GREW STRONG OUTDOORS.

In one of his Little Journeys, =" Ell
bert Hubbard tells of the rivalry be-
tween two East Aurora horsemen. One
winter. with a good stable and plenty
of feed when they wanted TO come in,
but plenty Of weather and range AND
storm when they cared to go out. The
other horseman built a covered track
at a cost of a hundred thousand dol
lars. and trained his colts all winter.
The result was that the man with the
rooted track had his racers at their best
in May-but there were no fairs nor
meets in May. And by August and
September. when there was a chance
for matches, his colts We're "alI in
While the other man, who began train
ing in the spring, whose colts We're wild
and woolly all winter, kept on putting
record breakers into stables all over the
country.
There is a good deal of suggestion for
the bringing up Of boys and girls. They
need lots of outdoors. They are the
better for climbing mountains, for
going without the regular meal now
and then; and they are no worse for
being soundly drenched with the rain.
They get more out of the open air,
the sun and the storm, the exercise
and the bodily WEAKNESS, than they
lose-a hundred times over. They get
there a vital force that goes with them
all through their lives.
In war time it was noticed that city
boys got into the game quicker than
did the country boys. But at the end
of a march or a battle it was the coun-
try-bred fellows who answered roll call,
and were ready for duty. They alb
sorbed stamina from the earth. They
caught vitality in the woods. They
drank reserves of power from the I'M
tralnmeued wind.
All this summer some boys and girls
have been ranging about the noun
tains. Others have been keeping their
hands white, their clothes Immaculate.
And still others have been working
with all their might.
In the progress of the coming school
year it viii be found that the colts that
ran on the mountains, that took all
sorts of weather. and that worked,
will study better, acquire more and re-
tain longer than their gentler cousins
Strength waits outdoors.

mrHE DANGER MARK' AGAIN.

Readers will please bear with US in
patience if we mention again the Sat
urday Evening Post story called 1.-THE
Danger Mark" It proceeds toward
conclusions in the current number. And
no story in fifty years has so perfectly
revealed the danger mark in American
life as does this strong story.
The mark in the case was supposed
to be the point beyond which the he
roine was tempted, and beyond which
it seemed likely she would go-since
that was the habit of her associates, the
influence of her environment But a far
bigger danger mark is discerned by the
careful reader. The fortunes and mis-
fortunes of even the most attractive
girl and her equally impressive mate
become trivial in view of the fact that
here is a great canker sore in American
life: that here is a phase of existence
embracing most powerful men and
most influential women. And that the
life of them is harmful to the nation.
That becomes THE Danger Mark"
And it is well for every American,
every one who loves his country, to
read the story. In no other way viii
he so quickly and so accurately see the
menace of the idle rich.
The story will be issued in book form
presently, and it is certain to be the
biggest seller. And the influence of it
should be felt wherever it is read.

THE ULTIMATE BENEFIT.

When Mr.. Allen stated in a recent
meeting that $4,000 acres Of land await
, ed reclamation between here and Og-
den, he disclosed a condition not COM
monty understood and ne gave the
best reason in the world for the success
of any effort that might be made to
render the land productive.
That land is high. Below it are
'vutered and fertile farms. Any plan
which viii take some of the available
water and make valuable that unused
land is to be encouraged Men who
have made a study of local conditions
tell US that much water is wasted.
Owners are Jealous of their water
rights. And yet We feel certain they
are reasonable, and cannot be induced
20 demand more than that degree OF
moisture which is necessary for the
perfection of their crops.
Doubtless that leaves an abundance
for the reclamation of the waiting $4,000
acres.

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes
down,
And day and night are the same as
one;
The year grows green, and the year
grows brown.
And what is it all, when all is done
Grains of sCmber or shining sand,
Gliding into or out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas
And a hundred ships are the same as
one,
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is it all, when all is done
A tide with never a shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night.
The fisher dropped his net in the stream
And q hundred streams are the same
as one.
And the maiden dreaneth her love-iit
dream,
And what is it all, when all is dOnde
The net Of the fisher the burden
breaks.
And always the dreaming the
dreamer wakes.

HoNoRINe WILLIAM H. SEWARD

It is gratifying TO note that William
f. Seward. Lincoln's secretary of state.
is receiving at Seattle the recognition
which he deserved in his lifetime, and
which was rarely given to him then.
It was he who proposed the purchase
of Alaska plan that had most siren
uOus opposition, and which was
charged against him as a mistaken
worse-through the remaining years of
his life. The price paid to Russia was
s., 200 ,OO0 1t is a little more than one
cent an acre.
In the forty years that Alaska has
belonged to the United States it has
yielded S125, 600 600 in gold, $50, 1000, 900
in furs and $4,000, 600 in fish And the
products in each line seem certain to
increase rather than diminish.
Americans will understand fncreas-
ingly, as the years go by. the towering
talent of the man who was LincOln's
chief opponent at the first Chicago con-
ventiOn, the man who made Lincoln
bigger by working under him. And the
man that Lincoln did not misunder-
stand.

= PRETTY GOOD PRAYER.

