The good being done by the Boy Scout move

Twenty-fou troops with 526 members, nearly

the energy with which the campaign has been
pushed and the manner in which the appeal OF
the Scouts is taking hold On the people.
Prejudices with which some looked upon
the movement are rapidly disappearing. It
Is now generally recognized that there are no
Interior motives back Of it and that its sole
aim ID to make better boys and ultimately bet
ter men by organizing and directing the ener-
gies of the youth of the land into the right
channels. The program is SO sane and so ad-
mirably fitted to the human nature and the con-
ditions with which it deals that it cannot fail
II it has tho support Of right thinking men and
women.
A campaign is now being conducted to raise
funds for the Boy Scouts of Rock Island for
the coming year. Those active in the move
ment believe it is possible to get what is need

by the family of Herod The name
occurs frequently in the history OF
Christianity and it was borne by
that Bernice who heard the de-
Tense of ST. Paul.
France liked the name, though it
seems to lack all trace OF French
influence. The peasants Of Nor
mandy created Berenice and be-
slowed it upon their daughters. The
French Veronique and The English
Veronica are said to be corrupt
forms of the name, but much doubt
is cast upon such contention.
The moonstone is the gem of
Berenice. 1t is said to protect her
from all danger and to bring her
true love. 1t is believed that one
can note the waxing and waning of
the moon in its depths and that
lovers can read the future therein.
Monday is her lucky day and ? her

THE DAILY SHORT STORY
Prissy strangled a gasp.

Prissy strangled a gasp.
Tomorrow night, Bert" she
said positively. Promise me, not
until tomorrow, and l won't laugh,
honestly"
Bert promised, bewildered, but
obedient.
Once inside the theatre, the
girls somewhat recovered their
spirits. Prue played her part with
enjoyment, and Prissy with hidden
terror. Dressed exactly alike, as
they were, the resemblance was
wonderful.
Prissy whispered to her sister
during the intermission. BE sure
to make Harrison keep close to us
during the ride home"-and Prue
managed it.
In their own room at last, ,Prue
sat down on the bed and pulled
Prissy down beside her.
Reports are in order. Pris." she
said. Come across, little sister.
Did he find out-and what did he
say"
Prissy blushed very deeply,
much to Prue's delight, but il was
her turn to blush when she heard
what Bert had said. And l
couldn't let him say any more"
concluded Prissy. but l told him
he might say it tomorrow night"
Prue considered gravely before
she gave her report. Then she said:
Your Harrison is very sudden
young man, Pris. I'm not going to
tell you exactly what he said, be-
cause he's coming to take you rid
ing tomorrow night. Don't you act
surprised at single thing he says.
Act just as if you had heard it all
before. and when it come to the end
Use your judgment"
And in spite of threats and en-
treaties she would say no more.
The young men appeared
promptly. true to their appoint
ment. Prue was gay enough, but
Bert had never been so conscious
OF the hidden gentleness under the
mischief. When they were alone
before the blazing wood fire, he said
diffidently: May l finish what
started to say last evening""
He finished it, to the satisfaction
of both.

Pro6teering in Wool.

On an average the producer gets $5.Sa for
the wool that goes into a plain, ordinary
suit for full grown man. This is stated on
the authority of Claude Harper, sheep special
list, of Purdue university who has made care
full investigation of the facts.
"A man who weighs l75 pounds requires
three and half yards Of cloth to make suit,
the weight of the clothing being from 10 to
Is ounces per yard Mr.. Harper says. THE
average medium weight wool suit is made Of
goods weighing IA ounces per yard At three
and half yards per suit, the cloth in the entire
suit weighs 40 ounces, or a little more than
three pounds. In the manufacture of all wool
cloth it requires one and threefourths pounds
of secured wool to produce pound of cloth.
Therefore. considering waste in manufac-
turing, it requires about sixtytwo ounces of
secured wool for an average suit of clothes
Most of the Indiana secured wool is selling in
Boston from s1.25 to S1.44 per pound This
wool scours around 50 per cent of grease and
dirt. At S1.44 per secured pound this makes
wool worth cents per OUNCE As 62 ounces
are required for the entire suit, then the cost
of wool in the suit is $3.50
Mr.. Harper says that if suit is made of
the very best grade of wool, which is selling
at about $3.50 per secured pound. then the
wool in the suit will cost 1891 The cost of
shipping. commission. etc, he declared, is at
least cents per pound, which is deducted
from the producers receipts. These suits he
pointed out sell at retail all the way from $40
to SIS and higher.
These figures show the farmer certainly
is not profteering,'' said Mr. Harper.
No, the farmer is not profteering. He is
merely getting the best price he can for his
product Wool passes through seven or eight
hands on the way from the sheep to the uti-
mate wearer In the entire list the sheep alone
fails to get all the traffic will bear The farm
er gets several times as much as he used to
for his wool. but he gets it because people are
willing to buy on those terms. He does no,
| even set the price. All the way up the line
| it is much the same. Nobody profiteers, bu,
| still $685. worth Of wool brings SIS when the
retailer hands it across the counter.

