We recall our young days, when
we observe the boys playing mar
bles in the park. What joy there
was in playing "knuckle down" or
fudge and then come out of the
game with few ahead. Then, when
the number on hand would warrant
it, what comfort there would be in
giving Tom Jones Is marbles for
his Agate. But one difference we
notice hen and now. We never
heard an oath during the game, il
was not admissible, 1t was not al
lowed, but that deduction must be
made in Extra we are sorry to cay.
Then we would no more think Of
playing in the park, or highways
on the Sabbath than in doing any.
thing else unlawful. The law pro
tected any disturbance, but GER
tainly last Sabbath morning in our
park was rendezvous for the boy
and his marbles. Without moles-
tation from the big folks he played
his marbles, nothing annoyed him.
Neither the people going to church
nor the beautiful songs being sung
by the choir across the way. The,
were as nothing to him. But say
boys. Please don't do this again
on Sunday.

DEAR BROTHER AND SIsTER:.Re.
ceived your letter several days ago
but Charles and Glenn went to the
gold mines the next day so didn't
get to answer. I don't know ae
there is any news to write.
1t has been very nice weather
here for the last two months. My
chickens lay every day. / have
planted radishes, lettuce and
mustard. thank you tor the seed
you sent.
The boys are after lumber today
We are going to build two bed
rooms on the east of our house and
porch on the west.
Charles is going to send you
come ore just out of the mine not
run through the smelter, copper
gold and lead. 1t would pay you
to come down and go through the
mine and smelter. / would show
you some things that would make
you open your eyes. We were uI
TO the smelter and looked all
through it. The melted rock runs
out of a trough into wheel cart
then dumped. 1t was red hot and
splashed all over. Think of solid
rock melted so it will run.
They employ about 300 men at
the mines, running out thousand
dollars worth of ore day.
We camped out four days and
had lots of fun. Charles Meyer
and Charles White went with us
We climbed the highest mountain
there about 10000 feet above sea
level. We were all day going up
and down. We could see salt lakes
about fifty miles distant, saw the
Rio Grande Valley and river about
seventy-fve miles, were at the
coal mines, also went through the
gate way to the Great Salt Lake.
1t was long range of mountains
called the Razorback Mountains
On top of these mountains ia a
wall of solid rock twenty feet wide
and thirty feet high. 1t looks ae
though it was built there. On the
south side of these rocks, Indians
Mexicans or other races have chisel
ed images of all things on the rock
There is only one break in these
mountains that is passable and the
rock is straight up for forty fee,
and room enough for train to pass
This range of mountains connect
with the mountains on the eas1
and west of US.

Farmers near Sheldon Iowa are
forming a Birds Friend Society.
They have been studying the useful
ness of various birds to their crops
and have discovered that the crow,
blackbird and bluejay aid the far
mer more than they harm him. They
claim that the long prosecuted crow
is really the farmers friend for he is a
great destroyer of insects and seldom
pulls up the corn as is alleged. He
scarcely partakes of corn except in
the autumn. He has been known
to have eaten 200 grasshoppers in 8
single hour.

In an ancient cathedral of Genoa,
a vase of immense value has been
preserved for six hundred years. It
is cut from single emerald; is 12g
inches in diameter and 81 inches in
height. Tradition has it that it is
one of the gifts which the Queen Of
Sheba presented to King Solomon.
1t is kept under several locks, the
keys of which are in different hands
and are rarely exhibited in public.
When, by an order Of the Senate, it
is allowed to be placed on exhibition
it is suspended around the neck of
a priest by cord and no one else is
allowed to touch it.
