II AMERICAN
BOY SCOUTS
Tlio work of organizing the Ameri
can boy scouts throughout the Unit
ed States Is progressing rapidly, aud
every department Is being put upon a
substantial basis.
A committee from national head
quarters, composed of the managing
secretary nnd treasurer, James I
JIncGrath and General James It.
O'Beirne, paid nn official visit to Presi
dent Taft, Admiral Dewey and Gen
eral Atnsworth with the view of se
curing their co-operation in furthering
the interests of the American boy
scouts. Each of these gentlemen has
signified his interest in this movement.
Scouts Are Nonteetarlan.
The American boy scout movement
is open to Jew nnd gentile alike. ' It
Is not in any sense n religious move
ment. It is not a movement that will
tolerate proselytizing In any form. It
Is simply an ethical and character
building movement, its ethics being
founded upon the broad general prin
ciples to which all religions can sub
scribe and at which nono can carp.
It teaches tho boy loyalty to parents,
employers and superiors, honesty to
himself and his fellows, teaches him
to bo thrifty, to bo self supporting,
truthful, courteous nnd helpful to nil
people whenever tho opportunity of
icrs. To tho extent of inculcating dis
cipline and law and order of mind aud
tody, It Is military upon tho assump
tion that these are essential things to
tho boy's welfaro in Hfo, to his moral
and physical upbuilding and to tho na
tion that It may have a sturdy, honest
and loyal citizenship.
Anxious to Be Scouts.
The most intenso enthusiasm was
manifested by probably 600 boys of
the southern section of Philadelphia
who met In the New Royal hall on a
recent evening to listen to addresses of
leaders of the boy scout movement
and to take the first stops toward or
ganizing a South Philadelphia troop.
So great was the ardor that nt times
the boys would leave their seats in a
mass and rush cheering to the front of
the hall, crowding against tho stage.
The speakers would have to desist till

tho squad of policemen in attendance
could get the future scouts back in
their scats again.
The advantages and fun of being a
Rcout were extolled by the leaders of
tho movement in this city and by sev
eral civic olllclals in such nn alluring
manner that when tho names of volun
teers were asked for the organizers
wcro overwhelmed by tho universal
clamor for tho privilege of joining.
Organized Boyhood.
The boy scout movement, says Er
nest Thompson Seton In an article iu
Success Magazine describing this or
ganization, the American branch of
which was founded by him, is a man
making organization, openly warring
on tobacco, alcohol, dirt, cowardice
nnd anarchy, nnd recognizing that en
ergy must bo diverted never crushed.
It supplies abundant chnnnels for tho
useful application of youthful ener
gy and mnkes character development
agreeable by tho lasting charm of
tilings whoso universal appeal has
long been established.
Good Words For Scouts.
Secretary C. Lorlng Braco at tho re
cent nnnual meeting of tho New York
Children's Aid society in his report
snld:
"The training of tho boy scouts in
manliness nnd honesty and helpfulness
Is more needed by the tenement house
boys than others. Who will help us
organize them Into a detachment of
the boy scouts? Tho older boys sent
by an cast sldo mission organized
themselves into n gang, whoso ideals
were to disobey all regulations, gam
ble and maltreat smaller boys. Tho
boy scout movement would interest
these east side boys and would bring
influences to bear upon them to meet
the evils of street life."
At a recent meeting of tho Ardmore
troop of Ardmore, Pa., Owen Million,
soldier of fortune, scout and hero of
Mnfcklng, stirred up great enthusiasm
by relating somo of his experiences
in the Uoer war. After his address
