14312	Can any law be more clearly enunciated, can anything be more definite and more absolute than this?
14312	Do I not recognize the fact that the moment I judge my fellow- man, by that very act I judge myself?
14312	Do we at times fail in obtaining the results we desire?
14312	For what, let us ask, is a Christian,--the real, not merely in name?
14312	For what, let us ask, is a miracle?
14312	Has not one been on account of a belief in a future life for man, but not for the animal?
14312	Have we it within our power to determine at all times what types of habits shall take form in our lives?
14312	Have you sorrows or trials that seem very heavy to bear?
14312	Have you this greatest thing?
14312	Heredity and its attendant circumstances and influences?
14312	Hollow the life?
14312	How attain to its realization?
14312	How call it into a dominating activity?
14312	How can I attain to a true and lasting greatness?
14312	How can I know the true secret of power?
14312	How can I make life yield its fullest and best?
14312	How, then, does it manifest itself?
14312	I have heard it asked, If one has n''t it to any marked degree naturally, what is to be done?
14312	If, then, life be thus founded, can there possibly be any greater incentive to that self- development that brings one up to his highest possibilities?
14312	In kindliness, in helpfulness, in service, to those around you?
14312	In other words, is habit- forming, character- building, a matter of mere chance, or have we it within our own control?
14312	In the very remote history of the race there was one who, violating a great law, having wronged a brother, asked,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
14312	Is it low, devoid of beauty?
14312	Is it your ambition to become a great_ writer?_ Very good.
14312	Is it your ambition to become great in any particular field, to attain to fame and honor, and thereby to happiness and contentment?
14312	Is it your ambition, for example, to become a great_ orator_, to move great masses of men, to receive their praise, their plaudits?
14312	Is it your desire then, to be numbered among his followers, to bear that blessed name, the name"Christian"?
14312	Is not Christianity, you ask, greater or more important?
14312	Is the life high, beautiful?
14312	Is there any comparison between the appellation"Lady Bountiful"and"a proud, selfish, pleasure- seeking woman"?
14312	It costs the giver comparatively nothing; but who can tell the priceless value to him who receives it?
14312	It is but another way of asking that great question that has come through all the ages-- What is the_ summum bonum_ in life?
14312	Know ye not that the kingdom of heaven is within you?
14312	Know ye not that the kingdom of heaven is within you?"
14312	May not this power, then, be used for base as well as for good purposes, for selfish as well as for unselfish ends?
14312	Nay, on the other hand, should this not be the greatest reason why we should all the more zealously care for, protect, and kindly treat them?
14312	No wonder the cry has gone out again and again from many a human soul, Is life worth the living?
14312	Now, do you wonder at his power, his inspiration, his abundance of all things?
14312	Or when saw we_ thee_ sick, or in prison, and came unto_ thee_?
14312	Our aim at the outset, you will remember, was to find answer to the question-- How can I make life yield its fullest and best?
14312	Shall we notice another concrete case?
14312	Shall we now give attention to some two or three concrete cases?
14312	Should this, however, be a reason why they should be neglected and cruelly treated?
14312	THE APPLICATION Are you seeking for greatness, O brother of mine, As the full, fleeting seasons and years glide away?
14312	THE PRINCIPLE Would you find that wonderful life supernal, That life so abounding, so rich, and so free?
14312	The Master, after all have gone, turns to the woman, his sister, and kindly and gently says,"And where are thine accusers?
14312	The question is not, What are the conditions in our lives?
14312	The question naturally arising at the outset is, Who, what is God?
14312	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we_ thee_ an hungered, and fed_ thee_?
14312	Thoughts upon self?
14312	To himself?
14312	To others?
14312	True it is, then, not, What are the conditions in one''s life?
14312	Upon others?
14312	What do they say?
14312	What do they think?
14312	What then must man be, if that which tells us is true?
14312	What then, again let us ask, is love to God?
14312	What would people, what would my friends, think and say?
14312	What, however, can be expected of them when we take the attitude we at present hold toward them?
14312	What, shall we ask, is the place, what the value, of prayer?
14312	When saw we_ thee_ a stranger, and took_ thee_ in?
14312	Where in all the world''s history is to be found a more beautiful or valuable incident than this?
14312	Where is the man''s safety in the light of what we have been considering?
14312	Who can estimate the influence of a life such as this?
14312	Why is this?
14312	Would you have them go with greater power, and thus be more effective?
14312	Would you have them more effective, each one filled with a living power?
14312	Would you write more?
14312	but, How do we meet the conditions that we find there?
