The minister was extremely attrac

that. Every man admired the minis.
ter, too. His was most engaging
personality.
But things became trifle awkward
when it appeared as though the min.
lister could not talk to any one of the
opposite sex for more than ten minutes
without arousing observations.
And how weary he did get of being
told he mustn't take the last piece o.
cake in a dish. 1t was so tiresome
bit of sO-called witticism.
He realized that it might be difficult
for minister to be permitted tc
choose n wife for himself. He some

He feared that one might even take
almost anyone to dodge the constant
comments and chatter on matrimony

And then the minister fell in love
Oh, madly and rapturously in love
And with a girl from out-of-town whom

BUILD FROM FOUNDATION

We have heard scouting praised by judges and fire chiefs, by elergymen and policemen. Recently came a yer dict in favor of scouting as leaven by representative of another calling
 "a Lincoln Qllinois) motorman. This gentleman announces that since scout ing took root in Lincoln he has noticed a marked decrease of mischieyous and annoying pranks on the part of boys who formerly liked to flip" cars and do other things to make themselves a nuisance to car men. The speaker was of the opinion that the boy scout attitude of mind has had much to do with this desirable change, not only because the movement puts it's fol- lowers on their honor, but also be- cause it gives boys something useful and interesting to occupy their time and attention, which is, by the way, an opinion arrived at independently and coincides with that of some of the most famous educators in the world. An editorial in the Lincoln Star re- porting the motormans verdict adds
 "This may be a little matter as things go, but it is one of the small matters that go to make big ones"
 The scouts believe in going to the bot tom and building the boys up. If they are right in small things they will not err in the larger.