ho gave tho boys Instruction in tho
rudiments of the Morse code and of
tho scout system of signaling. An
other interesting address was made by
Scout Master Sutton, who outlined tho
ptans for tho work ot the winter.
THE SHRINKING HAT.
Its Latest farm Is tlis Ct:ic Crocheted
Motor Cap.
As a result of the iloalre for a closo
dressing of the head many uf the new
hats arc if such a style that they
might more properly be described as
aps. They are merely soft crowns
with a little brim rolling up all around
or perhaps a band of fur on the edge.
Bomo dispense with the brim almost
Intlrely, having nothing more than a
bit of satin or other material turned
up on the crown In front or at the
side to break tho plainness of the line
surrounding the head.
Almost identical with these fashion
able hats, so far ns form is concerned,
nro tho crocheted wool caps which are
now so popular for motoring and
will bo used for all sorts of outdoor
sports during the wintry weather. 'Al
though the latter style of headgear of
fers tho enticements of pretty colors
combined with tho softness of fine
wools, it could never havo taken the
hold upon the fancy of women that it
has had not their minds been prepared
for It by all the head coverings re
sembling It in a greater or less degree
that hava gono before. To fashion such
a cap one has only to follow these
directions:
Make a chain of four stitches and
Join to a ring. Now work twelve
groups of puffs in this ring as follows:
Chain one, yarn over hook, draw a
loop up through tho ring; there are
three loops on hook, draw through all.
Itepeat from around aud join. Chain
one. yarn over hook nnd draw a loop
up where you Join, yarn over hook aud
draw through all threo loops, yarn
over hook, druw a loop up In tho next
stitch, yarn over hook, draw a loop
up in same place, yarn over hook and
draw through all five loops on hook.
CltOUBETED MOTOll CAP.
Repeat from around and Increase In
the fourth, eighth and twelfth stitches
by making an extra group in same
stitch.
Third round like second round.
Fourth round like second round; In
crease on sixteenth and twentieth
stitches also.
Fifth round Increase in tho tenth nnd
twentieth stitches only.
Sixth round increase in tho eighth,
sixteenth and twenty-fourth stitches.
Seventh round increase iu fourteenth
and twenty-eighth stitches.
Eighth, ninth and tenth rounds with
out Increasing.
Now work four rounds for tho turn
over, but turn your work each round.
A Hint Book.
"I havo a friend who is an old fash
ioned housekeeper, bless her," said n
woman recently.
"One of the greatest conveniences
that sho has Invented Is a 'book of
hints.' She keeps hanging upon the
peg near where she sews a blank
book with a pencil attached. When
ever she reads or hears of somo con
venient way of doing something or of
arranging nny matter personal or
household sho Jots It down. Her book
of hints, us she calls it, Is worthy of
publication.
"I peeped Into it the other day and
found mnny notes of deep Interest.
"Ono was, 'When Ironing take a
brick nnd heat it and use to place the
Iron upon, as It will keep the Iron hot
while acting as a stand to protect tho
ironing board or table.'
"Another was, 'Itun a tape through
tho end of the hatbox and you will
find the handle thus made a great
convenience In lifting down the box
from the high closet shelf.' "
Here and There About the House.
When cooking mush for fried mush
do not cook ns long as for eating, but
pour into n deep pan after stirring
ton minutes. When cold dip the slices
In beaten egg acd they will fry crisp.
It Is wise to wush the egg beater di
rectly after It is used. If this is im-
posslblo save yourself trouble later by
plunging it nt once into n bowl of wa
ter so tho egg cannot harden on it.

