soula will unite in caroling the. joy
OF the years most gladstone day.
Gathered around giant Christmas
tree, and under the flag of the coun-
try. thousands of happy voices will
sing as one songs inspired by both en-
blems. Despite the threatening shadow
of war, Missoula this year Is breath
ing deeper Of the true spirit Of Christ
mas than ever before. Tonight she
will give utterance to the overwhelm-
ing joy OF the season.
Tree Ablaxe with Lights.
All Is in readiness for the happy
occasion. The big tree is erect and
waiting. Last night the magic of
electricity turned,sit to- something of
another world. Towering high above
surrounding naples. the big fir tree
literally blazed forth colors OF red.
blue. green, orange. and yellow. Red
and green festoons hung from branch
to branch, or wound In and out, over
and under. From the top Of the tree
waved Old Glory.

nifty singing and one bigger and more
enthusiastic even than before. Even

The spirit Of Christmas has provided
the occasion; the spirit Of Christmas

girls; men and boys have given as

LOCAL OBSERVATIONS.

The intense cold wave predicted
failed to arrive. but the temperature to-
day is more Christmas-like than we
had reason to expect. Although the
grass is green in most places and there
is no jingle of bells,,~it is the spirit
within that perfects the day. after all.

SCOUT CHARACTERISTICS.

They do at least one good turn every
day.
They consider a strange boy a
friend, not someone to tease or fight.
Their motto is "Be Prepared" which
means to them prepared to help 9TH
ers.
They know how! In case of acct
dent they render first aid while others
stand about and feel sympathetic.
They love the out-of-doOrs and know
how to take care Of themselves in the
open.
They know about animals and do
not consider every snake a poisonous
enemy, nor do they think that every
crawling thing with more than eight
legs is centipede.
They know the names and charac-
teristics of the different trees and con-
slider them as something beside a tar
get for axes or material for whiting.

BOY
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
SCOUTS AS LIFE SAVERS
BY ARMSTRONG PERRY.

The most common element in acct.
dents is preventability. The careless.
ly thrown match, the day-dream on the
railroad track, the mind which wanders
from the hand upon the lever, the fool
who rocks the boat-these are they
who keep the surgeon and the under
taker and the dealer in artificial limbs
working overtime.
Boy Scouts are taught to foresee and
prevent accidents. When a boy is
taught anything he, is ever on the alert
to use his knowledge. The result of
the scout training is shown in a re.
markable way in the records of the
national court of honor.
There are about 10000 scouts in
the United States, most of whom go
on hike at least once week through
out the year and camp out for a week
or more every summer. 1t would be
natural to expect that with this num-
Der of boys, all Of the most reckless
age, climbing trees and hills, cutting
wood and building fires. the number
of serious and fatal accidents would
be large. Not so. The national court
of honor, which awards medals to
scouts who risk their lives in saving
others is called upon to consider only
most of these the person rescued is not
scout.
In most of these cases the rescue
is due not only TO the presence of mind
and heroism of the scout, but also to
his foresight in providing himself with
equipment for use in an emergency
and his diligence in learning the meth
DDS by which rescues may be effected.
A scout who was thoughtful enough
to carry a coil of rope at his belt when
broke thregh the ice. One of the
youngest scouts saved a child from
bleeding to death from an artery Sc.
vered by piece of broken china on
beach. His scOutmaster had taught
him how to apply a tourniquet, using
handkerchief and a stick. During
the reunion of the veterans of the wal
of the states at Gettysburg, at the re-
view in Washington in 1915, and on
many other occasions where enormous
crowds have assembled, the scouts
have saved many from the affects of
heat exhaustion, by being on the spot
with restoratives and knowledge of
the means of quickly finding medical
aid. Many scout has gone to the as
sistance of drowning person, released
himself from death grip, fought his
way to safety with load heavier than
his own weight and, at the point of
exhaustion, has been obliged to apply
artificial respiration while a crowd of
able-bodied men and women looked on,
unable to do anything because of their
ignorance Of few simple but vital
rules.
A community which fails to protect
itself against calamity by developing
the latent power in its boy population
deserves the same fate as the man who
goes without fire and accident and
health insurance.

Whole Truth of Buddhism.

Dorm Zenshi, great Buddhist
priest, once lived on top of tree in a
mountain; so people aicknamed him
"Owl priest" Someone interrupted
his meditations one day with the fol-
lowing question:
what, in a nutshell, is the truth of
Buddha's religion?"
'Eschew all sins and practice all
virtues" replied the priest without
opening his eyes.
''Oh. is that aH?" said the man sar-
castically Even child of three years
can say that"
'Yes, even child of three years can
say that" rejoined the priest, 'but an
old man of eighty years cannot put 1t

AMONG THE SCOUTS.

A scout Is patriot and is always
ready to serve his country at a min
utes notice. He loves Old Glory and
knows the proper forms Of Offering it
respect. He never permits its folds
to touch the ground. He knows how
his country is governed and who are
the men in high authority. He desires
strong body, an alert mind and an
uncomfortable spirit, so that he may
serve his country in any need. He pat
terms his life after those Of great Amer
leans who have had a high sense of
duty and who have served the nation
well.
A scout, like an old frontiersman.
does not shout his wisdom from the
housetops. He possesses the quiet
power that comes from knowledge. He
speaks softly and answers questions
modestly. He knows a braggart, but
he does not challenge him, allowing the
boaster to expose his ignorance by his
own loOse-wagging tongue.
Evansville (Ind.) Boy Scouts have
just established new wireless station
and claim that they will soon be able
to talk with New York. New York
scouts who have stations are eagerly
awaiting a message from the Indiana
boys.
A scout never flinches In the face of
danger, for he knows thar at such
time every faculty must be alert to
preserve his safety and that of others.
He knows what to do In case of fire, or
panic, or shipwreck; he trains his
mind to direct and his body to act. In
all emergencies he sets an example of
resourcefulness, GOODNESS and courage,
and considers the safety Of others be-
fore that of himself.
