One man, when others were talking of the oropsof Utah, pot In and said the chief crop of Utah was "ruts," having reference to the sugar beet. Another man was a little fastidious in his pronunciation. It was be who c nducted tbe car, "Seeing Salt Lake City." He was exceedingly careful about small matters, and seldom or never pronounced bis words as do ordinary poor folks. For lnstanoe: He gave, "sev-en-tysev-en" as the year In which Brlgham Young died. Afterward when coming home, the poorest and perhaps tbe most Illiterate person whom I met, called itseven and e-iev-en and e-ven.

Speaking of traveling. On the route going out to Salt Lake City I rode on tbe sleepers, the three nights that 1 traveled.

Coming borne I bought a sleeper to Dearer wltb tbe regalar ! ticket to Atlaota, paying ror botb, 160. One ' night I slept on one of tbe lean-back cbalrt. Tbe otber nights I stopped in towns, waiting - for railroad oonaeotloas. I stopped la Dearer from aboat 8 o'clock one ulgbt until about 13 o'clock next day. Next morning after breakfast in Dourer I thought to ride a little on the street oara. Denver Is on the 1 Rio Grande Hirer. SEEING DENVBB Without knowing anything about them or their sobedalea I boar.led a oar tbat was full of passengers. At different street crossings, passengers kept getting off until tbe edge of town was reaohed. I stuck to tbe car. 1 bad then gave too far to expeot to meet auolbar car, and It kept going. I looked at my watch . %nd became nervous for fear that I might not get back In time for tbe train. Looking ahead I olearly aaw tbat tbe track went but a little farther, and 1 folt better. When we got to the end where I thought the traok stopped, It tamed at right angles, and the oar went soootlng down the line at the llvllest e sort of rate.