14312	but, How does he meet the conditions that he finds there?
14312	doth no man condemn thee?"
14312	how can I attain to true greatness?
14312	how can I know the true secret of power?
14312	or naked, and clothed_ thee_?
14312	or still more, may it not be the means of lessening another''s sense of self- dependence, and thus may it not at times do more harm than good?
14312	or thirsty, and gave_ thee_ drink?
14312	who can tell where it may end?
455	Are ye able to drink of the cup?
455	Can I get the lecture in book form?
455	How long have you worked here?
455	I born in this city? 455 Is he a human being?"
455	Is n''t it good to be here? 455 Is not she the limit?"
455	Is not this Babylon that I have builded?
455	Is not this the carpenter''s son?
455	Kind sir, why are they throwing that red mud out of that hole?

455	Almost every day as I go along the street to some hall to lecture, I hear somebody asking,"What are they going to have in the hall tonight?"

455	Is n''t it great to have friends and a fine home and money?"
455	Is there a groceryman in the audience?

14679	If a man love not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen?
14679	New graces ever gaining:--did you gain any grace at all last Sunday-- or would this week have been exactly the same if Sunday had been wiped out?
14679	No; but they do n''t require entertaining before breakfast, do they?

14679	What time did you go to bed?
14679	Where shall we spend the holidays?
14679	Yes, I could keep up my reading, but how about the grammar?
14679	[ 2]But surely I had better do more than one subject in a day?
14679	[ 8] Do you feel that this is very tall talk for quiet lives like yours and mine? 14679 ''Could ye not watch with Me one hour?'' 14679 ''Will ye also go away?'' 14679 And can we dare to put our hand to this plough while neglecting our own training? 14679 And if we know that we are selfish in the matter,--what then? 14679 Another test you should apply to Friendship is, does it lead to idle words? 14679 Are there no old people you could amuse in some way,--possibly with whist? 14679 Are these words too solemn to use, after suggestions on talk which may seem to you to have been occupied with very petty and ignoble details? 14679 Are we to feel absolved from responding to His demand because old Jewish ways have vanished? 14679 Are you learning its lessons, or are you fretting for a remove? 14679 Are you prompt and alert in your movements, or do you indulge in that exasperating slowness, which some girls seem to consider quite a charm? 14679 Are you ready for real work? 14679 Are you to shut your eyes to the new lights, and be as though you had never known them? 14679 Are you, then, to reject all suggestions of a sensible marriage with any man who is not Prince Perfect? 14679 Are your books, and your self- discipline, and your time- table, only a hindrance to this? 14679 But apart from wrong talk, what sort of silly talk are you likely to be infected with at school? 14679 But are you to fritter away the time between this and then? 14679 But can you help being sentimental if you are made like that? 14679 But supposing I granted, for the sake of argument, that the original debt was on your parents''side and not on yours, what then? 14679 But to come at last to Solomon''s ideal-- what is our first impression of her? 14679 But what do you do after breakfast?
14679	Can you take criticism or contradiction with a perfectly unruffled face and voice?
14679	Do you give your mother a share in your interests?
14679	Do you make your father forget his bothers when he comes in from his business?
14679	Do you say, he was a poet, and Beatrice was one of the most famous of all Fair Women, and therefore they are no guide for you?
14679	Do you soak yourself enough in good thoughts to be more soothed and peaceful than you were on Saturday?
14679	Do you think it is easy to listen-- that it means mere silence?
14679	Do you think these things do not matter?
14679	Do you wait till the last minute, and then leisurely put on your things, with serene unconsciousness of the fret it is to every one''s temper?
14679	Do you want to help others to go right in life?
14679	Does your brother look forward to his time at home, instead of thinking it a bore?
14679	Had you better make your plan, and begin at once?
14679	Have I started, or handed on, spiteful remarks?"
14679	Have I tried to get cheap credit for wit, by sharp speeches,_ would- be_ clever criticism and pulling people to pieces?
14679	Have any of you the lurking thought,"I was born by no choice of my own: those who brought me into the world owe duty to me, not I to them?"
14679	Have the suggestions_ I_ made and the Resolutions_ we_ made, soaked into our lives and altered the stuff of which we are made?
14679	Have you definite duties, which you stick to even though they bore you,_ e.g._, house duties, or reading aloud, or lessons with the younger ones?
14679	Have you ever thought what education was to do for you, or, are you learning your lessons, day by day, just because they are set?
