S.VEN though they stay at
several delightful trips this summer. This sounds like a
fairy tale taking trips at honw, but it may be done. All
the Busy Bees need la imagination and railroad pamphlets
and they may travel all over this big country of ours. ; They
may take trips on the Great Lakes, through the Canadian
Rockies, to the Yosemlte valley, around the northern Cali
m
fornia country, through the Yellowstone
ful spots.
The pamphlets which the railroads get out are so complete, so full of
information and pictures, that one may get a good idea of a trip simply by
going through them carefully. And these booklets jnay be had nlmply by
.asking for them at the city ticket offices of the railroads, or at most by
sending a few cents for them.
SuppoGe you want to take a trip through the Yellowstone the great
national park In northwest Wyoming. Go to the railroad offhes and ask
for pamphlets of the Yellowstone trip.' Some of them are elalwrate with
beautiful colored pictures and all are chock full of interesting data con
cerning the park and a trip through it.
The booklets have a history of the park, a map with an outline of the
trip taken through it and a description of the scenery along -the route.
Study the map and as you progress from one point to the next on the route
given, Just compare the places on the map with the' pictures of cenery in
the pamphlets and imagine that you are there taking the trip. ; When you
are through you will find that you know a good deal about this lovely
spot; that you have a fair idea of the geography of the place and that
you have seen in Imagination a gorgeous array of mountains, canyons,
rivers, springs, falls, rapids and geysers. You will know better "what
these wonderful phenomena look like if you have co'ored pictures, for these
give as near as possible the exact coloring of the seer ery.

Fort Douglas.

Boy Scout Who Knows
Boy scouts have sprung up in all parts 1
of the city In years past. Some of the
i boys are still scouts and some have gone
out of the ranks as strangely as they
eair.e In, but there is one true scout. Not
enly In name Is Frank Campbell, son of
Frta : L. Campbell, 201 South Thirty
fourth street, a boy scout, but also at
heart. He U the peer and leader of all
Omaha ccouts.
Twi) years ago, then 13 years old, he
became imbued with the desire to be
numbered among the active young Ameri
can scouts. He was taken under the
tutelage of Rev. M. O. McLaughlin, and
his name enrolled among the list of
tcouts of Eagle patrol.
He was a youngster then, he Is still In'
fact, but he is a different kind of a
youngster now. Not a bird that flies
over the fertile soil of Nebraska is un
known to Frank Campbell. Each bird
has a different note and even If Frank
Is not able to see the feathery one, he
knows what It Is by Its song. Each
plant that grows In Nebraska has a name
I and some use. The young scout knows
lot the name of each plant, what family
i it belong to, and If It Is edible or not.
When Frank Campbell, jr., joined the
scout movement he did not do It with a
desire only , to say he was a boy scout.
He Joined because hia heart was in the
work." He worked and studied. He took
all kinds of examinations and tests. He
never failed. Today he Is the only first-
class scout in Omaha and Is the leader
of Eagle ratrol, which two years ago he
Joined as a private. He was the first
aide to General Baden-Powell when the
latter was a visitor In Omaha last Feb-
nuary.
Last summer the young, enthusiastic
scout wished to take the examination for
first-class scout. Rev. McLaughlin was
Being to the mountains In the west and
he saw a good chance to give Frank a
severe test and examination. He ar
ranged with the boy's father and whea
Mr. McLaughlin left Omaha he was ac
companied by the young scout.
Out In the mountains, for two solid
weeks, Mr, McLaughlin put the boy
through the hardest tests possible. He

