prints. Mr. Garnett returned little
while ago from u journey through the

took place when he asked the way from
one village to another is below:

"Oh, you are going to Tsouhsein, are

From Chiningehow. Please, Is this

"Oh, you've come from Chiningchow,
have you? Are you going into the city
of Tsouhseln?"
Finally the native would admit that
he did not know the way TO Tsouhsein.
AT the entrance to another village an
ancient villager was asked what the
name of the place was. After asking
IN turn who Mr.. Garnett was. where he
had come from, where he was going
and why he wanted an inn, he consid-
cred the original question, when repeat

urAHs EAR1Y MORALITY.

Concerning the morality Of the early
settlers Of Utah-a question that has
been raised again By one Of the hired
slunderers Of the Church-we may quote
a statement made years ago by James
w Barclay. ESD, member of the
British Parliament In an article in the
Nineteenth Century, published in Lon
don. After giving official statistics
relating to criminal conditions, he said;
''rhesc figures conclusively prove that
the Mormons are "A sober, law-abidine

Such testimonies are woth a great