14679	How can you live a noble life?
14679	How is this home difficulty met?
14679	How long have you been at school, each of you?
14679	How many of you feel quite guiltless on this score?
14679	How many times have we come together here, and thought over together, point after point, the things that really matter to us?
14679	How many women keep their menkind back from public duty by their fretfulness about the inconveniences entailed on themselves?
14679	How much of it sets all harmony and rhythm at defiance?
14679	How much of our home life is set to music?
14679	How?
14679	If a fairy godmother offered you one gift, what would you choose?
14679	If they themselves do care and yet try to seem careless, are they not responsible for half the carelessness in those about them?
14679	If you like, use another question, and ask yourself,"Was I like S. Theresa,''An Advocate of the Absent''?"
14679	If_ she_ does not mind about her dignity, why should_ he_?
14679	Is it a cooling fountain to you?
14679	Is it not to learn to fit into your home?
14679	Is it simply that we should be uncomfortable?
14679	Is not every right and wise piece of good work for others an attempt to help them to train themselves to live a higher life?
14679	Is not this very necessity in home life-- this"I must"--just the thing which makes it akin to our Lord''s life?
14679	Is not trustworthiness a main point in those we respect?
14679	Is she learning God''s lesson, and fitting herself for the still nobler life He wants to give her?
14679	Is there not in that Holiest Life a continual undercurrent of"I must"?
14679	It never occurs to the daughter that she sinned six times( or even shall we say eight or ten?
14679	May I suggest some thoughts for self- examination on the matter?
14679	Must you starve either head or heart?
14679	Need this be?
14679	No; he is rather saying,"How can you think that our Father values, not the lilies, but only the fact of their growing on this or that bit of earth?"
14679	Now, does your way of talking bring out the best side of yourself and of those you talk to?
14679	Now, how will such general lessons help you in after- life?
14679	Now, is it good or bad for girls to have a strong feeling of this kind for their school?
14679	Now, what plan of life should you have?
14679	Of course she does; if not, what good would school have done her?
14679	On which side do your words go-- talk or chatter?
14679	One good question to put daily to yourself is,"How much of my talk to- day was for myself, and against others?
14679	Or ask,"Have I, by my way of speaking_ or listening_, lowered any one''s standard to- day?"
14679	Ought not the trifling duties to be fuel to her burning desire for her nobleness of life, instead of dust to choke it?
14679	PREFACE What_ is_ the awkward age?
14679	Purity and Reverence are the two main things in talk, but how about Sense?
14679	Purity, truth, and love, Are they such common things?
14679	Retreats and Rest- cures are nowadays found to be imperatively necessary; but are not both symptoms of something over- wrought in our system?
14679	Saying those things makes the wheels of life''s chariot run smoothly,--we think them, why are we so slow to say them?
14679	Shall this be the result of your school learning?
14679	So many often say, or feel,"It''s not my duty to do this or that; why should I?
14679	So much for Prayer, our duty to God, and for Alms, our duty to our neighbour; how about Fasting, our duty to ourself?
14679	That she has had this or that pleasure-- that she has riches or poverty-- that she is married or lonely, that she married the right man or the wrong?
14679	The best test of whether your love for an outside person is of the right kind, is, does it make you pleasanter at home?
14679	The true lady says,"_ Somebody_ must do the dirty work, and why not I as well as another?"
14679	There may be girls like yourself living near you who have less; could you not start some sensible reading together?

14679	What man has not got poetry in him, waiting for the woman he loves to wake it?
14679	What matters is, whether she is growing more and more into tune with the Infinite?
14679	Why can not a girl welcome some tiresome commission or fidgeting rule of her mother''s, as much as if it were imposed by some Mother Superior?
14679	Why can not you seem outwardly at leisure, and yet live an inner life of thought and work?
14679	Why is home not felt to be a vocation?
14679	Why should she restrain her love of fun, her Tomboyism, her tendency to flirtation?
14679	Why should"the privilege of a friend"be synonymous with a cutting remark?
14679	Why were you born?
14679	Would it not be a pity to let your mind keep running on the very things from which you have come away?
14679	Would it not be well for some if they tried, as Miss Wordsworth suggests, the effect of keeping one Sunday in the week?
14679	_ Alms_.--What proportion of your money do you give away?
14679	and, equally, if he love not his brother close at hand, how can he love brethren afar off?
14679	did you seriously think over where you were unlike Him and where you could be more like Him in the coming week?
14679	it''s just as much_ her_ business,--why should n''t_ she_ do the dirty work?"
