The movement in Abilene in the
interest of the boys deserves the
support of the town. In city like
this there is a large number OF
young men and boys who spend
much of their evening leisure on
the streets. That 1t ought not to be
so is admitted but we must deal
with things as they are and 1t is
recognized that the wisest course is
to make provision for the proper
guidance of this class. 1t may not
be possible in a town of this size to
maintain a Y. M. G. A. building
and the organization does not rec
ommend buildings for places of this
size-but there can be something
worked out that will help lead the
boys Alright and the effort put forth
in that direction is well spent.

ON THAT IDAHO ROMANCE

across country to get married and
It woke up e. A. D. Parker OF that
town who writes to the paper:
Reading in the Kansan of Sat
urday night the account OF a 'ro-
mantle wedding in Idaho some OF
the statements struck me as more
romantic than real.
Bear Paw mountain appears to
be about 25 miles s. s. E. from
Havre, Montana, ON the line of the
Great Northern railway. 1t is pos
sible that on account of its bad
weather reputation the place can
not boast at least one minister?
Their route must have carried them
somewhere in the vicinity Of Fort
Benton, Great Falls and Missouri.
Are there no preachers there? But
perhaps Rev. Mr.. Cress was the man
they were looking for.
IAN air line from Bear Paw
mountain in Montana to Lewiston
Idaho, measures on the map, about
365 miles. AS an air line route Is
an impossibility perhaps not less
than rs per cent should be added
to the distance. But, allowing S65
miles for the distance, five days
would require an average of "a
miles per day. The route would nee
essitate the crossing of the main
range of the Rockies and the Bitter
Root mountains. have ridden 81
miles per day in summer and in
prairie country-and SO miles In
winter. But it seems to me that
say rs miles day, in winter ant
in as rough a country as I remem
Der western Idaho to be, is, to say
the least, rather romantic"
