THIS WEEK'S SCOUT-O-GRAM Rothschild, the rich merchant of Frankfort, calling to his office one of his employ es, told him he was going to start a business in the United States and asked him how much time he would need before he could sail 'for San Francisco to undertake the work.

Then he called another man and repeated his words to him "I would need three days", this man said. A third man was called. "I am ready at once", said he. "Good," said the merchant, "Prom today you are a partner in our new firm in San Francisco and you will sail to-morrow".

SCOUT-0-GRAM Your Shadows. -- Perhaps you've never noticed, but your Shadow us- ually falls on the ground as you walk down the street. . Sometimes, as that shadow falls," it protects; sometimes it robs of sunlight. Each one us has also an Unseen Shadow of In- fluence, not so much different from this other shadow that people see. Call it the Inside-shadow if you want; call it the Human soul if you want. Still it is simply the shadow of life that we cast into the lives of others. This shadow comes through God rather than from the Sun, Consider for a moment whether the Shadow of your Unconscious Influence Protects or Depresses those upon whom it falls. Watch your Shadow !--Everyboy's Scrap Book.