6168	After you have written three or four words, you can put them together, can you not?
6168	All of them?
6168	And is that what you call justice?
6168	And is this the great, beautiful, happy world that I have been told about?
6168	And then will you give me more?
6168	And what can you do, Aesop?
6168	And whose sheep are these?
6168	Are you lately from Italy?
6168	Are you the Bruce, and are you all alone?

34200	His mother was speaking to a lady on the seat behind, and when the child was asked,"What is the matter?"
34200	How came you here?

34200	It is so that we may think of what we are saying; if we kept them open, we should be thinking of what we were= seeing= instead, should we not?
34200	It is the same with clumsy people-- they forget to take care?
34200	It was not a great thing to promise, was it?
34200	Just then mamma came up and said:"Have you finished, children?
34200	Little child with eyes so blue, What has mother done for you?

34200	One day, as they sat on a mossy bank in the Fairy wood,"Selfless"asked,"What shall we do next, sister?"

34200	Then he determined to turn back, and try to reach the road, but where are his footprints?
34200	Then he said in a loud voice,"Well, mother, how''s your head?"
34200	Then he stopped to think for a minute, and looked at the rag as much as to say:"What shall I do with you next"?

6655	Are you going to try for it, Tom?
6655	Back to Bennett''s? 6655 But would it be a new one?"
6655	Ca n''t do it, eh?
6655	Ca n''t yer leave him go just this time?
6655	Ca n''t you see wot they''re a- doin''?
6655	Can I have my book?
6655	Can he answer?
6655	Can you beat it?
6655	Can you beat that valley for signalling? 6655 Can you beat the Snail Patrol?"
6655	Can you jump that hedge?
6655	Certainly; what for?
6655	Chucked?
6655	Come along, Tom,said the policeman;"in trouble again, eh?"
6655	Come on, you''re not in a hurry to get home, are you? 6655 Could n''t I give it to Mary?"
6655	Could n''t yer leave him come over jist till I make him a cup o''coffee?
6655	Cross your heart?
6655	D''yer see wot yer done?
6655	D''yer see wot yer done?
6655	Did I tell you it was a new one?
6655	Did he show you the Indian moccasins Julia made for him?
6655	Did they send you?
6655	Did you ever take a squint at that Handbook of his, Chief?
6655	Did you ever taste any of his biscuits?
6655	Did you notice how he said he was obeying the law?
6655	Did you notice, Chief( he often called the scoutmaster chief)"how he kept saying,''I am a scout''?"
6655	Did you_ ever_ in_ all_ your_ life_ know anything so perfectly extraordinary?
6655	Do I have ter be loyal ter him?
6655	Do I have to get arrested?
6655	Do I have to obey that one?
6655	Do about it?
6655	Do n''t you think those O''Connor boys would be better out here?
6655	Do you give your approval to everything?
6655	Do you know what I''m going to do with you?
6655	Do you know,said the capitalist, in a towering rage,"that this boy hurled a stone at me only a week ago?"
6655	Do you throw them at animals?
6655	Do you_ have_ to know?
6655	Does it mean anything?
6655	Don''de wind git on ye?
6655	Ever go scout''s pace?
6655	Excuse me, did you come from Bennett''s in Bridgeboro?
6655	Good,said the young man;"you have some ideas about sporting, have n''t you?
6655	Got something you want to say?
6655	Got the linen thread?
6655	Guess we did n''t swap names, did we?
6655	Has he made satisfactory proof of the tests?
6655	Have his parents been notified?
6655	Have n''t given up hope yet?
6655	Have you got a rope over there?
6655	Have you got him?
6655	He came, just as you----Oh, where is he?
6655	He wouldn'', wouldn''he? 6655 He''s a rich guy, ai n''t he?"
6655	He-- he wo n''t die-- will he?
6655	Hey, Tommy?
6655	Hmmm; ye got a young feller here by th''name o''Slade?
6655	How do you know what I took and what I tossed back?
6655	How do you know?
6655	How do you make those?
6655	How say you? 6655 How''s the Russian advance?"
6655	How''s the state of your constitution?
