ONE EXCEPTION.

At the postoff1ce In an Alabama town
they pointed out the colored janitor as
a man who had had ffty-six wives. AS
he did not seem to be over sixty years
old refused to credit the story. Along
in the afternoon l found him idling at
the door and said to him:
''Sam, don't want to be impertinent,
but I'd like to ask you about a story
heard this morning"
Yes, sah-yes, sah-go right ahead and
ask all about IT," he replied.
II was told that you had been married

"How old were you when you were first
married?"
"Jist twenty, sah."
And what's your age nowr
"sixty-two, sah."
''Then, in the space Of forty two years
you have been married ffty-sfx times.
Why, Sam, that Is almost wife and a
half year. There must be some mis-
take about IT,
The old man scratched his woolly head
and looked around in a perplexed way
for a moment. and then sinking his voice
to confidential tone, he said:

HighschoOl Soldiers Will En-

The Highschool cadets are to give
sham battle in the hills next Mondsv

ing of the battalion. Capt. Webb, com
mandant Of the cadets, has completed
arrangements for the affair Accord
ing to present plans. Capt Lester More
ton will take one-third of the battalion
and march to tho hills north of Salt
Lake. He will fortify a position and

He Jumps to the Rescue Before
His Services Really Are
Required.
STREET RAILWAY COMPANY
MAY BUILD TO GRAVEL PIT
However, Councilman Crabtree
Wanted Ordinance Held
Over Another Week.

Fernie Fernstrom Of the city council
has apparently constituted himself the
especial champion of the Utah Light
and Railway company in that body,
even to the extent of defending the
company before it is attacked 1t is
bis opinion, expressed Monday evening,
that the council is trying IN all the
ways it can to hamper the street rail
way company, and Elder Rulon 5.
Wells, whose relative is manager of the
company, agreed with him.
All this was because a resolution was
adopted requiring the company to take
off of West Temple street, near Mar
ket street, number Of heavy steel in-
tersections piled there, and the same on
North Temple, Because Councilman
O 'Donnell and some others thought the
company had no business 10 use the
street Tor storage purposes, Fernstrom
jumped to the rescue.
The same thing happened when the
long-delayed ordinance giving the com
pany the right to run a line to the Ore
gon Short Line gravel pits came up.
Fernstrom was on hand to defend be
fore any attack was made. The ordl-
nance granting the privileges asked
when the council went over the route
was finally passed though Councilman
Crabtree wanted it to go over until
next week so that some ratepayers who
had asked to be heard might go before
the committee. BY the ordinance the
company is 10 erect and maintain n line
over the following route:
con Fifth North street, from Second
West to Fourth West; thence north on
SAID street and the continuation thereof
north of Ninth North street, to the
county road. thence northwesterly
along the west side of said county road
a distance of nineteen hundred feet,
more or less -
The company is to run cars over this
route at least twice each hour for six
teen hours out of the twenty-four and
to charge only the scent rate, with all
the privileges of transfer enjoyed by
the rest of the system.

tt had been the intention of the pro-

ing The membership will therefore
include electrical, mechanical, civil,
mining, construction engineers, etc, TO
gether with professors in tho schools
and assistants in the different branches.
The object of the organization, as set
forth in the constitution, IS to bring
the engineers of the State into closer
touch with each other, thus subscrvlng
their mutual interests, and TO further
the cause of this branch of science.
From time to time the society Will CON
duet excursions TO various engineering
works and industries. This will ena-
BILE the engineers to behold and inspect
the workings OF the latest devices in
all branches of engineering. One of
the principal features of the meetings,
which will be held twice every month,
Will be the presentation of papers on
timely subjects.
The next meeting will be held on the
night Of June I, and the society's first
banquet will take place June q. There
after these banquets will he held an
