in the report of the state executive
committee prepared by Chairman .
J. Hill of the state committee and read
by C. M. Mayne of Lincoln to the del
egates at the opening of the state con
vontlon In Norfolk. Never in fifteen
years , the report said , had the condi
tion of the Nebraska association been
bettor nor the outlook more promising
In the last Uftccn years.
Six notable events In the past year
were outlined : The state convention
at Columbus where a movement for anew
now Y. M. C. A. building was started
by C. C. Sheldon giving $5,000 on con
ditlon that $25,000 more be raised , the

more essential things in the secretary's
work for the year.

G30.32 in receipts and $5,610.49 dis
bursements.
Chairman Hill pointed out that the
work of the past six years had boon
along the line of extension. Ho
thought that the time had now arrived j
for Intensive work and work along
educational lines. Several specific rec
ommendations were made. Ho asked
that $7,000 be raised for the current
expenses of the state executive com
mittee.
"With our eyes to the front , " the
report closed , "May we not catch a
vision of the possibilities before us
and go forward with enthusiasm as
sured of great results in the upbuilding
and strengthening of the young man
hood of our state. "
200 SAT DOWN FOR SUPPER.
Enthusiasm Waa Aroused by a Num
ber of Visitors In Norfolk.
Almost 200 men , Norfolk men and
delegates attending the state Y. M ,
C. A. convention , sat down to a de
licious supper served in Marquardt
hall at 7 o'clock last evening. It was
purely an informal event , but served
to bring the people of Norfolk and the
out of town guests close together at
the very beginning of the convention ,
After a word of invocation pro
nounced by Rev. W. J. Turner , pastoi
of the First Congregational church ol
Norfolk , the guests enjoyed the repasl
served to them by a score of pretty
young women , prettily gowned.
At the close of the supper State Sec
retary Bnlley announced the Uellovuc
quartet , which pleased with three se
lections. Mr. Bailey and C. E. Burn i.
ham of Norfolk jointly acted as toast
masters.
W. W. Hughes , general secretary al
Central City , formerly of Norfolk , en
tertalned the audience with a well rcn
dered reading , "Down at the Capital. '
President A. J. Durland of the Nor
folk Commercial olub in a few briel
words pleasantly extended the guesti
a welcome to Norfolk.
Mr. Snyder , president of the Fremont
mont association , told how Fromon
has built a handsome Y. M. C. A. build
Ing and hoped that Norfolk would dt
likewise. ,
State Treasurer M. C. 8te le o :

leges and opportunities afforded by a
Y. M. C. A. Communities do not ap
preciate young men HttliiKly unloBS

Hiild the Y. M. C. A. "Itch" Is catching.
11. C. Wade , general secretary at
Omaha , diow applause when ho said
that Omaha has the largest boys' de
partment In the world. Ho Invited all
NebVaska people to visit the splendid
$300,000 building there.
W. D. Mcado of York , a business
man , said that the work of conducting
n Y. M. C. A. only begins with the
raising of money. Ho told of more
than 100 baths given to boys on one
afternoon recently. Ho wondered
where they bathed before they got a
Y. M. C. A.
Dr. C. S. Parker of Norfolk was
called on unawares , but they couldn't
lose him. He was there with his usual
wit. "I have only been asked three
times to open my mouth , " said he.
"Onco was when a brother dentist
wanted to got even ; ouco when my
mother tried to pour castor oil down
my throat ; and tonight. And I assure
you I enjoyed both former Incidents
more than this. " Ho said this Y. M. C.
A. movement is the most popular wave
that has struck Norfolk. The girls
want It because the boye do every
girl loves somebody.
S. G. Mayer of Norfolk was equal
to the summons for an Impromptu
speech and In brief but very happily
chosen remarks ho emphasized Nor
folk's need of a Y. M. C. A.
C. M. Mhync , general secretary at
Lincoln , made one of the prettiest and
most appealing little speeches that
has ver been heard in Norfolk. A
handsome fellow to begin with , and
with a clear , strong voice , ho made a
deep Impression when ho told of a
young man coming to Nebraska in
1893 , looking for work , out of money.
The young man received a message
saying that his mother was dying In
.ho east. A big strong man In the Y.
M. C. A. building at Omnha told the
grlefstrlckcn young man to go out and
see what he could do to get the money
for ills trip home ; if ho failed , to re
turn before train time. "That man
was the personification of Y. M. C. A.
it was the late Dean Gartner and
he will never bo forgotten in this world
as long as I live , for I was that young
man , " said Mr. Mayne. Mr. Mayno
told how business men at Lincoln
the brother of S. G. Mayor and others
take gymnasium work every day and
are stronger for It.
C. H. Reynolds of Norfolk , division
superintendent of the Northwestern
railroad , and nn employer of men ,
spoke with keen wit and then serious
ly dealt with the location of the pro
jected Y. M. C. A. building as an Im
portant matter. He said that it never
hurt an applicant to say that he be
longed to the Y. M. C. A.
N. A. Huse of Norfolk spoke briefly
of the advantages of a gymnasium.
F. A. McCornack , a well known
Sioux City banker , delivered a serious
and decidedly impressive address upon
the Y. M. C. A. Ho said $16,400,000
Is now Invested in Y. M. C. A. build
ings in the United States. This in
vestment has been made after careful
thought and in conservative fashion
It is a good investment. It helps
young manhood to live In a manly
manner. A new Y. M. C. A. build
ing is equipped and dedicated every
live days. What a small boy does in
idle hours after supper has more to
do with his future than all his schoo
work. Mr. McCornack's Ideal man Is
the man whose mother , wife and chil
dren will never bo ashamed to own
him as son , husband and father ; a man
whose city and state may not bo
ashamed of ; one of whom , when ho
dies , it may be said , "A man is dead. "
The Indian quartet rendered a se-
ection that was well received ,
The evening closed with a brief
story by Mr. McDlll , International sec
retary of the railroad department of
Y. M. C. A. work.