In a little frame over the desk that
William Igleheart used while with the
Herald, is a Stevenson prayer that
grows more blessed with each new
days reading. Here are the words Of
&:
The day returns and brings us the
petty round Of irritating concerns and
duties. Help us to play the man. Help
us to perform them with laughter and
kind faces. Jet cheerfuluess abound with
industry Give us 10 so blithely on our
business all this day. Bring us TO our
resting beds weary and content. and uu-
dishOnOred and grant us, in the end, the
gift of sleep.
If you can't get it in the Roycroft
form, which is the fashion Mr.. lyle
heart affected. you might clip out this
little fragment, and secure it where
your eyes viii fall on it each morning
as you dress for the day.
It is very simple, very plain. And ii
seems TO find an echoing need in the
heart of the man and the woman who
has work in the world to do. who loves
to co work well. and who knows the
richness of that blessing of an evening
of rest.

WHERE MEN ARE DoWNTRoD-

Along in the edge of the Sahara des-
ert, in the sultanate Of Tripoli. the men
have to be good. They are the chattels
of women. They don't own any land
but all title deeds run in feminine
names. It is regarded as improper for
men to attend a meeting alone, and
they are never admitted to the really
interesting dances Of the country.
The governor of Chat, the province
in question, gives this alluring picture
of the fate of his countrymen:
And viewing that record Of copditions,
the New York sun says:
Apparently there are no cakes and ale
for man in Chat and the love songs, II
any exist, must be composed by women.
Man is entirely under their thumbs, ana
his condition Of servitude seems complete.
1t might be supposed that in such a so
ciety the soldiers would be AmazOns. but
the women Of Chat mOnOpOlize the rights
of supremacy; they allow the men to put
on the panOply OF war and do the fight
ing. Man does not try to break his
chains in Chat; an agitator for mems
rights would never experience the breath
less notoriety and the JOY of battle that
are the privilege of the English suffra-
gettes. Imagination staggers at the
thought of what would happen to him
if he defied woman
Yet there is no record Of any strong
minded woman having gone from the
land of the free and the home of the
brave to the teaching of husband
handling in Chat. No lady has ecaped
from a suffragette society in London to
make life ideal for her sisters on the
edge Of the Sahara. How did those
African women find out?
And how do they perpetuate their

UTAH METHopIsM GROWING.

Bishop Berry has a right to feel graft
fed at the growth Of the Methodist
church in Utah; and by the news col
umns, he is so gratified.
Of course, the advance was to be ex-
pected. The problem here is more
difficult than elsewhere, and if the re-
suits were less gratifying it would be
because there is a change in the char
acter of the ministry Itself. Which is
hardly to be expected.
The Methodists have done their full
share in the making of the nation, and
their full share in the betterment of the
people here in Utah. Salt Lake Is
gratfed at the presence of their prom
inent people, and win look forward to
even more successful work in the fu-
ture than the past has known. And
will give it that very cordial welcome
which it deserves.

THE START FOR THE ExposlrIoN

AcIihS Governor Tingey has appointed
the committee 10 take charge Of nra-
paratory work for the Land and Trri-
cation exposition that is to be held in
chicago in November-Decemb of the
present year. The list includes sucb
names as that of Fred J Kiesel. John
Dern, Thomas Judd w. J. Halloran. J.
Edward Taylor and R W. Young. And
the committee viii meet with Gov
ernor Spry in the afternoon OF Sept. 8.
This is the beginning OF a work that
should be Of very great benefit to the
state. The space allotted to Utah is
not large, and the selection of exhibits
must necessarily be careful. Only the
best specimens of fruit or grain should
be taken. Utah has a right to show her
best in that competition, which viii be
visited by thousands of possible home
makers. And that right VIII not be
denied.
Later advices from Chicago are to the
effect that many other states having
untitled land awaiting settlers are max
ing active preparation for big exhibits.
Not only states. but some of the larger
Irrigation enterprises will be presented
by their wares. Utah need have no
fear of them if but her products are
adequately shown.
The purpose of the work is to bring
settlers to the state; to aid in the
reclamation of the desert. the utiliza-
'tiOn of all the land and water posi-
bEities of the state. Utah can have a
million people in another ten years.

first steps toward getting them.

power? It must be in the fact that
there is desert to the south of them,
desert to the north-and more desert to
the east and the west. The men Of
Chat have either TO obey the commands
Of their women, or get into a worse
state by venturing on a region where
there is nothing TO drink
But what a blessing it is that Chat
is a long way off Here in America,
where man is supreme-except on cleo
ton day-there are irrigation schemes
on every hand. And the ladies-heavan
bless 'em!-permit the men to believe
themselves free.

SENATOR SUTHERLAND HELPED.

Utah stands better in the view of
the east than ever before" And SEN
ator George Sutherland did much to
win that juster and better opinion.
The people Of the east have found
him a cultured gentleman. They found
him man of the puresr and cIeanest
life. They have found him an I'M
usually good lawyer-even in a body
where many successful lawyers have
place.
He has been appointed on commit
tees Of Importance, has been trusted by
older men, and has proved the wisdom
of the selection by results that are
recognized wherever fairness and un-
derstanding obtain.
No matter what people Of the east
thought Of Utah six years ago. Sem
ator Smoot and Senator Sutherland
have made the east think better. Their
commission was TO serve their country
as senators from Utah. And while their
labors there have been worthy and i'm
mensely valuable 10 both state and ma
ton, their stin more valuable work has
been the correcting of that uncompli-
mentary impression entertained at the
East.
The other sections Of the country arS
bound to confess that Il state which
sends such men must be in every way
worthy.
