Many noted person to great extent
owes his success and pleasure in life to
the inspiration gained from reading
some book on natural history. The
book was read when the mind was
plastic, and the imagination vivid.
Latent talent was brought out. a thirst
and love for know edge were created
The results were application and in
vestigation, and finally original and
valuable research in some hitherto un-
explored field.
Nature studies appeal to the devei-
oping mind because they are tangible,
concrete, and always appearing in now
el and interesting phases.
The boy and the girl full OF life and
animal spirits must have something to
do. Out-of-door games and sports
have always been popular and always
will be. They are indispensable. We
cannot put a boy into n barrel, nail
the top on tight, tell him to be good +,
and logically expect him to become a
useful man.

BIENNIAL PYTHiAN
C0NCLAVE
The Encampment at Louisville
Kentucky Next Summer To
Surpass In Interest Any
Similar Gathering In
the History Of the
nights sof
Pythias

Supreme Representative G. c. Daw-
son has received most enthus usias tic
letter from the executive committee OF
the Knights OF Pythins Association Of
Louisville, Kentucky, in relation to the
bienneal encampment of the order to
be held in that city next August. The
finance committee Of the supreme
lodge is raising fund OF 800 900 for
the encampment and this amount will
be generously supplemented by the
business and professional men OF
Louisville, who are already coming
forward with their subscriptions with
accustomed liberality.
Chairman Taylor believes that the
scheme Of entertainment which has
been outlined will greatly surpass that
OF any previous encampment and that
the Pythians OF the Supreme Domain
will return to their homes with a vivid
appreciation Of the hospitality OF the
Bluegrass state.
The sum Of t12 900 will be set aside
in prizes for competitive drills; the
nucleus of which has already been
provided by the Grand Lodge of Ken
lucky, which appropriated 5000 for
this purpose.
A band OF from 600 to 200 musicians
may be seen and heard during the en-
campment Hubert Levy, as chairman
Of the music committee, is now engaged
on the program and hopes to be ready
with an announcement of its feasibility
in a short time 1t Is estimated that
not less than sixty bands from every
section OF the United States will be
present and it is proposed that these
bands be massed in one monster
organization the day OF the grand
parade.
Louisville will be very elabbrately
decorated for the Knights OF Pythias
and the decorations and illuminating
committee is now at work on plans for
beatifying the city In honor Of the
visit of the Knights next August. 1t is
estimated that the expenditure to be
made along this line by the committee
itself and by individuals and corpora
tions will aggregate 10000. The com
mittee alone expects to spend sum
ranging from $20, 600 to 25,0Oo in max
ing Louisville a city Of beauty by day
and dream Of brillinncy by night.
1t is certain that Colorado Pythians
who visit the Kentucky metropolis
during the encampmens next summer
will receive n welcome memorable for
its cordially.

For Boys and Girls.

Boys and girls are animals-superior
it is true, in many ways to the earth
worm, the frog, the blue jay, the cat
or the dog and yet like them in many
respects. There is a bond OF sympathy
between the boy and the girl and all
lower animals. Most young people are
also interested in plants.

develops in beauty and variety OF form,
something that becomes more intelli-
