R ETTHI asy to get E' Sout to nar. rate his ‘good turns, DU He Toss e for all that. Here are a few little items with big significance reported from Knoxville, Tenn.: 4 “A man inquired of me where a cer- tain number was, He €oyld Teither read nor:write, ;<o 1 took Kifn, to the | house he was looking for.” 3 “Came @cross a boy who bad turnetl his ankie and could net. walk: . I picked him up and carried him to his home nearby.” “A lady locked her front door and found, when she came home, she had left the key inside. I went through: the window -and opened the door for her.” “It was raining the other day and I saw a horse standing .in. the road. There was a horse blanket in the wagon, so I put it on'the horse.” And this laconic statement, all from one small boy, no name attached: “Carried in kindling for neighbor. Fixed pair of skates for little boy. Carried suitcase to depot for lady. Let a boy have some money. Weént to town for a man. Looked after a-slck boy while his mother worked. Got some medicine from drug store for sick boy.” ¢ Quick work on the part of a troep of boy scouts in forming a bucket line probably saved the home of Robert Patterson of Indianapolis. - Eighteen scouts, all members of Troop-48, were meeting in a church near the Patter- son home, when somebody reported the fire. A bucket brigade was formed and several boys, each climbing on the shoulders of another, made:a. human . iadder until the top boy could reach and throw to the ground a:number. of burning shingles. When the fire com- pany arrived the fire was out. SCOUT KEY TO BOYS' HEARTS - When Chief Scout Executive West stepped off the train at°Cincinnati a while ago he received the -salute of more than a hundred uniférmed scouts. Richard Neff, president of the, focal council, presented Mr. West with the gold key to the local scout group, bearing the words, “Cincinnati Boy Scouts.” “Many visitors have received the key to our city,” said Mr. Neff. “You are the first to receive the key 40 our most sacred possession, the hearts of our boys.” THE BOY SCOUT WAY A woman from Anaconda, Mont, lost a valuable sapphire ring while on a camping trip last summer. To her surprise, a brisk and businesslike young boy scout appeared at her door, 'inquiring if she had lost: a ring and politely requested a description there- of. When satisfied that he-had found the real owner, the scout produced the ring. Delighted at getting back her treasured possession, the woman asked the boy to call at her husband’s office and get a reward for his pains. It was then that she got her second sur- prise, for the scout Just grinned and shook his head—"We -scouts don’t look for rewards for doing little things like that”—and he slipped away, not even leaving his name. ;.

They run true to the tradition of the pavements and the tenements, these English sparrows who fly about all day in the colonnades of Madison Square garden and ‘who roost in the vicinity each night. Now, the ‘trees in the square are nothing to boast of, Jjudged as trees, says a New York Sun writer, but regarded as perches for a.; couple of hundred sparrows they | would appear to,be entirely adequate. Not many are large, and some are dead apparently, but there are many - vaeant limbs and trees enough so that there should-be no housing problem for the local flock of ‘thesessmai-birds, with drab feathers and a reputation for worthlessness. i _ Instead of taking advantage of all the vacant-limbs and:trees:-that-would i aftord sémi-privacy for-the dozens of small groups the whole erowd huddles together .on a -single ‘1tmb -of o single tree toward the -Fiftl: ‘avenue and Twenty-sixth street’corie! & It .may be darker tqnu otlier spots, it may be out of the sweep ‘of the wind to some extent.

RAP AT MODERN PREACHERS Bishop Denny Tells Good Story in Which Distinct Moral Is Not Too Well Hidden. Bishop Collins Denny saild in an address in Richmond: “Y heard a story the other day that hits a good many preachers. It seems that the Jjanitor of a fashionable church was showing his wife through the edifice, At the end of the inspec- tion he sald to her: ' “‘Would you like preach? “‘Go on! objected. 3 “‘Can’t I, though? sald the janitor, and he went up into the pulpit and ranted and roared and raged a good 20 minutes or more about the vile sins | committed daily by -the ‘heathen in equatorial Africa. “Then when he finished, he said, as he came down, wiping ‘his et face: “‘There; how was that for a ser- mon? “qt was mighty fine,’ said his wife, | ‘But you told all about the sins of the | natives away off in Africa and never .a werd about the sins of tlie folks right here at home.’ 4 “The janitor chuckled. 2 “‘Ha!

