M ANY years ago, long before Mr. Fox was called clever or sly, or Mr. Owl a wise bird, or any of the wood folk had earned any name for themselves other than their own, there was trouble between Mr. Fox and Mr. Possum. It happened In this way. Mr. Fox one night went for chickens to a farm a long way from his home, and when he arrived he found that the poultry house door was open and It was easy enough to get all he wanted, for Mr. Dog was away. The only trouble was that he had no place to store them, and it was too far to carry them to his home and go back for more. Mr. Fox happened to think of Mr. I’ossum, and he decided that he would make a bargain with him to take care uio title. He was sitting in a tree near by where Mr. Possum had made his new home and heard all that had been said. “Perhaps you are mistaken, Mr. Fox,” he said; “you had better go buck to the cave under the tree and look again.” “It is under a rock, not a tree,” cor rected Mr. Possum, who had just said he did not know anything about the cave or rock. “Oh, ho,” exclaimed Wise Mr. Owl, “you do know something about it, after all.” “Mr. Fox, go right In and search this fellow’s home, and If he mdkes any trouble about it I will call all the wood folk and tel) them what a deceitful fellow he (s.” “Oh, how wise you are, Mr. Owl!” said Mr. Fox ns he came out of Mr. Possum’s house with his chickens; “you are the wisest bird i ever knew, and wise you shall be called from this day.” And when there is any dispute among the wood folk now they always call on Mr. Owl to settle it-, for Mr. Fox told everybody how clever and wise was Mr. Owl in finding out about his chickens, though he was careful not to tell who had them.

As I told you, this happened long (before Mr. Fox was clever; he would liot do such a thing now. So he called on Mr. Possum and Hold him if he would take care of the (chickens he would give him two fine ones to pay for his kindness. Mr. Possum said he would and that he would store them safely away un der a rock by his house where there iwas a cave. Mr. Fox trotted back and forth all flight with fat chickens which he put in the cave under the rock, but he did |not know that as fast as he put them away Mr. Possum carried them to an other part of the woods. When it was almost daylight Mr. (Possum took another chicken and de- rparled for good, and when Mr. Fox uooked into tlie cave he found only a I few of the many chickens he had (placed there. I Mr. Possum was nowhere to be found. He' had moved bag and bag gage to another home, but Mr. Fox hunted until he found him, and the trouble began. j Mr. Possum said he was not the same Mr. Possum. “ T never lived in the place you speak of, and I do not know about any rock or cave or chick ens; you have the wrong fellow, Mr. Fox,” he said. Mr. Fox was surprised at the bold imanner of Mr. Possum, for he was jsure he was the one he was looking [for; still there was a chance that he |had made a mistake.

Moderation, the noblest gift of Heaven. —Euripides. ——- R ECENTLY at a silver wedding anniversary of a prominent New Yorker the invitations, which were engraved in silver, contained these words at one side: “The demands of war relief are pressing. We hope for your presence—not presents—at our silver wedding anniversary.” Among the guests present at tills anniversary reception were scores of New York’s most noted society folk, tlie very people whom we usually look to for leadership In such matters of social usage. So if you are looking for a precedent in adding to your invita tions for anniversary receptions or other occasions when presents might be expected some indication of the fact that you would prefer not to have them, here it is. The fact is that often people re frain from having wedding anniver sary parties for the simple reason that they hesitate to send invitations that will make the recipients feel that they are obliged to make some sort of present. When this is for a tin or wooden wedding the obligation is trifling, but when it is for a silver or golden wedding then there is more cause for this hesitancy. Usually any anniversary for any thing less than a silver wedding takes ^V.VV.V.V.V.SV.W.VAV.W.VAWAVAV/ZA'JWAVWA “What’s in a Name?” \ Facts about your name; its history; meaning; whence it was derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel. J By MILDRED MARSHALL w^mmvAWAW,mw^mv.vv,NviMww MAGGIE. A LTHOUGH Scottish in itself, the name Maggie is originally derived from the Persian, being of the same root as the name Margaret. To the lucky bearer of this name, the pearl is the jewel assigned. The delight ful notion that the oyster, rising to the surface of the ocean at night and opening its shell in adoration, received in its mouth a drop of dew congealed by the moonbeams, is responsible for this delicate fantasy of the pearl. The name was brought to Scotland by Margaret Eithering, wife of Mal colm Ceanmde, where it became the national Sottish feminine name. Be cause a pearl of price is asso ciated with the pearly gates of the celestial regions, the name of Maggie i—or, more usually, Its original, Mar- Igaret, has been given to innumerable Uni saints.

Her lucky day is set as Monday, and seven is her fortunate number. For her to dream of pearls signifies faithful friends.

