NEW YORK SCOUTS CHASE DIRT.

The boy scouts of Greater New York have undertaken one big job making and keeping the largest city In the world cleaner. Feeling urgent need of adding materially to it's force of 500 volunteer "block captains" the Anti-Litter bureau of the Merchants Association of New York recently sought the aid of the boy scouts organ ization as the largest single force prepared for voluntary civic service, and the chief scout executive gave enthusiastic support to the plan, say ing:
 Many propositions soliciting the CO., operation of boy scouts in seemingly well-intentioned movements are de- clined almost weekly for one reason or another because they conflict with the fundamental principles of scouting. so it is indeed refreshing to have your clean-cut plan for city betterment pre- sented to us and through us to the more than 1000 Boy Scouts of Amer lea in Greater New York who are the life blood of the local movement, as are the 3S1,000 registered scouts throughout the country the life blood of the national organization"
 The objects sought are for scouts to do all they can to free the streets. sidewalks, areaways and vacant lots of unslghtly litter and dangerous and unhealthful conditions; and also to familiarize themselves with the laws regulating streets and to call attention to Attractions of the laws

 It's big country, Hiram,' he said with touch of bitterness, but not big enough for q fellow to lose himself in" He sat down on the side of the bed and lit cigar, rendering another to Rifles, and the two men puffed in silence for few minutes.
 "Yes, I've hit lot of trail since saw you last" he continued, and when you're in the shadow of the Rockies you're long piece from Plain vile. Hows the old burg? Dead as ever?"
 About the same," said Rifles. "You don't seem t be wastin no love on It."
 "Nothing to speak of," said the oth- CT, slowly flicking the ash from his cigar. Nothing to speak of. You know I got a raw deal there, Hiram, and it aint likely I'd get enthusiastic over It."
 "Weli, when fellow gets up against the law an has t clear out" said Rifles, with great candor, that's his fu- neral. AS for me. ain't got nothin agen Plainville You made little money there yourself, didn't you?"
 The younger man leaned back and slowly puffed circles of fragrant smoke at the ceiling, while Rifles surveyed him from the head of the bed. He had been business man in Plainville, but had become involved in a theft case and had managed to escape from the town simply because fellow man whom he had wronged did not trouble to press the matter against him.
 Gardiner showed no disposition to reopen the conversation about Plain vile, so at last Rifles asked, How d'y0u know l was here"
 Saw your scrawl on the register" he said, and I've seen it too often on wheat tickets to forget It. Thought I'd look you up. Maybe can be of some service to you here. What are you chasing-more land?"

SPIRIT OF THE BOY SCOUT"

More and more is scouting inspiring painters, writers and sculptors to put into permanent form their conception of the practical service Of the boy scouts and especially their concep- tions of the ideallsm, the spirit, of the movement. In bronze and marble in number of cities, boy scout tablets and statues of various kinds grace homes, private parks and public places. One of the most notable works of art of this nature Is the beautiful Roosevelt memorial boy scout fountain erected in It's grounds at Golf H., by the Glen View club.
 The latest endeaYor of this kind Is the inspiring statuette modelled by Robert Tait Mckenzie, famous physi- elan and sculptor of Philadelphia, which he has named The Spirit of the Boy Scout" and has dedicated 1t to the Boy Scouts of America. Dr. Mckenzie has been professor and di rector of the department Of physical education in the University of Penn- sylvania since 1904. As a sculptor he has exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere in Europe and is the

 Well, shoot i'm in. The door ain't locked" said Riles. in considerable wonderment as to who his visitor might be.
 The door opened. and a well-dressed man of average height, with carefully combed hair and clean-shaven face, save for light mustache, stood re- vealed in the uncertain glow of the match with which Rifles was endeavor- ing to find his lamp. His visitor was man of twenty-elght or thirty years, with clear eyes and wel-cut face, and yet with some subtle quality in his ex- pression that implied that under his fair exterior lay deep cunning, and that he was a man not to be trusted in matters where his own interests might be at stake.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Womens' complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other or gans to become diseased.
 Pain in the back, headache, loss of ann bition, nervousness, are often times synp- toms of kidney trouble
 Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, physician's pre- scription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

