At Fort Douglas.


According to the program there was q
dress parade and concert at Fort Douglas
last evening. Several hundred people,
q large number of them Coloradoans.
availed themselves of the opportunity to
see another of Salt Lakes attr actions. AS
was observed by some of those present,
there is no city, east or west, that possesses
30 many lovely sights. Not that the parade
or the concert was any different from that
Of other garrisons, but the ride up the in
cline plane to the bluffs overlooking the
city and the view of the great basin of the
Salt lake is feature which can not be
duplicated. The sun was Just setting as
the parade commenced and the almost par
allel rays 1t shot across the parade ground,
glistening on the brightly polished sword s
and bay onets, added beauty and attractive
ness to the scene.
Five companies Of the Sixteenth infan-
try, headed by the regimental band, went
through the manual of arms and the evolu-
tons attending the formation of the pa
rade as only well trained troops can. and
the salute to the flag as it glided down the
pole was an inspiring sight. A short con-
cert followed, which hosts and guests both
enjoyed to the utmost.
At about S O'Clock the party returned.
more than pleased with the military dis
play, which was still enhanced by the pan
Drama that opened before their eyes in the
wondrous landscape on their return home.

Dear boys, want 20 give you

Twill make your lives successful,
II you heed il as you should
Obey il in the spirit.
Obey il in the letter
Don't say thing is good enough"
Till il can be no better.
And whether at your lessons.
Or - your daily work,
Don't be halfway dabbler-
DON'T slip and slide and shirk,
And think it doesn't matter
That such talk Is trash" and STUFF
For until your task is perfect,
II is nerer good enough"
II your work is in the school room,
Make every lesson tell:
No matter what YOU mean to be,
Build your foundation well
Every knotty point and problem
That you braveiy master now
VIII Increase your skill in labor
With the pen or with the pillow.
If you sweep a store or stable,
Be sure you go behind
Every box and bale and counter;
twill pay, you'u always find,
To be careful, patient, thorough.
Though the work be hard and rough;
And when you've done your very best,
Twill then be good enough"
So you'd better take my motto,
II you ever mean to work
To any station higher
Than stable boy or clerk
It will make you independent,
1t will make you no mans debtor,
Then neUer say tits good enough"
Till it can be no better.