The drawing of the people of Colum
ns together an a result of the Y. M.
2. A. campaign was worth more than
30,000 , according to C. C. Sheldon ,
vho was one of the principal men in '
aislng the subscription. He said that
Columbus like Norfolk had had an as-
Delation in rented quarters and had
een It starve to death in the hard
Imes , that Columbus asked for the
onvention last year , that they drew
nsplration from the convention and
eclded at the Sunday meeting to make
canvass. In three weeks of actual
work and in six weeks time $30,300
was subscribed by a little over 300
people.
W. W. Stoner , city superintendent at
York , explained that the York assocla-
lon had an Income of $6,000 a year
without any man paying more than
$10 or 115 a year. The York dorml-
ories n t $1,000 a year , the balance
oming from membership fees. York
iias 01 Y. M. C. A. members. Mr.
Stoner said that Norfolk was a town
of York's Hizo and that men who han
dled stag dinners like the Norfolk busi
ness men did at Marquardt hall
wouldn't have any trouble with main-
.alnlng an association.
F. A. McCornack , the Sioux City
banker , told of the need of Y. M. C. A.

It is well hooked. I can ground it

out of the water and it reads , ' $2,000
for a Y. M. C. A.1 If you can get any
bites , go fishing. You can fish on Sun-
[ lay. And if you need any one to help
land I'll come down from Sioux City. "
After President G. G. Wallace oi
Omaha had been presented to the con
vention , the opeaker of the evening.
Rev. Prank L. Loveland , was intro
duced. He Bald in part :
Loveland Charmed Here.
"I have been attending Y. M. C. A
conventions for years. 1 am charmed
at the snap , vim and vigor of this Nor
folk convention.
"Two decades ago a woman child
was born into the world , born blind
born deaf , born dumb. A skillful
teacher was employed to reach the
darkened shadow of her mind. Eacl ;
day for nix months a set of btocki
were placed before her until she
ceased to toss them aside and foun < !
someone trying to communicate will
her. At last she was given an eye
that was not of the flesh , an ear thai
was not material.
"Recently In a magazine I read i
two-page article by this keen anc
splendid scholar , Helen Keller , 'Th <
Art of 8 ing Things. ' 'How awful ii
must be to go through this world ant
never see things , ' she wrote.
"Christ sought men who could se <
things and complained of the eyef
which seeing saw not and the earf
which hearing heard not. This work
is not in danger from the anarchist 01
socialist but from the multltudlnoui
millions who never see anything.
The Art of Seeing.
"A man stood at Niagara Falls ant
his comment was , 'Well , what's t (
hinder it ? ' I was with a man in th <
wondrous Yellowstone park who dii
nothing but complain of the bedtlcks
( lees and hard beds. When that mai
left the park he had seen nothing bu
ticks and fleas and hard beds. A youni
couple ate peanuts while the grea
chorus of the Messiah was throbbini
through the soula of 7,000 people a
the great recital in Chicago ,
"Music is not in the instrument bu
in the eoul. Beauty IB in the eye tba
sees.
HOC the mighty values that arc to bo
found In on Institution HUe the Young
Moil's Christ Ian association you would
1mvo a building worth $30,000 In
eighteen month * . Our mission Is to
et you to see.
"Undorstaiid that these boys are
God's sous. You have no business to
ol one of these boys be lost.
"I will toll yon why the Young Men's
ChriHtlan association has taken such
gigantic strides forward. There has
loeti a revolution In the tests of piety.
Once the test of piety was to retire In
sweet and holy communion' in a snug
parlor In the spiritual realm , saying
How good I am. ' The test today
is In the way you see the beauty In
men about you that they don't see
and then go out to help them. Lock
mil in arm with your boy and my boy
and say 'Let's be men. '
Must Do Something.
"They don't ask whether you've been
sprinkled or plunged or had It rubbed
on. They say to you Baptists that
your church Is not worth ton cents on
the dollar unless you go and do some
thing. They say to you Presbyterians
that the Interstate commerce commis
sion has. taken up your through tick
ets and that you will have to work
your passage. They soy to us Meth
odists that they don't cnro how loud
wo shout or how high wo Jump If we
don't walk straight when wo come
down.
"Today wo don't ' pay much attention
to theology ; we want men to see.
Norfolk a Good Town.
"Norfolk Is one of the best towns In
Nebraska outside of Omaha. This Is
the best day In the best mouth of the
best year of the host century. Don't
believe those who mourn the good old
times and declare that the world is
getting worse and worse and worse.
"Norfolk people must let the boys
know that this Is a better day than
their fathers knew. The saloon has
no right to your boy. Give the boys
your warm support , the glad hand
clasp , your best advice. "
MADE THE TRAIN GO SOME.
Traveling Man Lost His Train But
Not His Temper.
He was a north Nebraska traveling
man stopping at a Gregory , S. D. , hotel.
Ho lingered too long. About train
time he made a wild dash down the
street , arriving at the station just as
the train pulled out.
"Missed your train ? " asked the
'cheerful individual as the traveler
came hack to the hotel.
The traveler simply smiled. "Well ,
guess I made that train go some to
et out of the way , " he said.

