oertain-a scout-hike cabin. There is something about big log fire in an open fireplace. It was not many years ago when the boys of another period in the growth of our great country gathered around these fireplaces nightly and lis tened to weird tales of hobgoblns and bad kings-always more than half ex- pecting to hear an Indian warwhoop come following down the wind that whined outside. In these periods when the broken half lights of the flicker ing flames threw ghastly shadows upon the logs of the old cabin homes the mas ter minds were developed that later brought these United States through the perilous waters that were ever reach ing at the foundations of liberty and justice in those, early days. o,o
 For the most part these old fireplaces have gone. They have disappeared with the hardy frontiersman and the little squat log cabin. Yet they will ever live in the hearts of the American people as long as these people shall love their flag and reverence the romance and struggles that gave it birth.
