EXPERIENCE is obtained only at the cost of
many mistakes. We may have been taught and
instructed as to the best manner of meeting and
treating the very event that brought disaster
hardship but nature is oath to give heed purely to
advice and we feel that situation and ability is
SO different to that of the advisor that it is worthy
only of passing thought. Because he has done SO

us to independent action. This unwillingness or
perhaps inability to learn from the result Of other

Experience is said to be slow teacher; but the
lesson it offers is not easily forgotten by him that
receives it. Occurrences that result in our
discomfort not likely to be again met without
due reflection and preparation Even experience
will not always us from mistakes, yet it is the
best teacher Life repeats ITSELF Schooling,
study Of the best books and advice cannot always
prevent Mistakes but it tends greatly to decrease the
number.
In our later years we are often vexed at young
people for not giving heed to advice; yet in
youth we were no better. The same path is ever
before the people and must be trod in much the
same The young may listen at
tentvely to you and yet fall as you once did. The
best of education may have availed him naught. A
few weeks Of hard experience, however, will impress
him more than any words or study.
Nothing is of value unless we learn from it,
which fact often necessitates going through the
same experiences time and again. The formation of
character, also, depends largely on the use we make
of our experience. It may seem strange that we
fail to learn from the experience of others, but it
certainly is strange not to profit by ex-
perience. AS Patrick Henry said: Il have but one
lamp by which my feet guided, and that is the

if. SHARP HIGH GUN,
WINNING A" MEDAL
Defeats CallisOn by a Close
Score.
WEEKLY TOURNAMENT
GOOD SHOOTING AT THE TRAPS
YESTERDAY.
WEEKLY TOURNAMENT

By the close score of. Al to 46, J. F.
Sharp yesterday defeated Cal Callison
at the weekly tournament of the gun
club, winning the a. medal for the
sixth time and the trophy for the best
shot in the club becomes the property
of Sharp. The weather conditions were
perfect, and although the targets were
a little erTatic at times, the scores
made by the different shooters We're up
to the general average.
1t was almost a foregone conclusion
that either Sharp or CallisOn would
win the medal yesterday, and as each
man had total of five wins to his
credit, additional interest was CEN
tered in the work of these two experts.
Sharp broke thirty-three targets before
a miss was recorded, and at the end
of the fOrtN string was still but one
bird short of a clean record. Callison
fell down on the nineteenth shot and
missed again on the twenty-sixth and
finished the forty mark one bird behind
Sharp. The latter missed again on the
fOrty-secOnd and lost his nerve on the
last one of the shots, giving q, score of
forty-seven out of the possible fifty.
Callison started in on his last string
of ten with five straight and then
miss ed two in succession, one of which
was smoked, but did not break, there
by losing the chance of a tie with
Sharp and also tie first medal.
The four medals were offered by the
club to the four members making the
highest scores, each medal having to
be won six times before it became the
property of any member. The first
shoot for them began on the 2Sth of
December. and Sharp stood high man
since then six times, with scores of A,
4S, 49, 45, AZ and won out yesterday
with another score of Al, making a to-
tai of $50 targets killed out of a posi-
bic 800, giving him an average of SO Is.
Callison won the medal five times with
scores of so, 40, 46, As, As and broke
fOrty-six targets yesterday, which
gives him a total of 2S7 birds killed out
of a. possible 800. and the high average
of 80 2-3. 1t will be seen by the above
records that Callison broke more tar
gets and has a higher average than
Snarp in the number of times that he
won the medal PeaSe, with a score of
As, and Brockbank, with a score of 40,
each won the medal once.

MUST SUPPORT THEIR MOTHER
ORDER AGAINST MRS. STEVEN
SONS SONS.
County Commissioners InvesceSate
the Case-Charles Stevenson Was
Belligerent.

It was a pitifu1 scene before the
county commissioners yesterday after
noon when Charles Stevenson was at
tempting to show cause why he should
not be required to help provide his
aged mother with the necessaries of
life. Mrs. Stevenson has been a coun-
ty charge for three months past en-
tirely, and before then was occasional
ly given support at the public's eX-
pense. She was not the complainant
against her sons, and yesterday de-
clined to say anything disparaging
against them. But it was different
with Stevenson. He was so belligerent
because he had been cited to appear
before the commissioners to answer
the charge of not contributing to his
mothers support, that the commission
ers threatened to send for the sheriff
to take him in hand. All the while his
mother, a. good appearing woman of
more than the allotted three score
years and ten, sObbed piteously.
Charles Stevenson admitted that he
had a steady income of $S5 monthly as
Janitor of the Oquirrh school building,
and said he had five children depend
ent upon him for support. His plea.
was that he had done the best he could
to keep his mother in food and clothes.
Mrs. Stevenson lives alone and has

considerable time. On Friday he drew
his pay from the school board for his
months services, but refused to give
his mother anything when the commits
sioners asked him if he would not do
something for her and relieve the coun-
ty of the burden.
Mrs. Stevenson confessed that her
son Harry had at times contributed a
little to her support Harry had been
cited also to show cause along with
Charles, but he had gone back to Silver
City to resume his work as engineer.
The mother told the commissioners that
she had two other sons-John, an en-
gineer at Diamondville, Wyo., and
Thomas, a coal miner at the Winter
Quarters mines
The judgment of the commissioners
was that Charles Stevenson shall pay
So monthly toward the support of his
mother, that John shall pay SO and each
of the other sons 81 monthly. 1t was
also the judgment that the county at
torney institute suit against all four
of Mrs. SteVenSon'S sons to recover
from them the amounts of money eX-
pended by the county on their mother
to keep her from starvation and the
chilling blasts.
The commissioners announced that
there are others on the list to be cited
to show cause why they should not be
required to support their dependent
parents

evening:
Talk about the new Salt Lake club
having money behind them. Why,
Clippenger has all the railroads in the
United States, with several hundred
millions, back of him."
CHppenger'S scheme is unique and
entirely original. In the past few days
this gentleman has visited all the rail-
way Offices in the city and induced
each one TO put a player in the team,
who viii wear the symbol of the road
and represent it as a ball player in the
Railway team This means that each
railroad will try to Guido the other
road and put a better player on the
team. If the Burlington pitcher does
not come up to the standard, or the
Rock Island shortstOp is a little slow
the roads will have to uphold their
reputation by getting better men,
When play begins the scorer will
shout something like this: Southern
Pacific to the bat, Midland on deck, -
or the umpire will call out, Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul out at first"
When the railway boys start a thing
they generally make a big success Of
the undertaking, and the promoters of
the new Salt Lake club will have to
be up and moving to beat the railway
com bination.
