A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.

There is beautiful legend that
at creations dawn an angel came
down to earth. seeking something to
take back with 1t to heaven. It re-
turned with a boquet of flowers, a
baby's smile and a mothers love.
When 1t reached the pearly gates Of
Paradise again the flowers had with
cred, the baby's smile had vanished,
but the mothers love was found to be
as pure and eternal as the waters
that flowed by the heavenly throne,
and all the angels exclaimed: "There
Is nothing ON earth pure enough for
heaven but a mothers love."-Ex.

ONE BOY SCOUT CHECKS
CROWD OF THOUSANDS,

TT seems inconceivable that
boys could handle a crowd
more effectively than strong
nen. but the boy scouts proved
that such was the case. at least
on one Inauguration day in
Washington. a six foot police
man was finding the crowd along
Pennsylvania avenue too much
) for him. They would draw back
little and then surge forward
} with the relentless pressure Of a
hydraulic ram. Near by stood a
) twelve-year-Old lad in the uni
form Of a boy scout. In his
) hand was small stick that
looked about as we'll fitted to
hold back a crowd as young Da-
vid's sling did to knock out the
giant Goliath.
Here. scout" called the big
policeman. push back Il few
!, thousand of those people. will
you?"
) The boy never even smiled
He held out his suck horizontal
ly and started for the mass Of
humanity. whereupon the mass
melted into friendly group of
men apd women with a big
place In their hearts for a plucky
small boy. and it was the place
in their hearts that made a place
in the road. Shouting with
laughter. they moved back. and
the boy held them securely there
with his magic wand Of youth.
