A Few Thoughts
From LongfeIlow

Every great poem is in itself limited
by necessity, but in its suggestion I'M
limited and infinite
1t is bv the wears skirts that the
devil climbs into the belfry.
Who dares
To say that he alone has found the
truth:
Don't cross the bridge til you come
to it,
Is a proverb ole and oi excellent wit
Nothing with God can be acciden-
tai.
Be still. sad heart, and cease repining,
Behind the clouds the sun is still shin
ing;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
Many readers Judge Of the power Of
a book by the shock it gives their feel
ings.
Authors have a greater right than
any copyright though it is generally
unacknowledged or disregarded. They
There are favorable hours for reading
a book, as for writing it, and to these
the author has claim. Yet many peo-
pie think that when they buy book
they buy with it the right to abuse the
author.
o lost days OF delight that are wasted
in doubling and waiting!
O lost hours and DAYS in which we
might have been happy!
Build me straight, o worthy Master! .
Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel
That shall laugh at all disaster
And with wave and whirlwind wres
tie!
Three silences there are the first OF
speech,
The second of desire, the third Of
thought
Man-like is it to fall into sin;
Fiend- like is it to dwell therein.
You know | say
Just what think, and nothing more
or less.
And. when | pray. my heart is in my
prayer.
| cannot say one thing and mean an
other,
Ii | can't pray | will not make believe
God sent His Singers upon earth
With songs OF sadness and OF mirth,
That they might touch the hearts OF
men
And bring them back to Heaven again.

CHAPTER xvIl.-contlnued.

HE thought himself safe" contin-
ued Orme, "but my friend had caught
the back of the motor car Just as 1t
started. He climbed silently into the
tonneau, and throwing his arm around
the neck of the thief, pulled him back

however, had his leg broken"
What happened thenY inquired
the minister; for Orme had paused.
"Oh, my friend took the proxies
from the thief's pocket and walked
away. He stopped at the nearest
farmhouse and sent help back"
Even in America" commented the
minister, "the frien's of the injured
man might see that his hurt was
avenge. The man who caused the &C
nident should be made to suffer"
"Oh, no" said Orme. IF the matter
were pressed at all, the correct thing
to do would be to arrest the man
with the broken leg. He had stolen
the papers In the first place. Harm

with the papers after stealing them.
But as a matter Of fact, the average
American would consider the affair at
an end"
Your story and m,ne are dissim-
ilar," remarked the minister.
Perhaps. But they involve a SINH
lar question: Whether a mar should
yield passively to a power that ap-
pears to be stronger than his own. In
America we do not yield p~assively
unless We understand all the bearings
of the case, and see that 1t is right
to yield"
At this moment a motor car came

down the veranda. But the minister
jumped to his feet and called:

Orme looked back. please be 80

lister.
With mere ~politeness, Orme halted,
md took a step back toward his chair.
An air of startled expectancy was
manifest In the position taken by the
different members of the group. The
minister's voice had sounded sharp
and authoritative, and he now stepped
forward a pace OF two, stopping at a
point where the light from one of the
clubhouse windows fell full on his
face. Clearly he was laboring under
great excitement.

ENCOURAGE the BOYS.

When a boy presents an idea that
is feasible, pat him on the back and
encourage him, and he will develop a
love for agriculture and become the
pride Of your heart in your declining
years and will love the homes and
the farms that you have worked 90
hard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in your case
by all mean give the boy a chance
to begin without your handicap.

good enough for the boy" is a maxim
unworthy Of a New England farmer.
Give the boy a chance at an agr1cut-
tural education and he will help you

and present into a brighter future.

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrates HUI
mar Life Is Qulckened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with it's mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one Of the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever 1t p~enetrates, in prudently regu-
lated moderation, it quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one Of
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
e for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt-
edly a great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health. More
window light. more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments, kitchen, sitting rooms,
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.

