Our Bow Jim, Hero.

can't somehow hardly sense it that
our boy, our own boy jim
You've been readin' of the papers and
seen what they said of him
Has done what they say he has done
over there, somewhere in France"
Why, it want last week it seems like
that we put him in long pants;
And he wasn't any Drawer than the
other boys we know,
Our own little tender baby way back
in the long ago.
once in little pants and dresses, he had
clumb our apple tree,
And then the next thing that l knew
he was holern for me.
He had slipped down OH limb and it
had caught his pants and held
So his toes most touched the ground and
he just hung head down an yelled
And he hollered: Me are dyin' and
before reached his side
With the picture he was makir' | just
laughed until cried,
And | loosened his little britches from
the stub and put him down,
But he yelled and kept on yellin' till
he nearly scared the town,
And in spite of all my lovin he just
wouldn't shut his head
Till his mother filled his face mp with
apiece of ginger bread.
And that little bit o Teller that hung
there ketched by the pants,
Has been doin' what you read of in the
field somewhere in France"
And he's got a decoration pinned onto
him, too, by jung!
And yet he says in letter that it
wasn't anything,
He just seen the thing to do and went
for it good an strong,
And the Trenches seen him goin' and
rose up and went along.
If you can see men march, cheerin'
down into n redhot hell,
That must have been something like
it, that describes it mighty we'll.
And he says: "We made the rifle
that was all there was to that,
And the nurses is plum tender here
where | am lyin, at,
| And give my best love to mother
When Pm home again with you
will know more and will help you
more than what used to do"
Dern his skin! lie has always helped
me! He was jest Il little wild,
We had spoiled him somewhat, mebby
like one will an only child
No, sir, these here tears I'm sheddin

THE SCOUTS RELIGION.

The Boy Scouts of America lnain-
tain that no boy can grow into the
best kind of man without recognizing
his obligation to God. The first part
Of the scouts oath or pledge is, ION
my honor / will, do my best to do my
duty to God and my country" The
recognition of God as the creating and
ruling power of the universe and the
grateful acknowledgment of his guild
ance is held to be necessary in direct
ing the growing boy toward the best
type of American citizenship.
The boy scout movement, however,
is non-sectarian in it's attitude toward
religion. It's policy is that the religious
organization or institution with which
the boy scout is connected shall give
the needed attention to his spiritual
life. If he be Catholic, the Catholic
church should be the agency for his
religious training. If he be Hebrew,
then the synagogue will teach him the
faith of his fathers. If he be PrOteS-
tant, the church of which he is an adj
herent is the proper organization to
give him an understanding Of the
things that pertain to his allegiance to
God.
