 More credit is given me than I deserve in this fad" he said The truth is. the boys started this great movement themselves. I was merely the match that started the fire.
 Training the boys in manliness followed our discovery that we need ed to train our soldiers in manliness and self-reliance before We could make real soldiers of them. We took fellows into the field who look ed for switches to start fires and faucets to bring water The first book I prepared teaching manliness was read by a number of boys and in accordance with growing demand l revised it so as to include the training of boys as well as of men. !"
 James E. West, of New York City. chief Cf the American Scouts, told of the start of the movement in this country.
 The boy Scout movement was brought to America quite by acci- dent,' he said An American bus mess man was lost on the streets of London, when one of the English Scouts approached and offered to as sist him in finding his address. Ali ter the lad had safely piloted him, he drew his purse to make recom- pense. The Scout demurred:
 Sir, I am a Scout, and Scouts never accept rewards

Indian Girl Has $500
 Coming in Every Week

LAWRENCE, Kan. - An income of $500 a week should be enough for almost any schoolgirl of II, but it is about s599.75 more than the only Lawrence schoolgirl of that age who draws it ever eXpends.
 A nickeIs worth of gum drops, dime for pencil or two and 10 cents more for general expendi- lures usually represents the eXtrav- agance of this lass, although she might buy almost anything else she pleased. The young lady of the large income and of the small outgo is Miss Ellen Ellen, an h. dian student at Haskell Institute.
 At Haskell, the second largest In dian school in the world, there are many girls, perhaps more girls than boys. The parents of many of these children are rich, enormously so, but their riches are not used to buy the things that delight the soul

ARCTIC WINE,

tAn Ode to the Blueberry Brew. Fill me a bowl of the good Arctic
 wine
 That cheers the troubled soul: Fill me a bowl of the sparkling divine
 That makes me forget that I'm old The nectar of the gods who are watching
 And protecting the men of the North From men who in palaces are hatch. ing
 Their schemes to own the earth. Fill me a bowl of the good Arctic wine
 That lifts me to the realm of bliss. And makes me think the world is mine,
 Whose nectar I fondly kiss; Fill up your bowls and don't look sad.
 For the vat is brimming OCT. And the hills and valleys will surely ad
 The bowls that you drink before. Fill up your bowls and let us cheer For the days of ninety-eight, When We drifted the stream from the land of tears To the Arctic to meet our fate; Fill up your bowls and shake the earth
 From Dawson to the Arctic sod With one good rally of friendly mirth.
 As We drink the wine of the gods

 Baden-Powell spoke of his army of boys as peace scouts" He pre- diets that they may be the forerun- ners of a kindly feeling among ma tions through the rising generations, and generations yet to rise. For the Denver scouts he gave the fol lowing rules:
 Never say die until you are dead
 Learn to paddle your own canoe, literally as well as figuratively; be self-reliant and plucky.
 Do Good Every Day.
 The emblem of the Boy Scouts is the fleur-de-lis. beneath which is a scroll with the words, Be Pre-, pared One point of the fleurde-lis signifies duty to God; the second, obedience to Scout law; the third, that Scouts must do a good act to some one every day.
 The only offense for which Scouts may be tried by their fellows. is breaking a word of honor; the only penalty, to be found guilty" B sg ]! Jo e4ods 9q u!e5v pBJ g se luouleAom luooS Noa eql or Su! IeJaI Hq sNLem9I 8u!uodo s!q QllM 9oue!pnB slq p9QIBls U9Mod-uepBH

PARIS, March 2.-Once more the name of Mime. Bernhardt has been omitted from the annual list of those who were to receive the Cross of the Legion of Honor, and to say that the Divine Sarah is angry is but mildly to indicate her wrath.
 In her box between the acts of "Lucretia Borgia" she was asked about the omission and the question made her furious.

 Use for Magnifyine Glass.
 When you wish to copy patterns illustrated in magazines, like those for Irish crochet or cross-stitch cush- ion tops or notices, use the magni- flying glass. The stitches may be very easily counted without strain ing the eyes.
 Cookery Suggestions. If the icing fails to harden on your cake, put it in the oven for few minutes; it will form thin crust which in no way destroys the deli cate icing. Fruit cakes iced in this manner will keep indefinitely, and they will become mellow and lus- cious with age.
 No More Stained Fingers. When pairing fruit and vegetables, place small piece of court-plaster on the first finger and thumb, and there will be no stains on them Fingers from old gloves are excellent for this purpose. Wine Stains on Table Cloths.
 Usually the table-cloth cannot be removed immediately. In this case sprinkle salt on it until it is possible to take out the stain. Then pour boiling water through the cloth until the stain is removed. Ink Stains on White Material. Rub the stained portion gently with sour milk until the stain starts or place in skinned milk and let remain until the milk sours. If this fails to act, apply salt and lemon juice and place in sunlight
 Coffee Stains.
 First put into lukewarm water and soak about fifteen minutes Then wash in warm suds.
 Scorching of White Material.
 Expose the material to the direct rays of the sun for several hours If there is not time for this, pro cure some chlorine water, dip linen rags into this and rub the spots which are scorched. The marks will dis appear.
 To Clean Ribbons.
 Sponge with alcohol and rub over the spot with some clean, white soap During this process the ribbon must be kept straight When clean rinse in alcohol and place between two towels. Press out with hot iron.

 The material should be put into sweet milk until the latter sours, Then rinse the fabric and place in sunlight. If this does not work. boil clothes in cream of tartar water lone tablespoonful of cream of tartar to one gallon of water). HllIDTn VTlInlIO

BANANA IS AN OUTLAW

Some people believe that the
banana was the original forbidden
fruit of the Garden of Eden. In
any case, it is one of the curiosites
of the vegetable kingdom, being
not a tree. a palm. a vegetable or
an herb, but a herbaceous plant
with the statue of a tree.
Although it sometimes attains a
height of 80 feet, there is no
woody fiber in any part of it's
structure. and the lunches grow
ing on the dwarf banana plant
are cften heavier than the stalk
which supports them. No other
plant gives such a quantity of food
to the acre as the banana: 1t
yields IA times more weight than
the potato and 1873 times more than
wheat. Moreover nc insect will
attack it and it is always immune
from disease of any kind. Ex-
