Richmond, Indiana, will lecture on Abraham
Lincoln March 18th This lecture is based
upon Dr. Cathell's personal experiences when
child with Mr.. Lincoln. A Pittsburg, Pa,
paper says of the delivery of this lecture in
that city: For over two hours our audience,
one of the most critical in the country, was
thrilled and entertained by DR.. Cathell's re-
markedly human story of the lights and shad-
ows in the life of the great emancipation. 1t
was the best Lincoln lecture ever heard in
Pittsburg"

THE Boy SCOUTS. The boys interested in the
Boy Scouts movement met last Friday after
noon in the North church, and had their first
lesson in the requirements necessary before
they can take the Boy Scouts oath. Each boy
must know how to tie four different kinds of
knots with rope, be able to tell something of
the history of the American Flag, has to
know the Scout laws and it is necessary to
pass an examination in these things before he
can take the oath. The boys were instructed
In this and will meet next Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock in the vestry of the North church
to complete their organization. The boys who
pass will be permitted to take the Scouts oath
and be assigned to patrol. The Scouts have
nine laws, as follows:
L. Scouts honor is to be trusted
z. Scout is loyal to the President to his
officers, to his parents and to his employers.
3. Scouts duty is to be useful and to help
others.
4. Scout is friend to all and brother to
every other Scout.
b. A Scout is courteous.
6. A Scout is friend to animals
7. A Scout obeys orders of his parents,
patrol leader, or scoutmaster without question
8. A Scout smiles and looks pleasant under
all circumstances.
9. A Scout is thrifty.
The 20 boys who are members of the
Junior organization Of the Boy Scouts,
will meet tomorrow. Friday afternoon at
$50 o'clock to talk over the question of
their uniforms. They have already organized
two patrols, the Fox and the Wild Boar. Eu-
gene Cannon is patrol leader of the Fox patrol
with Vaughan Hayes as corporal, and Ralph
Clifford is patrol leader of the Wild Boar pa
troll, with John Durham as corporal. The boys
are greatly interested in the work, and the
younger ones, from 10 to IL years, are working
as hard as the boys of the regular order, whose
ages run from IL to 16 years.
1t is said that one can learn by their mis-
takes. We believe this is true It has also
been said that Perry made mistake when he
put the price of meat down in Belfast b,t
