chiei of the thieves, we will have to rob another town. and off there in the distance l can see a wall which shows that We will not have to travel far
 "The robbers waited until nightfall and then they stole up to the gate of the town. and when they got there they found the entire opening was covered with spider webs. Everybody must have moved out of this town said the chief of the robbers, for here is the gate all covered with spider webs that it must have taken months to make. It is no use for us to waste our time in breaking down the gate when there is nothing inside for us to steal,' and so the chief and his band moved on to the next town. The spi- ders, who were hidden, heard all that the chief said, and they were delight ed to think that they had saved the town for the people who had been so kind to them"
 We'll said Jack Rabbit, that teaches one good lesson that it pays to be kind to even spider"
 "And," said MT. Fox, "it teaches an. other valuable lesson in the way the chief of the robbers was fooled, and that it is not wise to believe every thing you see, for great many times appearances are meant to deceive

In the case of the target shown in the illustration the figures are constantly in action, and it is an entirely different proposition to hit one, especially in vulnerable spot, than if they were stationary. Such 8 target is particu- larly good for use in the militia or the regular army, as in the case of war it is not likely that the enemy would stand still until somebody succeeded in shooting them.

BOY SCOUT IS ovERwoRkED
Turning Lads Into Amateur seaven- gers or Baggage Handlers 10 Tray
 cling in Wrong Direction.

The American tendency to overwork a good thing is showing in the case of the Boy Scouts. Not content with using the youngsters as special po- licemen. they have been set to work cleaning up malodorous alleys in some cities and towns, and scheme was even preached to use them as baggage hustlers for a large convention.
 This is not merely going too far, it is travelling in the wrong direction. To let Boy Scouts keep order at patri- otic celebrations is appropriate and wise. To have them bear their part at any general cleanup is well enough, though these spectacular scrubbing bees seldom accomplish much for sani- tation. But to turn the lads into anna teur scavengers or baggage handlers is another story. It smacks far too much of the system of that practical gentleman who managed Dotheboys hall.
