in and the serious little questioning face of
him, made Miss Thompson take him in her
arms and kiss him, though this was against
the rules.
1t came to him in various ways, now that
he had got on the track, how different his life
was from other boys There were other chill
dren that lived as he did, more or less; but
there were other children-lots and lots and
lots of other children-that had exciting adj
ventures and lived as his father had. He
voiced it to little girl who was one of the
farmers children, and had strayed to the part
OF the woods where he was playing Miss Thomp-
son close beside him.

NO" she said She added proudly, He
isn't poor either"
Il wish my father wasn't rich" he told her.
She stared at him. wide eyed. because every
body around there knew, of course all about
Jeffrey. and thought he was the luckiest little
boy in the world.

can't have any fun"
1t was at this point that Miss Thompson
proposed to walk farther on. She always had
something to propose if by chance he got into
conversation with anyone.
SINCE the day of his great vision, Jeffrey
grew increasingly restless. The heart of
him hungered for freedom, for action. He
hated to have to tell them all the time what

produced a decided effect-a most wonderful
effect.
"A terrific explosion followed which almost
knocked us from the tree. and the pack of
wolves nearly exterminated. When the
smoke drifted away. we saw wolves dead and
wounded lying about in all directions, and

Those that had escaped death or mutilation
had run away in terror.
I'VE climbed down from the tree. ran to the
house for the AK and Ratchet and killed more
wolves in five minutes than / have ever killed

ignited by friction, or a lighted piece of gun

After we had killed the wounded wolves
l think there were eight of them,-we stood IN
amazement, hardly able to believe that we
were alive, when suddenly were aroused to
consciousness by the corn song of Solomon.
We went into the stable to feed him. and found
that sagacious donkey as calm and quiet as if
nothing at all unusual had occurred.

He had learned early to keep his imagin-
ings to himself which after all is difficult, be-
cause it is SO much more fun to play make
believe right out loud. His idea of Micky
had grown more and more definite. 1t was
almost as if Micky said to him, when he went
off meekly to one task or pleasure after an
other:
Il wouldn't stand for that!'
He made believe all the time that Micky
was with him. he saw things through Micky S
eyes.
Where are the fellows?" Micky would say
to him. Where's the fun?"
When Jeffreys would say, We'll. I've got
an engine that runs on track" he would
have to remember that Micky once had a
water wheel that really ground things-and
made it himself!
Soon it got to be that while he was walking
demurely beside Miss Thompson, he often
was not listening to her at ALL but making up
conversation with Micky. He knew that he
made up this conversation himself; but some
how it seemed real to him. 1t was certainly
Micky who put an idea into his head one after
noon when it was Sanders's turn to accom-
pany him on his outdoor play.
Sanders was scouting round for a squirrel,
whose habits he was telling Jeffrey. and Jeffrey
talking to Micky all the time, as usual was
paying no attention. Sanders's back was
turned. when Micky said to Jeffrey:
If you slip through that hole in the fence
you'll be in long meadow, and there is sort
of little ditch which we hide in, and then
we'll run away,-not for good, of course, but

hoofs elevated at an angle indicating that their
owner was trying to stand on his head. The
hoofs were shod with sharp steel calks for ice

unfortunate as to become acquainted with
them.
Again and again the wolves attacked the
brave donkey; but his heels soon taught them
caution, and they became wary They, how
ever. kept up the battle, and it seemed that
Solomons fate was sealed; for he could not

three wolves would effect an entrance, and
they would pull poor old Solomon down to his
death.

Cattle receipts last week We're $4,000

that cattle from Kansas pastures are
now about all marketed, or have been

cattle from the Southwest and West
from a strong competition and should
help the market on them. The run
from Quarantine territory is also
small which practically leaves the
market for grass cattle to be supplied
entirely from the panhandle and from
the mountain ranges. The supply to-
day is 5000 head, re luced somewhat

yesterday afternoon at the Brishaih

rionully interesting program was given
by Mrs. Annie Wells Cannon. who took
for her topic. Pioneer Literature and
Writers,' Mrs. Cannon began with
remarks upon the influence exeited by
literature, and how the beliefs, customs
and chaIacteristics OF peoples and peri
DDS were expressed in 1t, then showed
now The pioneer literature of Utah
spoke for the beliefs and the same
elements OF the founders OF Utah. The
predominant theme was religion, ana II
was this chiefly which found express
sion in the early day literature. She
made the remark that it was noticeable
that Utah art and music had
fuller ana more famous recos-
milton at home and abroad than
literature. and had wondered at
this fact. Mrs. Cannon explained
this according to her belief, on
the argument that as the literature so
far had been chiefly of religion for
the most part unpopular, that no Won
der could exist save that so much
should have been done and have sur
Nived. She then paid a tribute TO the
pioneer writers. and their works, show
ing that the themes We're worthily eX-
pressed and for that reason valuable
she cited particularly the song writer's,
whose works exist chiefly in the L. d.

and scientific works of Orson aud Par

The president Mrs w. Horne, then
called upon Mrs. r. j. Wells for re-

address IN which she gave interesting
personal "reminiscences of some OF the
writers mentioned by Mrs Cannon,
Chiefly Eliza H. Snow, with whom she
was Intimately acquainted. She also
knew Sarah T.. Carmichael. the most
gifted OF Utah writers. She told of
the founding of the Woman's Expon-
emit and said II was the oldest woman's
magazine west of the Mississippi. She
also told Of the Philosophical society
founded in pioneer days for the study
of literature and science. and stated
that this was really the first literary
society established IN Utah, having its
inception as early as 1852, five years
after the arrival Of the pioneers in
Utah. She gave many interesting rem
iuiscences of the Period dealing With
the efforts Of the people to keep un

Utah writers Were sung by the society
