The Well-Bred Girl,

She doesn't talk loud in public
places.
She does not accept a valuable
present from any man unless she ex-
poets to marry him.
She doesn't say she hates women,
and she has some good, true friends
among them.
She does not speak OF her mother
in sarcastic way, and she shows her
the loving Difference that is her due.
She doesn't want to be a man, and
she doesn't try to initiate him by
wearing stiff hats, smoking cigar
cites and using slang.
She doesn't scorn the use of the
needle and expects some day to make
clothes for very little people who will
be very dear to her.
She doesn't shove and push to get
the best seat, and she doesn't wonder
why in the world people carry chill
dren in the cars, and why they permit
them to cry.

BE Cheerful.

Keep a stiff upper lip, and rise
above the clouds of adversely, though
they threaten momentarily to over
whelm you. Thus may you be led to
forget your precarious position, until
soon a ray of hope penetrates the OBJ
scurity, all darkness disappears, and
the day dawns forth with renewed
brilliancy.
Don't allow your mind to dwell on
dismal themes, lest a gloomy imagin-
alton run away with you. 1t always
augments grief and magnifies misfor-
tune.
Interest yourself in the present,
and diffuse the extra pleasures of the
day through succeeding ones, in Or
der to enliven the whole week.
Preserve the memory of past hap
piness until sure of a fresh supply,
but never place yourself in the posi-
tion to lose sight of both. 1t is as
oppressive as the darkness of total
eclipse.

WORKING ONES WAY THROUGH
COLLEGE.

Reports from the colleges show
large increases in the freshman
classes. In this country OF wealth,
more and more people are finding
the money to pay college bills. Also
more people are appreciating the
value of the training. And there is
an increasing number of students
who work their own way.
At Princeton, this fall, for in
stance, new step has just been TAX
en- toward this spirit OF democracy
Seventy boys are waiting on table in
the dining halls. They receive free
board for this service Thus the old
est and most conservative institu-
tions open their doors wide to the
class of earning students.
A reasonably bright young person
can work his way through any col
lege without great difficulty. He
need not enrich John D. greatly for
midnight OIL" either. Nor need he
be an object of pity for overwork.
1t is simply a question of where he
will put in his daylight.
When other fellows are frolicking
and gossiping at the fraternity
houses, will he have the resolution
to get up his next days lesson? He
may often have to study while the
others are playing tennis and foot
ball. This is regrettable. Yet he is
no worse off-not so badly off-as
his comrades that have gone into
stores and factories. Half an hour
in the gymnasium daily will keep his
heart, stomach and nerves working.
He may miss some fine aspects of
college life. Certain enriching per-
sonal intimacies may be impossible.
Not because of any social discredit
attaching to work, but because he
must limit his expenses and travel
different path. He will make his
own friendships. They may lie large
ly among other earning students.
These boys may come from obscure
families, but they have rugged
strength. Their persistence and am
bition will make them heard from.
In ten years these friendships may be
more helpful than association with
rich mems sons.
So let no anxious parent hold back
an ambitious boy. Give him his
chance to work out the faith that is
in him.

APPLE DAY.

Tuesday Of last week was observed
throughout the United States as
Apple Day. In the northwest espec-
tally, the apple was the big feature
of the days menu in hotels, restau-
rants, cafes, dining cars, private
homes and everywhere that people
eat. Stores took advantage of the
day to advertise apple specials, many
families laid in their winters supply
of apples, and for the day, apple was
king.
Every day should be apple day in
Ashland. In the midst of one of the
greatest apple-growing districts in
the world, Ashlanders can buy any
variety and any quality of apples
from the extra fancy at 1925 a box
to culls which may be picked up in
the orchard for 25 cents per sack or
for nothing. The old saying, can
apple day keeps the doctor away"
will be admitted, even by the doctors,
to contain much truth. The man of
small means can lay in a supply at
small cost and a little labor. The
man of considerable means can buy
the best apples in the world in Ash
land. Make every day apple day.

