Fairies and War

Once upon time there lived a
boy and his sister i'm France. Their
mother was dead and their father
was fighting in the terrible war.
So that left the brother and sister
all alone. So one day they re-
ceived a letter from the war de-
partment saying that their father
had been seriously wounded and
might not recover. AS they were
walking into the woods one day
they heard a noise behind them.
and they thought it was German
but it wasn't. 1t was a fairy all
dressed in white and the children
had been crying and they looked
sad. And the fairy asked them
why they were looking so sad. And
the children told her and she said
that they could have three wishes.
So the sister wished that her faith
er would recover and the brother
wished that he could see his faith
er inside of a week, and SO the
sister had the other wish which
was that she would have nice
home for her father when he came
home. So the fairy granted these
three wishes and went away, and
inside of a week their father was
discharged and was home forever.
And all the wishes came true. And
they lived happily after the father
came home.

Indian Prayer by
Boy Scout Leader

Daniel Carter Beard, the Nation
al Scout Commissioner of the Boy
Scouts of America, is in thorough
sympathy with the Indian method
of teaching the young to have re-
spect for birds, animals and plants,
amounting even to an affection for
the same.
The Indian mother would begin
with her boy papoose and say,
Behold thy brothers the trees,
thy sisters the flowers" This was
continued up through boyhood, and
it made the relationship of the boy
with the natural objects around
him component part of his educa-
ton.
So Mr.. Beard has just written
for the boys of his outdoor school
in particular and the Boy Scouts
of America in general an invoca-
ton to be used at the Council Fire
ceremony
The indian invocation.
0 Great Mystery, we beseech thee
That we may walk reverently
Beneath Lab ah and our brothers
the trees;
That we may step lightly
On Kis 500, our kinsmen the
grasses;
That We may walk differently
Over Loopoo-oi'-yes, our brothers
the rocks
Where the o-ler-le bird sings
Beside Ho-ho'le, the talking
water.
The National Scout Commission
err also has written a Prayer for
Wisdom to be used on ceremonial
council Fire occasions.
The Indian Prayer.
Weave for us, o Great Mystery,
A bright blanket of wisdom,
Make the warp the color of Father
Sky;
Let He-koo-las, the sun woman,
Lend her bright hair for the welt,
And mingle with it the red and
gold threads Of evening.
G Great Mystery! o Mother
Earth, o Father Sky!
We, your children, love the things
you love;
Therefore let the border of our
blanket
Be bending Ku-yet'-tah, the rain
bow,
And the fringe be glittering Nuk'-
kah, the driving rain.

Ton,my's Wishes

Once there was little boy
named Tommy. He had no father.
His mother was cross to him. She
made him go into the woods to
get wood and some berries. He
went too far and got lost. He

he began to cry. Suddenly there
stood a fairy before him. She
asked him why he was crying. He
look up and said, my mother is
very cross and my father is dead,
she sent me here to get some ber-
ries and some wood to burn for a
fire. And / have lost my way"
The fairy said, Il will give you
three wishes" and she was gone.
He first wished for a kind mother
and father. Second, he wished for
a good home: and third, for nice
clothes to wear.

wishes

Treasures of God

He owns the bird songs of the
hills,
The laughter of the April rills;
And His are all the diamonds set
In mornings dewey coronet,-
Anr Hiss the Dusk's first minted
stars,
That twinkle through the pasture
bars,
And light all the skies at night
With glittering scraps of silveh
light;
The rainbow's bar from rim to rim,
In beaten gold belongs to Him.

A New Holiday

The war ended at the eleventh
hour of the eleventh day of the
eleventh month. From now on,
November II may be holiday for
all nations. We celebrated Mon
day, and expect to have another
holiday when our boys come home.
We won because we fought for
freedom. We must keep on saving
because all the countries that have
been at war will need food and

Paul and a Tailor

Once there were two men who
were far from home on Gods day.
They were In a city where there
were no churches. However, some
women, who loved God, gathered
by the riverside to pray to Him
on His day. Paul and Silas found
these women praying to God by
the riverside and told them about
Jesus. Some Of the women loved
Jesus because He first loved them.
One woman, named Lydia, showed
that she loved Jesus by asking his
friends, Paul and Silas to come
to her house and stay with her
while they were in the city. This
Paul and Silas were glad to do.
Some bad men in the city got very
angry with Paul and Silas and had
them shut up in prison. They were
not afraid because God was with
them. They prayed and sang
songs of praise to God in thesnight.
Suddenly there came an earth
quake and shook the prison, open
ing all the doors, and setting all
the prisoners free. The jaiier was
greatly frightened until Paul told
him that they were all in prison.
The jailer learned to love and obey
Jesus. He took Paul and Silas
into his home and gave them some
food to eat He and all his family
loved Jesus because He first loved
them. The next day, the men who
had put Paul and Silas in prison
came and took them out and they
wetn back to the home Of Lydia,
where they stayed for some time,
telling people about Jesus.

Water on the knee, or even d
bad cold, might have kept this
Maryland boy from completing the
garden that he started out to culti-
vate last spring.
So, when he was transplanting or
doing other garden work which re-
quired him to kneel. he tied a flour
bag around his knee.
1t wasn't very stylish, but 1t
worked, and he recommends this
method to other gardeners. A piece
OF oilcioth or the sleeve of an old
rubber coat makes an excellent pro-
tector for the knees while working
in the garden.

At Greystolke Arms
CHAPTER ONE
BY Northrup Elmer.


about a young boy who found him
self involved in one of these mys-
terious mysteries that keep our
newspapers and detective agencies
prosperous and happy.
In England at Greyestolke Manor
on August 2, 1860, a ball was being
given. There were many people,
and Her Ladyship My Countess
Dowager of Greystolke the hostess.
and her husband the Earl of Grey
estolke. They had had supper and
We're dancing. 1t was IL o'clock2
at night, when suddenly a herald
arrived The crowd parted and left
a path for him. He proclaimed an
order from Queen Victoria that
Lord Greyestolke was to sail to
South America. (The order was to
accompany the new British Ambas-
sador to Argentina Republic, who
had been chosen by her Majesty
He departed then, and the evening
went on much as before.
A week from that day, the Earl
of Greyestolke and his Countess,
We're standing on the deck of the
good ship Saxonia looking toward
the shores of vanishing England.
They were sea sick for days, but
were well when they landed in
South America.
They went to large hotel and
had all the comforts a nobleman
might have.
They had been there about
month when the Earl of Greyes-
tolke took a fancy to exploring the
jungle. One day as William Gararr,
for that was the name of Lord
Greyestolke, and Ruth Gararr, his
wife, were walking in the wilder
ness, when suddenly a large leop-
ard bounced upon William Gararr.
Ruth turned to fly. William was
torn into shreds and hastily eaten
Ruth was Mortified, then realizing
her own danger when the beast
had finished feasting, she ran with
all her might, when she came to
the place they had left their horses.
She got on hers and leading the
other, galloped swiftly away to the
camp.
She was out of breath from run
ming and riding when she finally
elighted. She told them about the
cruel death of her husband. Then
she tainted and was i'll for weeks.
Wnen finally the Saxonia arrived
for her return trip. Ruth went on
board very desolate. In her pocket
book was 100000.
They had been out at sea for
two nights, when Ruth decided she
would return to her native land, so
she paid sailor to rom her ashore.
Then she could feturn to America
where she was born, she paid the
sailor ten pounds and they pulled
away from the ship. They were
not yet out of sight when the sail

dog were taken aboard the ship.
BY force the money was taken from
the sailor and Ruth recovered it.
AS she lay in her berth that night
she did not know Of the danger
which threatened her.
