A PRESIDENT'S DENIAL,
AND HIS OWN RECORD
[By Electric Telegraph.]
New York, May 1
Joseph Smith, one of the Mormon presidents, denies that loose living exists
among the Mormons, and also denies that polygamy is sanctioned. He invites investigation of the lives of the

having five wives living.

A pompous deacon was trying his hand at teaching a Sunday-school class, and was waiting to bring out the beauty of Christian living. "Why do people call me a Christian ?" he asked. There was a pause, and then a shrill voice said:—" Please, sir, because-they don't know you." We freely admit that the best jadvertisers of Warner's Rust-proof Corsets are the wearers of Warner's.