i a Ian pllmhot It Ha walked mile after
mile in the western forests, along streams,
through Underbrush,, and over mountains,
but try as he might he could not tire
the little fellow with him.
At .night it was Frank who. hutlt the
campftre. It was Frank who helped pick
out a suitable place for camp.- Frank It
was, who helped get the meals, collected
the fuel, and helped bag the game. Frank
was the first one to sleep at flight and
when Mr. McLaughlin arose In the morn
ing he did so to find his little partner
already dressed and busy with the camp
fire. .
When they came back to town, Frank
was Immediately given examinations In
the Meyer signal code, which he passed
Managing An Acquirum
The little fishes in an aquarium need)
oxygen almost as much as the boys and
girls do. Oxygen is what we breathe in
the air, but the little fishes need It in
the water, too. Some people used to
think that It was necessary to change the
water In the aquarium almost every day.
so that the finny Inhabitants might get
this change of air. But the proper way
Is not to take water out and put In fresh,
but to refreshen the original supply, or
to provide a motion 'so that the' "old"'
water will come into contact with the
air and absorb a large supply of oxygen.
Fish that are placed In boiled water,
which contains no oxygen, die In a few
moments."
A large supply of plants will help to
keep the water clear and the fish healthy.
A trip t6 any little brook or lake in the
country will give the young owner of an
aquarium a chance to procure some of
these plants, or they may be purchased
in the city at a small price. Suppose a
boy or girl has received a new aquarium
and proposes to keep fish in it. this
summer, or In the fall. The first step
then Is to get some good soil, preferably
clean river sand, but not that from the
ocean, and to put it at the bottom of the
aquarium, to act as a bed for the plants.
Then It Is a good plan to cover the soil
with bits of rock or pebbles, or anything
eisa that may add to its beauty, but
never put In any salt-water shells, or
artificial objects or vegetation that might
decay. After a couple ot weeks the aqua
rlum will be ready for the fish, and they
will have a splendid home. The water
must be put In carefully, so as not to
disturb the soil or the roots ot the plants.
Small fish, like minnows and the fa
miliar goldfish are Best for the email
home aquarium, but there should be only
a limited number. If the aquarium Is
overstocked, come ot the. fish will die.

through with flying colors. He swam
the required fifty yards. He ran a mils
)n eight minutes at scout pace, and came
back as fresh as when he started. He
exhibited remarkable knowledge In tho
first aid to the Injured. After passing all
examinations ha was made a first-class
scout and the first lieutenant of Scout
Master McLaushlin.
Frank is planning an encampment fcr
his patrol this summer, but has not se
lected a suitable site as yet. In the rear
of Campbell's house Is a tarn. Fiank
has erected quite a workshop here and
manufactures all kinds of wooden imple
ments and articles of furniture which lit
sells to a'l his boy friends, and he ha
worked up quite a traae.
Mr. McLaughlin Is high In his praise
of the work of his protege and says ho Is
the best boy scout In Omaha and a leade.
aniong them.
FRANK CAMPBELL.
In fact, little fishes of this kind are like
boys and girls they become HI if .not
properly taken care of. Indeed, if any
little tenant shows signs of poor health
the young owner of the aquarium should
provide new quarters or a hospital for
htm, till he recovers. Any pet which
becomes sick will regain Its health quick
est when placed by Itself. Some varie
ties of fresh water snails are good to
have In an aquarium, but usually they
are very hungry and devour the plants,
which are really better for the fish than
the snails.
Of course, to do all these things re
quires a kit ot special home-made tools.
so that the fish may be handled without
harm. These tools, however, can easily
be made by a boy or girl sufficiently In
tersted to keep the aquarium In good
order all the year round. A small hand
net rsn ta easily devised, while a pair
n( wooden pincers, glass tubes ot various
sixes and a piece ot rubber pipe for a
syphon, along with a syringe or anything
else that will squirt water or help to put
air Into the water, comprise a good
equipment, that will serve for all pur
poses. Geneially a green film gathers on
the side of the aquarium, which receives
the most light, and this should be cleaned
away every day with a small sponge at
tached to a stick. . K the scum Is allowed
to gather, after a while .it' will be very
difficult to get off.
The keeping of an aquarium Is very
Interesting tor every boy and girl, but
It requires dally attention . and care.
The water mutt be kept cod end .clean
and the fish closely watched to tee that
they are given suitable quarters. But In
spite of this work, managing an aquarium
It a most Interesting pastime and fully
repays the young owner for whatever
time Is spent on It.
