at is unfortunately out of the

me to accept your invitation to speak
at the boy scout banquet. I am very
sorry. l earnestly believe IN the boy
scout movement. because l see the
national possibility of this movement
among boys There are several
things which we should see in the
lives of our American boys. They
should grow up strong and alert, able
to stand the strain OF an honest days

to help forward the material and
moral progress OF our nation.
URGES GOOD MANNERS.
American boyhood should be re-
sourceful and inventive, so that the
American man Of the future may be
ever ready to help In the hour of the
nations need. American boys should
always show good manners and the
desire TO help those who are in trou-
BILE or difficulty, and, indeed. to help
the weak at all times. Courtesy Is
as much the mark OF a gentleman as
truthfulness and courage, and every
American boy should be a gentleman.
fearless in defending his own rights
and the rights OF the weak and
scrupulous to infiict no wrong on
others.
The boy who is to grow into the
right kind of a man should scorn
lying as he scorns cowardice and he
should remember that the right kind
OF strong man is always considerate
of and courteous toward others. In
this nation of ours the ideal OF ev-
eryone should be 10 help in the work
of all. Therefore, let each boy try
to render service to others. and try
TO do well every task that comes to
his hands, big or little"

sTAKED HIS HEAD.
The Wager Sir William st. Clair Laid
With kinq Robert Bruce.

Edwin Noble in "The Dog Lovers
Book" recalls the historic story of the
two famous deerhounds Help and
Hold, a monument to which can be
seen to this day at Roslin chapel.
The legend is that King Robert
Bruce while hunting upon the Pent-
land hills had several times started
a white deer. but had hitherto been
unable to capture 1t. 1t had always
so quickly outdistanced his own
hounds that he began to imagine that
1t was gifted with supernatural pow
ers and could not be overtaken by
mortal dogs. Naturally his mobiles
agreed with him, as there was no one
bold enough to affirm that he owned
hounds which were better than those
possessed by his sovereign.
There was, however, one exception,
William st. Clair, who wagered his
head that his two favorite hounds.
Help and Hold, would kill the deer
before she crossed the Pentland brook.
Bruce accepted the challenge and wa
gered the forest of Pentland moor
against Sir Williams head
The white deer was reused by a cou.
pie of bloodhcunds and given a fail
start before st. Clair released his two
favorites. After long chase, follow
ed by Sir William and Bruce on horse
back, the deer reached the brook, ant

lost his wager, prepared to give him

and, Help coming up at the same mo

ulated boundary.

Dreams as Omens.

From the earliest times recorded In
history men have believed in the
prophetic character of dreams. So far
as we know, the first to deliberately
and Systematically attempt the inter-
probation of dreams was Amphyctyun
of Athens, who lived about the year
1900 B. C. The Bible mentions dreams
In many places, and we are entitled
TO conclude from the Biblical refer
ences that there were professional In
terpreters of dreams who were not in
frequently resorted to by the dream
ers.-Exchange.

new GASOLINE
ELECTRIC TRAINS
Latest Type of Passenger Car Needs
No Locomotive to Haul It
over the Rails.

The latest type of passenger car
needs no locomotive to haul it over the
rails. Swiftly, silently it rushes from
station to station, discharging passen-
gers and express, loading and unload
ing, with never a hint of the mysteri-
Gus power which propels it from place
to place.
To use big powerful steam locomo-
tive, capable of hauling string of
freight cars half a mile long, to rush
two small passenger cars from station
to station, on a small branch line, is
the height of extravaganza. 1t is like
hitching a big Percheron to goat
cart. The big engine eats up all the
proins of the undertaking. 1t would
also cost fortune to completely cleo
trify all the small branch lines of the
steam railroads in this country, in
stalling power plants, distributing sta
lions, overhead wires or third rails.
The new gas-electric passenger cars
are the very latest step in solving the
question of greater economy in rail
road transportation. They do away
with the costly locomotive, with an
average life of but five years, and, at
the same time, give all the benefits Of
electric cars. They operate by cleo
