The Origin of the Boy Scouts.

The Boy Scouts of America are now
said to number 300, 900, and already there
are discussions as to just how the move
ment began, reminding US of the endless
questions about the origin of baseball.
On the whole, the scout idea seems to
be American in origin, although it is
certain that Genera Baden-Powell used
boy-scouts as messengers during the
siege of Mafeking. According to Dan
Beard Baden-Powell himself declares
that he "cribbed" the scout idea. A
fair statement of the case is made by
John L. Alexander, secretary of the Boy
Scouts of America, who in "Harper's
Camping and Scouting writes as fol-
lows: General Baden-Powell drew large
ly from all sources, and there is hardly a
book written on boyhood that has not
been forced to contribute something to
the movement. He drew more fully
upon the works Of Ernest Thompson
Seton, of the Woodcraft Indians, and
Dan Beard, Of the Boy Pioneers, or Sons
of Daniel Boone, SO that even if the
movement was started in England, its
principles and fundamentals were pro-
duced on American SOIL.

A Remarkable Newspaper.

In British Columbia, says writer in
the November Strand Magazine, the re is
little newspaper, the Kamloops Wawa,
circulating among several tribes of North
American Indians. The unique feature
of this journal is that it is printed in
shorthand. Its story is remarkable
one. Some years ago the Rev. J. M. LIE
Jeune, Breton missionary, arrived in
British Columbia to take charge of a
territory some fifty miles square. He
found the great obstacle to his work to
be the absence of any means of written
communication, as the natives had no
written language of their own. His re-
peated efforts to teach them to read and
write by ordinary methods failed entire
ly. The missionary was acquainted with
the simple French Duployan shorthand,
and then conceived the novel idea of
teaching the Indians to write their own
language Theoretically by means of the
shorthand characters. He adapted the
stenographic signs to the Chinook Ian
guage, and the experiment proved COM
plete success. There are today three
thousand Indians able to write and read
their own language by no other means
than shorthand. "Wawa" means "talk"
in the Chinook, hence the title of the little
newspaper which has been the natural
outcome of the missionary's undertake

THE TRIAL AT LOS ANGELES.

There is proceeding at Los Angeles the
trial of three men for murder. 1t is an
exceedingly important and interesting
trial, every step of which will be watch
ed from one end of the country to the
other. But somehow it does not seem to
be rated merely as murder trial. Cir
cumstances have made it seem rather to
be trial OF strength between capital
and union labor, and a test Of the power
of the courts in the United States to ad-
minister justice. Since the first day the
men were arrested, union labor and
socialism have ranged up on their side.
The reason is that one of the accused is a
high officer Of the structural iron work
ers' union. 1t is natural that the friends
of organized labor should hope for his
acquital, and it is proper that they
should raise, as they have, fund for his
defense.
Mr.. Gompers and many others have
practised to give the appearance that
union labor is on trial at Los Angeles.
The defense, SO far as it has gone at this
writing, seems to work steadily to
strengthen that impression, questioning
the first juryman as to his views about
organized labor, and aiming to reject
him because of a supposed bias against
it. But it seems to US that the great
mass of citizens who are watching this
trial do not take this view of it that it is
the trial of union labor. Most of them
believe in organized labor as necessary
institution that has come to stay, and
cannot be seriously affected by this trial,
however it goes. But they do not be-
lieve in murder and destruction by ex.
plosives in aid of any great American
cause, however good. To them this tria
is a murder trial. If the accused are
guilty as charged, they want them hang
ed; if they are innocent, they want then
acquitted; if there has been conspiracy
to convict them contrary to fact. they
want it to be exposed and punished
They want justice done; nothing more
nothing less. -Harper's Weekly.

SHOE TRADE AWAKENING.

