was at this age Of the young turtles
that the experiments were conducted
The scientists had with them sheets of

But when the blue sheer was used, no

A SCOUT is BRAVE.

He has the courage to face danger
In spite of fear. and to stand up for
tile right against the coaxings of
friends or the jeers or threats OF
enemies. and defeat does not down
him. and somebody has expressed
pretty much the same idea in the fol-
lowing poem.
The test of man is the fight he makes.
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows;
A coward can smile when there's naught
to fear.
When nothing his progress bars.
But it takes a man to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars
1t isn't the victory, after ALL
But the fight that brother makes:
The man who. driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held high,
Bleeding, and bruised. and pale.
Is the man who'll win in the by and by.
For he isn't afraid to fail.
It's the bumps you get, and the joltssyou
get,
And the shocks that your courage stands.
The hours of sorrow and vain regret.
The prize that escapes your hands.
That test your mettle and prove your
worth;
II isn't the blows yor deal.
But the blows you take on the good old
earth
That shows II your stun is real,
From the Three Partners.

stands, and. while waiting for 1t to
pass over he was led to compose the
hymn.
The great pilgrimage to the rock

were perched on jutting rocks on the

Intoxication Increasing.
From their low point following the

intoxication for the moment Is in
creasing," reads the superintendent
report.
1.-THE beverages are new, and most
of them are legitimate articles of COM
merce, but they are being used for pur-
poses never designed by the manufac-
turer. Hair tonic, flavoring extracts,
perfumes, medicines and the poisonous
wood alcohol are all being consumed
by the Old-time victims of habit
which required an act of congress to
cure.
"The increase is due to the fact that
younger men have been able to evade
the law and have found means of traf-
ticking In saleable limitations Of old

tent nearly double that Of the older
product.
