literally followed her husband to Canada,
Mississippi, Ohio, and Iowa, as business
took him. there.
"Once," said she, when in Canada, I
rode in a stage coach for ten miles in
a snow storm, with four months old
baby in my arms. 1t was the month OF
November and very cold. At frequent
intervals the coach came to standsttu,
when all the male passengers would get
out to take a drink, or several OF them,
while remained without in the storm
awaiting their return. 1t was something
Of an ordeal, assure you"
After returning once more to Ohio. the

From the foregoing it will be seen,
that although the women pioneers OF
Montana did not ride the range; shoot
up town; hang road agents; or scalp In
dians, their lives were not wholly color
less and they contributed quite as much
to the upbuiding of the state as d1o
their more militant brothers.
President Klemme. of the Inter
mountain Union college at Helena, was
undeniably right, when he told the
Silver Bow club Of Butte, that children
are the greatest asset of any nation,
and that parents make a grave mistake
in not trying to understand their boys
and girls.
without doubt such an effort on the
parents should be made; but it is ques-
tionable whether it will be successful II
these changing times. Those like judge
Lindsey, who have made a careful study
of modern youth, do not seem to have
solved the problem Of it's revolt.
Investigations of this subject have lee
communities to realize that they mus
come to the aid of parents, and they arr
now furnishing gymnasiums, swimming
pools and play grounds where youth cal
safely get rid of its surplus energy. H.
lit is argued, children are the creates
asset of the nation, then it behoves tn
nation to conserve them, and see tina
they are properly trained"