More than ordinary significance at
taches to Wednesday nights demonstra-
ton before the Boston Boot and Shoe
Club. 1t appears that the leaders in the
great industry there represented have
decided that they do not want to be
singled out for reprisal. Their products
have been put squarely on the free list in
one of the bills which the Democrats of
Massachusetts,, in State convention as
sembled, officially commended. The pop
ular endorsement of such platform, by
the leading shoe manufacturing State in
the country, would effectively stop any
further protest that might be made
against free shoes. When the Massa-
chusetts manufacturer goes to Washing
ton next winter to see why shoes should
be on the free list, when so many of the
constituent elements that enter into their
production are enhanced in price by the
tariff, he would be met by statesmen
from Oklahoma and Arkansas with the
assertion that a Massachusetts plat
form commencing free shoes had found
the support of a majority Of Massachu-
sets votes, and the jig would he up.
This is what Foss' election would mean
1t is not strange, then. that boot and
shoe manufacturers in many parts of the
State are forming associations to set
forth the effects of the policy now
threatened. The thoughtful remarks of
John F. Tobin, representing the organ
lied labor of the industry, were especial
ly notable.
The boot and shoe industry is no men
dicant; it asks no special favors. 1t
merely requests that it be not singled
out for an application of protection re-
versed. 1t wants Massachusetts, which
more than any other State in the Union
depends on this industry, to refrain on
November 7th from announcing herself
Indifferent to how it may be treated. -

GETTING INSTRUCTIONS.

Mr.. Hitchcock, the new editor of the
great daily, had only the junior reporter
at hand, and news of a shooting case had
come in.
A man had married girl at o'clock
the afternoon before, and at o'clock
the same evening had shot at her five
times.
"What shall do?" asked the reporter
"Get an interview from the girl, said
Hitchcock
''But don't know what to ask her"
objected the reporter.
Hitchcock got up from his chair, walk
ed over to the wall and beat his head
against the plaster three times.
IL don't think you understand" he
told the youth with as much patience as
he could muster. Married at O'Clock
and shot at five times at O'Clock. Go
and get the story"
"Well, what shall l ask herr" queried
the reporter.
Hitchcock, looking panied and grieved,
said: "Ask her whether she considers
the conduct of her husband an insult or
merely studied Indifference. London

WHEN A TONIC
IS REQUIRED
Headaches, Backaches, Loss of
Weight, Lack of Appetite,
Energy and Ambition, In
dictate the Need Of a
Blood Builder.

When the health is run down from
overwork, overstudy, or any other
cause, good tonic is needed.
But sometimes what is mistaken for
simple debility is symptom of more
serious disorder, anamia perhaps, or
breaking down of the nervous system.
By taking a tonic that is also specific
for many disorders OF the blood and
nerves the threatening disease may be
prevented. Such a remedy is DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
blood building and nerve-strengthening
tonic that has cured many cases where
other medicines had been tried without
benefit.
The case OF Mrs Charles A. Joy, of
Ellsworth Falls, Me-, shows conclu-
sively the value of these pills as tonic
for all rundown conditions. She SAYS:
81 was sick for nearly year and the
doctors said | was run down and that
my blood was in poor condition. |
think the trouble was due to overwork.
I felt tired out all OF the time. Ididn't
have a very good appetite and didn't
eat much. l had great deal OF head
ache in the back of my head. 1t was
more noticeable whenever | lay on my
back. My hands used to get quite
numb, l lost in flesh and had to be
easy on myself.
81 was treated by doctors for several
months but they didn't cure me. Then
my mother had me try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. l hadn't
taken Them long before began to have
an appetite. I gained in flesh and
have been quite well since. l have
used the pills in my family a good deal
and think very highly OF them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured anamia, chlorosis, after-efects
Of the grip and fesers and should be
used wherever tonic for the blood and
nerves is needed.
The pills are sold by all druggists, or
will be sent postpaid, on receipt of price,
so cents per box; six boxes for $3.50,
by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. A valuable book
let, Diseases of the Blood, contain
ing fuller information will be sent free
upon request.

position to place larger contracts to cover fu-
