SCOUTS GET NAVY pEsERTER.

John Gilbert Jones, an alleged two
time navy deserter, was captured by
members of boy scout troop in RAM
apo mountains, near Wyckoff, N. j.,
and started under guard for Newport
News, Va.
For two months federal authorities
had searched for Jones, but clever
work on the part of the boy scouts of
Wyckoff resulted in his apprehension
In an abandoned mountain school
house the scouts came across store
of provisions and some navy clothing.
When Jones returned, IL scouts
closed In on him at prearranged sig
nal. The deserter offered no resist

THE BOY YOU CAN TRUST.

Some fellows are very much brighter.

At camps and inspections they frequently
show
To better advantage; and some there
may be
who understand Scouting from A through
to z,
Who know how to rig up a telegraph set.
To make fire by friction and such things
and yet
When critical times are ahead of me.
Just
Give me the fellow I know I can trust!
He doesn't suspect. but it's true all the
same,
That he's getting his training for playing
life's game.
He'll find when he's older. as others
have found.
That there aren't enough boys of that kind
to go round,
Who tackle their work with resolute
heart
Determined to finish whatever they start.
And II you would succeed In this old

GREAT PLAY NEVER PRODUCED.

Gen. Lew Wallace wrote a tragedy entitled
"Commodus," which was founded on the story
of Maternus, an escaped slave, who rebeled
against his country. placed himself at the head
of band OF outlaws, planned the capture of
Rome and his own elevation TO the throne, but
was finally betrayed and killed. 1t was never
produced, but Lawrence Barrett. to whom 1t was
submitted, wrote General Wallace that It was the
best play since "Richeeu," and that both as a
poem and as an acting play 'Commodus is the
best English drama" 1t was printed, but never
staged.-Boston Globe

SCOUTS DOING A GREAT WORK.

The Boy Scouts of America have
done big work this year-greater, more
valuable work was never done.
Lenders and troops, old and young,

SCOUTS WEAR HAT BADGE.

All genuine boy scouts should wear
the badge on the hat.
One important reason for this Is the
fact that the United States govern
ment has permitted the BOY Scouts OF
America alone among boy organiza-
tons to wear uniform similar to
that Of the United States army. so It
is only fair to the authorities that the
scouts should wear the distinguishing
mark OF their organization on the hat,
In order that they may not be confused
with the soldiers.

KINDNESS WITH IRON.

Kindness without iron in it isn't
kindness at all.
A young man had grown up in the
office of a friend of ours.
He never received more than $17.00
per week-he didn't even earn that
and his employer kept him around for
many years because he felt sorry for
him, and which was a mistake from
the boys standpoint alone.
At last the boy got married; the
architect saw possibilities of more de-
pendents upon him in the form of a
family of children, so he screwed up
his courage and fired him.
This was about a year and half
ago. *#
Today this young man is in the
claim department of street railroad,
making $500 a week. 4

unsuited by nature, and he found that
for which he was suited.
This young man cried when he lost
his former job; he thought the archi-
tect the meanest man in the world for
giving him the blue envelope as a
wedding present; but today this
young man publicly thanks his ex-em-
ployer.
The trouble with a lot of us is that
we let our sympathy overcome our
judgment.
Judgment is the iron in kindness.
We-all of us-keep young men
around us too long after we know they
are unsuited to their employment.
simply because we feel sorry for them.
There is sort of law of selection
jobs for men and men for jobs, and
about as natural, yet as mysterious,
as trees selecting their growing plac-
es, or as bones forming in an egg.
Many young men to leave job for
which they are unsuited. When they

more courteous.
While we have no figures on hand
to prove it, and while there have been
a lot of bank failures in the country
yet we understand there have been
fewer bank failures than of any other
business institutions.
We are not sure of the reason for
the comparative efficiency of banks,
but it occurs to us that it may be in
the fact that banking is very largely
matter of bookkeeping, and this sci
ence tends to develop order and sys-
tenn on the part of those who follow it.
Notice the bookkeeper of any busi-
ness and he is usually the most order
ly person about the place in his man
ner, method and time of work; his
personal appearance 'and his desk and
general place of work are the neatest,
and even though he may not have the
intellectual capacity of those in other
pursuits.
We have at times been around, or
had look in, at businesses managed
by ex-bankers or men with bank train
ing, and while they may not have been
progressive to the full possibilities,
yet these institutions always made
money-and kept it.
The bank as an institution, has been
of benefit to other business of a COM
nunity in addition to it's prime func-
tion of loaning money, and that is in
this:
They have instilled, enforced order
and system into other businesses.
The banker has enforced bookkeep-
ing on the small business and more
and better accounting methods on the
large ones.
Many man has gone to bank to
borrow money for the first time, only
to learn how little he knew of busi-
ness, and all through the lack of order
and system. He has learned the de-
fects of his business through better
accounting and has set about to right
them.
We were just wondering if it would
MT be good idea to have a little more
bookkeeping in our public school
courses-that element in which the
banker is strong.
This country should and will pro-
gress, but it should progress with
more order and system-that element
in which the banker is strong.
