with the Provo cloth growing rapidly
into favor The wholesale tailors of
that state are now buying large quanti
ties as well aa the wholesale dry goods

UNCLE
From Frank Plastino
To tho Editor of THE EVENING DISPATCH
I noticed an item in vour paper last
evening about Mr and Mrs Revel and
myself and in view of all the facts I
deem it nothing more than right that
all the facts should be told
I have known this family since Au
gust 1893 At that time they were in
destitute circumstances and I gave
Mrs Revel work and have enabled her
to support herself and husband ever
since and have loaned them money
Revel has visited my house and we
have been good friends and my door
has always been open to him to stay
with me as long as he desired At
one time they talked of returning to
France and I helped to raise money to
take them but they concluded not to
go
Mr Bonnett and I are good friends
and be invited me to stav with him
while in Provo and protested against
ma going to a hotel and had it not
have been for him I would not have
been at his house on Thursday night

AN AID TO MILKING
The Collegian Advice to His Father Which
Resulted Disastrously
A college student in one of our west
ern states returned home after his course
was finished to find that his father a
clergyman with a small salary was
eking out his living by running a small
farm One of the adjuncts of the farm
was a cow a pretty good animal which
however had a strong aversion to being
milked
Here was an opportunity for a display
of tho lately acquired knowledge of the
juvenile collegian
Father said he Professor says
if one will place a weight upon a cows
back it will make her give down the
milk
The reverend gentleman favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor G
decided to try the simple remedy In
stead however of placing a weight I
upon the cows back the clergyman I
placed himself upon it But then he
answered tho purpose The cow how i
ever was still obstinate
Tie my legs under the cow said
the father to his son I
Tho son did so But the cow unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings manifested her displeasures by
rearing and plunging entirely unmind
ful of tho dignity of the personage
astrido her spinal column It was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two bipeds concerned in the transac
tion
Cut the rope cut the rope shout
ed Mr V to his dutiful son meaning
tho rope by which he was attached to
the cow
But the son being somewhat excited
cut the rope by which the cow was fas
tened to tho stanchion At once avail
ing herself of tho liberty thus offered
the cow took an unceremonious exit
from the stable and down through the
street sho went Tho minister accom
panied the cow but in a manner not ex
actly befitting the dignity of his profes
sion
As it happened ono of the sisters of
the congregation was on tho street as
tho race was in progress Surprised at
such a sight the good sister cried out
Why Brother V where aro you go
ing
His sense of tho ludicrous coming to
his aid Brother V shouted back The
Lord and the cow only know I dont
The clergyman was eventually rescued
from his awkward perch and never at
tempted the feat again Voice
