cupied by the teacher.
So this Oriental teacher was moved
to draw the attention of his followers
away from distant thrones in a far off
world to the cup which he was soon
to put to his own lips. and which, if
they shared the deepest passion of his
nature they would have to put to
their own lips sooner or later. They
were looking for thrones, but it was
beyond the Masters power to bestCw
them. He offered them what must have
seemed at the time a poor substitute,
even His own cup of agony and woe.

Thousands of young men and young
women today stand just at the point
where they must choose between the
ambition for a throne and that career
in life which inevitably involves the
frequent putting of some bitter cup to
the lips. The thought of the world at
large is, and ever has been, upon the
so-called prizes of life-fortune, fame.

THRONES OR CUPS.

An Oriental teacher many years ago
was approached BY two of his most
promising pupils with a request for
the bestowal of q personal favor. They
had been led to expect that something
of special value was in store for them,
either in this world or in another.
That coming boon outlined itself to
their Imagination in the form Of
thrones, and their boldly expressed de-
sire was that they should sit on the

There are some men who profess to
be pious who get a chill the moment
they are asked to subscribe to fund

comes to duty they do not recognize

cannot see any sense in it; although
they are ready TO praise the brethren

Robin red breast, although not a
robin in reality, but breasted
thrush. has always been an alarmist.
He is full of fear and has no pluck to
speak of. When he is alarmed he
does rot like a cunning sparrow, de-
coy persons away from his nest, but
just flies to his nest screaming and
discloses his home, eggs, or young to
his enemies. You hear him in the
garden many times every day flying
about excitedly, calling and worrying;
and you find that he is being dis
turbed by a sparrow. or a jay, or some
other robber of nests: or just by the
thought his fledgIings are in danger;
and he flies right to them, helping the
cat or any other enemy, to locate
them He does not appear to learn the
tricks of other birds who cunningly
protect their young; and it is not
strange that his little ones are often
preyed upon: but rather wonderful
that the robins are not exterminated
on account of their fool habits. The
robin if he knew more would suffer
less. He baWls his fears constantly
frorl the tree-tops. and seems to be
incapable of realizing that it Is a
most unfortunate and costly habit.

DEMOCRATIC JUBILATION.

The great leaders Of the Democratic
party had a joyous time of it in their
feast at Baltimore on Tuesday night.
They gave vent to their Joy at the No
venlbcr election; but their iubllation
was moderated by the reflections, as
expressed and consented TO by all. that
the Democratic triumph of last Novem-
Der WAS not, IN fact. so much Of tri-
umph for Democracy as it was u rebukc
TO the Republican leaders, the stand
patters who refused TO carry out the
pledges of the Republican National
platform. This is undoubtedly the ease,
and this cause was sufficient, The
warning ought to be ample ali the
time TO make the Democratic leaders
cautious and conservative in what they
do if they would leave for themselves
any hope of success in the Presidential
election next year.
Naturally, the bunko tariff law came
in for most of fhc cxcoriation admins

here, too. there seemed TO be for tho

ihat it would be the best plan TO begiu

seem TO strike the banqueters with fa-

BUILDING AND POPULATION.

An expert on finance, especially as
applied to building operations, dis
cussos in recent number of the New
York Evening Post the comparative ac-
tivity in building as between the year;
1909 and 1910. He calls attention to
the falling of in the latter year as
compared with the former one, and am
dertakes TO account for it, He says
that the reason is that people spent
their money in place Of saving it, and
that this affected the two chief chan
nels for mortgage loans, the savings
banks and the insurance companies,
''whose loauing facilities are largely
governed by the extent Of public
thrift" The savings banks did not
loan freely during the past year, be
cause their deposits were not increasing
in normal ratio. And the insurance
companies cut down their loans on
building projects because of the un-
usual number Of applications for loans
on policies. Consequently, many prop
erty improvements had to be dropped.
He then passes to the consideration
of the coming year, concluding that
both of the factors named have been
largely discounted, and the projects for
building are now on a much more sat.
isfactory basis. The buildings con
structed have all been occupied, and
the demand is for more. The most po.
tent factor for an all-around improve
mcnt, however, he traces TO the recent
census of Greater New York, holding
that this is thoroughly convincing to
realty interests Of the prosperity ahead
of them and surety that demand will
continue for business and habitation
facilities. New York City added
l ,32o ,6S1 TO her city population in the
decade from 1900 to 1910, gain of
3S.7 per cent. And this, with the other
factors mentioned, is considered to as
sure n prosperous building season dur.
ing the year 1911.
Applying the same reasoning to Salt
Lake City, we find the argument very
largely emphasized in our favor. The
abundance of money here is proved by
the bank reports, just as the like abun-
dance is proved by the financial re-
ports in New York The increase in
population. requiring the housing for
dwelling and business purposes OF an
immensely increased population, is al.
most double in the ratio of percent

OREGON SHORT LINE ACTIVITY

The construction programme of The
Oregon Short Line, given in consoli-
dated form in yesterday morning S
Tribune. will be received with cnthu-
siam throughout all this region, and cs-
pcclally in the State Of Idaho. 1T ap.
pears that some $l0,000,000 viii be
spent by the Oregon Short Line in ex-
tensions and cut-offs, chiefly in Idaho
during the coming season. Some of the
work is under way now, the open win
ter allowing of its being prosecuted to
advantage Other work will be begun
when the spring opens and the ground
hardenS SO that work can be profitably
pursued
The announcement was all the better,
because it is official, and is the con-
solidatcd programme of the Short Line
for the year The extensions projected
will be of immense service TO the peo-
pie of Idaho; and the cutoff from Bur
ley TO Kclton will be Of much advan-
tage also to Salt Lake. The double
tracking Of the line from Pocatello TO
Bliss, and, also. between Salt Lake and
Ogden, Will be "A great advantage in
the operation OF trains.
The Short Line has done great work
in Idaho during the past ten years, and
is evidently determined to keep up its
record as fast as the communities
grow so as to demand railroad service.
Idaho increased in population between
1900 and 1910 total of 1853. .1S2, being
n gain of 1913 per cent, to its present
population of ,59i. II was mag
nificcnt gain, and one in which the
Oregon Short Line is entitled to claim
fair degree of credit