ery instance tho color will bo restored.

REVERSING
AN ADAGE
By HARVEY DALTON
Copyright, 1010, by American Pres
Association.
Force is tho basis of everything.
Force keeps us moving indeed, nlive.
And, strange to say, force is tho basis
of Christianity. Perhaps what I mean
will be pluluer when I have told my
story.
I had been a clergyman of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church in our town
for several years when I began to be a
doubter. I first doubted tho miracles.
That's tho way all skeptics begin, nnd
they think that if tho miracles wcro
out of tho way they could believe all
the rest. It was hard to get up in tho
pulpit ovcry Sunday nnd preach what
I didn't believe myself. Finally I ap
plied for a leave on the usual clorgy
man's ground a bad throat and wont
on a sea voyage.
Tho ship I sailed In was n tramp. I
was told that they had had flno weath
er for threo months. Somo of them
said they'd be glad to see a hurricane,
they had got so tired of sunshine and
light breezes. But tho day after I got
aboard tho weather changed, and, sure
enough, tho hurricane they wnnted
broke on us furiously. Wo were three
days fighting seas set going by wind
traveling at the rate of a hundred
miles an hour. We had everything bat
tened down, but tho waves pounded
out tho glns3 over tho cabins and so
much water poured into tho hold that
all hands passengers and all were
called upon to man the pumps.
During all this never did a sailor
pass me but he scowled at mo, and oc
casionally they would gather in knots,
talking and shooting malignant glances
nt me. I didn't know what It meant,
nnd before I found out tho wind died
down. But It came up again, and wo
went through three more days of "touch
the same kind of weather. When this
second storm was over I was standing
on tho deck one afternoon looking at
si rainbow which seemed to me a bow
of promlso when a number of sailors
headed by nn old salt with rings in his
ears came up to me, and tho old fellow
snld:
"Parson, we've come to the conclu
slon that you're bringing these storms
on us, nnd wo don't want no more of
'em. We're goln' to pitch you over
board." Seeing a capstan bar near mo, I seiz
ed it to use as a means of defense,
but a man behind mo was too quick
for me, nnd I was held iu a titanic
grip. This gavo the others a chince.
They closed and over I went.
The men continued to look over the
sldo of tho vessel to see what became
of me, especially as that place was
allvo with sharks, and I had scarcely
struck the surface when n big fellow
gavo a slow flap of his tall and float
ed toward mo. I'm a good swimmer
and had no difficulty in keeping on
the surface. Besides, I had hung on to
tho capstan bar, which wns enough to
float me anyway. Tho shark came
slowly up to me, turned on its side
with a view to taking me in, opened
wide its scissor Jaws and
Here the turning point of my story
comes in. I put ono end of the cap
stan bar on his lower jaw, and, just
as tho two started to get together, I
wedged tho other end in just back of
his teeth on his upper Jaw. And thcro
ho was.
I was floating about between tho
two rows of teeth, hanging on to tho
middle of the bar. Then when I was
satisfied the shark could not bito I
Just floated out and up to the sur
face.
Nothing succeeds like success. The
sailors who watched what I had done
threw lines down to me nnd hauled mo
up ngnln on deck.
The llrst thought that came into my
head was tho miracle I had most doubt
ed that of tho prophet Jonah. I saw
it in a different light than ever before.
Hadn't I just been through a- more ro
markable occurrence? And how had
I escaped? By the same way as I
had been tossed overboard force.
made up ray mind to stop doubting aud
go to work. I saw that tho sailors
after my experience with tho shark
wcro afraid of mo, nnd I resolved to
profit by their fear. I proposed there
after to preach the gospel peaceably
when I could, forcibly when I must,
"Every man Jack of you," I thunder'
cd, "come aft to prayers!"
I led them to tho nfter deck, not a
man refusing to follow, nnd gave them
half an hour's service. I established
two services a day, and nt every serv'
ico I read them the story of the
prophet Jonah, at the end asking them
if any ono of them disbelieved it. Tho
first day ono ftinn said it was all a lie,
I knocked him down. Ho got up, and
I knocked him down again, and ho
kept getting up and I knocking him
down, till nt Inst ho said, "I believe
you, parson, and I reckon you're tho
man thnt lived three doys In tho
wunlo's belly yourself."
Blnco then I hnvo believed that force
even in our calling is better than per
suasion. At any rate, there are cases
wbcro persuasion won't work, but force
will. And If there is any place whero
forco will work better than persuasion
It's among n ship's crew. I remained
aboard that ship soveu months, and I
found tho only way to lnduco the men
to believe- nnything extraordinary was
to hammer It into them. I thrashed n
man Into believing tho story of Sam
son, two men for doubting tho story
of Joshua making tho sun stand still
nnd every man of the crew for ridicul
ing tho falling- of the walls of Jericho
at the blowing of a ram's horn.

A
Origin of Coal.
Coal Is of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
water It undergoes a slow process ot
decomposition, giving off its nitrogen,
hydrogen, oxygen nnd somo carbon,
the result of which if carried far
enough Is tho formation of a mass of
carbon. Peat, found often In swampy
tracts, is the first stage in the coal
forming process, and the further
stages are formed by the burial of
theso vegetable deposits under great
loads of sediment, whero thoy become
subject to' pressure and sometimes to
heat This effects a Beries of chnnges,
consolidation and loss of oxygen and
gives n series of products whose nn.
turo depends on the degree to which
tho original vegetable matter has been
changed. Tho products aro known ns
lignite, bituminous coal and anthracite
coal.
Mixing His Dates.
There is a story of a man who was
so transported with Joy as ho stood
up at the altar rail to bo married that
his thoughts roverted to a day when
he stood up at tho prisoner's bar in a
court of Justlco to plead "guilty" or
"not guilty" to a criminal charge. So
powerfully did that, tho most painful
event of his life, obtrudo itself upon
his mind that when tho clergyman put
the question, "Wilt thou have this wo
man to be thy wedded wife?" nnd so
on. tho poor distracted bridegroom an
swered with startling distinctness,
"Not guilty, so help mo!" From Tuck
ermau's "Personal Kccollectlons."

Do You Suffer from
Splitting Headaches?
If headache sufferers would do a little
hard thinking, they would Muely learn that
headaches of all kinds are simply results
warning signals of far more serious
trouble. Usually headache means that
the blood and nerves aro poisoned by an
inactive and sluggish liver. Don't become
one of tho habitual headache sufferers who
explain their condition by saying: "Oh, I
am subject to headaches. 1 always get
headache If I get excited orit is top noisy."
There is no need of it either. Stop taking
dangerous headache powders, and put your
liver in good shape, so that it will carry off
foul secretions and remove properly the
bile elements from tho blood by taking
Smith's Pineapple and Butternut rills.
These little pills are Nature's true laxa
tive, and a positive cure for a torpid liver.
They assist digestion, unload the bile
ducts, and cure headache by first removing
the cause. Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit. You should always
keep them on hand. These little Vege
