THE FIGHTING SPIRIT.

A statement by an Eagle scout:
Many a person has proved himself
an utter failure in life because he
lacked the pep and the push that com-
pei success.
Why? Simply because he hadn't
been brought up to put his shoulder
to the wheel. He lacked that great
virtue so vitality important, so neces-
sary for a successful career--fghting
spirit!
One Of the objects of the Dog scout
organization Is to teach self-reliance
and persistency; to stick to a propo-
sition till It Is accomplished; to use
encouragement as an impetus toward
that accomplishment. What finer les
son could there be? The boy 1Nut Is
taught to carry his own load Without
a murmur, without pulling a long
face" or falling by the wayside and to
carry it with a smile. Each and ey-
cry scout Is taught to meet the turn
ing Of fate without a finch.
Though the boy scouts motto is "Be
prepared" we might supplement 1t
with still another: Don't give up
till the whistle blows"
Take the average scout; what Is
failure to him? He is taught to smile
at defeat. He hits In all the harder,
more determined than before to attain
his goal. He takes pride in this spirit
and climbs the hill under his W
power, not under the powers and do
ings Of others. He puts. full faith In
himself and builds his castle on the
foundation of persistency. He stands
for the square deal, for all that IS
just in life, and in standing for these
principles he stands for what his en-
tire organization represents.

THE lowest reason of all was for
cold cash." she went on, as though he
had not spoken. "Then came the gilt
ter of precious stones, and, after that,
silk underwear"
"Sllk underwear" exclaimed Mr..
Randolph, mystiied and interested in
spite of himself.
"Of course you couldn't understand
that" she said, mot unless you had
seen some poor girl bury her face in
crepe de chine and lace, tremble to try
them on, and then sob because she had
to wear clothes over them"
Look here" said Mr.. Randolph,
shuddering at the pity Of 1t: well
pass on to the next, II you don't mind"
Curiosity comes next" resumed the
girl obediently. "A woman Is weak
until she knows everything. Then
comes a funny one that you won't UNI
derstand at all. It's called Because
Because he had on a coat that re-
minded her of an old coat that a man
she had loved used to wear"
