Here comes Ernesto Carranza, nephew

But why?"
"She says am su muchacho."
"What is that?"

She tried to comfort him. She dried his
tears. But other letters arrived by each
Cuban mail After each letter there was
an outburst Of stormy grief.
The boy, torn between love and duty,
could study no longer. He gave up the
Course in the Poughkeepsie college which
was to have made him a business man
The boarder was cast adrift. Senior and
Sonora CarranZa lived in hotel on side

The courts, then, must decide whether

from her father-in-law. The Su-

To that uncle the bridegroom paid occa-

SCOUTS NEED THE SOLDIERS.

Military life and scouting have much
IN common, except the manual of arms
and the carrying of guns, which play
no part in the scout program.
Their common ground is in the devel-
opment of discipline, the making OF
healthy bodies through outdoor activf-
ties and the creation of loyalty and
good citizenship.
Thousands of civilians, men of good
character, who entered the army and
navy during the war, have acquired
through their experience in the serv-
ice qualities Of leadership that may
have been dormant during civilian
life.
Many of them are of just the sort
to inspire boys, the kind that will
make good scoutmasters, Of whom
there is a dearth, because they have
learned to obey and to command, and
because they have acquired knowledge
of hygiene and at least the rudiments
Of woodcraft.
This fact was recognized by the
leaders of the boy scout movemen.
from the beginning of the formation
of our great army.

THE BOY SCOUT OF AMERICA.

IT'S good to tend meetings. have fun
with the boys;
IT'S all right to holler and make a big
noise;
IT'S great to run races and win medals,
too;
IT'S dandy and jolly to do what scouts do;
To hold down an office, be ranked as g.
man,
And play the important in organized plan;
But scouts are the fellows that give Of
their best
In work time. in play time, not just when
they're drest.
If you think and embody your thoughts in
deeds,
II you talk and by talking sow living
seeds,
II you spend and are spent for the thing
worth while.
II you live and by living make others
smile,
Then your life will be music, sunshine and
love;
Your words will be welcome as IL from
above;
And folks will be glad when they see you
about,
Just thinking and talking and acting the
scout.

SCOUTS
THEY WERE BOY SCOUTS

Vincent Fireno. a peddler of fruits
In Utica, N. Y, had an unpleasant ex-
perience. He was propelling push
cart laden with oranges, bananas and
potted plants, when an automobile
came along, driven by lady.
She intended to stop at the curb, and
had almost succeeded when the auto
started over again and kept on going.
It finally stopped. but not until it had
struck the cart and demolished part Of
1t, and sent fruit and flowers flying.
No one was hurt, and not much in
jury was done, but while the crowd
stopped and gazed, a couple Of boy
scouts got busy and picked up the ven
doris fruit and plants and put them in
a box which he brought.
Times have certainly changed. In
the good old days the boys would have
regarded the accident as providential,
and gathered the fruit and departed
push-cart and all, before the vendor
could protest.

THE scoUTMAsTER,s EXAMPLE.

After all, what wins? Does ta1k7
Does earnest concern for boys well
fare?
Or is 1t expert knowledge of the fine
things in woodcraft? Or Is 1t chummy
disposition in a man that wins boys7
Or is it the power Of good example2
Which is to say, the scoutmaster who
Is himself a good scout all the way
through will win his boys to a high
standard of scouting.
The scoutmaster who sets the exam
pie in the wearing of his own uniform
won't have to point to many flaws in
the uniforms of his troop. The scout
master who shapes his own personal
life at all times by the scout oath
and law will have little difficulty in
winning his boys to the same ideals.
The more he knows expertly about
scouting the better. But after all 1t Is
the power of a good example that wins.
