Dear Preston the Both of January
took the train for Tucker to spend
the fifty-seventh anniversary Of my
wedding day. My daughter, Mrs. Edith
Powell, met me at Tucker with a sleigh,
and drove three miles in binding
snow storm up Tie Fork, to the. home
of my granddaughter. Mrs. Hannah T.
Williams, who had prepared feast OF
good things, including a real English
plum pudding, mince pies, ETC., etc.
The mince meat was of her own manu-
facture. The only fruit they raise in
Tie Fork is cedar berries and pine
cones, but the pies were not made from
them. Alma j. Powell enlivened the
occasion with electromagnetic.
Conan Reese and family are staying
at the asphalt mines at the head of Tie
Fork waiting for spring for further de-
velopment of the mines.
They have the advantage of us in the
valley in not having any quarrelsome
neighbors to annoy them.
There are four men working at the
Autograph quarry in Tie Fork under the
direction of Mr.. Voorhees,.
Two rows of box cars were standing
on siding at Tucker when Forrest
Benedict and some companions amused
themselves by jumping across the space
between the two trains, when Forrest
fell and broke his arm and jaw, and
otherwise disfigured his face. His
mother was just starting to the hospi-
tai at Provo with him when l arrived.
His brother, Floyd Benedict, was just
recovering from crushed foot, which
had confined him to the house for seven
weeks.
Tucker is plentifully supplied with
measles and other good things at the
present time.
After sleigh riding up and down the
canyon in two or three snow storms,
and otherwise enjoying myself l re-
turned home last Friday feeling rested
up and ready for business at the old
stand.
May The Press continue to press on
in the good work of advocating every
thing that is for the building up of our
progressive city, is the wish of

WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH 1T.
Beqaar's Plans for Expenditure OF
Aims Just Received.

He was a beggar, with old, worn
clothes, unwashed face, unkempt hair
and unbrushed shoes. He waded up
to the counter of bank in Lombard
street and told, between his sobs,
tears, groans and signs, how his stom-
ach yearned for bite of bread. A
sympathetic clerk drew forth a new
shining three-penny bit, which he laid
kindly and gently into the beggar's
quivering and blackened hand.
NOW, my poor friend, what do you
propose to do with that money!" Sc
riously inquired the generous clerk.
The beggar looked down at his
soiled and tattered garments. He
scanned his benefactor curiously for a
moment, and then, in tremulous tone,
said:
Young man, you see me as I am,
wearing the habiliments of an outcast.
Yet 1 am honest, and will give you
q truthful answer. shall first go and

nous French physician, DR.. Martinez.
who writes of promiscuous baby-kiss-
ing in his Archives de Medicine des
Enfants.'
To kiss a woman may be to show
evidence of soul or soulfulness, sug-
gests the doctor, hut to indulge in
promiscuous kissing in BABYLON is to
provide the evil gods who reign in
Tartarus with an easy method of in
nlcting haleful ills upon the sons of
men. Fur, says the heartless medico,
the little round-eyed mite is nothing
less than a sink of contagion And
whenever you kiss one you are liable
to fall 4 victim to one or all in the
following interesting catalogue of ills
to which our ignoble flesh is heir:
Scarlet fever, measles, whooping-cough,
tuberculosis, smallpox, nursemaids' lip,
scrofula, nasal catarrh, galloping
chorea, quinsy, maxillary tetanus, bac-
terial nose, mumps, nettlerash, collie,
panada poison, capillary tongue and
tonsilitis.
AS everybody knows, the doctor
says, disease causes most havoc among
the very young and the very old. 1t
is not well, therefore, he suggests,
that the extremely aged should be al
lowed to fondle or kiss babies, and as
much for their own sake as for that
of the little ones, for each may COM
municate to the other the germs that
put the human animal beyond further
interest in mundane affairs. The
theory is carried even further in re-
gard to the choice of ones associates.
1t is well-known that people in ex-
IRENE old age derive an increase of
vitality and considerable rejuvenation
from association with those who are
in the bud of youth. The law of COM
pensation nevertheless exerts its in
evitable influence, and what the aged

COMING OF AGE IN AFRICA.
Initiating the Young as FuII-FIedged
Members of a Tribe.

All the peoples in the world have
been given to marking the coming of
age of their young folk with some kind
of ceremonial. In central Africa this is
quite a serious business. A few of the
customs in use among certain tribes
are horrible; but in the main they
show kind Of good sense.
Among the Yao people, the principal
figure in all the initiation or coming
OF age mysteries is man called the
RATHER of the tails. He makes play with
a bunch of wildcat tails, wildcats be-
ing creatures which play leading
part in the witch doctors medicines.
This official communicates all kinds
of knowledge to the young ideas Of his
tribe during the couple of months de-
voted to their initiation ceremonies.
He lectures on the customs of the
tribe and on morals. He teaches un-
selfishness, for instance, and among
these tribes the man who refuses to
share his food with another is ieered
at as "uninitiated."