This may be In the nfternoon or eve ning. For the afternoon affair the hours on the Invitation cards would usually be from three to six, though guests seldom do arrive before half past three or four and many late comers linger after the six o’clock hour. No guest, however, would arrive alter the last hour mentioned on the card. Bear in mind, however, If you are sending an anniversary present that although a wedding present is sent to the bride, the anniversary present is sent to both husband and wife. The question of whether or not to wear one’s first wedding frock is one that puzzles some women when plan ning their twenty-fifth anniversary, and really It ought not to be very difficult to solve. There is the best of prece dent for the custom but when the bride of twenty-five years has changed very much in form the wedding dress may be extremely unbecoming to her or it may need very considerable alteration to make It possible to wear. The effect then is not apt to be pleas ing, and the woman so dressed may look very much less attractive than if she were dressed in a reception frock less rich in association. Under no con dition should she wear the bridal veil, however, ns this Is alone appro priate to the maiden bride. (Copyright.) O A LINE O’ CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs. PEPPER AND SALT.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT? By C. N. LURIE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them "SIT" AND “SET." P ROBABLY It is impossible to teach Jhe great majority of Americans the difference between the two words “sit” and “set,” but grammarians have been trying to do so for many years. “Come in and set down," says one’s host. He is hospitable, but his gram mar is faulty. He should say, “Come in and sit down.” Whether a hen sets on a nest or sits on it is not certain, in grammar, since the point is disputed, but it is quite certain that you do not “sit” a hen on her nest; you “set” her there. It is incorrect to say: "The vase sets on the table”; say, instead, “The vase rests, or stands, on the table.” Do not sny, “The flagpole sets firmly in its socket,” but say, “The flagpole is set firmly In its socket.” If you prefer, j-qu may suy, instead, “The flagpole sits firmly in its socket." (Copyright) 0 Explained. “Pa, what’s the difference between an epithet and an epitaph?” “One Is applied to a man before he Is dead, and the other after, my son." SCOUTING AND LOYALTY A boy is naturally a loyal young animal. He will stick to his “gang" through thick and thin, will never “go back" on a chum, no matter at what cost to himself, and scouting, dealing as usual with fundamental boy in stincts, makes use of this natural ten dency, turns it to constructive ends. In scouting, boy loyalty is both taken account of and developed. Loyalty to the patrol, the troop, the scoutmaster, go over into loyalty to the community, to home and church and school, to God and country as pledged by the scout oath. No one who has ever seen a troop of boy scouts taking the oath of alle giance to the flag, grave, earnest, sin cere, can doubt that here are Ameri cans in the making to whom the Stars and Stripes are not merely a strip of gay-colored bunting, but stand for something real and true, something worth dying for, if need be. Scouts are being trained in citizen ship which means not only that they know the history of this country and how its laws are made, but that they stand ready to serve the nation in whatever ways a boy may. Co-oporat- ing in a nation-wide Forest Protection week, as they did in May last, fight ing forest fires, planting trees, aiding in city clean-ups and health surveys, fighting gypsy moths and bagwovms and fungus blights, sharing in efforts at wild life conservation, aiding the police in directing traffic, serving as fireman’s aides, etc., they are prac ticing citizenship here and now, are learning it, by living it, day by day. Everywhere we are seeing today war’s dangerous aftermath of lawless ness, especially * among our youth. Scouting offers one of the best anti dotes for this ill, for a scout stands for law and order. Scouts learn to obey, not as “blind driven cattle," but as good citizens who recognize the necessity and reasonableness of law. A scout executive in West Virginia re cently examined tlie court records of his town for ten years back and found that not a single scout or a boy under scout Influence had ever passed through the court, and similar records are every now and then reported from various parts of the country. A scout is loyal—too loyal to lie a law breaker. Ours, is a great country and lias great problems to meet. No one can tell what tlie next few years will hold, but we can be sure of one tiling, that no nation can be stronger than its men, and that every bit of splendid volunteer leadership in the work of making men “physically strong, men tally awake, morally straight,” will count immeasurably for good and as the best sort of patriotic service. “Save a man. you save one person. Save a boy, you save a whole multi plication table." HEROIC WORK IN PUEBLO FLOOD Among tlie many instances of heroic service in rescue work during the Pueblo flood disasters, that of two boy scouts stands out conspicuously. On hearing that a man and his young son were trapped in a burning build ing, surrounded by tlie ever rising tides of onruslilng water, they hastily manned a lifeboat and pulled through the dangerous current to the burning building. The owner of the place and his son were rescued with great risk, not only because of the floods but be cause the burning building was being shaken by terrific explosions all the time from the lime stored therein. Having discovered that three em ployees were also in tlie burning plant, the scouts returned a second time, battling desperately with the waters, and got the other victims also to safety. Hardly had they gotten into tlie boat when another more violent explosion -occurred and the building crumbled and fell into the water. MOTHER DESERVES GOOD TURN A Washington, D. C., Scoutmaster