the implements and materials which
the scouts use In practical manner
for the good Of the highways Of the
vicinity. The value that the scouts
might render to the civic prosperity
OF the city has been recognised by the
common council of Poughkeepsie, N. Y
which has voted 10 award a medal to
the scouts who will qualify In certain
lines OF civic knowledge. They must
be able to read the city man give the
names of the streets. the location of
the fire boxes and of the fire COM
panies, the location of the public
buildings and factories and other i'm
portant business places. give the
names OF railroad and steamship lines
touching the city, have n general
knowledge of the city government. its
sewage and garbage systems and
some other matters.
One OF the features which COM
mends itself In the boy scout organ
izafion Is that while It's methods are
military In their. directness and dis
cipline. the organization itself tends
towards peace. The use of firearms
Is absolutely prohibited. Tn their camp
life. the scouts learn Workmanship
by using bows and arrows which they
may purchase from headquarters or
make for themselves In true Indian
fashion. No scout Is permitted to
carry any kind of firearm. This rule
Is being absolutely adhered to In re-
gard to the American Boy Scouts of
Los Angeles. who applied through
their secretary for admission to the
Boy Scouts of America. They num-
bered over 1900 and most OF them
were ready to qualify as first -class
scouts. but they have been accustomed
to carry firearms. Their application
is held up before the executive board
of the Boy Scouts Of America who
will only admit them upon tho condi-
tion that they give up their firearms
and military training.

CONSCIENCE.

II has been said frequently on this
page that one of the characteristics
OF the human conscience liz that IL
seldom affects it's owner to any ex-
tent until he has been found out. This
statement, Of course. does not do JUS
ftce to all men, but TO the general
run Of humanity 1t Is fair enough.
We do wrong: none hears of IL We
forget about H. Again. we do wrong
the world knows. We become peni-
tent. SO II is with the conscience OF
city The people condone fraud aud
evil. think of them with a contempt
that Is part amusement. They ar.
not intimately affected, perhaps. ard
they would rather allow things to re-
main as they are than go to the
trouble of bringing about reform.
The civic conscience sleeps.
There is the case of New York. The
people OF the American metropolis
knew, of course, In general way of
corruption In the police department,
of graft and of unholy alliance with
vice. But, this was of the underworld
and men who pride themselves upon
decency and responsibility do not go
below the surface. The newspapers
printed daily stories of violence, Of
crimes that would have shamed the
widest spots In frontier lays. The
people read magazine tales of the ad-
ventures and crimes of the Amehes
OF New York, Of how the organized
toughs Of the greatest city of the
western world made pale the outrages
perpetrated In Paris. Still. New York
shrugged It's shoulders and did moth
ing.
Then, New York was found out. In
way. what had been generally gus
pecteh became generally known. II
was patent to all the world that tie
wild and woolly district was not be-
yond the Mississippi but in the terri
tory of the Hudson. The Rosenthal
murder and it's concomitant disc'os-
ures have shocked the country, have
hurt New York's conscience We may.
then, look for general cleaning up
In New York The nation expects II;
the government should compel IT, Yet,
II Is to be marked that New York =

tivity. After ALL cities share with in.

science. The law assumes that a man

guilty; the sinner assumes to himself
that he is not guilty until he has been

Camp Life
1.-THE Boy Scout Campers.
BY Frederick J.'Haskin

Thousands OF Boy Scout camps are
NOW being occupied throughout the
country and each is conducted after
the routine laid down In the scout
manual In most of the larger cities
there is "A local council which makes
itself responsible for the equipment
and direction of these camps. In some
instances the boys themselves raise
the money for the expenses of their
camp and then go out under the di-
rection Of competent scout master
In others the organization assumes all
responsibility for the running expenses
and the boys pay weekly board vary
Ing from So to IS. In these camps the
boys have the opportunity no train for
advancement In grade as well as for
the numerous merit badges.
There IL IA military precision In the
camp routine which appeals to every
scout. The first call comes at $40
when every scout Is expected to turn
out for his bath In the stream or lake
nearby. Breakfast comes at and In
most camps 1t has been prepared by
the boys themselves who include cer-
tain amounts of camp cooking In each
class of scout work After breakfast
the bedding must be aired and all
parts of the camp put In order. When
this work IL 10 he done by the campers,
relays are appointed for the different
tasks such as the dish washing, dis
posal of camp refuse and other tasks.

The poor old Constitution! II was

down the big East room with all the
stately grandeur that attended the
progress OF the sacred COW at Thcbes.
II was flattered and petted and
patted on the head and told that no
one should touch Il, 30 there. But
neither dates nor other details were
given II as to the alleged plots
against II. Only high sounding words
Of the obsolescent stand-pat tongue

THE CONSTITUTION.

r. Kipling said that the lady fair
Was "a rag. a bone and a hank OF hair"
But he wrote those lines some time ago
And not OF, the lady fair we know.
For It would be rather hard to say
What makes up the lady fair today.
A rag no longer would suit for taste.
But broadcloth skirt and a silk shirt
waist.
The bone Is no longer In evidence
Because. for a matter OF light. expense
She studies a treatise on "Why be
Thin"
And bones are discreetly concealed
within.
Concerning her hair 1t is safe to bank
That she carries more than a simple
hank.
For this Is a fact that IL plain to SEQ

And gossip about Mrs. Brown.
And her new hair In piercing tones.
They talk OF novels that they've read.
And tell of rumors OF divorce:
They dish up all their married friends.
They couldn't leave out one. of course.
They review all that has occurred

And tell with horror all they've heard
About the widows. sod and grass.
They tell what everyone has had

all of an easy convertible into cash
shape. There are three other heirs
besides himself but he is the chief
