WORK BEGUN
Y. M. C. A. TRAVELING SECRE
TARY IS NOW HERE.
TAKING HOLD IN EARNEST
Several Young Men Make Liberal
Subscriptions-Canvassing Com
mittee Appointed.
From Monday's Daily.
Since the arrival of W. M. Parsons,
traveling secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
for the northwest, 'those 'who have in
terested themselves in the organiza.
rtion of a society here and the erection
at a building feel very Imuch encour
kged. Promise of assistance from
quarters wholly unexpected and 'in
amount that can only be designated
as generous has Ibeen received with
out solicitation, while many of the
young men about town, those earn
ing sailaries, have come forward with
liberal subscriptions.
Mr. Parsons spoke at the Congre
gaational church yesterday morning,
again yesterday afternoon at a men's
meeting in the Methodist church and
last evening in the Baptist church.
At each 'place he explained the ob
ject of his presence and the desires
of those who were instrumental in
bringing 'him here. He also explained
the 'benefits that would accrue to the
city by the establishment of a branch
here and the erection of a building of
the kind under contemplation. It was
pointed out that the practical good
that it would do would be no less
than the imoral and mental good
'bound to follow.
Taking Hold In Earnest.
The interest 'taken by the young
amen of the city is manifest in the ac
tion of 'the meeting held yesterday af
ternoon. It was voted to raise $5,000
among the clerks. railro3ad men and
wage earners generally. One young
an present subscribed $120 and two
others pledged $100, each.
'A committee of 'five was appointed
to, canvass the city, with particular
r iafeýrece to the young men. W. W.
k,.~Cas wie made chairman and the
other members are Samuel Reid, C.
U. .ell, Professor 8. .B. Dove and M3r.
. Tonight the oomeittee will
m l. arnang e for enteriag upon
its work at once. Pledges will be
'taken on the basis of a certain sum to
be paid each month for a period of a
year.
In addition to this canvass steps
will also be taken for the purpose of
enlisting the co-operation of t.he busi
ness men. As explained by Mr. Par
sons, this is usually done through the
organization of a ctizens' committee
of seven or more members, prominent
business and professional men. A
meeting will be called soon, when
the details of the Y. M. C. A. work,
its value to the city and facts as to
work and buildings in other places
will 'be presented.
Good Business Proposition.
In speaking of the matter this
morning 'to The Gazette Mr. Parsons
sai'd:
"The fact is, it's a business propo
sition of so practical a character that
men of ordinary sagacity, when fully
acquainted with the real 'merits of the
projects cannot fail to'belieVe in it and
support it. Other cites with less
wealth and enterprise are pgutting up
fine Y. M. C. A. buildings costing all
t'he way from $25,000 to $50,000."
'When asked as to the .manner usu
ally employed in securing the neces
sary money for the erection of build
ings Mr. Parsons said Ithat in all
cases it was pledged as a straight do
nation. "In most cities," he contin
ued, "large leading subscriptions are
secured from one or two men. At
Calgary recently Patrick Burns, a
cattle men, headed the business
men's subscription list with $5,000. In
Grand Forks, N. D., R. B. Griffiths, a
merchant, gave $5,000; Sidney Clark,
bank cashier, $2,500, and nine other
men gave $1,000 each. In Walla
Walla a short 'time ago a man gave
$20,000, conditional upon the citizens
raising $25,000 more.
"To make a $30,000 enterprise go
in Billings a leading subscription of
$5,000 is almost necessary. Those
who have taken the matter in hand
feel 'almost certain that it will be se
cured."

The Simplon Pass.
The Simplon pass always has been
the great highway of travel from
Switzerland into Italy. It was used by
Caesar and his legions as far back as
50 B. C., and, although Napoleon hap
pened to use the St. Bernard pass. he
recognized the superior importance of
the Simplon and ordered a military
road to be bulilt over it to serve in fu
ture camnlpai:is. It was begun in 1500.
but before it was completed, in 1806.

Tihe Original Lovers' Leap.
Sappho's Leap was the name given
to a white cliff or promontory ancient
ly called Leucadia, now Cape Ducato,
at the southern extremity of Santa
Manura, one of the Ionian islands. It
was so called because Sappho, the
poetess, is reported to have thrown
herself from this height into the sea.
A criminal,. with birds attached to him
to break his fall, was thrown from the
cliff at the annual festival of Apollo.
and if he reached the water unhurt he
was picked up by boats placed there
for that purpose. This is the rock from
which, according to the story, lovers
throw themselves in order to be free
from the pangs of love.
Three Things Desired.
As a result of observation and reflec

men and measures in wide variety I
would desire for my country three
things above all others to supplement
American civilization: From Great
Britain, her administration of criminal
justice; from Germany, her theater,
and from any or every European coun

To have him temperate, be temperate

To have him kind to others, be your

Lincoln's Retort to Douglas.
Douglas, meeting Lincoln on one oc
casion during the exciting campaign of
1860, made a characteristically unpleas
ant remark, saying:
"Why, Abe, I remember you when
you were nothing but a young clerk in
a little western town, peddling out
goods at retail and selling liquor over
the counter."
"Yes," answered Lincoln, "the only
difference between you and me was
that I was on one side of the counter
and you were on the other."
The Era of Notle.
What an age of noise this Is! Do
you know any single human being who
is capable of being silent for an hour
at a stretch? I know two, and I value
them according to their rarity. Not
only does everybody talk, but almost
everybody talks loud. I went into a
shop the other day, amd the clatter of
conversation sounded as though the
place were full of people. Yet all the
noise was produced by three 'individ
uals. Why should they shout?-Lon
