showing talent for quick observation
and facile expression, lie obtained an
interview with President Joseph i.
Smith. and we clip the following from
his account of the conversation;
"We frankly admit that we never
have met kindlier more fatherly ana
lovaola gentleman than President
Smith of the Mormon church. AL
though nearly of the age Of three score
and ten, he does not look 1t by fifteen
years. He Is spry and active, clear Of
sight and mind. lie shook our hands
warmly babe US sit, and heartily well
comed us TO the CITY OF Saints. lie
spoke with mild and gentle. but firm
and steady voice, aud looked US square
ly I'm the eye while talking TO us; ana
altogether made us feel at home ana
comfortable in his presence, lie hoped
that we might enjoy our visit I'm Utah,
that our soj0urn might be iilled with
pleasant Incidents, that the people
would receive us kindly that no harm
or accident or sickness would interfere
with our visit, and that We would de-
part In peace and with our UNDER
standings enlightened as to conditions
among his much abused people. Upon
learning that we had not yet visited
'saltair' on the Great Salt Lake, he eX-
CuEed himself for o moment, TO return
with complimentary trip passes TO THIS
wonderful bathing and dancing resort
eighteen miles west Of the city, which lS
hereinafter described. President Smith
IS one Of the grand old men Of this
nation. He il gentleman OF high re-
flnemeut of broad ana liberal views
and magnetic personality We shall
cherish the brief visit with him always
with fond and pleasant remembrance,
the more perhaps because we iound
him so different In looks, in actions,
and IN that indescrlbable personal en-
vlronmcnt which always surrounds
great and good men, from the man we
expected to meet and Of whom 80 much
stuff has been printed
The gentleman also had an Interview
with Senator Reed smoot, and was very
favorably impressed. Here arc some
Of his remarks on that matter;
"The senator treated us very cour-
teously. and was very frank and enter

the facts as stated, w9 cannot but see
how that membership IN the senate OF