THE BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

People who like boys will be inter-
ested to hear the remarkable figures
just published, of the growth of the
Boy Scouts OF America. A year ago
this society had 93,97S members.
The executive board which just met
reported that now 149,0S4 are en-
rolled These figures suggest that
the people that thought out the Scout
work had good insight into the elu-
sive boy heart.
1t is a difficult thing to persuade
a live boy to swallow a beneficial
educational and moral pill. 1t may
be ever so well sugar coated, but he
detects the dose underneath. Count
less boys books have been written
supposed to achieve this end. They
have lively adventures and thrilling
illustrations. But somehow the boy
is uneasily conscious that the author
is poking at his own faults and fail
ures. His parents aid and abet the
fraud by giving it to him as Christ
mas present. He will have none of
it.
II is equally difficult to interest
him in organizations supposed to be
for his uplifting. Social workers
have tried out all kinds of ideas, Of
ten with indifferent success. Up to
recent years the Knights of King
Arthur was probably the most sue
cessful of these boy societies. 1t ap-
pealed to boys romance and love
OF chivalry. The Round Table liter
ature was manly and inspiring, and
many boys were helped. But per-
haps the Boy Scout idea comes closer
to the juvenile nature.
The boy is at heart little primi-
tive man. Savage life appeals keen
ly to him. lie would live like the
Indians II he could. The word
scout seems the next best thing.
It has fascinating suggestions of for
est life and the pursuit of game and
adventure.
There should be in every village
and every neighborhood Of town life,
some man generous enough to give
his time to the leadership of boys
The form OF organizations makes no
great difference. The secret of sue
cess is finding out what the boys like
and giving them healthful sport
along the lines for which they have
natural craving. The Boy Scout path
to the boys heart is probably today
more direct than any yet discovered.
The boy will take in ideas around
campfire in the woods that could
never be impaired to them in Sun
day school class, with the teacher
looking Grossly at their wiggling
hands and feet.
Ashland is indeed fortunate in
having men such as those at the head
OF the Boy Scout movement here.
The Boy Scout uniform is a familiar
sight on Ashland streets and the Boy
Scout influence is already being felt
in Ashland homes.

fascinating others by means Of their
graceful, exquisite manner. The Sc
cret is an open one. 1t is easy to
learn that it lies all neglected by the
wayside, while they who would give
their dearest treasure to find it pass
unknowingly.
1t is only this: Fill your heart
with good will toward everybody, and
then practice at all times the best
manners you know, particularly at
home. II you begin at home, this
charming manner will, so to speak,
get settled on you and never leave
you. Be just as polite to your sister
as you would to your best girl.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Little Children,

AhC bitdc NiuiuiCus
Are all the little children in thy
arms, o Lord, tonight,
Safe from the roaring battle and the
thunder of the fight?
Are all the little children tucked
away until the morn
Beyond the bitter trouble, and the
conflict and the scorn?
For if they are, God rest us,
Well be happy every one,
That they are on thy bosom
Whom He loved so much, thy Son I!
Are all the little children cuddled up
upon thy breast,
To dream the starry night away in
bloomy fields OF rest?
Are all the little children safely in
from romp and play,
With loved arms clasped around
them as they kneel at night to
pray?
oh, if they are, we're happy,
And we'll lie ourselves to dream
With faiths great temple Ger us,
And the lights of love agleam.
Are all the little children meath the
shelter of thy wing?
Oh, Lord, of all the children in the
rosy lanes of spring?
Are all the little children kissed and
comforted tonight
Beyond the darkling demons of the
factions and the fight?
Then, we at last may follow,
And be happy, and be sure
Of strength to toll and love them,
And to suffer and endure!

Be as courteous at home as you
are abroad; respect your family as
you wish to be respected. Don't save
all your smiles for strangers and all
your frowns for home. Yop will nev-
er regret the kindness you have
shown, while your thoughtlessness
and indifference to your own may
reap bitter harvest. Life would be

his or her neighbor in the home, and
If everybody were taken at the best

Accokeek wharf is about twenty
miles from Washington, and So near the
head of tidewater il is ,navigable for

The management of the steamer W. l..

RALPH BEAVER STRASSBURGER.

at an early date Mr. StraSSburger,
who is of New York and Pennsylvania,
and one of the most prominent of the
younger men of this country in the
national defense movement, formerly
served on the Mayfower and at the
White House under President Roose-

in the navy as one of the heroes of
the North Dakota explosion.

He says that if the thousands of ath

in fame the Rough Rider Regiment of
the Spanish-American war and save
American athletes from the suspicion
that surrounded the nom nlistment of
athletes in Great Britain and other
countries at the outbreak of the war.

Mr.. Strassburger was one of the first
to come forward for enrolment, and
upon receiving information that plans
had been completed for the formation
of the reserve, he at once wrote, re-
questing that he be given examination
for listing as soon as possible.
Mr.. Strassburger entered Annapolis
in 1901, where he won fame as foot
ball player. In 1905 and 1906 he was
attached to the Presidents yacht. May

tingushed himself when a boiler tube
blew out on the trial trip of the North
Dakota, risking his life to shut off the
steam, which saved the vessel from a
serious accident. In 1909 he resigned
from the navy and entered the diplo
matte service as consul general to

of the most promising young men in
