lecture the speaker had failed to ap-
pear Therefore the committee sent to
Los Angeles for a lecturer, who came.
Then, just a few minutes before the
time came, the scout put in his ap-
pearance. He failed to give any rea-
son for his tardiness. as he did not
regard ii in that manner He said that
as long as he has been known in pub

always made it a rule to be punctual.
The captain told a few actual ex-
periences of his life and read some of
his own poems.