Greatness and the presidency
found John Tyler down OH one
knee, playing "knucks' with his
boys in u pathway of his dooryard
in Williamsburg, that stately old
vice regal village Of colonial Vir-
ginia He had not even heard that
Harrison was ill, until destiny,
without steam, wire or rail to carry
it, sped to him from Washington by
boat and buggy with the news that
the president had been dead d day
and that the empty presidential
chair was awaiting the vice presi-
dent.
Rising from his game Of marbles,
the first problem that confronted
this president by succession, was to
get money enough TO take him TO
the capital. He promptly received
the offer of a loan from a mbney
lender Of the neignborhood. But
since that thrifty man had coldly
refused to take a similar chance on
him a few months before, the favor
was declined now, and personal
friends supplied the needed amount
to convey to the White house this
port of fortune
1t was the first time that a vice
president had been called upon to
discharge the one duty which gives
that Office its only excuse for exist
ence-to fill vacancy in the presi-
dency. People had ali but forgot
ten the purpose for which the place
was created. ii those who had
nominated Tyler had given a
thought to the possibility of his
succeeding to tie chief magistracy
he would have been about the las,
man they would have chosen for the
emergency.
Tyler belongs among the third OF
fourth-rate presidents. Although a
clean-handed, kindly man of good
presence and polished manners, he
was mediocre country lawyer and
a narrowminded politician, with q
gift for getting Offices that he lat

Harrison drove on briskly after

Prissy played Prue to the best OF

he thought Prue's quieter side.
He tucked the robes carefully

college besides Harvard to be the
alma mater of three presidents, be
was elected to the Virginia legis-
lature at 81, while his father was
serving as governor. At rs he went
to congress; at 80 he was chosen
to the governorship and at 81 he
entered the senate, to which he was
reelected for a second term.
His record of craftsmanship in
those various posts need not detain
the reader a moment. 1t is a blank
page, as with so many of our facile
vote getters and place hunters. But
for the accident of another's death,
Tyler's name would have been
buried with his dust in the Oblivion
Of the grave.
A Jacksonian Democrat at first,
Tyler followed John G. Calhoun Of
into notification and to extremes
on the dogma OF states rights and
the protection of slavery. Rather
than obey the instructions of the
Virginia legislature that he should
vote to expunge the censure which
the senate had passed upon jackson,
he broke with the Democrats, re-
signed the senatorship and re-
appeared in the state Legislature as
a Wing member. He was also
delegate to the Wing national con-
vention, which nominated him for
vice president.
Nevertheless he agreed with the
Wings only in opposing Jackson
and Van Buren,. In the north, they
was for projection and Internal
improvements; in the south, they
were for the union above all else,
and Tyler was dead set against
each of those policies.
Thurlow Weed and the Wing poll
ticians understood this perfectly.
To distract the north from the slav-
cry question they nominated the log
cabin hero and to attract the slave
holding south they nominated with
him a disciple of Calhoun. With
ticket facing both ways, they adopt
ed no platform and stood for moth
ing except vote catching.
The scheme worked to perfection
at the polls, But in the hour OF
| its triumph the Wing president died
and his Democratic running mate
was in the White house.
The unforeseen even served the
Wings right. They had set out to
fool the people and in the end they
themselves were worse fooled. Al!
they wanted was Tippecanoe, but
they got Tyler, too.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a
girl 20 years of age. l have kept
steady company with a few young
men, but have not for the last yea.
l Just 60 with one and then an
other. l have begun to lose inter-
est in life and my young friends
and it seems as though they have
lost interest in me.
Some of my friends think l get
angry at them when l am not. l
am not a girl who forces her way
in. | always try to treat everyone
the same, but | guess ! fail to some
times.
Just what is the trouble with
me? Do you think it natural for
me to lose interest in my friends
since I am older now? l have had
two chances to become engaged. but
l wanted to be sure they were
right and so I did not accept.
A NICE GIRL.
You seem to have too much time
to think about and analyze your
self. You need to be so deeply in
terested in some work that you will
forget about boys for awhile. You
find it, you will not be interesting
to other people.
If you are a working girl and do
not enjoy your work, get another
position. A change would probably
do you good. See how efficient you
can make yourself. Your efforts
will absorb your time and as you
work you will find your interests
increasing.
1t is not normal to lose interest
in your friends. Perhaps you have
grown away from them and need
to meet new people A change oil
position would help in this respect
too.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ny brother
