 Salt Lake City has the finest capi- tol building I have seen In any state, made so, the guide informed us, of Georgia marble. At this Georgia suueeIed and applauded loudly, but Alabama, always reAdy, sniffed and handed back, 'Pshaw! That's noth- ing!

Brigham Young must have been a. remarkable man. Besides founding a city and amassing great wealth, he had 19 wives, 52 children and IS mothers-in-law. His fifteenth and sixteenth wives were sisters, and one wife was a sister to Mrs. Grover Cleveland. When he died he loft to each wife s20,oo0 and home. To each child $1O,00o and home, and to each mother law $5.000 and no

 as impressive during my trip and that was the beautiful municipal