There's no use talkin' with her {; reason don't count for anything. I gave her d good pocketful O money, and told her to write for more when she needed 1t. She'll get over her mo- tions pretty soon when she gets among strangers. Go in and have talk with her, boy; there's no use you bein' at outs with her, too. As for me, cant do anything more."
 "1 suppose you know best" he an- swered, "but 1t seems-hang it, it's against all reason that you two-that this should happen"
 'Of course it Is. That's what said minute ago. But reason don't count just now. But you have your talk with her, and give her any help you can if she wants f get away at once"
 Allan found his mother in her room packing trunk and gently weeping into it. He laid his hand upon her, and presently he found her work frame resting in his strong arms.
 You're not going to leave us, moth- CT, are you" he said "You wouldn't do that?"
 Not if it could be helped, Allan But there is no help. Your father has set his heart on more land, and more work, and giving up this home, and might as well go first as last. More and more he is giving his love to work instead of to his family. Perhaps when ] am away for while he'll come to himself. That's our only hope"
 The boy stood helpless in this con fiicti0n. He knew something of the depth of the nature of his parents, and he knew that beneath an undemonstra- tive exterior they cherished in secret love proportionate to the strength of their character But the long course down which they had walked together seemed now to be separating, through neither will nor power of their own; it was as. though straight parallel lines suddenly turned apart, and neither lost it's straightness in the turning.
 So he comforted his mother with such words as he could. Loyalty to his father forbade laying any of the blame on those shoulders, and to blame his mother was unthinkable so with unconscious wisdom he spoke not of blame at all.
 "Of course, while we are away, why shouldn't you have visit?" he said. Here you have been chained down to this farm ever since I can remember, and before. And then, when I get set tied on my own homestead, you'll come and keep house for me, won't you?"
 You're sure you'll want me?" she asked, greatly comforted by his mood. Perhaps you'll be getting your own housekeeper, too."
 "Not while I can have you," he an swered. "You'll promise, won't you? Nothing that has happened, or can happen, will keep you from making my home yours, will 1t? And when

 Harris did not come back that night. A light rain came up. and he accepted the excuse to sleep at Riles'. The truth was, he feared for his resolution if 1t should be attacked by both his wife and son. Surrender now would be mere weakness, and weakness was disgrace, and yet he feared for himself if put to the test again. So he stayed at Riles', and the two farmers spent much of the night over their plans. It had been decided that they were to leave within the next couple of days, but Harris broke the news tl,ai his wife was going on visit, and that nr. engagements would have to be made for the care of the farm

Rifles took the suggestion of g few days delay with poor grace.
 "Yes. an while you're chasing up an down fer housekeeper the Yankees get all the homesteads. They're com in in right now by the train load, grabbin' lip everythin' in sight. We'll monkey round here till the summers over, an then go out an get sand farm, or something like. Couldn't your wife do her visitin' no other time?'
 "T'll tell you. Riies." said Harris, who had no desire to pursue a topic which might lead him into deep water, you go ahead out and get the lay of the land, and I'll follow you within week. I'll do that for sure, and I'll stand part of your expenses for going ahead, seein' you will be kind O repre- sentin' me"
 The last touch was stroke of diplo- macy. The suggestion that Harris should pay part of his expenses swept away Riles' bad humor, and he agreed to go on the date originally planned, and get what he. called "a bede on the easy money" while Harris completed his arrangements at home.
 He was to get "a bede on the easy money" in manner which Harris lit- tle suspected.

 When Harris returned home the next forenoon he found that Mary had already left for plainville. He sat down and tried to think, but the house was very quiet, and the silence op- pressed him. He looked at his watch, and concluded he had still time to reach Plainville before the train would leave. But that would mean surrender, and surrender meant weakness.
