The Editor commends his letter to tho at tention of all thoughtful rcadors. North Platto, Nehr., 3-2921. EWitor of tho Tribune, Dear Sir: I am what might bo called a' tran sient, as I only niakc North Platto my homo when 1 visit herd. However a.I.go about your beautiful city and ag 1 )pok at your" many beautiful homes, I'o'ften ask myself If these arc really homes. And 1 wonder Jf tho parents iri these homes give much earnest thought to tho greatest asset In these homes tho boys and girls. "f!l am lead to boltevc thoro.Is plenty at money in North Platto to invest In any real enterprise that will bring good returns In dollars and conts to tho lnydBtbrs. i wonder if an investment In' real lifo for tho boys and girls would- arouse tho samo Interest. I Bold I am a transient, but aro wo not all tronolonta for that matter? And la tills connection tUcro comes fo my mind tho work of a Very dear friend tJho nfor her com'orslon fifty-seven years ago felt called upon to dovoto b'orllfo to helping savo those girls who jitullcft homo and gono astray, Sho wimt to tho city nd often at midnight without tho aid of a policeman sho wjrald go to tho slums nd try and fescuo tho lost ones for whom Christ gavb his life. Sho was successful In rescuing many and those she took to tho homo of which sho wus matron. Finally horown health broke down and slid wont to her home. When sho died her last words woro these "I wish all my friends could soo how thin the veil Is between tho two worlds." I wish to God there wcro men and womon In tho churches of North Platto who would got tho vision of the ncedrf of tho young pcoplo of this city. There aro somo who could set in motion the machinery which would holrj. dovelop tho highest Ideals In our yoong men and womon. I have heard "several young men express their longing for a Y. M. C, A. In North Platto and this olppoalod to me in a very pathetic way. I hope and pray that sufficient Interest inny be aroused in the moral and religious elcmont of this beautiful city so that tltoy Will tako those steps In this matter which will promote in terest In tho vory best things in moral and christian citizenship And I want theso things to bo done ore moro par ents and citizens realize tho bitter meaning of those words "It might have been."

MOUNTAIN GOAT WAS READY And Eagle Knew Better Than to Force the Issue With Such an Adversary. "The writer once witnessed a fight between a golden caglo nnd n full crown mountain goat This fight took place on a high divide In the Bull .rlvcr country In British Columbia," snys Charles S. Smith in an nrtlclo In Boys' Life,, entitled "The Rocky Moun tain Sheep at norac." "I was stalking the goat at the time for the purposcsof taking somo photo graphs as close up as I could get, and was working my way cautiously from rock to rock, keeping concealed from tho goat, who was feeding on n Httlo flat space on the top of the mountain. As I peered around the projecting point of n crag I saw tho goat sudden ly wheel and look toward a small point sticking up oh top ot the rldgo and there, comlngovfr the top of the point was a very ldrgc golden eagle, flying just above tho surface of tho ground and coming directly at tho goat Tho goatBtoodwIth head low ered and when tho eagle Came within about ten feet of him, It suddenly swooped Into th air' about fifteen or twenty feet high, turned completely over nnd dropped like a plummet at the goat. I wondered what the goat would do, but evidently ho had It all figured out, for as the eagle descended he reared on his hind feet, stood straight up and slashed his head from sldo to side, his horns describing n circle In he air, their sharp points up ward; the old eagle evidently knew fetter than to try to drop on n thing of that sort or to try to seizo It, so he caught himself In his swift descent and volplaned over the side of the ridge j hero over n deep, dnrk canyon ho circled several times, the goat standing watching until he disappeared over tho shoulder of the mountain."
