He enjoys a hike through the woods more than he does a walk over the city's streets. He can tell north or south or east or west by the .signs." He can tie a knot that will hold, he can climb a tree which seems Impossible to others, he can swim a - river, he can pitch a tent, he can mend a tear in his trousers, he can tell you Which fruits and seeds are poisonous . atxr which are not. he can sight nut- tearing trees from a distance, he can reef a sail or take bis trick at the Wheel, and can pull an oar or use pad dles or sculls; he knows the stars by name and can find his way by them; he can Identify birds and animals and fish and knows the ways and habitats of each. A scout walks through the woods with silent tread. No dry twigs snop under his feet and no loose stones turn oyer and throw him off his balance. His eyes are keen and he sees many things that others do not see. He sees tracks and signs which reveal to him the nature and habits of the creatures that made them. He knows how to stalk birds and animals and study them in their natural haunts. He sees much, but Is little seen. ': A scout, like an old frontiersman, does not shout his wisdom - from the housetops. , He possesses the quiet power that comes from knowledge. He speaks softly and answers questions .modestly, He knows a braggart but does not challenge him, allowing the boaster to expose his ignorance by his own loose-wagging tongue. matches can be had he can still have , imitating the click of a telegraph key. a fire, for he knows the secret of the rubbing sticks used by the Indians, and he knows how to start a blaze with only his. knife blade and a piece of flint. He knows, also, the danger of forest fires, and he kindles a blaze that will not spread. The fire once started, what a meal he can prepare out there in the open. Just watch nation well.

He keeps a close guard on his temper and never (makes a silly spectacle of himself by losing his head. He keeps a close guard on his tongue, for he knows that loud speech is often a cloak of Ignorance, that swearing is a sign of weakness, and that untruth fulness shatters the confidence ot oth ers. He keeps a close guard on his appetite and eats moderately of good food which will make hlin strong, he never uses alcoholic liquors because he does not wish to poison his body; jshort-cuts saves him he desires a clear, active brain, so he avoids tobacco. A scout never flinches in tho face of danger, for he knows that at such a time every faculty must be alert to preserve his safety and that of others. He knows what to do in case of fire, or panic, or shipwreck; he trains his mind to dirsjet and his body to act. In that no word of reproach can be brought against tho great brotherhood to which he has pledged h's loyalty. He seeks always to make the word " Scout" worthy of the respect of peo ple whose opinions have value. He wears his uniform worth'ly. Ho IOve His City.
