ANOTHER RAccoon TALK.

"Chldren." said Mother Raccoon,
81 was going to tell you of a creature
you must watch out for-an enemy
you must beware Of So listen while
Mother Raccoon goes on with her
story"
The little raccoons listened with
their sharp eyes axed on Mother Rae
coon.
"As | told you, it is not long DOW
before you must look out for your
selves In the world You must work for
yourselves and for the little ones who
Will come to you. A Daddy and a
Mother Raccoon look after their
children for whole year-then they
must look after the new family which
comes in the spring.
"As the spring is not so far off
now, even though 1t is still winter,
| want to give you all the advice and
help l can. so you'll all live to be
fine, big raccocons and make your
mother and father and all raccoons
proud of you.
"There is one enemy you must look
out for and that is the weasel. He
Is a sly fellow, dangerous fellow,
wild fellow and one to look out for.
Never make friends with him. He
does not know what friendship with
a raccoon means.
81 am sure it isn't really necessary
to tell you that. But | do want to
warn you that you must look out for
him and never let him get the better
of you.
I'D not be friendly with cats Ell
Their" Mother Raccoon continued. II
don't like cats-never have and l
don't suppose ever will
BE brave, my children, be very
brave. Never let any one call you
towards, but never fight unless you
have to fight for your life or for the
lives of your little ones.
"You can do well in fight with
the sharp claws which Nature gave
you. Yes, 1t Is very well that you
can do.
For / won battle and saved you,
my little ones, when you were really
little ones, and so did your father.
All, how he fought to help me and to
save you!
Don't forget what l told you about
washing your food before you eat it.
l told you that only the other day.
Some folks think it's just habit of
ours, that we don't really want to
be clean. There may be some rae
coons like that, but can tell you one
thing-I've yet to meet them
81 shall miss you, my children. but
l shall have other things to take up
my mind and l shall feel I'm doing

FRENCH SCOUTS PHOTO GRAVES.

Out on the silent battlefields OF
France. at Lille, st. Quentin, scissors,
Rheims, Sedan, Vosges and other
shell-scarred places where Americans
lie buried, little boys, clad in khaki
are seen daily exploring the cross
covered graves, placing flowers upon
them and carefully taking photographs
of the grass-covered mounds where
dcughboys sleep.
Now and then they may be seen
to stop to look at piece of paper,
move off few feet. pull out a camera,
photograph some grave, then, from a
basket slung over their shoulders, pro-
duce some flowers with which they
tenderly deck the "fiual slumbering
places"
They are French boy scouts, who,
as National Scout Commissioner Beig-
beder of Paris writes to Chief Execu-
tive James e. West of national head
quarters, have chosen this way to pay
homage to the Boy Scouts of America
OF their brothers or other relatives
who have died for France.
Families of Boy Scouts in this coun.
try are sending the name, rank and
regiment to Commissioner Beigbeder
together with an idea of where the
graves are located.

much to eat when he didn't do any
thing himself. His raccoon friends
and relatives got tired of seeing him
rest while they worked, and did not
like 1t because he was so lazy and
selfish.
"One by one they began TO leave
him alone. He sat up on the top limb
all by himself. No one came near
him. He had to get down and get
some food after while. but even
then no one would bother about him.
He was too selfish. He made every
one around him unhappy.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council OF 'he
Boy Scouts of America)
GLAD HIS BOY IS A SCOUT

At recent father and son banquet
In Chicago the father of a scout made
the following speech, according to u.
l.. Duggan, field executive:
"When my boy came TO me several
years ago and said he wished to JOIN
the boy scouts | said emphatically NO.
few days later he asked second
time to be allowed to join troop that
was being formed at the church.
said No again, but Immediately began
to investigate scouting and found 1t to
be not at all what ] had thought,
young army, but that ii taught many
good and useful things. Still ] dld
not tell him that he might join.
a few days later he came to me
third time and said: Dad, why don't
you want me to join the boy scouts!
Then | said to him: "Son, | didn't want
you to join the scouts, but | have made
an investigation and if you will prom
Use me that you will live up to the oath
and law of that organization ! VIII
give you my consent to join He was Il
| happy boy and joined the scout troop
mt the next meeting.
Il cannot tell you how thankful
am that he did join the troop. can
not think of any other one thing that
has done as much for my boy as being
scout. We are pals together. My
son tells me everything. He is a good
boy and good scout, and the scout or
ganization and the scoutmaster deserve
all the credit for what he is today"

LAND HAS SUFFERED MUCH
Bessarabia, Always in the Pathway Of
Savage Invasion, Repeatedly i.
Overrun and Pillaged.

Bessarabia, sloping southwark from
the westward foothills of the Car
pathians, between the Dniester and
Pruth, down to the Black sea and
Danube delta, lay in the normal
geographical pathway of tribes push
ing westward from Asia and south
ward from the warmer seacoast lands.-
Among the most narrowing of the
invasions was that of the Mongols In
the fourteenth century, when that re-
gion suffered atrocities during which.
women and children were used as tar
gets in bow-and-arrow contests, and
slivers of wood were driven under the
nails of the men, all this going on I'm
til mo eye remained open to weep
for the dead"
Prior to the outbreak of the world
war, pastoral Bessarabia offered ID
pleasing contrast. The Moldavian
homes offered delight to the tourists.
The interior of the Moldavian home
was immaculate and vivid, brightly
colored curtains and hangings being
used. The people are deeply religious,
and each orthodox home has its altar.
The Bessarabian women are sprightiy,;
