THE OTHER BOYS WORK.

A hoy one day built up a man Of snow:
He fashioned it with all the skill he
knew.
And looked upon IL and was glad. and lol
Another. when the happy child with

Rushed forth and battered down the lit
tie pile
And trampled all its human semblance
out
As il i had been something loathsome,
vile
And heraded his work to all about.
A noet wrote a harmless little sonc
He fashioned it with all the art he
knew.
And sat and scanned it happily and long.
And dreamed of praise and fame, as

But lol critic found the rhyme. one day.
And ridiculed and tore it all apart
AS 'twere some shameful thing to put
away
And left shaft deep in gentle heart.

Big Sales of Idaho Lands.

General Passenger Agent Burley
of the Oregon Short Line is receiv-
ing reports from the company's land
agents in Idaho, showing the ex-
tent of their COLONIZATION work dur
ing the year 1900. They show re-
markable results. One report which
came to hand Yesterday from the
Short Lines representatives in re-
gion under one irrigation company
contains the names of ninety settlers
and purchasers of land, all of whom
have gone into Idaho during the
year. These colonists have pur-
chased in all total of 1915 acres
of land for farming in tracts ranging
from three acres to 200 acres. The
average number of acres purchased
by each is eighty. The land costs
on an average Of 1923 an acre, and
the sales by this one agent therefore
amount to about S165, 600.
This is but one Of Is reports
to be made" said Mr. Burley," and
| judge from those | ha already
received that they are all on a par
or nearly So | expect the sales to
average at least 5000 acres by each
agent, or $4,000 acres for this wear.
One of our men who is working ex-
cusively in Iowa and Minnesota

| am more than delighted with the
showing for 1900 and | anticipate
still better results next year.

MEETINGS FOR MEN.

Special Series at Columbia Theater
Under Auspices of Y. NJ. G. A.
The Young Mems Christian Association
has arranged a special series Of evangel-
istic meetings for men, to be held Sunday
afternoons at 4 o'clock. in the Columbia
Theater. The lack of an association hall
and the insufficiency Of the accommodate
tions in the gymnasium have rendered neces-
sary the provision Of facilities for the
large number Of men desiring to attend
these services.
The association leaders consider them
selves especially fortunate in having as the
speaker at the first of these services, next
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. William Phillips
Hall Of New York city, the business man
evangelist. Mr.. Hall is at the head Of the
Twentieth Century Gospel Campaign, a
movement which is becoming general
throughout the country, and which unites
the various denominations in an aggressive
evangelistic endeavor.
Mr.. Hall has been in eVangelistic work
for twenty years. He was at one time as
sistant secretary for the international COM
mittee Of Young Mems Christian aSsocia-
tons, having charge of railroad work. He
was also general secretary at Louisville
KY, and state secretary for Kentucky. In
the last ten years he has done great deal
of evangelistfc work, and has gone from
place to place, paying his own expenses and
not charging for his services. A leading
evangelist, In writing Of Mr.. Hall, says:
HE is personally very modest in speaking
Of his work. but next to Mr.. Moody there
has been no more successful evangelist in
recent years.
The singing next Sunday will be under
the leadership Of Mr.. F. H. Jacobs, the
singing evangelist Of Brooklyn. The as
ISOLATION orchestra will also assist in the
music.
Admission to the meeting will be by
ticket. These tickets may be obtained at

age will not be admitted. The pastors Of
