The white headed Boy,

The phrase 'his mothers white head
ed boy" is as old as the hills in Ire
land. It appears in many Of the Irish
fairy stories of the last century. Irish
mothers who knew good fairies always
kept the secret for the white headed
boy" Of the family. Gerald Griffin in
one of his best short stories years ago
used the phrase as one he had Dor
rowed from an old Celtic book.

Changes.

Charles Pepper, genial and hearty

been resident OF Utah since 1864. until
few years ago. l live thero. but my
heart and interests are here. and always
Will DO. l come here every year to look
after my interests. which arc varied,
but I have sold Popperton and all my
interests there,
ITO a man Of my experiences In Salt
Lake, the present view on Main street
is certainly great change. l recall
when Main street wus the common race
track, and We used to trot and run our
best nags up and down for purses, Tho
first presidency then. In the person OF
Brigham Young, used to drive TO the
corner of Third South and Main 'streets
ln his carriage with several ladies, and
witness and tako great interest In the
races.
Had TO Be Stopped.
'T. grew so fast and furious that 1t
became necessary 20 enact law to
check reckless racing. and have known
men TO be so earnest In racing that they
ran the raco and paid the nue without
question.
"Yes. I was the original and only
butcher in this town and sold beef
steaks to Brigham Young scores Of times.
Beef was plenty and good then. and
prices then would seom strange now.
"I remember well the beginning OF The
Tribune and the papers that proceeded 1t
the Chronicle and Democrat"
Turning to 4 beautiful young matron
seated near, he continued: "This young
lady and her sisters were wee little tots
then, and / carried them In my arms.
or course, I como here every year or
two, and the changes come upon me
gradually, but they are great and nota-
bic changes nevertheless. I always be-
lievcd In the future of this State. and
hope yet TO live to sec her ahead OF all
others,
Few Familiar Faces.
"Old familiar faces? Yes. meet somc
of them, but l miss more, They are
gone, the old familiar faces, and J feel
the weight Of the past growing heavier.
The battle OF life in my best manhood
was made among them, and the feeling Of
their presence comes TO me as l pass
familiar spots, or recall old-timo Incl
dents. They had their weaknesses and
their shortcomings. but they were the
men who made 1t possible for Americans
to live IN Utah
81 am now interested In my property
