 But the Young Mems Christian As. sociation soon made change for tho better, It attracted the attention of the late Earl of Shaftesbl who be- came it's president and remained at it's head for 90 years. One improvement followed another, until it heeame pos ,sible for a London clerk b i've a de cent and comfortable life.
 America Leads.
 l. Like some other good things, the , Young Mems Christian association be- gan in England, but grew to it's full height in the United States. America beats the world four to three in mem- Iiberships, and eight to one in property
 One of the Chicago associations is far
 in the lead, with 5000 members. Bos- ton is iii second place. Cleveland i third, and Pittsburg fourth.
 If We count cities, and not associa- tions, New York shows the most won derful results. The i3,O00 members of its several branches own nearly as much property as the 3o0,o00 in 1 foreign countries. There are S4,000 books in its libraries, and dts budget ! for last year went far above q quarter l of a million dollars. It's 33rd street building is the most magnificent young mems club house in the world,
 costing $SG0,000. Here @ homeless bog can get a meal of a bed Or a job

 has had full swing in the Young
 Mems Christian association. Every
 branch is independent and self gov iverning. There is no imperialism. At
 the head are q congress of 54, a cab inet of i. and a president; but these have no power to make laws They ! merely offer help and advice to the
 secretaries. who are the real leaders land burden bearers. There is no cut
 and dried set of rulers The only
 universal order is keep out of the
 ruts.s
 ] Interesting Ideas and Experiments i The man who believes that the Young Mems Christian association is
 merely a religious institution where
 he would have to go through 50
 minute prayer-meeting to get ten
 minute bath, has not been inside one
 of its club houses for at least ten
 years. Today it is more than up-to-
 date It is years ahead of the calen- ] dar. In educational matters is has i jbeeome an experiment. station, making
 new roads for the schools and col

 i \ World Wide Power. i No matter where q young man goes the Young Mems Christian asso- ciaticn is on his trail. He will find it
 among the paper makers of Maine,
 the coal miners of Pennsylvinia, the guarrymen of Vermont, the cotton
 !1ill workers of the Carollnas and the
 gold miners of Alaska. The latest

A generation ago me Cung Men Christian Association was commonly regarded by the outside world as a so- ciety whose chief purposes were preaching and prayer. Today almost everyone knows it better--knows it that works for the good of society in as huge and powerful organization ;. hudred different ways, all Of ullepl highly practical.
 So multiforn, indeed, is the Young Mems Christian Association of today, III so many, fields are it's vast ener- gies at work that it is not easy 10 define or describe it in ;l single seu- tenee An intelligent foreigner, on reading it's annual report. might well inquire, What species of orgauiza- ton is this? Is it real estate cor poration, q gymnasium, d university, church, a hotel or a recreation club?"
 You may call it any one Of these, and give good reason. For instance, in the United States alone it owns S3l 600, ,ooo worth of land and build- lgs. It's yearly income is more than s4 ,000,0 half of which is perpetual: ed in pr' oerty. It has more than 800 club ouses, large enough to house the who" population of city like Pittsburs Every five days, on an average, it puts up 2 neH building. 3ourely it is real estate corporation, an done of tht. most prosperous in the country
 Physical and Mental Training
 Look at 1t rom another point of view. and you will find that 1t has more than 32,000 students in it's schools about as many as the eight biggest universities in America can show. Its diplomas are accepted by 100 colleges. In it's libraries are 800 600 books Last year it gave away to soldiers and sailors 15 tons of books and magazines. Mainly it should take rank as q university, ana q most practical one, for it teaches Its students useful trades and finds them employers when they graduate. It's finished product in this line last year numbered 15,00o young men.
 Give this many sided institution an other twist and it becomes the great y,st school of physical culture in the world, operating 556 gymnasiums, with l35, ,000 pupils. It is the fore most promoter of clean sport. when if takes hold of young man 1t hard- ems his backbone and tightens up his muscles, physically a swell as moral 1y. For scientific body building, it's instructors are generally admitted to ha the hest in their profession.

OUR CHAMELEON LIVES

Sometimes I'm glad, sometimes I'm sad
Sometimes I'm gay, sometimes I'm
gray.
Sometimes chase happy thought
With all the energy I've got
Only to see the frail thing die
In the foul breath of deadly sigh.
Sometimes | think the world is bad
And curse the day that was born,
And wish by ugly death | had
From mothers clinging arms been torn.
And then again / meet and talk
With Jesus in some lonely place
And while alone with Him | walk
| feel the healing touch of peace.
Sometimes afar frem Him / stray
In mad pursuit of bubbles
But, ali; how soon I'm brought to bay
BY fierce and snarling troubles!
In my despair l cry to Him
And DER the intervening waste
/ sigh for wings to fly to Him,
And hate the bubbles that / chased.
When of myself lose command,
Lured by the worlds poisonous hiss,
blindly drop His guiding hand
And blunder near some dark abyss.

MUST SHOW CAUSE FOR CON-
STRUGGLING DRAIN.
in VICINITY Of LAUREL.
Land Owners Claim IL Will Destroy
Their water Right-Hearing On Ap-
Plication will be Held October 5
Before Judge Fox.

Judge Fox yesterday signed an ord
er requiring County Drain Commits.
sioner D. H. Sullivan to appear In the
district court for the tenth judicial
district October 5 and show cause
why he should not be restrained from
constructing the Nutting drain ditch.
The action, which was commenced
in the district court early In Septem-
Der, but which was not signed till yes
terday. as Judge Fox has been on q
hunting trip was brought by Attorney
". M. Johnston in the interest Of w.
Summers, Margaret Summers, D. a.
Jones, Ida B. Jones, William I. Jones,
and Clara M. Jones, who wi land In
the vicinity of the proposed drain and
who claim that the construction of it
will destroy water rights to which
they have made claim and which have
not been purchased from them.
The Nutting drain is one Of the most
extensive drain propositions proposed
in Yellowstone county. It empties In
to the river three or four miles this
side Of the new town Of Laurel
and drains the town Of Laurel, as
well as valuable land In the vicinity
Of It. Advertisements asking for bids
for its construction have been run in
the daily papers on two different oc-
casions, but on each the drain com
missioner has not had any bids to do
the work. The reason for not re.
ceiving bids on the first advertising
is not known. but it is understood that
the fact that the suit had been nled
stopped contractors from making bids
the last time.

TO THE POINT.

Bearing your cross does not relieve
you from paying your taxes.
This world never agrees with the
man who tries to swallow it whole.
Nothing impoverishes a good deed
quicker than thinking Of its profit.
You cannot improve your view Of
heaven by climbing on your brothers
back.
It's the little happinesses ~ SOW
that give us the harvest Of perpetual
pleasure.
The saddest people in this world
are those who r always fleeing from
sorrow.
A rabid defense Of creed is often ac-
companied by a remarkable indifer-
ence to deed.
The fayorite circus of the average
church is that of whipping the devil
around ths stump.
The people who are too lazy to run
IN the race always get up a perspira-
ton over the way the prizes go.
Whether the church shall stay in
the world depends not on whether the
world will support it, but on whether
81 will serve the world and save It.
