q 6GgA AAAIAAA ~ NV
A Hunting Trip.
Colorado Springs, Colorado,
April IA, 1905.
BLESSED KERMIT:
1 hope you had as successful a trip
in Florida as 1 have a in Texas
and Oklahoma. The first six days
were of the usual Presidential tour
type, but much more pleasant than
ordinarily because I did not have
to dc quite as much speaking, and
there was a certain responsibility
about 1t all, due, / suppose in part
to the fact hat I am no longer a
candidate and am free from the ever
lasting suspicion and ill-natured judy
ment which being a candidate entails.
However, both in Kentucky, and es-
p~ecially in Texas, 1 was received with
a warmth and heartiness that sur
prised me, while the Rough Riders
reunion al San Antonio was delight
full in every way.
Then came the five days wolf hunt
ing in Oklahoma, and this was ural-
Logged pleasure, except for my uneasi-
ness about Auntie Bye and poor little
Sheffield. General Young, DR.. LAM
bert and Roy Fortescue were each In
his W way just the incest compan-
ions imaginable, my Texas hosts were
too kind and friendly and o~pen-heart-
ed for anything. l want to have the
whole party up at Washington next
winter. The party got seventeen
wolves, three coons, and any number
of rattlesnakes. I was in at the death
Of eleven wolves. The other six
wolves were killed by members of the
party who were off with punches OF
dogs in some place where l was nor.
I never took part in a run which end
ed in the death of a wolf without get
ting through the run in time to see the
death. 1t was tremendous galloptng
over cut banks, prairie dog towns,
flats, creek bottoms, everything. One
run was nine mics long and / was the
only man in at the finish except the
professional wolf hunter, Abernethy,
who is a really wonderful fellow,
catching the wolves alive by thrust
ing his goved hands down etTee
their Jaws so that they annot bite.
He caught a wolf alive, tied up his
wolf and then held it on the saddle,
followed his dogs in a seven-mile run
and helped kill another wolf. He has
a pretty wife and five cunning chill
dren, of whom he Is very proud, and
introduced them to me. and 1 liked
him much We were in the saddle
eight or nine hours every day, and 1
am rather glad to have thirty-six
hours rest on the cars before start
ing on my Colorado bear hunt.

On Counting Days and wrestling.

On Counting Days and Wrestling.
White House,
Feb. "a, 1905.
DAZZLING KERMIT:
I puzzled a good deal owe your
marks. 1 am inclined to think that
ono explanation is that you have
thought so much of home as TO pre-
ven your really putting your whole
strength into your studies. 1t Is most
natural that you should count the
days before coming home, and write
as you do that ii will only be 33 days.
only 26 days, only 10 days, etc. but at
the same time it seems to me that per-
haps this means that you do not really
put all your heart and all our head
effort into our work; and that If you
are able to, 1T would be far better to
think just as little as possible about
coming home and resolutely set your
self to putting your best thought n
your work. 1t Is an illustration Of the
old adage about putting your hand to
the pillow and then looking back, In
after life, of course, 1t ds always pos
sible that at some time you may have
to go away o year or two from home
to do some piece of work. If during
that whole time you only thought day
after day of how soon you would get
home / think you would find it difficult
to do your best work; and maybe this
feeling may be PARTLY responsible for
the trouble with. h lessons at school.

Grant, who has now become the

very interesting, but Of course Jiu jitsu
and our wrestling are so far apart that
1t is difficult to- make any comparison
between them. Wrestling is simply a

of mine in Buffalo. asking her to
write to the column, but 1 have re-

what seems to be the matter with our
old correspondents. 1 have not seen
any Of their letters in the paper. I
am sending a short story this time in
stead of a poem.
"Betty's Mistake"
Betty Arnold was spending a few
weeks at her aunt's home in the

six years and as h had always lived
in the city, she did not know country
ways. Her aunt had told her several
stories concerning bears and had
showed her pictures Of them. One
day Betty decided to take a walk

she came running back calling "Ohl
Auntie I saw a bear OIL" Her aunt
came running out of the house saying
where Betty?" Betty pointed to the
east. Mrs. White shouted to her hus-
band and brother who were working
in the field. "Oh! Henry. John. Betty
rushed up saying (which way?" Mrs.
White pointed. Her brother then
rushed into the house for n guns
and soon they were on their way.
When they had gone Mrs. White ask
ed, what did the bear look like.?"
Bettey answered, "Ohi 1t looked just
like the picture of Wiggly Tail in the
story book" Her aunt sighed. "Oh!
the child has seen a gray squirrel"
she said. She explained what a bear
looked like and Betty never made
that mistake again.

Boys will be boys, but they need
, not be juvenile delinquents, they are
not naturally inclined to be bad. They
are, on the other hand inclined to be
busy. That being busy. may take the
purse of violating some traditions
of their elders unless their elders see
to 1t that the training is in the direo-
ton of right, true, manly ideals.
Most juvenile delinquency finds its
roots in adult thoughtlesSness.
Boys All Over.
The movement is just the boy all
over" 1t takes that original instinct
of the boy to be busy and supplies the
things to keep busy. 1t utilizes the
things hat boys want to do. The neg
atives arc turned to positives. The
boy is shown the why of the things
he does-the boy wants lit is
American all owe
1t Is American All Over.
Scouting is based on the Idea of ed
ucation, which is prominently an
American ideal. It does things that
the schools can't do and that he
Sunday schools can't do. Yet the
whole force of 1t Is to increase the
boys interest In both.
Boys are motor minded" They
want action. They will listen, how
ever, If what they are told is related
to what they are going to do a little
later That Is where Scott tracking
ties up with what the schools n
Sunday schools are doing.
Absolutely Non-Sectarian.
Recognition~of God and service to
Him are fundamental in scouting,
but the movement is absolutely nom
~sectarian. There is no guess work
about it. Scouting plays fair with
the church.

Dear Scout

How about 1t fellows are you going

Thus the game stood till the open

then staged a batting rally and be-

Back to Nature

I'm tired of the noise of the city,
Its tumult and care and deceit;
Ilong for the peace of the meadows,
Where flowers bloom fragrant and sweet;
How vain is the smile of the many,
How empty the laugh of the throng;
long to commune with great nature
And list once again to her song.
How worthless the glare of the tinsel,
How empty the bubble of show;
How senseless the studied expressions
That fatterers are wont to bestow;
While nature deals with us noby,
Without the veneering of art,
The welcome she gives us is honest
She speaks to each one from her heart.
What is there in pomp and power.
So many possess to abuse.
The one stirs the envy of pigmies;
The other, let him who will choose.
fly from the city's great clamor.
Where men use deception to please,
And lay my head down on the hillside
To rest and to dream meath the trees