6655	I do not doubt it; and what are we going to do about it?
6655	I landed you, did n''t I?
6655	I s''pose if we was to search ye we would n''t find nothin''on ye t''should n''t be thar?
6655	I-- to blame?
6655	In a car?
6655	Is Camp Solitaire all right?
6655	Is he alive or dead?
6655	Is he dead, Tom?
6655	Is he worthy to be a member of our Troop?
6655	Is this it?
6655	Just caught the truth by the tail that time, did n''t you?
6655	Killed?
6655	Let''s see, what was I going to ask you? 6655 Like the Duke of Yorkshire, hey?
6655	Look up there, Mrs. Bennett-- see that nest? 6655 Mary thinks you snubbed her, Tom; why did n''t you speak to her?"
6655	Me? 6655 Na- ah, tick- tacks is out o''date,""Cord ter trip''em up?"
6655	No, we haven''t--"Got a shawl or a blanket?
6655	No-- really?
6655	No; the boys are boss; anything we can do for you?
6655	No?
6655	Nothing doing?
6655	Now Tom,said the Scoutmaster,"you and I are going to have a little pow- wow-- you know what a pow- wow is?
6655	O''Brien?
6655	Oh, Tom,said Mr. Ellsworth, his voice almost breaking,"is that all you have to say-- Tom?"
6655	Oh, are you the boss o''them regiment fellers?
6655	Oh, could n''t I, though?
6655	R. V., is n''t it?
6655	Re- what?
6655	Regular Carnegie Library, eh? 6655 Regular shark at it, is n''t he?"
6655	Shall I tell you what I''m going to say?
6655	Shall it be said that the Silver Foxes are not Sterling silver but only German silver?
6655	Shall the silver of the Silver Foxes be tarnished by that slanderous card?
6655	Sit down, wo n''t you? 6655 So?
6655	So? 6655 So?
6655	So?
6655	Some wrinkle, hey?
6655	Sure, we understand-- don''t we, Tom?
6655	Sure; did n''t yer see it?
6655	Tell him and spoil it fer him?
6655	Then if I took it out of the bank would it be the same bill?
6655	There,he added, handing back the coal,"that''s not so bad now; guess neither one of us is much of an artist, hey?
6655	They all have muskets, do they?
6655	This''ll be your first sleep outdoors, wo n''t it? 6655 Tick- tack?"
6655	Tom, is that you?
6655	Too bad his parents put him out, was n''t it?
6655	Too bad we had to sacrifice an innocent robin to find that out, was n''t it?
6655	Took what?
6655	Up?
6655	Veil, vot about him?
6655	Well then, was I lyin''?
6655	Well, Dan''s some boy, is n''t he? 6655 Well, anyway,"Roy said,"you can say you tossed it back, ca n''t you?"
6655	Well, then you think you would n''t like to kill Zulus, after all, hey?
6655	Well, you took it, did n''t you?
6655	Well,said Roy,"what can we do for you?"
6655	Westy? 6655 Wha''ose boss here?"
6655	Wha''ose runnin''the shebang?
6655	What are they all standing for?
6655	What are those?
6655	What are we going to catch, the three- thirty?
6655	What are you following me for?
6655	What are you going to do with that?
6655	What did I tell yer?
6655	What did she say?
6655	What do you mean by that?
6655	What do you think of Camp Solitaire?
6655	What do you think of the Eifel Tower?
6655	What for, Tom?
6655	What for?
6655	What for?
6655	What is it, Tom?
6655	What is that?
6655	What other thing?
6655	What pin?
6655	What right have_ you_ got to have rheumatism? 6655 What time did my mother say she''d be back?"
6655	What was it?
6655	What was that other thing she said?
6655	What was that other thing she said?
6655	What was that other thing she said?
6655	What were those signs I saw on the trees as I came?
6655	What''d you tell her?
6655	What''s a scout? 6655 What''s that shouting?"
6655	What''s that?
6655	What''s that?
6655	What''s that?
6655	What- what- did Mary say?
6655	What?
6655	When was that?
6655	When you was a kid?
6655	Where did Tom go?
6655	Where is it, do you suppose?
6655	Where is my boy?
6655	Where''ll I put the corner?
6655	Where''s Roy?
6655	Where''s his folks?
6655	Where''ve you got that, Tom?
6655	Which one is Westy?
6655	Who did you say was hurt?
6655	Who''s follerin''yer?
6655	Who''s he-- one o''your crowd?
6655	Who''s this fellow, Dan Dreadnought?
6655	Who''s up dere?
6655	Whom have you here?
6655	Why do n''t you eat a little something, Chief?
