The first Of the week two strang-
ers made their appearance in Judith
Gap, and didn't even create any
curiosity, as strangers are OF daily
occurrence in this metropolitan burg
If our citizens had been aware that
these two strangers were detectives
we would all have displayed more ner-

always tell who is wanted Their
identity did not develop, howecer
until they had departed with two
pickpockets in the persons Of two
young men who had come to Judith
Gap several days before and hung
around the saloons looking for a
chance to ply their precarious trade.
SO far as can be learned nothing of
value was taken by the young fellows
while in Judith Gap, as the bartend-
ers supplied them with enough money
to procure meals, and they slept in
chairs along side of warm fires in the
all night houses. The detectives
arrived Monday and it did not take
them long to spot their men, and
Tuesday they arrested the culpr;ts

they are wantd on sveral chargs.

Stand by the Boy.

We must stand by the boy and
show the world that we have not cast
him aside"
The boy" was the younger son Of
an honorable family. He had commit
ted great wrong, and the question
was what to do with regard to him.
17is brother, a man Of high moral integ-
rity, said, 1--WE must stand by the boy. y
This attitude was Christian. 1t sug-
gests duty to the boy in general, the
boy that has gone astray. We have
not always even seen the problem. 1t
as being recognized that to save the
world we must stop the awful waste
OF lives-we must reach and influence
the young people We must stand by
the boy. 1t is urged against the Chris
tian Endeavor society that it reaches
twice as many girls as boys.
The same might be said Of Chris
dainty. 1t is an unmistakable fact
that the churches draw far greater
numbers of women than men. The
reasons are many. But no one ever
thinks Of blaming Christianity or min
~>-1Ahe rs NdiuC Ou tlIS ACCOUNT. line
TACT Is, take 1T as we will, that Chris
f1an Endeavor reaches more girls than
boys, just as the churches do.
On the other hand, Christian En-
deavor is elastic enough to reach and
hold the boys too. What Is needed is
class of workers that understand the
boy and will stand by him. Such
workers are rare, yet that Is not the
fault of Christian Endeayor. The
Christian Endeavor movement has
trained many workers, and it Is capa-
BILE Of training still more. We need
men that viii study the boy and do
something for him. Along with our
study Of missions and civic righteous
ness why may there not be committees
b study the boy-to find out his needs
and the way to meet them? II the
boy needs boys clubs, why may he
not have them In Christian Endeavori
A vast field of usefulness Is lying fall
low here. 1t Is new country, but It
- the natural Inheritance Of Christian
Endeavor. May many hear the call to
go forward and conquer ..for Christ
and the church. Ripple in Christian
