\ Scouts of America.) SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP, ' " Every boy scout attending the White Plains Council camp this summer, 18 given a little folder on the application of the scout law in camp. Here are a few of the paragraphs discussing the different laws: A Scout ls Trustworthy.—A scout’s honor Is truSted in éamp as well as | elsewhere. The things’ you brought to camp belong to you and what the other campers brought belong to them. Do not take anything that does not belong to you without asking per- mission of the owner. anything, you are {rusted with it and | are expected to return it in as good a condition as when taken to the place or person from whom borrowed. You are respansible for ary camp tools or equipment you may use which are the property of the camp. Be careful with them and return them to their proper place. When on-a hike with other scouts or alone, you are op your honor and expected to behave as a scout. A Scout Is Cheerful.—Smile, smile, smile. No long face in camp, It will cheer you up and also the other ffib low. Do youy work cheerfully and don’t grumble at hardships nor shirk your duty. There are duties to be done in camp; go at them with a smile and you will work better and quicker. Time is saved by doing vour task the | best it can be done. Don’t consider it done until it is done in the very best way. gt A Scout 1s Thrifty—The camp | equipment has cost a great deal of | money. It belongs to the scouts. How long it lasts, depends a great deal on how you use it. A scout does not de- ; stroy any property whether it belongs | to himself or to another. Respect the " | rights of others by using their things in the right way. Make good use of your time in camp by learning some- thing that will be of use to you, It {sn’t necessary to spend all your money because it has been given you or you have earned it. To save it from being lost or recklessly spent the camp bank is.operated; Deposit it | there, 1 _— L BROTHER SCOUTS. | i | | | Chief Manabozho (Mohawk) and | :8cout Charles Holly (Manhattan) ati iLake Kanchwahke (Boy Scout Camp, :Spencer, N .Y.) b e e i {BOY.

The trite re- flection comes to mind naturally on hearing how the quarries of King $ol- | omon were found. Dr. Allen Moore, | for 17 years a resident of Palestine, | tells the curious tale. i | For many many years, says Doctor Moore, travelers and archeologists were puzzled to know where the enor- mous blocks of stone still standing in the ruins of Solomon’s temple at Jeru- | salem were quarried. One day a lit- tle dog Chased a lizard down a hole among the debris. The next instant ' the dog also disappeared. His master, coming to the opening, | peered down in vain. He called, and to his amazemeént his voice came back as from great depths. He summoned assistance, and a passage was opened into immense subterranean quarries. There were found huge masses of stone almost ready to be hoisted | above ground.” # i “And don’t you remember,” asks | Doctor Moore, “that we are tolq in | our Bibles that the temple was built | without sound of saw or of hammer? The fact that the Quarryman worked | underground partly explains that.” Upon some of the stones were found inscriptions that perplexed ‘the explor- | ers until one scholar pronounced them{ }Phoenlcian. The stones were wrought by some of that army of workmen sent | by King Hiram of Tyre to aid King Solomon in his task.—Youth's Com- | panion, » | GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO | In Cold Weather the Bird Finds a Safe and Warm Retreat in Snow House. In the temperate months the grouse | has an excellent choice of food con- sisting of @ great variety of berries, | small fruit, seeds, buds, clover, beech- | nuts, grasshoppers and a multitude of young, tender leaves. In the winter | one wonders at their survival; for | now the fall flight of the robins com- pletely exhausts the berries, which were wont to linger and ripen well into winter, compelling the grouse to | largely upon yellow birch | buds, with many a forced meal on an evergreen, Fortunately, whenever the tempera- | ture is far below zero the sky is usu- ally clear and the grouse are nctlve§ and unconcerned, but if the days and nights are dark and cold or the air filled with merciless pellets, they have the habit of plunging inté deep snow- drifts, where a foot below the surface the heat and weight of the body form a globulaf retréat, in which they re- clears or hunger forces an exit. Sometimes in winter or the early |J spring there may come a rain or a warm day that melts the surface snow | followed by severe weather, gnd then | thousands of grouse are imprisoned | and the heretofove safe retreat be- | comes their tomb, should weeks pass | by before the seal is broken.—Na- | tiondl Geographic Magazine, | | Who Made the Alphabet? If it takes a genius to make great | words, {t was also a genius who made | the alphabet which makes the words. | The pedigree of our alphabet can be | traced continuously for nearly 3,000 | years, and then comes a hiatus, says a | | recent writer, Tl)e\g(\nosls of writing | must ‘naturally.be sought in pictures. | Caveman, when he painted his women ! or beasts on rock walls, or carved ells | and elephants on antlers and tusks, | was laying the foundations of one of | the great human inventions. Behind ! all this apt artistic effort we must see | some esoteric motive, for it was nnti due merely to the striving of the crea- ! tive soul after expression. Doubtless, | adds our authority, when caveman held an exhibitlon of his works, his friends ! | praised the ingenuity and beauty of | his pictures, but there is something | more than the desire of simple repro- | ductlon hidden in his handiwork, | Down on the Farm.‘ - | A young man spending a vacation was walking about the country lanes in an endeavor to hide from himself entirely all town life or anything which reminded him of town life. Chancing across a country postman, he stopped him and asked what time | it was. Pulling out hfy watch, the postman | deliberately replied: | + “It’s four o'clock in the afternoon | by the railway time.” | “By railway time!” ejaculated the young man. “I should say that you country folk, living in the open alr, in the heart of the country, as’you do, ' would take your time from the sun.” “What for?” asked the rural post- ! man, “Bean't we much closer to the rallway—even if it be 12 miles—than we be to the sun?’—Rehofoth Sunday Herald. | Wye Island Home.
