UTAH
AN IDEAL CLIMATE

The first white man to set foot on
Utah soil. Father Silvestre Velez de Es-
calante. who reached the GREAT
SALT LAKE on the 23rd
day Of September, 1776. wrote in his
diary: Here the climate is 80 delic-
ious. the air 80 balmy, that it is pleas
ure to breathe by day aud by night"
The climate Of Utah is one of the rich
est endowments of nature. On the
shores OF the Great Salt Lake especially
and for fifty miles therefrom in every
direction-the climate of climates is
found. To enable persons to participate
10 these scenic and climatic attractions
and to reach the famous Health,
Bathing and PIeas-
ure Resorts of Utah, the

to OGDEN and SALT
Lake CITY of one fare for

This is an age Of athletics. In COL
leges and high schools the gymnasium
classes grow noticeably larger from year
to year. Basket ball, tennis, bicycle
riding and golf supplement the regular
class work for girls, while with the men
base ball and foot ball retain their old
time popularity. Yet there never was q
time when the newspapers were 60 full
of patent medicine advertisements az
at the present day. Flaunting head
lines announcing some marvellous con-
coction stare at US from every page
The medical colleges, too. are turning
out the usual number OF licensed prsc.
ticioners each year. and seldom is case
recorded Of physician's starving to
death or turning to another occupation.
Possibly in this as in other lines the law
OF compensation is operating. The bal.
sncing Of opposites is every where sp
parent in nature. Light finds it's count
erpart in darkness, heat in cold, hap
piness in misery and weakness in
strength. More than ever before this is
an age Of intensity OF devotion to ideals
and ideas. Ideas dominate eras, ages,
nations and individuals. The
world is seething with ideas; they are
here in all shapes, colors, sizes and
grades; they are the penetrative and
power in all departments of

human activity. They are universal
and particular; general and specific;
worthy ard unworthy; divine and Sd
tanic. So masterfulIy does an idea
sometimes take hold of a personality
that it becomes the fixed. controlling
purpose Of life, overtopping and over
shadowing everything else. Nations
like individuals. are possessed ny ruling
ideas. Rome was ruled by the idea of
empire; Sparta by that Of physical man
hood; Athens by the expression of the
beautiful; France by that OF glory; Eng
land by that Of commerce; our own land
by that Of liberty. The value of man
as member OF human society depends
very largely upon the sort of idea that
gets hold Of him. Hence, before we
allow ourselves to become the exponents
Of an idea, We should be very certain
that it is worthy Of US. And the more
noble and unselfish the prevailing idea,
the more nearly does it approach to i'm
mortality. Poetry never encountered
\ more resonant chord than when IL
responded to "Rock of Ages" Music
never encountered thought that i'm.
poverished it's power Of expression until
it undertook to render THE Messiah. ."
Architecture never felt the moving of a
spirit that demanded more OF cunning
and skill than the hand could find
until it undertook to embody the idea
Of the cross in marble pile. Patriotism
never encountered successful rival for
the control OF human hearts until it
met Him who rendered unto Caesar the
things that belonged to Caesar only,
and unto God the things that are Gods.
Human clinging to life never was shak-
en- in it's firm grasp upon desire until
this great thought came flaming from
the cross, Ito die is gain"

