OUR BOYS.

The Montrose Democrat publishes The
following editorial on Our Boys"
which might be read with profit by our
own people
We understand that among the young
people of our borough the question is
being seriously discussed as to what
me ans can be devised whereby our
young men can pleasurably spend their
evenings in an air of refinement and
morality.
This is certainly a most commenda-
Bile agitation, and we hope that good re-
suits may follow. To the proposition
that some kind of amusement must be
provided there will be undoubted una
nimity, but right there will, we pre-
sume, be found the point of divergence.
What constitutes proper amusements
has always been a subject for disagree
ment, and if our people of Montrose can
solve the problem, they will have done
wonders. To some, dancing parties at
private houses would seem right and
proper, but to others it would seem an
abominatioD. The gathering ot the
young folks from time to time to in
dulge in games of whist, euchre, back
CANNON, etc., would TO many be innO-
cent and desirable, but the very idea
would be Iepugnant to others. A read
ing room would be suggested in some
quarters, aud promptly pronounced too
prOsy by those who know the nature of
/ boys. Even tie old-fashioned kissing
games would be fIowned upon by some
good people. So we might go through
4 the whole list of amusements and there
| would be objections raised to any prop
| osition which might be made. Bear in
mind it is the average boy that is under
discussion, not the naturally studious,
pious and quiet boy. Boys must be ta-
ken just as they are, restless, active,
fond of fun, and not kindly disposed
toward prudery. A boy is a frisky ami
NAL, and boys will be boys, in spite oi
all. When you try to fit them to a pro
crustean bed of morals they will Ger
tainly kick and squiTm and get away
from you. Many persons who profess {
deep interest in young men would &C
complish much better results if they
peddle fewer tracts, look less austere
get little closer to the young and maxi
themselves more agreeable.
If young man wants to play gam
of cards, it is fan better that he shoult
do so at home, or in private hous
with young ladies, than to play in tn
dingy back room of a saloon. If tn
boys want to dance a little, and will b
content to remain in the society Of hOm
if they can have jolly time during tn
evening, it might be we'll to indulg
them, if it keeps them from the saloo
and off the streets.
If you are going to reach out and al
tempt to catch the boys, don't temp
them with the bait of straight JACKIE
or hum-dTum nonsense, for they won
bite. Fish for them with live bait
something that is toothsome and plea!
ant, and your endeavoTs will be reward
ed bountifully. Get the yOnng peopl
together, give them elbow room, don
repress the buoyancy of their spirits. an
above all remember that you were one
young, too.

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS
TWO FRIENDS.

In the very same year, on the very same day,
Two little babies were born:
One was Il doggy. and one was girl
Ono was named Prince, and one was named
Pearl.
All on New Years morn.
And I'm one cradle the babies slept.
All through the mid-winter weather;
One on her pillow, dimped and sweet
And one curled up at the darling feet
Prince and Pearl together.
But Prince grew fast. as doggies will
Till he soon was large and strong,
With coal black coat that was curly and
fine.
With big. big bark and sorrowful whine:
And he learned to know right from wroDG.
And Prince would SIT by the baby Pearl,
Rocking her while she slept.
Gently. lightly, to and fro.
And the mother was free to come or RN
For Prince a true watch kept.
Aud he ID bear caresseS from baby hands
With never much q vince;
And Pearl on his back was secure from harm,
For he'd carry her safely all over the farm
Darling. trusty Old Prince!
And when Pearl went to the village school.
4 mile or more away.
Prince carried her basket, and primer. too,
And would run to fetch her when school was
through,
At the close Of the long, long day.
Oh! they were ever the best of friendA
In sunny or stormy weather;
Up in the mountains or down by the sea
In town or country, 'twould always be
Prince and Pearl together.

me tell you Of little experience | had one
day few weeks ago. 1t was nice, warm
day, and | was out on my run, and was
just congratulating myself that we'd get
through on time this trip. We'd had

was a-sayin', it was a NICE warm, thawing
day, and we were making good time. Pret-
ty soon though, the train stopped, miles
from any station, and stepped out to see
what the matter was. | noticed that it
seemed slightly colder, and shivered a bit
as stood in the slush and water looking
ahead where the engineer was fixing some
thing about his machine. BY the time the
engineer had concluded his fixing, probably
three or four minutes, | WAS chilled

than If the court house had been sitting on

You see, while was standing in that water
the temperature had suddenly fallen 30 that
the water had turned to firm ice, and my
feet were frozen fast. The train moved OF
without me, despite my cries, and stayed
there three hours and missed my prayer

in temperature l ever heard OF, and you can
bet it vas a cold day when l got left. y

DIR. Butler. who retired from the

the most successful school-teacher

Bishop Hargrove states that the
West Texas Methodist Conference has
gained during the past year ten thou

gained not less than fifty thousand
members during the year.
The Scottish churches with the
largest membership are Forfar, 1900;
st. Cuthbert's. Edinburgh, 2.796; and
Montrose, 2.65l-au connected with the
establishment.
DIR. Morton w. Easton, Professor
of Comparative Philology in the Uni

less than twenty-five different Ian
gvages. both ancient and modern.
