SUCCESS IN PROFESSIONS.

Professor Edwin c.. Dexter Of the
University Of Illinois has compiled for
the Popular Science Monthly some sta
tistics showing the promptness, or lack
of it, with which those who enter pro-
fessions achieve success. At the top
of the list Stands the musician. He
reaches his position OF prominence
ahead of all his professional brothers
or falls by the wayside early. So
make no haste to rush into the musical
profession. There are a thousand, yes,
ten thousand more failures than sue
cesses in it The man or woman who
can play or sing well is legion. Those
who can play or sing well enough to
stand in the forefront of their profess
sion are few.
Next in Professor Dexter's list
stands the scientist The student who
makes a speciality of one of the sci
ences achieves success almost as quick
iy as the musician. with the old pro-
visO providing he is successful at all
And when he does attain his object his
rewards are not so dazzling. as the
world views rewards. He is known only
in a comparatively limited circle, he
works for small remuneration and he
must be content with d circumscribed
life.
Actor and author come. next, stand
ing. as Professor Dexter expresses it,
almost neck and neck" Their rewards
are far greater. when they enter the
ranks of the successful. than are the
rewards Of either musicians or scien-
lists. Your modern author and actor
are not content with mere fame. They
receive large financial returns. Some
contemporary authors and actors have
grown wealthy within very few years,
and at the same time their names have
become familiar throughout the coI1n :,
try and the world, in some cases But
all authors and all actors do not sue
coed.
The lawyer, the doctor, the architect,
the artist, the minister, the newspaper
man must all pass through a long
period of waiting. They cannot step
from university into a hall of fame.
Their prominence does not grow up.
mushroom-like, in a night They must
work, work, work, and walt, wait, wait
for success. No matter how highly they
are educated the apprenticeship must
be served.
The only moral that can be drawn
from Professor Dexter's admirable arti-
Gle is that whatever our hands find to
do we must do with our might, serene
IN the knowledge that if we do our best
and succeed, we will deserve whatever
measure of success we attain; if failure
comes it cannot be said it was through
fault of ours.

PAUSE OF THE HEAT.

Rev Mr. Ira r. Hicks, the ST. Louis
weather sharp, has accounted for the
unbearably hot weather from which a
large part of the country has been suf-
fering recently. Mr.. Hicks attributes
the heat to a large, healthy spot that
has made it's appearance on the sun.
Just why the spot on the sun should
make the weather hotter is not made
clear, but the spot does the damage.
according to Mr.. Hicks. The spot now
visible is one of the three largest on
record, says the weather sharp.
when 1 first saw the huge depression
in the suns surface" Mr.. Hicks goes
on, cit was on what we call the east
limb of the sun. 1t is moving westward
over the suns surface. The sun is
100000 miles in diameter. This double
spot is about 175.O0O miles in area, and
you can see just how big it is. I pre-
dicted ten months ago that hot weather
would be the lot of the St IIouisans
the last of July. ] calculated on the
sun spot when made that announce
ment"
Now it is to be hoped the hot weather
will be borne with more equanimity.
We know what causes 1t even if we
don't know how to prevent it.

pIoNEER DAY.

Fifty-eight years ago today the pio-
neers, passing through Emigration can
yon at the end of their toilsome jour
ney across the plains, saw spread out
before them the Promised Land. 1t
was not the land of which many of
them had dreamed, land clothed IN
the bright verdure of midsummer, with
lmpid streams of cold water coursing
across it's. bosom, with thousands of
acres of fertile land ready for the
pillow OF the husbandman. They saw an
empire, true, but it was a barren en-
pire.
Strong, indeed. must have been the
faith of those pioneers in their leader,
strong must have been his faith in his
ability to build in the Great Salt Lake
valley homes for his people And yet,
in a space of time so short that there
are men and women now living who re-
member the beginning. the work has
been done. This valley is dotted with
farms and with homes. A great city
has grown up here, a city that is grow
ing greater year by year.
Later generations have helped in the
upbuiIdiug. Into this land have come
AhOuSdAAuS VIII not OF lAlIn OF
Brigham Young and his people. and
they have helped right sturdily to make
the city and the country better. But
when all is said and done the first hon
Drs must be given to the pioneers. They
blazed the way, they marked the trail
across the plain, they endured without
complaint the difficulties. the dangers,
the suffering, the hardship attendant
on the opening of a new land. Today
all over this mountain commonwealth
a tribute of honor and respect is being
paid 70 them.
In this tribute it is proper that all
should join. For this day the passions
and the prejudices that have grown up
may be laid aside while people of all
beliefs and all religions join in giving
the pioneers their due. In toll and pri-
walton they sowed that a later gener-
alton might reap. With admiration for
their bravery, with the highest esteem
for the unfalterinG courage that upheld
them in their hours of trial, let us re
member the pioneers, for they have
made possible the Utah of today.