6655	Will you ever forget how he looked as he stood there? 6655 Will you promise to throw it back?"
6655	Will you promise to toss it back?
6655	Will you-- will you-- see my mother?
6655	Wop Joe''s around de corner wid his pushcart? 6655 Word and honor?"
6655	Wot are they doin''?
6655	Would he have two blankets over him at night?
6655	Would it pass for Test Eight?
6655	Would you take anything for a service?
6655	Wouldn''yer leave me pull my strap up?
6655	Ya''ou the boss here?
6655	Ya''ou the boss?
6655	Ye know a pin was missin''thar?
6655	Ye would n''t relish bein''searched, I reckon?
6655	Ye- re?
6655	Yer call me a liar, will ye?
6655	Yer live in de big house, don''cher?
6655	Yer mean ter tell me I''m lyin''?
6655	Yer one o''them soldier fellers, hey?
6655	Yer opened the winder, didn''yer?
6655	Yer think I''d steal?
6655	Yer want me ter hand ye one?
6655	Yer what?
6655	Yer wouldn''squeal on yer father, would yer, Tommy?
6655	Yer-- a-- a one o''them soldier lads, hey, Tommy?
6655	Yes? 6655 Yes?
6655	Yes?
6655	You are not the Slade boy?
6655	You bathed it with carbolic, did you?
6655	You could lift the earth by leverage if you only had some floor for your lever; ever hear that?
6655	You did?
6655	You do n''t call murder wholesome pleasure, do you?
6655	You do n''t wish to see him privately, I suppose?
6655	You drop that?
6655	You find this law good?
6655	You find this law good?
6655	You find this law good?
6655	You have n''t made another flank move on Connie Bennett, have you?
6655	You saw me coming?
6655	You take the temperature of the river?
6655	_ Do I?_said Tom.
6655	_ Would I?_"Now we''ll rustle down the hill and see the bunch co''me back-- if they do. 6655 A soldier, like?
6655	And do n''t forget page-- what was it?"
6655	And what does Dan do to pass the time?"
6655	And why?
6655	Another boy came out and said_ he_ could jump the gap without any rope at all; it was only seven feet, and what was the use of a rope anyway?
6655	Are n''t you, dearie?"
6655	Are we going fishing to- day?"
6655	Because he knew it was right?
6655	Bennett?"
6655	Bennett?"
6655	Better be sure than be sorry-- hey?
6655	But would his hope be borne out?
6655	CHAPTER VI HITTING THE BULL''S EYE What did Tom Slade do after the best night''s sleep he ever had?
6655	Can yer beat it?"
6655	Did you hear that one he sprang the other night about a''superficial abrasion''?
6655	Did you notice his mouth?
6655	Do you know that this boy''s father owes me money?"
6655	Do you pull much of a stroke with Machelsa, the Indian spirit?
6655	Do you s''pose Westy''s home yet?
6655	Do you still think Walter Harris is a turtle?
6655	Does he really?"
6655	Does n''t it beat all how Doc gets onto this medical talk?
6655	Ellsworth?"
6655	Ever hear of him?
6655	Ever up on the hill?"
6655	Feeding with intent to kill, hey?"
6655	Guess you must have seen this light from downtown, hey?"
6655	He tiptoed to the stairs and listened,"Molly, is that you?"
6655	How about that, Doc?"
6655	How many of these books are there, Connie?"
6655	How would you like to be a scout, Connie?"
6655	I like one bill better, do n''t you?"
6655	I would n''t be surprised if I was cashier in his bank in another six months- but do n''t mention it at camp fire, will you?"
6655	Is he dead?"
6655	Is this applicant familiar with the law?"
6655	Like it strong?
6655	Like that name, Connie?"
6655	May I lift these books off the chair, Connie?"
6655	Never thought what you were up against to- night, did you?
6655	No?
6655	No?
6655	Oh, cracky, do n''t you hope they do?"
6655	Oh, yes; how''d you get hunk on John Temple?"
6655	Perhaps I should have--""And you are under the impression that this field belongs to my secretary?"
6655	Really?"
6655	Schmitt?"
6655	See that scratch?"
6655	See?"
6655	Shall this go on?"
6655	Shut up, will you?"''
6655	Temple?"
6655	The Silver Fox patrol leader asked,"Do you promise to stand faithful to this emblem, and to these your brother scouts of the Silver Fox Patrol?"
