The Best Letter.

You may write thousand letters to
the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter that you
love her more and more,
You may praise her grace and beauty
in thousand glowing lines
And compare her eyes of azure with
the brightest star that shines.
If you had the pen of Byron you would
use 1t every day
In composing written worship to your
sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome to
an older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she loves the best
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming,
and when writing TO your love
You will rave about your passion,
swearing by the stars above;
Vowing by the moons white splendor
that the grille you adore
Is the one you'll ever cherish as no
maid was loved before.
You will pen full many promise on
those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to in the
married years to come
But much more precious letter,
bringing more and deeper bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner where
she held you years ago.
And regardless Of its diction or its
spelling or its style,
And although its composition would
provoke a critics smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it
becomes q work Of art,
Stained by tears of joy and sadness as
she hugs it to her heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, look
wherever you may roam,
Is the letter to your mother from her
boy away from home.
Prank M. Vancil.

IN the possible event of the mail
contract between st. George and Lund
being let in accordance with the re-
cent advertisement, it would be most
important to secure the construction
of bridges over two or three of the
turbulent streams in the vicinity of
Bellevue, which just now are making
life a misery for automobilists thru
that section Of the country. 1t is stat
ed on good authority that the MAORI
ty of automobiles that have attempted
to cross these streams recently have
had their carburetors flooded with
water, killing" their engines and
outside assistance has been necessary
to effect crossing. Ash Creek is
the largest Of these streams, and it is
learned that work on bridge for this
stream is already under way, but
there are two or three others that
ought TO be bridged, else the mail
may at times have TO wait for the
water to recede before they can be
crossed in safety. And whether a
change in the mail route makes this
necessary or not, the safety Of the
general travel demands that these
bridges be constructed.

Merely Cleptomaniacs. orr

We are sorry to say that there are
some little, mean, characterless pill
ferers developing in Cedar City, that
have come into prominence during the
past year or two. One Of these thieves
possessed himself of a valuable gun
from the wagon Of j. r. Richards af-
ter he came in from the mines the 9TH
er evening. Another, or possibly the
same one, has q rubber, wire-wrapped
hose that the editor Of The Record
loaned 10 the Sports committee of the
county fair last fall, and when taken
was at the home of Thomas Dix. Yet
another had the immaculate nerve to
come onto our lot and swipe wheel
barrowl Some of these "stinkers"
would steal the thorns from Death
Valley cactus with their bare feet.
Whether they are merely cleptoman-
iacs, or whether they are in need and
too lassitudenarious TO. work, we can
not say. Many other people COM
plain Of like treatment. One thing is
certain: Some Of them are going to
be caught one Of these fine days and
made an example Of for the good Of
others having like propensities. 1t is
really shame that in quiet little
college town like Cedar, where there
are no saloons or other dens Of vice
we should have such characters as
this. An out upon them! All honest
citizens should assist in bringing them
to justice, for the good of the town.
