The New Grand was comfort
ably filled Wednesday night to
hear the above program. Lloyd
Peterson and Hilda Stavig carried
off first and second honors in the
declamatory contest. They, as
we'll as all of their competitors,
did splendidly, and are credit
to themselves and an honor to
the school and their instructors.
AS the real and lasting good does
not consist in winning the hon
ors, but rather in the prepar-
alton for the contest, all who took
part will be equally benefited if
they take their defeat in the
right spirit.
The musical numbers were
greatly appreciated by all. The
band played well, two selections;

But even this romantic age has
its battles. No conflict can be
more pitiful than unrequited love
whether before marriage or in
after years. Some one may say

stances of course, but the natur-
al woman will return gentleness
for insult and exercise superhu-
man fortitude. The speaker
then told an incident of woman
in the state of New York who
was beaten to death by a drunk
en- husband and who out of love
for him lied even in the hour of
death to save him from being
punished for his guilt.
When we compare love like
that, with the shilly. shally rain
bow chasing kind, the latter sinks
almost to the level of sensuality,
while, the first rises like the star
of divinity. Most any love will
stay while the trees are budding,
the birds are mating and the sky
is blue, perchance remain through
summers softer airs while the
rose is blushing, the corn is
waving and the sky is blue; may
linger yet through autumn's rus
set hue. But, unworthy though
| be, give me a love that will live
and glow when November's chill
ling winds drive the warm light
from the sky; when the song of
the bird is hushed and tie per.
fume of the flowers is but their
dying breath. Aye, a love like
that; someone perchance to
watch with you when twilight is
fading in the west; when the star
of life is sinking behind the hill.

A Freak Of the Lightning.

A curious case of lightning de-
struction took place some years ago
at Gatchina, an imperial summer
residence not far from st. Peters
burg, where stood a stone column
fifty feet high, held together by iron
angles. When rain fell more or less
water penetrated the stones in the
interior Of the monument. One day
it was struck by lightning, and in
stantly the column disappeared from
view, killing a lone sentry on guard.
The only explanation is that the
heat OF the lightning instantly gen

The Evil Eye.

The <'evil eye" was one of the
many superstitions that at one time
beset humanity in the time of its
ignorance. 1t was believed through
out the middle ages that certain
persons had the power Of cursing
you by their glances, of subjecting
you to the fascination which, unop-
posed, blighted and destroyed you.
Amulets of various forms were used
against this much dreaded power as
well as certain practices, such as
Laughing, splitting and turning .
somersault.

Australian Bushmen.

Although the bushmen of Aus
tralia are the very lowest in the
scale Of ignorance, they possess a
rare instinct that equals that Of
many animals and is in its way as
wonderful as mans reason. It is al
most impossible for them to be lost.
Even if they be led away from their
home blindfolded for miles, when
released they will unerringly turn
in the right direction and make
their way to their nest homes, and,
though these are all very similar,
they never make a mistake.

Messing a parade in his honor in
Chile on his recent visit to that
country:
"A specially arranged parade
of the Boy Scouts took place at
this oval in my honor. There
were no less than two thousand
Boy Scouts assembled, not only
from Santiago, but from some of
the districts of northern and
southern Chile. They were
camped in the public park.
Among the Boy Scouts there were
Red Cross organizations for girls,
and in the march past these we're
even more enthusiastically ap.
plauded than were the Boy Scouts
themselves. Every healthy boy,
whether of the United States or
Chile or anywhere else, wants to
feel that if the necessity comes
he can be a soldier - he is not
worth his salt and has not the
slightest chance of making a good
citizen unless he does possess
this desire. Accordingly, the
Boy Scouts organization, which
does so much to produce the best
qualities needed in peace: has also
ah undoubted value because it in
chlcates certain virtues which
. re equally useful in war.
II In Chile, as in most other
Countries, the drill of the army
has been on the German method.
This drill has been extended to
the Boy Scouts, and includes the
parade step of the German infan-
try when they pass before the
reviewing officer. The crowd
was hugely delighted with the
vay in which, as each company
of Boy Scouts passed the review
ing officers, the boys fell into the
parade step in the most approved
Potsdam fashion. An interesting
feature of the Boy Scout move
ment in Chile, which was organ
lied by General Baden Powell
himself, is that it has been trans
ported from Chile to Spain,
where it is now tlourishing. AS
| looked at the Scouts and realized
how much the movement had
meant for South America, felt

own country have taken up and
pushed forward the movement" :"

