GIVES WIDOW FIRST (HWCE Louisiana Man Has “Lil Houseboat” —Wai ts Wife. In a southern exchange, the Abbeville (La.) Meridional, we find the following proposal of marriage received by a young widow of that community, presumably a clerk or waitress in a case. The fact that she permitted the letter to be published loks as tho she had spurned the alluring offer, and so there may be a chance for some girl of this community to become mistress of that nice “lil houseboat”, floating lazily on the smooth sunny waters of that Louisiana bayou. “ Arnaudville, La. Some time ago a ««« * case store. I find you so pretty that I tell myself I was gone try and get me one wife just like you. I not rich but I got one lil house boat. Taint big room, place so stove so cook, table to eat and bed to sleep. All is miss now is one wife to keep lil houseboat nice.

BOY SCOUTS HELP TAME WILD TRIBE Kavall, Madras Presidency, India. Jan. 10.—Under the direction of the British Indian Government American Baptist missionaries are adapting occidental methods in educating and otherwise making good citizens of one of the so called criminal tribes of India. This tribe, known as the Erukalas, is made up of what in another country could bo called gypsies or brigands and has been rounded up by the government into this region. The “wild” men and women of the tribe are being taught to work, and the boys and girls of the tribe are put in school with other children of this place. The “criminals,” as they are called, number two-thirds of the enrollment in the school. Exhibitions from time to time of the work of the pupils brought out a procession of the Erukalas, and the sight of one of their children reciting in a class was a source of intense pleasure. So responsive have the Erukala boys proven that a pageant was given recently dealing with the Great War. Several government officials who were present at the pageant were surprised at the discipline. Discipline has been aided by the Introduction of the Boy Scout movement. The Head Master of the Kavali School first took the training in Madras, and then he put some twenty of the boy» through the training The administering of tho Scout's oath and the presentation or staves and scout handkerchiefs was an unique event and was attended by several officials. This is the only troop In the Madras Presidency that has boys from the criminal tribes Id it
