One could easily bear to
be poor; one could even
boar to tnkc his wife and children down with
him into poverty- so long as he could be with
them to help carry the load, and carry the hear
. iest part himself.
But to go off to his eternal rest, and to, leave
them to " go down into poverty and, to fight the
Wolf from the door what prospect more terrible
than this to look forward to? Lyman Abbott.

ANCIENT CITY IS CHAN-CHAN
Today Nothing but a Mass of Ruin,
but Was Flourishing Before Pi
zarro Ravished Peru.
Chnn-Chnn Is not, ns the nnme
would Indicate, n plnco In Clilna. It
is one of the oldest cities In Peru, or
In the world. The Chlmus, who built
Chan-Chan, nre supposed tp have been
nn elderly rnce when tho Incns were
yet barbarians. After a Urao the In
cas became civilized nnd powerful and
captured Chnn-Chnn. Then I'lznrro
came to plunder and wreck tho city
nnd massncro the Inhabitants. So
much of tho Chlmus' history Is do
ducted from the remains of Chan-Chan
nnd old Spanish narratives.
The people who inhabited tho old
metropolis were moon worshipers.
The moon, they said, was tho most
worthy deity of nature, for it shone
not only at night but also In tho dny,
whereas tho sun could shlno In tho
day only. Tho sea was supposed to
' bo under the special protection of tho
moon, bocauso the latter controlled
Uio tides. Images of fish nnd other
sen creatures and temples to both
moon nnd sea were therefore built by
tho Chlmus and many have been un
covered In the ruins of their city.
Chnn-Chnn has since tho tlmo of ri
zarro been a heap of wreckage. There
arc palaces, workshops, factories and
great battered pyramids built up In
terraces and surmounted by buildings.
These nro tho,1. mounds In which tho
Chlmu (load onco lay. Llko tho Egyp
tians, Iheso peoplo burled with their
dead many articles of t.helr pcrsonnl
property. From ono of theso mounds
n Spanish adventurer obtained $3,
000,000 worth of gold and silver. For
' mnny years Chnn-Chnn yielded to tho
Spanish conquerors fabulous sums of
Aold.

lof manhood and womanhood. It is a
great thing to build bridges nnd rail
roads, but it Is ,0. greater thjing to
I build character In growing boys and
girls, for they aro a community's
greatest asset for tho future.
wo havo been teaching our boys and
girls that they owo something to their
community which Is, of course, true.
The parellel truth to this is that tholr
thorn. They will make the community
hem. Thoy wfill mako tho community
what It is to bo tomorrow, and what
they nre to be depends, largely upon
what the community does for them to
day. Tho Boy Scout and Camp Fire Girl
organizations aro groat constructive
forces In the development of young
life. Every ditlzon of North Platto
should give loyal and liberal support
to mako these organizations perma
nent In this city. Let us show our
boys and girls, In tho flnnntfnl cam
paign next week, that $5,000 Is not
too much for us to Invest In them.

3rrs. Snyder fclves Toast.
At tho banquet to the cadet band,
given Friday evening of last week by
mothers of tho boys who are mem
bers, Mrs. Snydor gave the following
toast on behalf of tho mothers:
"To a mother, her boy's first cry Is
music his first laugh and whistle are
all a matter of prldo with her so It Is
not surprising that wo mothers should
bo very proud of this band and its
leader, not only because of what you
nave already accomplished, but be-
causo of what your present nnd future
attainments may bo tho resuts of. Wo
mothers all know that boys of your
agos need nil tho refining and civiliz
ing (?) influences possible as well as
plenty, of wholesome outlets for your
surplus energy and I llko to think of
this band as a means of the character
growth of Its' members. You aro tak
ing your laborious way thru discord
and dlscouragemont, thru major and
minor keys to a beautifully finished
performance; and In your life you nro
meeting these snmo conditions. Let us
hope that ypu will bo as eagor to im-
provo and as obedient to tho call of
your bottor natures as you nro to your
loader s baton. In other words, boys,
grow pnst tho "Jazz" stago of your kid
days, into a grand symphony, of man
hood and thon your mothers will bo
doubly proud for you and happy with
you."
