Although the Moving Man screamed
at the top of his voice when he spoke
to the boy and girl adventurers they
liked hearing what he had to say to
them They We're anxious to meet
his daughter. They had heard that
she was always behind in everything
because She was always waiting for
something to happen.
In that way she missed so much
that was happening right around her
because she didn't have the sense to
notice it.
But as they were talking to the
Moving Man, he stopped suddenly and
said, Here comes my wife. Look at
her. Isn't she pretty mess!"
The boy and the girl looked at Mr.
Moving Mans wife. She was certain
ly pretty mess, but still it did seem
strange to think of Mr.. Moving Man
calling his own wife such thing.
"Good-day, Mrs. Moving Man." said
the girl 81 hope you're quite we'll"

girl as she was grabbed by the Shout

you ask your husband to let us GO?
We haven't done anything. We're

"Oh, he'll never let you go if that's
where you're bound for He tried once
to get there himself and couldn't, so
he doesn't like to hear of other folks
going there"
Mr.. Moving Mans grip on the boy
seemed less tight though he couldn't
get away from him and the boy whis

SCOUTING AND CITIZENSHIP

In general human beings may be
roughly classified into two divisions
the kind who throw banana peels and
waste paper Oh the sidewalk and the
KIND who not Only refrain from such
acts of selfish responsibility them.
selves, but pick up banana peels and
waste paper from the sidewalk and
deposit them in the proper receptacle
1t is the difference between the spir-
its of good citizenship and bad citi-
zenship.
1t is the glory of the scout move
ment that it is intoxicating all over the
country the spirit of responsible citi-
zenship il its growing boys. Out in
Ogden City, last winter, a boy scout
quietly posted himself at dangerous
iy slippery point on the street where
great many persons had been falling
10 the huge amusement of a guffawing
crowd of by-standers, warned people
OF the danger, and helped women
across. Nobody told him to do it. He
just did it because it was somebody's
job ard he made it his, as a respon-
sible citizen.
Another significant little story is
told of a group of scouts who had
for weeks been taking care of dan
gerous street crossing near school
building, guiding smaller children
across in safety, day in and day out.
Nobody knew they were doing it. no
body asked them to do it. They were
not looking for praise from anyone for
doing it. 1t was job to be done by
somebody and they were glad to take
it on because they were scouts and
therefore responsible citizens.-Scout-
ing.

It's the same with me. There are
a number of us, too.
You see l have always been going

I've picked up brambles and burrs but
I've never even stopped long enough

"And my husband Mr. Moving man,
