Some birds are awfully curious and

Bonfires as Warning Signal.

A little over hundred years ago
bOnfircs on Scottish hilt0pS were the
recognized warning signal for the
threatened invasion Of the French.
There was no more enthusiastic vol
untcer than Sir Walter Scott. The
great novelist writes that "the neces-
sity Of the present occasion (1S03)
has kept almost every individual,
however insignificant, at his post. God
has left us entirely to our own means
Of defense, for we have not above
one regiment Of the line In all our an
cient kingdom. In the meanwhile, we
are doing the best we can to prepare
ourselves for a contest which is not
far distant. a beacon light cOmmuni
eating with that ~ Edinburgh castle,
Is just erected In front Of our quiet
cottage. My field eruiiage is ready,
and l want nothing but a. pipe and
scnur bartchen to convert .mc into
complete hussar."
While Sir Walter and his lady were
on short excursion to the lake dis
trict, iE. 1909 the beacon fires were
needlcssly lighted. He rode fully 100
miles within "a hours to the place Of
rendezvous, only to find that the alarm
had blown over.

CRITICISM.


All Of us are too quick 10 criticize.
not only other people but anything
that doScn't happen 10 meet our fancy
as right or proper. Constructive criti-
cism is often beneficial, but not ncccS-
Sarily always so, for some people arc
so constituted that even the fricndlicSt
suggestion is taken as an affront. In
others, OF a mcckcr turn Of mind, a
criticism is SO taken to heart as 10
weaken rather than strengthen the
determination to accomplish some
thing. Public affairs, however, wuerc
dealt with sincerely and in the en-
dcavor to correct an evil or encourage
higher ideals of right and accomplish
mcnt, will not suffer from constructive
criticism. The thou2htlcsS criticism
Is the criticism that does most harm
and should be studiously avoided. The
thought occurred to us in reading an
article sent out by the Federal Board

information. But in either case il