6655	The boy laughed and asked,"What do you want the nickel for?"
6655	The question is, can you carry it?"
6655	Then raising his voice,"Someone drowned over there?"
6655	They played"Think of a Number,"and"Button, button, who''s got the button?"
6655	We''ll bring the sign up for a souvenir, what do you say?"
6655	Well, how about this boy?"
6655	What are they all about, Con?"
6655	What are we going to do?"
6655	What are you going to do?"
6655	What are_ you_ going to do?"
6655	What can I do for you?"
6655	What do you say?"
6655	What do you think?"
6655	What else_ can_ I do?
6655	What was it?"
6655	What''s that?"
6655	When I go into town I''ll put that five- spot in the bank for you, hey?"
6655	Where''s Roy?"
6655	Who stopped your runaway horse for you last week?"
6655	Why, Mrs. Bennett,"added the scoutmaster pleasantly,"you''ve hit the wrong trail--""I''ve what?"
6655	Will some gentleman in the audience kindly loan me a high hat and a ten- dollar gold piece?
6655	Will you be good enough to let me see your authority for the use of these grounds?"
6655	Would n''t you rather be here than at Conny''s party-- honest?"
6655	Would the Wizard Ellsworth indeed"get away with it,"and make a new man of poor, wretched Bill Slade?
6655	Yer do n''t do a thing but cop de car fer joy- rides-- didn''yer?"
6655	You know Westy Martin, do n''t you?
6655	You know we have troop calls and patrol calls and all sorts of calls, and we''ve got to be able to make them just right-- see?"
6655	You know what Buck Edwards said, do n''t you?
6655	You smoke, do n''t you?"
6655	[ Illustration:"CAN''T YOU SEE WHAT THEY''RE A- DOIN?"
6655	boys have got?"
6655	wot d''ye say we give him de spill?"
19432	As long as I steer clear of the law and avoid breaking my neck, what other consequences are there that I need to keep worrying about? 19432 But the first one of these seeds, or the first one of these trees-- who conceived and executed that?"
19432	But who conceived the plan of the trees and plants?
19432	But,say I,"are you sure you are not trying to befuddle me and befuddle yourself by the use of obscure words?
19432	But,say I,"what sublime intelligence conceived the plan of those machines, and what kind of sublimely skilful craftsman was able to fashion them?"
19432	But,some one objects,"how about your obligations to others?
19432	If this is the palpable intention and design of an all- wise Creator, how does it happen that so many human beings fail to carry out the purpose? 19432 Is that what is meant by soul and conscience and honor?
19432	Mother, where did I come from? 19432 What kind of punishment shall it be-- the fairest we can think of?
19432	What of that? 19432 Why should n''t I be a pleasure- seeker and a pleasure- lover?
19432	Why should n''t I go ahead and gratify all my impulses?
19432	A bird?
19432	A flower?
19432	A germ?
19432	A little scolding, perhaps, and a repetition of the warning and the promise?
19432	A spider?
19432	After all, looking at it from their point- of- view, and bearing in mind the freedom of the individual, why should n''t they?
19432	And after all, suppose he does happen to"get pinched,"what of it?
19432	And how do they do it?
19432	And what of the rôle of a father in this most vital of responsibilities?
19432	And who made all these other people?
19432	And who''s really to blame?
19432	Are n''t you just a little bit ashamed of what you did to Delia?"
19432	Are these other things more important than the welfare of their children?
19432	Are they exercised to the same extent?
19432	Are things going on indefinitely, this way,--or more so?
19432	As I was not concerned in it, I can not be held accountable, so what difference does it make to me?
19432	As a matter of fact, how severe and accurate a test have either of those devotions been submitted to?
19432	As far as his own experience is concerned, where is the reason for him to deny his impulse?
19432	As for the danger, who''s afraid of that?
19432	Because I happen to know that he was innocent, does that make the occurrence any less reasonable?
19432	Because certain individuals are born blind or deaf, does that imply that mankind was not designed to see or hear?
19432	Because certain individuals, through the effects of disease or abuse, lose their sight, does that disprove a purpose for the eye?
19432	Between these two contradictory principles, even if she has the best intentions in the world, what is she to do?
19432	But as this also is no haven of refuge for the vague feelings of faith and aspiration, where are they to go?
19432	But even so, and admitting what is apparently obvious, how could any amount of reasoning arrive at a decision in the matter?
19432	But even so, how could they come to do such a thing?
19432	But how about the feelings of admiration and enthusiasm which works of such great beauty were intended to inspire?
19432	But if you believe in doing what you feel like and the doctor is out of the way, why not have your beef- steak?
19432	But might n''t it be counted in your favor-- over there?
19432	But suppose it might be that after death their spirits could live on, in an unknown world?
19432	But what of the Jake, in this case-- the prime factor of the problem?
19432	But what of the children?
19432	Do n''t modern mothers love their children?
19432	Do n''t you know in your heart that this would be wrong-- very wrong?
19432	Do not the divorce courts and remarriages and scattered children and the talk and acts of emancipated women give ample evidence of it?
