A warrior of Europe

A warrior of Europe
Lay dying on the field;
His King had set him fighting
And he had never squealed. Sc
But turning to his comrades,
As he was passing OUT,
He said, 'tWill someone kindly
Say what it was about?''
The answer was bombshell
That burst above his head
And filled the smoking trenches
With dying men and dead.
He heard the roar of battle,
And men around HIM shout
But no one stopped to tell him
What it was all about.
He would have pressed the ques-
ton,
But IN he heard drum.
And following it dimly,
He! came to Kingdom Come.
He ventuFed to the gatweay,
Whence Peter peered without,
But all the question asked him
Was "What was it about?"
The angels focked about him,
Their faces all aglow.
E'A Corporal!" they shouted.
He certainly will know ~
He heard a seraph singing,
And caught the songs of elves.
'I'm sorry. folks" he answered,
'We never knew ourselves.

LEADBETTER SAYS
BUSINESS is GOOD

O. A. Leadbetter Of Hoffman Broth
ers' Loan & Trust company, 22 East
First South, said yesterday:
"The outlook for the real estate sit
uation Is better than 1t has been since
1907, according to my estimate. The
most important event Of the week WAS
the sale Of the D. G.. Jackling residence
at III East South Temple street to
j. Y. Rich, which was closed by our
firm. The price was in the neighbor-
hood Of S21 900. This house was Of tho
colonial order Of architecture, and was
built twelve years ago by Judge w. A.
Sherman
"This week We have closed q number
Of other deals, the majority in MarI-
borough place, between Tenth and Elev-
enth South and Seventh and Ninth East,
owing to the ideal location OF the place
We have now completed six modern
bungalows, costing from $4,000 up, there,
RS the weather will permit. Most of
those have been put up under con-
tract with individuals, and in the spring
and summer we will build a mum Der
Of others for people who have arranged
to occupy the tract.
Summing the situation up, I would
say that the speculative market in Salt
Lake Is considerably better than usual,
and as we are now experiencing the rock
bottom prices, am OF the opinion that
the coming spring and summer will SEQ
quite substantial increase, for the
simple reason that Salt Lake can t

they require close attention on the
