And there were ninety Petersens in sizes
all assorted,
escorted
Eight wagons fun of JensenS responded
to the call,
And dozens walked behind because there
was not room for all
Full half a mile Of Olsens stretched, the
Dahlquists just a quarter;
The absence Of the Larsens made the
column one mile shorter
The Ekdahls came on horseback regi-
ment were they;
The Linbergs rode in hayracks. reclining
on the hay.
Not ever in its history had sanpete seen
Over half its population strung out along
the pike
walked but all were fun Of glee;
The guests Of AXel Petersen We're happy
as could be.
But. alas for AxeI Petersen, the father
Of the thought
he had hoped that lots would come, but
he assuredly did not
Suppose that every one he know for many
miles around
Would Join to form the mighty horde
that sought the fishing ground
The caravan was halted when Hansen
And some seized on their tackle TO try
But people Kept arriving in numbers 50
That trouble, serious trouble, was a natu-
raj consequence
It was not thirty minutes before the
people found
There was not room for everyone TO sit
down on the ground.
And the length of Hansen valley was
filled from hill to hill
With a mass Of struggling creatures that
could not be kept still
The horses trod on babies and made the
The mothers got so thirsty they drank
the whole creek dry,
The fathers got so angry they raved and
fought and swOre.
The sun cooked an the fish that lay I'M
covered on the shore.
Twas bad for AxeI Petersen when some
one thought of him;
The frenzied mob decided to rend him
limb from limb.
And nothing less than providence IRE
served him from the thTOng
And let him reach his farm again with
all himself along
BY threes and tours and couples the
people struggled home.
Their curses, loud and bitter, reached up
to heavens dome;
They had no fish. they had no food, no
merriment was there,
But D das faller Petersen was
shouted everywhere

AXel TO his wife

An eastern exchange announces that
sthree girls graduate from Vassar into
matrimony." It IS proper to inquire
why these girls went to Nassar if they
intended to get married as soon as they
finished their studies there. I.
An Indian half breed at Marysvale
has just been given six years in the
penitentiary for stealing fOrty-eight
half-pint bottles of General Funston"
whisky. If he had stolen a similar
amount of General Miles, whiskey it
is reasonable to suppose he would have
got life
A New York court has decided that
a man is not necessarily insane be-
cause he chooses to get married, even
# he is 90 years old He certainly
ought to know his own mind at 80 if
he is ever going to know 1t, but why
not take a look at the lady's head?
The National Association of Dancing
Masters has decided to abandon the
two-step, after declaring it d ''mOngrel
invention" We have not the pleasure
of knowing the members of the Ma
tional Association OF Dancing Masters
but we feel strong enough to ASSURE
them that by appearing on the floor at
Saltair some evening and demanding
the abolition of the twO-step they can
form a correct idea Of how a mOngrel
feels when a bunch Of hrecrackers is
affixed TO him.

The Chicago Record Herald gravely
announces that "woman's perception is