- Two Norfolk men were south of

FRESH AIR HOME OF FRED BO-
CHE , NORTH NEBRASKA GIANT.
HIS EIGHTH YEAR IN A TENT
Fred Boche Was Fifty Years Old the
Other Day But Looks Thirty-five.
Has Done Little Trapping This Win
ter Sawing Trees Into Lumber.
For the t'K'litli successive winter
Prod lloche. Madison county's giant ,
IN enjoying life out In the open air.
Nestling In the woodland of his land ,
bordering upon a picturesque little
lake a couple of miles south of Nor
folk , the camp has far eight years past
served as Fred Bocho's only dwelling
place. Here in the open air , with
nothing but canvas between him and
the skies , he has lived and worked and
slept. And at the age of fifty he looks
today , with his great , muscular figure ,
like a young man of thirty-five.
It wan only the other day ground
hog day , Feb. 2 , to be exact thaj. Fred
Bochu celebrated his fiftieth birthday.
And at that ho Is as young as most
boys of half his years.
Six Feet , Ten and a Half.
Fred Boche is a mighty man , stand
ing six feet , ten and a half inches in
height And he Is proportionately
large. And his heart is as big as his
body. He always extends n hearty
welcome to his friends when they drop
in upon him at his camp and he
makes the visit an enjoyable one.
Sawing Up Lumber.
From the mighty cottonwood trees
that covered his land , Boche is making
lumber this winter. Many thousands
of feet of good , solid lumber has he
already realized from that timber.
Massive logs lie all about his camp ,
waiting to be drawn to town by a pair
of horses when the first snow makes
hauling possible. He has a sawmill
on the ground and is sawing up much
of the wood into the finished product.
From this he has built a carpenter
shop and an ice house.
Puts Up His Own Ice.
Into the ice house goes ice that
Boche IH putting up , off his lake , for
his own use next summer. A good
many thousand pounds of it will be
used in his camp for ono thing and
another.
Price of Furs Has Dropped.
As a general thing , Fred Bocho has
spent a great deal of his time in win
ter at trapping. But the bottom has
fallen out of the value of furs and
there's not enough inducement to keep
at it this year. The price of skunk
fur has gone down to about one-fifth
its former size and mink has dropped
a half. There was plenty of trapping
to do when the market was good , the
woods along that lake being inhabited
by many fur-covered little animals.
Heats Tent With Stove.
It is just a little stove , in which
wood is burned , that heats the Boche
tent in the coldest weather. Fred has
slept In there when the temperature
outside was thirty below zero , and he
never minded It a bit. He feels good
he saye , for breathing tn the fresh air
of the out-of-doors all the year around
Eight years ago when the old home
was sold and there was no particular
place that he cared to live , Fred Boche
just decided to establish a fresh air
camp and he has lived there ever
since. ,