that they were rescued from death. The
fools saw what they had done and, in
stead of aiding in the rescue, tried to
escape. One of them was successful
The other was caught. What was done
to him was. to use a-lucid slang express
sion. "a gorgeous sufficiency."
He was hauled to the beach and set
upon by a mob composed of about 200
persons Everybody in the crowd had
a whack at him. Women, we are told,
belabered him with their parasoIs, men
beat him with their fists. In the end he
was dragged away in an insensible con-
dition by a policeman who assured the
mob that the fool would be still further
punished in court The record does not
show whether he was or not. We can
only hope he was, for the beating was
not punishment enough At last ac-
counts endeavors to locate the other
fool We're still in progress.
We cannot refrain, nor have we any
desire to refrain. from rolling this story
as sweet morsel under the tongue. The
fool who rocks the boat gets his deserts
only too rarely May the example of
this case be a lesson to all<of his stripe,
and to jokers generally whose idea of
fun is to endanger. the lives of inno-
cent people. Sensible people can see no
humor in performances Of this charac-
ter. Every man caught INDUCING in
them should be beaten with many
stripes.
As our Old friend Solomon remarked
some years ago, 1T is as sport TO a
fool to do mischief but those who are
not fools should lose no opportunity to
braise the gentleman in a mortar.

A CREDIT TO HIS PROFESSION.

DR.. Richards of ThermOpolis, Wyo.,
Is a credit 10 his profession. The doc
tor, so far as we know, has not discov-
cred any new methods OF coping with
disease; he is not known, perhaps, be
yond a limited circle of friends and &C
quaintances. Yet DR.. Richards has
earned the respect and esteem of all
to whom these presents may come. We
wish him long life and wide celebrity.
The other day DIR. Richards received
a telephone message, stating that sew
eral men had been injured in an explo-
sion in the Kirwin gold mine near
Meeteetse, 100 miles away. He was
asked if he could come and do what he
could TO relieve the suffering of the
wounded. His response was instant.
II am coming as quickly as 1 can get
there" he said
The road from Thermopolis to Nee
teetse is not paved with asphalt. 1t
winds through rugged hills ara in many
places is but a half-broken trail. Or
dinarily il takes about two days TO
drive or ride from ThermopoIis to Nee
teetse. DR.. Richards did it in less than
eleven hours. If he had consulted his
own comfort he would have gone slow
~ OF not at all He would not have
ridden at breakneck speed along the
rough trail, dismounting from a jaded
horse at times to mount a fresh one
But men were suffering, perhaps dying
for lack or medical or surgical aid that
only DR.. Richards could give, and he
knew it.
Happily, ne arrived in time to relieve
the distress that occasioned his ride
against death. We hasten to pay our
tribute of respect to DR.. Richards. He
IS a man among men He will say he
only did his plain duty, but there are
doctors who would not have gone to
Meeteetse. Fortunately, though. they
are few. As we have heretofore had
occasion to remark. no profession con-
tainS as many self-sacrificing men as
the medical profession, none contains
as many men who count personal sac
rifice, bodily discomfort, danger to
themselves as of little Importance when
weighed IN the balance with the sur
fering Of others.
DIR. Richards is not an exception.
Rather is he a type of his profession.
Right well has he proven his right to
a place in the great army of medical
men,

l FOOLS DESERTS.

One fool got his deserts the other day.
Another fool escaped. but it is quite
possible that he win yet receive the
punishment he deserves. The story of
the two fools and their folly comes
from an Atlantic coast watering place.
The fools were bathing when a rowboat
in which were three young women came
along. One of the fools swan to the
bow Of the boat, the other to the stern.
Then, in concert, they began to rock
the craft.
The terrified young women screamed
their protests, but the fools would not
desist. At last the expected happened.
The boat was capsized. The ySuag ATc-
men were thrown into the water and
it was only with the greatest difficulty

Good friend, raise your own mutton.
II there is single good reason why
you should not we should like to know
what it is.
Sheep will eat hay that is half
weeds. Yes, but that is not the kind
of feed they ought to have. Weeds
and good solid flesh do not go to-
gether any more than clear johnny

1t is not true that any kind of salt

great deal to do with the quality and

best should, therefore, be used. 1t