city delivered a very eloquent
and pleasing address last Sunday
evening at the New Grand thea
tire on the subject "The Boy and
the Boys Battles. ;" Some one
has said to the judge-'His boy
hood days, were lived among the
forests Of Minnesota; in a place
known as the big Woods" All
the people of the settlement
were poor and suffered the hard
ships of the frontier, yet that
little world was filled with ro-
nance, and mirth, beauty Of ma.
ture, and prose-poetry, incident
to a forest home. All of which
has left a strange mingling of
humor and pathos, laughter and
tears, which make the speech
and life of the after man.
We have learned, said the
speaker, that there is no effect
without the cause. Therefore if
the boy has battles through life
there must be a cause. Then
what is the cause of the battles
of life2 What brings the pain,
the mental anguish, ruin and
misfortune? Evil. Some people
say there is no evil; that the God
who created all things, who is
goodness itself, could not have
brought evil into the world. Be
that as it may, the fact remains
that evil is here and it would be
as useless to deny the existence
of pain, suffering and death as to
say there is no evil. The world
is full of fads and fakes and peo-
pie are often carried off their feet
by some creed in actual contra
diction to the bare, stubborn
facts. A story is told of a wo-
man whose husband became i'll

upon the good wife still with un-
shaken faith in her doctor said,
Hush! Be still, John. doc knows

The battle with evil begins
when we begin. The child's bat
ties begin when he is born. His
health and happiness depend on
his obedience to the laws of ma
ture. While he slowly learns to
care for himself. Someone with
knowledge and experience pro-
tects from violating laws which
would destroy him. By putting
his hand into the fire he learns
that fire burns; by falling down.
stairs, he takes his first lesson
in gravitation and learns to de.
;scend in an orderly manner. He
may inherit or contract some dis.
ease and then begins a struggle all
too soon. Anxious parents watch
while the earthly spark futters
between life and death. The bat.
tie is on.
The average boy with his
merry whistled tunes and his up-
turned pantaloons" appears to
have no battles, but he has. He
may never mention them to any
living creature save his mother
and not even to her if she fails TO
gain his confidence. A real bow
is a most intensely interesting
creature. He quickly makes
friends with strange dogs and
strange boys but he may never
make friends with you. WHY?

even before you know it and you
will never succeed with that boy.
The boy, though philosopher
in most things, has one weakness.
He is superstitious. He believes
in ghosts, hob-goblins, strange
formulas for curing intirmities.
According to Burdette, there is
a certain formula which if re.
peated nine times a day with a
finger pointed directly towards
the sun will surely cure warts.
The boy believes too that a cat
has nine lives, and that snakes
tail will not die until sundown.
The boy is a perfect irnitator.
In his earlier days he plays he is
a horse, he trots single, double or
four-in-hand. Mark Twain tells
how Ben Rogers initiated a
steam boat, taking the street for
a river and the sidewalk for a
landing. When the boy grows
older he smokes like you, drinks
like you, swears and bets like
you, but he is only initiating, for
none of these things belong in
the boy world.
The boys life is not all come.
dy, night pulls down the curtain
at the end of each day of this ac-
tive little life. The restless feet
that have pattered down dusty
streets, over scorching pave
ments, that have dabbled in the
cool brook that have filled the
house with noise and dust, are
still. The stained hand, soiled
and rough, the cut finger with
the rude bandage of the boys
own surgery plead with mute
pathos for the mischievous hand
that is never idle. On the brown
cheek the trace of a tear marks
the piteous close of the days
troubles. Troubled at school
with books that were too many
for him; troubled with tempta-
tions to have unlawful fun that
were too strong for him, and that
have frequently been too strong
for his father; trouble on the
street with boys that we're too
big for him, and at last in his
home, in his castle, in his refuge
trouble has pursued him until
feeling utterly friendless and in
everybody's way he has crawled
off to that dismantled denusually
dignified by the title of "the
boys room" and his overcharged
heart has welled up into his eyes,
and his last waking breath has
broken into a sob; and just as he
begins to think that after all life
is only one broad sea of trouble
whose restless pillows in never
ending succession, break and
beat, and double and dash upon
the short shore line of a boys
life, he has drifted away into the
wonderland of boys sleep,
where fairy fingers picture his
dreams. How soundly, peace
fully he sleeps and what pen can
portray the wonderful enchant-
ments of boys dreamland. It
is innocent sleep:
Sleep that kliits up the raveled sleeve of care

Balm of hurt minds. great natures second

The waking from such sleep is a
resurrection, and the new day is
a new life. Oh! that such sleep
might come to the weary and
tired in after life; but it seldom
does.
But time moves on, the boy
becomes a young man, he falls
in love, and this emotion usually
betrays itself in the number and
variety Of his neckties. If there
is smooth sailing in his love af-
fairs he will let the stock run

Bird Structure.

Birds belong to the vertebrates,
or backboned animals. They are
distinguished from the rest Of the
yertebrates by the graceful outlines
of their bodies, by their clothing
of feathers, toothless jaws and the
fore limbs, or wings, being adapted
to flying. Nature has made many
wonderful provisions in the bird,
especially in the formation and ar
rangement of the bones. These are
compact and in many cases hollow,
thus combining lightness with
strength. The first bone Of the
backbone issso freely jointed to the
skull that birds can turn their heads
around and look directly back.
