During the early part of the evening there were several other visitors at the camp from this city who were likewise treated to a tin of coffee. Among the callers at the camp early in the evening were: Mrs. Jos. B. Williamson, Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Harry Strickland and her daughter, Harriett Dr. Larimore and wife, and Mrs. Stoner, and B. A. Sunderland and son, Gowdy.

At 9 o'clock the main campfire was replenished by the active scouts and then it was surrounded while the Scout Master told them an interesting story. The\ Scout camp song was sung and whistled and Prof. Bryant read from the New Testament the parable of the loaves and fishes and "lights out" tap!

the city. Promptly at 6 o'clock Thursday evening the Scouts, loaded to the guards with rations, blankets, etc., left the home of the Scout Master, headed by the flag bearer and four scouts, bringing up the rear with their cannon, which was taken to their camp. They attracted a great deal of attention as they marched down State street, and they arrived in camp an hour later, tired, hot and hungry, but entirely happy.

Camp fires were at once lighted, the main one being on the top of a great hill in the beech grove, near their shack, built of rails and four fires were at the outposts.

When evreything was in readiness, the cannon salute was fired and everything worked perfectly to the great delight of the Scouts. Each Scout cooked his supper, broiling his bacon and toasting the bread over the camp fire, and from the satisfaction beaming on their faces, one would judge that the choicest viands of home cooking would have been tasteless to them at that time. Scout Mastef Williamson prepared the coffee and dispensed it in the tin cups'carried by the Scouts. While the supper was in progress, the outpost guards to the southwest challenged a trespasser seen approaching the camp and led him into the glare of the camp fire at the point of a danger-ous-looking weapon. When taken before the Scout Master the trespasser proved to be a friend instead of an enemy, a lonely newspaper reporter bn the hunt for a lively story for his paper, who had been guided by the gleaming camp fires and smell of savory bacon and coffe^, of which he was invited to partake and the invitation was accepted.

were whistled. The night was divided into three watches, the first from 10 to 1 o'clock in charge of Corporal Dale Spencer and his Scouts, the second from 1 to 3, in charge of Corporal Larimore and his Scouts, and the last watch from 3 to 5, in charge of Corporal Irvin Steele and his Scouts.

Scout Master Williamson and Mr. Bryant divided the night into two watches. While the guards kept the fires replenished and brightly burning and watched for intruders

under the direction of the officers, S the Scouts rolled their blankets about them and lay down under the starry sky and spent the night very close to old mother earth. There were no complaints about hard or uncomfortable beds, the Scouts acI cepting any seeming hardships as a part of the true Scout life, and the pure fresh air was breathed deeply by them as they passed into dreamland, and everything became peaceful and. still, except for the

as the night advanced. There was no unusual disturbance during the night. The only enemies encountered by the guards being a yearling heifer and a big pig that became curious and were promptly and firmly invited out of the camp and responded with energy.

As early as 4 o'clock this morning, there was a stir in camp, as the leaders prepared the fires and utensils for boiling the rice and cooking the morning meal, and every Scout was up and busy at 5 o'clock, ready for the day's activities, of work, play and drilling.

They lead a vigorous life in camp but enjoy it, and are always ready for the next thing on the program. The newspaper reporter who was taken prisoner was given one of the softest patches of earth, under the branches of a beech tree to sleep on, and one of the Scouts shared his blanket with the prisoner, who was released at 4 o'clock, just as day was breaking and arrived in town before the sleepy citizens had thought of leaving their beds.

Support Scout Movement. (Scout Bulletin) Senators and Representatives of Congress are convinced that the Scout Movement is making better citizens. Many of them have expressed themselves enthusiastically concerning it. "The country," says Oscar W. Underwood, "cannot have too many young men of the kind that grow out of the Boy Scout discipline. Anything that cultivates self-reliance and tact at the same time that it improves a boy's powers of endurance, broadens his mental horizon and gives him new moral insight, is sure to be beneficial. I like the entire Boy Scout idea, and I hope the work will spread all over the country." "I feel a deep interest," says William Sulzer, of New York, "in the Boy Scout movement in this country, and think it is doing a great deal of good in getting the boys to take exercise and submit themselves to (jjscipline, which many of them would be deprived of .but for the opportunities offered,. ,3jcy the

Boy Scout organization."

In the Spiceland Sanitarium notes printed in the New Castle Times, is the following: "Robert D. Hay 1*3, a man of considerable avoirdupois, and a meat salesman, is here for a few days' heating and sweating. He wants full benefit and takes two hot baths ft day."