in speaking of the good turn says; “One fellow more entitled to our good turn and courteous and loving con sideration than any other is MOTHER. She 1ms* done a whole lot for us. On our account she lias given up parties and pleasures, pretty dresses, warm coats and new hats. She has sat up nights to care for us or mend our clothes. She has worked and prayed for us. In fact there doesn’t seem to be anything she has not done for us and we can’t even half, repay her. Any scout who lets a whole day pass with 4 out doing something to make mother glad is a scout who fails to live up to the standard of Troop 33." DO PRACTICAL MAP WORK. One of the requirements for a first class boy scout is to be able to read a map correctly, and draw, from field notes made on the spot, an intelligible rough sketch-map, indicating by their proper marks Important buildings, roads, trolley lines, main landmarks, principal elevations, etc. All this in volves no small amount of practical skill and field work and in many places map-work classes are conduct ed for scouts. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (Conducted by National Council o£ the Boy- Scouts of America.) Lesson (By RL >. r. b. I'liZbAxad, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute,of Chicago.) (©, 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 10 SAUL THE PHARISEE. LESSON TEXT—Acts 7:54-8:3; 22:3, 4; 16:4, 5, 9. 10. GOLDEN TEXT—Christ Jesus came Into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.—1 Tim. 1:15. REFERENCE MATERIAL-1 Cor. 15:9; Gal. 1:13; Phil. 3:4-6; I Tim. 1:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—Going to School In Jerusalem.—Acts 22:3, 4; 5:34. JUNIOR TOPIC — Saul Persecuting Christians. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Young Pharisee. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Saul Persecuting the Church. 1.. Saul's Training as a Pharisee (Acts *211:3,4; 2(3:4,5). 1. Taught to love his own nation. “1 am a Jew.” The Pharisees were the nationalists of their day. Those who are intelligently loyal to their own nation can more effectively help others. 2. Taught to love God’s law. “Taught according to the perfect manner of the law of tlie fathers.” Love for the Holy Scriptures is a valuable asset in life. Qne may misinterpret it and dangerously misapply it; but if he has love in his heart for it there is hope of getting him to come into right relationship to It. 3. Was “zealous toward God.” The root of the word “zealous” signifies “to boil.” It means a passion for God and Ills work. . It was zeal for God that made Saul think of and plan for ills work. This zeal for God ex pressed itself in persecution of the Christians whom he regarded as do ing that which was contrary fo God’s law and purpose. He spared neither age nor sex, even to imprisonment and death (Acts 22:4). II. Saul Thoroughly Conscientious (2(3:9, 10). In Iiis conscientiousness he opposed Jesus, for he regarded Him as an impostor. Saul is to be commended in that he responded to his conscience, but lie is to be condemned for his attitude toward Jesus; for there was overwhelming evidence that Jesus was God’s Son and came in fulfillment of the Scriptures. The resurrection of Christ was such an outstanding mira cle—a proof of the Deity of Christ, that there was no room left for doubt. III. Stephen’s Martyrdom (Acts 7: 54; 8:3). In order to understand the signifi cance of his martyrdom we must ob tain a synthetic view of his life. 1. Who Stephen was (6:1-7). He was one of tlie seven who were ap pointed to look after the temporali ties of the church. 2. Why Stephen was opposed (6:8- 15). In ills work he testified of Christ and by the Holy Spirit wrought mira cles. These mighty works aroused the people. Thp following features characterized him: (1) Wisdom, which means common sense; (2) grace, which means beauty of charac ter; (3) power. He had the ability to do wonders and great signs and speak the truth effectively. The men of the opposing synagogues were uot able to “withstand the wisdom and 1 lie Spirit by which he spake.” They arrested and brought him before the great council. Even here they could not silence him by argument, so they decided to do it by violence. 3. Stephen stoned (7:54-60). Before the council he made a magnificent de fense. This he did by tracing the history of Israel from the call of Abra ham to tlie crucifixion of Christ. His aim in this review was to show that God never had been localized and that the temple was but a small part of God’s plan. In his address he did not speak against tlie temple, but showed that God did not in the full est sense dwell in it at any time. He proved this from Scripture (Isa. 61: 1, 2; I Kings 8-27). In his conclu sion he declared that the Jews had always been a stiff-necked people, re sisting the Holy Spirit, and now their stubbornness hud reached its culmina tion in the betrayal, rejection and murder of tlie Son of God. This charge cut .to the heart. His argu ments were unanswerable. Being un willing to answer him and at the same time to accept the truth presented, their anger was stirred to its highest pitch ; so their only answer was stones. .They gnashed upon him as a riiad dog. In this hour of trial God gave him a wonderful vision. He was permitted to see into heaven itself, and there he got sight of the glorified Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. 4. Shephen’s burial (8:1-3). His death is described as a falling asleep. This is really all that death is to the Christian. Devout men buried him, making great lamentation over him. Power of Prayer. “There are five outlets of power— through our life, our lips, our service, our money, our prayer. And by all odds tlie greatest of these is the outlet through prayer. . . . The greatest thing anyone can do for God and for man is to pray.”—S. D. Gordon. How to Serve God. Serve the Lord with gladness. Enter Into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thank ful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good.—Psalms 100:2, 4, 5.