asked me to spend the night with her
instead of returning to Chicago. She
promised to send her car for me. 1t
was long enough coming, goodness
knows, but IL 1t had appeared sooner, /
should have gone before you arrived"
Orme understood. The girl had
telephoned to Bessie while he waited
there on La Sale street. She had
planned a meeting that would satisfy
him with full knowledge of her name
and place. And the lateness Of the
car in reaching Arradale was unques-
tionably owing to the fact that it had
not set out on its efrand until after
the girl reached home and gave her
chauffeur the order. Orme welcomed
this evidence that she had got home
safely.
Bessie jumped lightly into the ton
neau, and Orme followed. The car
glided from the grounds. Eastward
it went, through the pleasant, rolling
farming country, that was wrapped in
the beauty Of the starry night. They
crossed a bridge over a narrow creek.
you would hardly think" said Bes-
sic, that this is so-called north branch
of the Chicago river"
Il would believe anything about that
river" he replied.
She laughed nervously. He knew
that she was suppressing her natural
interest in the scene she had wit
messed on the veranda; yet, of course,
she was expecting some explanation.
Bessie" he said, II am sorry to
have got into such a muss there at
the club. The Japanese minister was
the last man I wanted to see."
She did not answer.
Perhaps your friend-whom we are
10 going to visit-will explain things
a little," he went on. 7 can tell you
only that l had in my pocket certain
papers which the Jap would have
given much to get hold Of. He tried it
by accusing me of stealing them from
him. 1t was very awkward"
Il understand better than you
think" she said, suddenly. Don't you
see, you big stupid, that I know where
we are going? That tells me some
thing. / can put two and two to-

Then l needn't try to do any more

car turned at a crossing--"we are go
ing northward. We are bound for
the village of Winnetka. Does that
tell you anything?"
Nothing at ALL" said Orme, striving
vainly to give the Indian name a place
in his mind.
On they sped. Orme looked at his
watch. 1t was half-past ten.
1--WE must be nearly there" he said.
Eyes. it's only a little way, now"
They were going eastward again,
following a narrow dirt road. Sud
denly the chauffeur threw the brakes
on hard. Orme and Bessie, thrown
forward by the sudden stopping,
clutched the sides Of the car. There
was a crash, and they found them
selves in the bottom of the tonneau.
Orme was unframed. Are you all
right, Bessie?" he asked.
"All right" Her voice was CHEEKY.
He leaped to the road. The chauf-
feur had descended and was hurrying
to the front of the car.
What was it," asked Orme.
/. Some one pushed a wheelbarrow
into the road just as we were com
ing"
"a wheelbarrowi"
Eyes, sir. There 1t is."
Orme looked at the wheelbarrow.

car. He peered off into the field at
the left. Dimly he could see a run.

rail fence and started in pursuit.
1t was a hard sprint. The running
man was fast on his feet, but his
speed did not long serve him, for he
stumbled and fell. He did not rise,
and Orme, coming up, for the moment
supposed him to be stunned.
Bending over, he discovered that
the PROSTATE man was painting hard,
and digging his hands into the turf.
Get up" commanded Orme.
The man got to his knees and, turn
ing, raised supplicating hands.
"Poritol!" exclaimed Orme.
"Oh, Mr.. Orme, spare me. 1t was
an accident" His face worked con-
vulsively. I'll" Something like q
sob escaped him, and Orme again
found himself divided between con-
tempt and pity.

they registered themselves.
There are now only 400 Of them left,

manhood it is tine physiological time when the boys activities most need ? directing along useful channels. Scout ing takes boy at this critical period in his life and provides him with healthful outdoor recreation which at the same time gives him an outlet for his pent up energies, and practical means of applying these energies; it instills in his mind love of all manly virtues, and emphasizes those virtues that the boy is apt to count least, such as courtesy, gentleness and thought fitness for others; it trains him, more over, to be observant, alert and self reliant; it aims to give the boys son e. thing to do, something to think about. something to enjoy out of doors with view always to character building.
 The boy scout is taught that his body must be made strong and supple, bis muscles hard and powerful, his perception keen, his power of obser- vation must be quickened and trained, and his power of endurance cultivated and strengthened. He is further taught the importance of keeping his body clean, his mind wholesome and his life pure; these requisites are incul- cated through stories about campfire, and by other practical means. We all realize that boys growth is through activities; if he don't do something good, he will most certainly do some- thing wrong; he simply has to do sometbing; that IS his dominant in- stinct.
 We find that the scout movement answers the purpose exactly; it is u movement for all boys alike, and one Tn which, if the principles for which the organization stands are properly taught, keeps the boy busy all the time. It teaches him the practical problems of this day, and gives him chance to take the initiative in all lines of work; putting him on his own resources, and thus teaching the inde- pendence which is needed to make a successful man.
 We ask for the hearty cooperation of all those who have tue welfare of the boys at heart, and we solicit your help toward this movement.
