
week proved to be a very good enter
tainment and those in attendance were
given their moneys worth. In the 1873
pound class there were six contestants.
The first bout was between Englemann
and VanV alkenberg which was won by
VanV alkenberg. Sprague and Moore
then contested for honors and Sprague
easily won out, after which VsnValken-
berg and Gongwer wrestled for three
minutes, VsnValkenberg winning. In
the finals VanValkenberg and Sprague
put up an even match until Spragus got
the hammer lock on his opponent who
gave up the struggle. In the 1873 pound
class DR. Erwin secured decision over
Todd after a hard tussle.
The Reakes Bros. were to give an
exhibition wrestle but they went at it in
dead earnest, so fast and furious in fact
that the judges interfered and called the
bout off

Camp TimpanogOs. Utah, Aug 90
Fred lie Roy Howe. jr., a deaf and
dumb boy about II years of age, is the
mascot of battery A. and baby of the
camp. He accompanied the battery
from Salt Lake. His earnest, sober
face is a familiar one TO almost half
the men in camp. as they saw him in
the Philippines. 1t was there that they
1rst met him; grew e love him for his
many acts of herOism and kindness.
and learned to pity him because of his
misfortune.
Howe went to the Philippines as a
stowaway to fight with the boys as
best he could. Before he left the ISL
ands for this country he had sustained
sixteen wounds, seven of which were
received in twenty-four hours while
carrying water for the Utah boys as
they lay on the firing line.
on that day he received a shot
through the throat. carrying away the
tonsil, which paralyzed the vocal
chords. The discharge of a gun broke
the drums of both ears, making him
totally deaf.
Howe is a familiar figure in camp.

boy for the camp, so &c speak, carry