19432	Do we measure the achievements of a Napoleon, an Alexander, a Washington, by the manner of their decline and death?
19432	Does any one claim, or imagine, that school- books contain much nourishment for the heart and soul, or the moral feelings, or love of beauty?
19432	Does father have to know about that, yet?"
19432	Does he work any harder than I do?
19432	Does it make any difference to him whether he breaks a promise-- to his mother and father?
19432	Does not each individual feel moved to accomplish something beyond the mere continuation of life?
19432	Does not that same observation apply to the general and to all other individuals, high or low?
19432	Does she wish them to be liars and cheats and ingrates, dissipated and corrupt, if by so doing they can have most pleasure and satisfy themselves?
19432	Even if she has a little pinch of the heart at the thought of subjecting her sensitive boy to such an ordeal, how can she dare to do otherwise?
19432	For her sake?
19432	Has man really a soul, at all?
19432	Has my life any purpose in the great, everlasting scheme of things?
19432	Has not this sentiment something in it which is quite apart from self- interest, or reason, or the impulses of affection?
19432	Has scientific thought discovered, or devised, any means of increasing the warmth and tenderness of the human heart?
19432	Has the rule of reason made husbands and wives any more devoted to each other, or to their friends?
19432	Has your wife''s devotion been subjected to a corresponding test?
19432	How are they going?
19432	How are you going to make people less selfish and more considerate of others?
19432	How could he be bringing so many presents to so many people, all over the world, and delivering them personally, on the same Christmas eve?
19432	How could they get it?
19432	How do the roots and the leaves and the sap ever contrive to convert these into perfume and blossoms and pulp and pigment?
19432	How does it always manage to get the necessary raw materials from the earth and the air?
19432	How does it happen that so many are relatively deficient, or totally unconscious of the feelings themselves?
19432	How does it operate?
19432	How does it work?
19432	How far will you get by telling them that the way they are going is immoral and sinful?
19432	How is he to do that, unless he is sent to school in time to be prepared?
19432	How many mothers are consistently striving to watch over every tender requirement of the heart feelings and soul feelings of their children?
19432	How much of a mother''s time is required for the right kind of care for her children?
19432	How will you pass through them?
19432	If I do n''t bring you up right-- isn''t it my fault?
19432	If not, who, or what, is to stop the movement and turn it in another direction?
19432	If other people are affected by what we do, and they have feelings of the same sort as ours, are not they, too, entitled to some consideration?
19432	If self- determination is the proper thing for each nation, should it not be an equally proper thing for each individual?
19432	If that is the way of love, why does n''t it apply to one, as well as the other?
19432	If the present condition is indeed an effect of modern science, either directly or indirectly, how can it fail to continue?
19432	If the world is supposed to be run by reason, and reason says the majority ought to rule, why should n''t each one of us have an equal share with him?
19432	If there is no other end in view for each and every one, but to live and die, what boots it?
19432	If there were no purpose at all to an individual life, what difference would it make whether he had a conscience or not?
19432	If we consider the results, where is the evidence of a constant betterment in man''s spiritual nature?
19432	If you are a boy and feel like it, why should n''t you?
19432	If you liked each other, why should n''t you?
19432	In all sorts of new experiences and questions of conduct, the thought comes spontaneously:"What will mother think about this?"
19432	In early childhood, where is it to get that tender, devoted love, if not from its mother?
19432	In such a case, when an order comes, what is, and ought to be, the purpose of each individual soldier composing the brigade?
19432	In the advanced stage of enlightenment at which we have arrived can any reasonable person fail to recognize this palpable truth?
19432	In the average family of to- day, how much thought, or time, is devoted to the observance of this essential principle?
19432	In this age of enlightenment, with all sorts of theories in the air, how is she to know the proper way of forming a fine character?
19432	In what part of his body is it located?
19432	Is he any better man?
19432	Is he not entitled to make all the money he can, in accordance with the laws?
19432	Is it good for the children?
19432	Is it possible that right here may be the main and underlying cause of the so- called"demoralization"of the present generation?
19432	Is it possible that you are still under the influence of an out- grown mediaeval superstition?
19432	Is it possible to doubt what sort of a legislature will be chosen?
19432	Is it simply that one breaks the law, while the other does not?
19432	Is it to be wondered at, if many a modern mother, in this predicament, vacillates between the two?
19432	Is n''t it?"
