Therefore all are urged to CO., operate in promoting acts of courtesy on the streets, and in the street cars, and in the elevators and, indeed, at every opportunity. This will all help in furthering the cause of Scouting and making better citizens and a better country.
 The ability of Knoxville, Tenn, Scouts to act intelligently and prompt ly in an emergency, was given a se were test recently when the steps on which 1900 pupils of the Park City school were standing, collapsed. The children had been massed for the pur- pose of having a photograph taken, when @ portion of the steps gave way. There were numerous injuries of a, | more or less serious nature. By good 1 fortune there were present at the time
 a number of Scouts from troops 2, 1 and 5, who immediately turned their
 attention to the rescue of the injured | and the application of first aid.

Easier Now, Harder Later

A friend of mine has a baby boy l who has just reached the toddling age When I called there the other day ] found her lamenting the destruction of a cherished vase. The toddler, of course, was the culprit.
 That settles it, she declared. "I'm going to put everything that he can possibly hurt out of reach or away" "Couldn't you teach him not to touch % I suggested mildly.
 Perhaps 1 could," she said; but it would be easier and safer to put the things away
 Of course l said nothing further but 1 thought of another young moth CT whom I know. She has two babies and no maid. One is three years old, the other four months.
 \ Tea Table of Fragile China Within
 Baby's Reach.
 Tn her living room is a tea table with some beautiful and fragile china on it. "I don't suppose you can let Philip come in here," I said, when first saw her home.
 "Indeed, I can," she answered. He knows there are certain things he isn't to touch, and that table is one of them"
 How did you ever teach him?
 By keeping right after him when he first began to walk. If l said, No, no, Philip about that and other things once, I said it a thousand times. It was hard then, but now l have the other baby it means everything to me to be able to trust Philip and make him mind.'

l There are few matters in which fol- lowing the line of least resistance 1 will lead ultimately to more trouble 1 than in the bringing up of children. And there are few matters in which 1 the temptation to follow the line of i least resistance is greater. 1 It is temporarily easier to pick up a baby's toys than to teach him not to throw them down.
 Easier to Watch Than to Train. It is temporarily easier to watch a child to see that he does not put things into his mouth than to teach him not to.
 It is temporarily easier to put cer- tain things out of his reach than to teach him to leave them alone
 It is temporarily easier to undress and otherwise wait on him, than to teach him to do such things for him. self.
 It is temporarily easier to punish than to investigate when one child tattles on another.
 Easier to Forbid and Yield Than to
 Be Firm.
 It is temporarily easier to thought lessly forbid, to yield to teasing, to scold weakly at disobcdience, than to wield firm and thoughtful disci- pline.
 But alas! in just that proportion that it is temporarily easier to do all these things so is your life ultimate ly harder if you have done them.
 And not only your life, remember, but the life of those1vho are dearer 10 you than yourself.

DANIEL BOONE TRAIL
0skaloosa Stands Chance of Getting
on New Highway.

At meeting held at Fort Dodge
Iowa, on Dec. 81, there was organized
a new north and south overland high
way, known as the Daniel Boone
Trail" The organization perfected
at that meeting covers a line from
st. Paul to Des Moines, including
Blue Earth, Mimi, Algona, Fl. Dodge
Boone, and Des Moines, Iowa.
Mr.. J. II. McHose Boone, Iowa
president Of the above mentioned or.
ganization, has advised us that it is
the desire and intention of the officers
of the Daniel Boone Trail" to con-
tinue their highway south from Des
Moines to st. Louis, and has request
ed us to get in touch with the vari-
Gus cities between Des Moines and
st. Louis, with the view of ascertain
ing whether there is any interest or
desire on the part of the citizens of
tn clowns along this proposed trail,
for this highway.
The OttumWa Commercial associa.
ton has already taken the matter up
and is anxious to push the PROPOSE
ton through, Its secretary, Mr.. J. N.
Weidenfeller, has written to ascertain
If Oskaloosa is interested in this
route and if SO, will it have a repre-.
sentative at a meeting to be held,
place and date of meeting to be Sc
lected later. for the purpose of con-
tinuing the Daniel Boone Trail"
from Des Moines to st. Louis. The
route for this trail, which
we have in mind, after leaving Des
Moines, includes Prairie City, Mon
roe, Pella, Oskaloosa, Fremont, OF
tumwa and Bloomfield, Iowa, Lancast.
er, Kirksville, LaPlata, Macon, Mob
erly, Mexico, Fulton, ST. Charles and
st. Louis, Missouri
Oskaloosa surely ought to be inter.
ested in this proposition.

VIII Dickens Is Beloved.

One of the things that makes
Charles Dickens Eoyels precious to us
is that the taste and liking for his
work is one that we can share with
almost everybody.
A cultivated taste, in literature or
any other form of art, tends to isolate
us more and more from the mass of
our fellow men. It is impossible that
il should be otherwise.
But there are some things which the
mind does not drop in the course of
its progress, and for those of US who
were brought up on his books the
taste for Dickens is one of these
things.
One by one, other idols OF our youth
depart, but he remains-not too great,
Ike Shakespeare, to be our intimate
friend and companion, but offering US
always homely and satisfying enter
tainment wherever the travelling thea
ter may be set up.
