afterwards said that the characters
which they had made upon the plates
were some of them copied from Chinese
tea chests, while others were variations
of our own alphabet and figures, and
distortions of the usual dollar sign.
Now, in order 10 give look of reality
to the thing, after Joseph had got the
sample plates and made his "transla-

THE REWARD FULLY EARNED,

Merely as a reminder, we desire 10
again call attention to the oher maze
TO The Tribune by Elder Joseph Il
TayIor, Under date of July 30, l9O9,
that practicing polygamist wrote iet-
ter to this paper, In winch the ioi'o"
ing paragraph occurred:

THE GROWING LIST.

II is the duty of The Tribune to re-
cord two other new polygamous mar
riages. in addition to the list already
printed in this paper.
Elder Josiah Hickman testified before
the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections in December. 1904. At that
time he confessed that he had mar
ried plural wife in Mexico in the
year 1890; but there was no suspicion
that he had repeated the offense two
years previous to his testifying at
Washington. It now appears, however,
that in about the year 1902 he unlaw-
fully took as his second polygamous
wife Miss Chloe Palmer. Az that time
the young woman was teaching school
at Ben jamin, Utah county. She is now
teaching school at Custledale, Emery
county. 1t would seem that Elder Hick-
man found little difficulty, and no pun
ishmcnt whatever, following his first
polygamous adventure and that he de-
termined TO engage in another; which
he has done, If our information be cor
rect. We have every reason to believe
that it is so.

IMPOSToR IMPOSED UPON.

Ii is fact that very often the bitter
may be bitten. And it appears, too,
that the greater the faker the more
easily he may be imposed upon.
This thought is suggested through
circumstance that happened to the man
who claimed that he had received from
A heavenly messenger certain golden
plates, from which he 'stransated the
Book of Mormon--namely, Joseph
Smith. Joseph found it to be extremely
difficult to induce any but the ignorant
and superstitious TO credit his story, He
was anxious to gather together any sup
posed evidence which might apparently
tend to confirm the truth of his asser
ton, And so it was that in 1S43 he
hailed with delight a report that lot
of plates had been found in n mound
at Undertook, Illinois, Joseph tried
to get hold of these plates, but failed
for long time. Finally, through a
| man who gave his name as Savage, he
procured the loan of some of them
| Immediately Savage carried them to
Joseph, who set to work to "trans-
late' the characters inscribed upon
the metal In the Millennial Star. vol
ume II, pages Al to 43, Joseph gives
description of the plates, together
with a fac-simile reproduction of two
of them, and goes on to say that the
plates had been discovered lying upon
the breast of skeleton some nine feet
high, and that they contained "the
history of the person with whom they
were found He was a descendant OF
Ham, through the loins of Pharaoh
king of Egypt, and that he received
his kingdom from the Ruler Of HEAVIER
and Earth
On June 30, 1870, man named w
Fugatc appeared before Jay Brown
Justice of the peace in Brown county
Illinois, and made affidavit that Ger
} tain letter then before the justice anc
the affiant was true and correct to hi
own personal knowledge. That lette
stated that the Undertook plates wer,
made by Robert Wiley, Bridge Whitto1
and W Fugate. These men, the lette
goes on to say, had read Orson Pratt :
prophecy that the F'truth is vet t.
: spring out of the earth. - and they de
termined, simply as practical Joke
to turn a trick on the 'fprophcts, seer

MOTHERS DAY" TODAY.

Every day is Mothers Day; and sad
would be the world if 1T were not sos
desolato would be the 6reside, empty
would bo the hearts of the children
and the father, while the babes would
be disconsolate.
But today is made Mothers Day
in a special sense, that all mankind
may do honor and reverence to Moth
erhood in its prime relation to the
perpetuation of the human race, and
to Mothers everywhere as the incarna-
ton of that idea And so considered
the observance of this day can fairly
be termed, as already has been claimed
for il, "the greatest holiday of all. -
The proposal of such holiday was
instantly responded to, first in the
people hearts, and next in official
acts and proclamations by Governors
Utah). In every case there Is ap-
propriate recognition of the fitness O!
setting apart this day as ''Mothers
Day. and in every case there is ex-
preston in Mt terms of the feeling
underlying the movement which led
to the setting apart of this holiday as
remembrance. Among all these trlb~
utes in proclamations, we have seen
none is quite so beautifully conceived
and expressed as that which comes from
Governor Harmon of Ohio. the chief
portion OF which is as follows:
No element in either national or do
mestic life is more important than the
mothers of our country. Home virtues
are the safeguards of our existence. Our
mothers arc their highest eXemplifica-
tions. How better realize this and how
better renew the early influence Of either
a departed or 4 living mother than by
setting apart A day for her whose life
was full of denial and self-sacriiice for
her sons and daughters? No Memorial
day can be richer in personal experience
than one in which we hear again a
mothers voice that Is stllled and feel
the touch of her vanished hand, or II she
be living. give her the day with your
presence in loving reunion, one day for
the many she gave you. or send her a
line of greeting warmer than you have
been wont TO do.
No one can fail to give heartfelt
response 10 these noble and emincntly
praiseworthy expressions They inter
pret in language the honest feeling OF
every one who has known Mother Z
loving care; while those who have not
are vet in the same state Of feeling
because they know by reason of thei
human nature and their observation
and experience, both their own ant
that shared with others, that the sentl
ments and feelings are upfailingly true
This date Will be perpetuated a!
Mothers Day, as it should be. Anc
| it will be becoming in all TO Joir
in the veneration which will be thu
peculiar feature of the days observ
ances, in the just and deserved tribut'
TO the Mothers. God bless them ever,
onci Their paths should be made pleas
ant while they dwell among us, givini
them such foretaste as we can of tn
joys that await them in Paradise, whicI
is their well.earDcd inheritance.