for the use and behoof Of the button;
still for forms sake. he would give a
few reasons why his contention was the
correct one. 1t was apparent. he said,
that without the buttonhole the button
would be unable to perform it's function.
and hence it was plain that the button
preceded the buttonhole. and that the
latter was invented in order that the
buttonhoie might be Of service to man.
kind. It should be clear to everybody
that had it not been for the button the
buttonhole never would have been
thought of. Its existence necessarily
presupposed the existence Of the button.
The lawyer for the other side was
equally positive in the stand he had
been employed to take. He averred that
the buttonhole preceded the button:
that, in fact, the button was merely an
afterthought. He said that, az every
one knew. the buttonhole can be en-
ployed without the button, as witness
Farmer Jones, who invariably uses a
nail or silver Of wood instead Of the con-
ventional button, whereas it was impos-
sible to make an effective use of the but
ton without the aid and assistance of
the buttonhole. Hence il was shown
beyond peradventure that the button
hole was Of greater importance than the
button, and it was natural to infer that
the buttonhole was first invented and
that the button came later simply as an
ornament, or. at best, as an improve
ment upon the nail, silver or other in
strumentality wherewith the buttonhole
was made to perform it's duty. To show
the relative value OF the buttonhole and
the button, he said, take this simple ex-
ample. When the button comes of the
buttonhole can still be made service
able, but if the buttonhole is slit open
the button is of no use whatever. With
this the learned counsel rested hie case,
although he claimed he had not ex-
hausted the subject. When the court
came in after recess the learned Judge
promptly decided the case in favor Of
the buttonhole-clearly just decision,
although it was whispered about the
court house that the decision might
have been different but for the fact that
while changing his linen between ad-
iournment and reassembling of the
court his honor had dropped his collar
button and hunted for it without success
for half an hour, and perhaps might
never have found it had he not stepped
upon it. But Of course this suggestion
came from the partissns of the button
and may fairly be imputed to their dis.
appointment and chagrin.

or drove into town with load Of wood
and tied his horses just across from our
Office window. He covered one horse
with q blanket. while the other re-
msined uncovered. Both horses stood
quietly for few minutes. but soon the
one exposed to the cold began to fidget
and twist. while the one that was COW
cred stood perfectly still, from time to
to time fixing mildly inquiring ICok
on his less fortunate neighbor.
How like is this. we thought. to hu.
man life. One person is left without
protection in the world. while his neigh
Dor. for no apparent reason, is provided
with everything necessary to his COM
fort and welfare. The possessor Of these
temporal blessings looks with the same
wonder and sometimes with pity on his
fellow being who is wriggling and
twisting under his less favorable cir
cumstances, thoroughly uncomfortable.
yet seemingly unable to better his con-
dition.
As We sat in our cozy Office with the
fire burning cheerily in the CRATE, we
were filed with feeling Of compassion
for the mass Of poor. struggling humani-
ty to whom the aforesaid Office would
appear sort of earthly paradise. and
whose ideas OF CRATE fires are gained
chiefly from glimpses Of them through
their employers windows.
Our fires merry cracking ceased; it
settled down to q steady, deliberate
burning, and again we drew conclusions,
and many we're the world-pictures
which arose from the bed of glowing
Goals.
In the enth ,siasm Of youth, humsni-
ty is like the dancing flame. 1t rushes
wildly from one thing to another, and
much valuable time is wasted, some
times in the pursuit of the bubbles of
fame or of pleasure. and sometimes in
an honest endeavor to find or to make
IN appropriate place in the great NOV
ing world.
By the time this place is decided up
on and we are ready to settle down to
earnest. moderate living. the fire is half
burned out; for few year; We may con-
tinue this stste Of existence, but the
end is inevitable, and soon q few ashes
will be all that remains to tell OF our
existence, with the exception. perhaps,
OF some lonely traveller who has been
warmed and cheered by our blaze.
This being the case. what is the ad-
vantage of this confused. tumultuous
living? Why spend our days in frantic
striving after fame and wealth and
power, since these must be laid aside 90
soon and all will be equal in the grave?
Why not live moderately. nationally,
one day at time. attending to the du-
ties of each hour and gathering such of
it's pleasures as We may, with less of
care and concern for the future?
The fire burned low and red; q coal
fell down through the CRATE with q
clinkipg sound. and we were reminded
of the verses entitled "Uncounted Bless
ings," written, we think, by Eben E.
Rexford:
I sometimes tire Of making vain endeavor
For things never win, tho sought 50 long;
And wonder If my pains must fail forever!
And minor chords creep into LIES low song
Until my heart is heavy with It's sorrow,
As things beyond me, always far away.
Keep beekonins on, and whispering
Tomorrow"
But never hold the music Of today.