Bulls. To show that bull-fighting is really as simple, and as bloodless, and as refreshing as a quiet game of golf, Senor Char- lot Molino, fa- mous Castillian matador, has been staging arena bat- tles all over the country for the benefit of the American Legion, Moliuo is an ex- B German fighter, besides being a bull-fighter. When he goes mto the ring with his fire-breathing animal, he carrles a small red cloth to make the animal wroth. He carries no sword and trusts entirely to his ‘adroit footwork to save him from embarrassment at the horns of the bull. He wears a genulne costume of red velvet trimmed with gold, valued at $2,000. The Legion has picked up the idea of “bloodless bull-fighting,” and re- cently staged an encounter in the Jer- sey City stock yards with the matador armed with a fence picket. Although the matador had to jump the fence on several occasions jn order to keep the true “bloodless” nature of the affair, he succeeded In putting on a good battle. SHORTAGE IN PANTS SUPPLY Evidently Pioneers’ Wardrobes Were, at Loast to a Certain Extent, Unpleasantly Limited. In the early days of central Illinols, | & perlod when the settlers drove thelr | hog. to market at Clilcago, breaking & path in winter by means of a yoke of oxen and a heavy log, a certain young man was in' the habit of walk- ing eight miles to see his best girl. On the occasion of one visit a heavy snowstorm swept the prairle, and the young man found it necessary 'to re- main until morning. He slept in un “outside” room, the space between the logs being unfilled. The old-fashioned feather bed with wool blankets pro- ‘tected him from the zero weather. It so happened that the young man wore the style at that date, buckskin pants. Thoughtlessly on retiring he laid his pants on top of the bed- clothes. A coyote or wolf crawled through the cracks between the logs in the night and carried his pants away. The theft was revealed when | the young man was called for break- fast, and to cap the climax, not an | extra pair of pants was to be had. | The young man was forced-to stay in bed and send a.boy eight miles to his. home for pants. There was only one pair in his family, thoge worn by his father. Thus the father had to go to, bed and send the boy these pants in order that the latter could get back home.—Indianapolis News. | Keeps the World Young., The normal child is an Investigator, an explorer. He Is credulous by in- stance. He must find out for himself, He is hungry for life and experience, and is not satisfied merely to accept the thrashed-over straw of social and traditional knowledge. Elders are oft- en apprehensive because of this trait || of youth. But this exploring hunger, born anew with- each generation, is. after all, what keeps the world young. interesting and open to progress. So if the elder cannot hand down all of his treasures of experience to his children, perhaps it wouid be better for him to live le=g “ncugh. himself bling at a girl's back hair when she had her face w oy to be wise.—Arkansaw Thomas Cat. of the actualicarrying passengers. | GREAT DISCOVERY BY YOUTH,’ Experiments of Sevent r-Old Saxon Gave Dresden China to an Appreciative Werld. A king's faith in the transmutation of metals and the skill of an apothe- cary’s seventeen-year-old son caused the discovery of the celebrated Dres- den ware. The king was Augustus of Saxony and the boy was Bottiger, who composed a tincture that was supposed to.be capable of being transformed in- to gold. much fun for Bottiger,. for the king locked him in a complete laboratory and refused him freedom, “O'Dair” writes in the Milwaukee Sentinel: The restraint almost unbalanced the boy's mind. “He foamed at the mouth ard kx'mcko.ll his head against the wull and trembled so violently that two sddibrs could not hold him. And, he drank 12 ¢ans of beer a day without getting drunk.” It was thought advisable to move the boy te Dresden and give lim certain liberty. While continuing' his experiments there he discovered the Meissen porcelain, commonly énttéd Dresden china, This disco vore- Joiced "Augustus and he -spent large sums in constructing the Japan pal- ace. Many workmen came from Delft to make the new ware and soon all| Europe -was buying Meissen. In gratitude the king gave Bottiger his freedom, a ring with his efligy, two apes, a young bear and credit with the royal banker, and In addition the profits from the porcelain factory for life. But wiat do you think! Bettiger| died of dissipation at the age of thir- ty-four. Seasoned Autoist.
