Joseph Smith.

Joseph Smith, the Mormon
Prophet. was ASA sinated by a
mob at Carthage, H., on june
28th, 1874.
The Prophet of the Latter. Dav
Saints WAS born at Sharon. w..
IN 1905. He received his first
revelation in 1920. and his next
one in 1929. He declared that
an angel had delivered golden
plates or records of prehistoric
races to him for translation. By
inspired help he published the re.
cords and published them as the
Book OF Mormon. He organized
new church and theory of reli-
-Rion in 1880. The growth and
development OF the church has
been phenomenal. From six
members in "A frontier settlement
IN 1880, today it numbers sever
al hundred thousand members all
over the world. The Mormon
Prophet met with much persecu-
ton III establishing and preach
ing the new doctrines, which cul-
minated in the martyrdom ofthe
Prophet and his brother Hyrum
in 1914.
Joseph Quincy, the noted lect-
urer visited Joseph Smith at Nau-
VOC shortly before the Prophet
was killed. He gives a very in
teresting account of his interview
III which he says that very posi-
bly, the future historian who is
considering the work and devel.
opment OF the nineteenth century
will make the declaration that
the greatest light of the nineteen
tn century was Joseph Smith,
the Mormon Prophet.

Ice boating is favorite sport
among the owners of that type of
craft on Weber pond. but 1t is said
that one of those who got started a
little early in the season came to grief
some time Wednesday. The boat had
been put in first-class shape and ready
for the seasons sport. People had
been fishing on Weber pond, and it
is supposed that this was one of the
reasons why the gentleman who came
to grief thought that the ice was thick
enough to hold. Anyway, TO make a
long story short, he got out on the ice
directly back of the power house. All
went we'll for short distance, when
without warning, the ice broke and
away went the ice boat, sails and all,
to the bottom of the pond. Did the
owner escape without a ducking? No
one seems to know for a fact. If they
do they are pretty close friends of the
unfortunate man, and are very reti-
cent. The water where the boat went
down is said 10 be about 20 feet deep
and the owner is likely to experience
some difficulty in bringing it to the
surface.

The war was now ended and as soon
as possible the grateful people elected
Grant president. He served two terms
with much dignity and nobility OF char
acter. and then made a trip around the
world. thus enabling other nations to
take a hasty look at the greatest soldier
since Napoleon. He then retired to New
York, where in his old age a publishing
house failed and ruined him and he was
attacked by cancer of the throat.
Grant now began a battle which made
the engagements In the Wilderness seem
trivial and comfortable Fighting off
death as sternly as he had ever fought
off Lee. he kept him waiting outside
until he had completed his memoirs in
two large volumes and had thus insured
his family against want. The nation
watched the battle with thrObbing sus-
pense and when ne won the fight and
leaned back to die in peace, it was felt
that no victory OF the great war had
done him So much honor.

Ulysses S. Grant
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of at Good Old SiWash.7

T Ulysses S. GRANT is the worlds
greatest illustration OF what lack
of perseverance can accomplish
and also what can be done by sticking
everlastnglv to it.
Grant VAS born in Ohio, April p, 1922,
and because his father knew congress
man he went to West Point and became
a soldier, standing at the foot Of his
class in mathematics. French, tatting
and bed making. but riding a horse IN q
manner which produced the prOfOUndest
respect in said horse. On his graduation
he fought in the Mexican war and then
gave up the army and went into buSi-
ness.
Grant became a tanner and might have
become a great and rich man in aboI5
300 years by this method. But he did
not stick to it. and when the civil war
opened he entered the army again, and
owing to his quiet but inimiJable system
OF reducing the enemy to few scattered
remains, he became Lieutenant general,
the highest honor ever conferred on an
American soldier. and started Tor HLch-
mOnd. If he had been as casual as he
had been in business he would never have
got there, but although for weeks at q
time the air was so full of Confederate
cannon balls that breathing was eX-
tremely difficult, he pushed steadily on
