When you take tempting lunch to-
the Scared scratched but happy little
fellow propped up with big pillows in his
bed today don't scold him because the
cats tail is shorter than 1t was yesterday
morning or because the front lawn IS lit
tered with scraps of red paper or because
the fence has holes in il or because the
tad, himself, wears a black eye has little
skin on his legs and less on his hands.
Pat him on the cheeks if they are not too
tender and ask him if he had a good
time. Many little boys and many little
dogs are today tempted to find cOnSOia-
ton in the fact that there is but one
Fourth of July in a year. If there were
more arnica and lotions and bandageS and
salve would soon be as scarce as radlum
and just as costly. Thousands OF dollars
was spent in Salt Lake yesterday for fire
crackers The brave little pop of the
''baby-cracker'' and the roar OF the giant
bomb kept up constant racket during
the entire day The noise commenced
early Tuesday evening and when mid
night rolled around the valley was filed
with the nerve-wrecking racket of eX-
ploding powder. All through the night
the small boy and the old boy and in
between boys" touched off bomb after
bomb. When daylight arrived the din WAS
on in earnest and il was late last night
when the last explosion marked the end
of the one hundred and thirtieth indie
pendence Day. There was no special pro-
gramme arranged yesterday. The resorts
held appropriate exercises, which were en-
jOyed and applauded by thousands. Each
person spent the day as he pleased and
everyone had good time.
Many Leave City.
The weather mans announcement that
the day would be cloudy did not cause
anyone to stay at home in anticipation OF
a storm. Early in the forenoon street cars
were carrying hundreds TO the resort de-
pots. By noon half the city's inhabitants
was divided among the pleasure grounds.
As stores and business institutions were
not open, the crowds at the resorts and
about town reached numbers breaking all
former records for this season. The
Park City. Bingham, Eureka, Provo. Og-

sports. Bingham had a thrilling contest.

| teams played at that camp. The gams
was won by Salt Lake by the decisive
score of 10 to 0. Eureka and Ogden
played at the former town. Eureka Won
this game by a score of 10 =
| The mountain streams in Parley's, Big
and Little Cottonwood, Provo and other
canyons reached by railroads coaxed wor-
~ and nervousness from the tired city
