What a beautiful day iit was I And how everything seemed to thrill with the joy of liv- 1 ing. There is one place I visited, finely located, and distinguished from oth ers by an immense expanse of shin gle roofs, covering, it seemed to me, almost an acre of barn room; and I 1 had been told that this place was worth a visit, and, as I was looking for things worth while, Jdrovc into the yard to look the place over. Fences out of repa:r no gates, fruit j trees acres of them untrimmed, , grass growing thick and close about f the foots, with bark torn in scores i of places by the teeth of sheep and "j horses. Farm machinery, thousands ; A dollars worth; discarded and rust-" J ing junk in every direction; but I en- W tcrcd the barn horrors and desola- tionl A great, dismal damp hole un- j dcr the roof with not a brace or sup- j port standing true to line; no floor, ,j id the earth tramped into stiff dark ) brown mud; some corners are fenced 1 H DON'T PAY $3.5 FOK THE SAKE LAMPS WE SELL FOR Sa.50 BUCKLE. &L SONb UTAH. 1 HI V
