UNGUlDED SCOUT ZEAL.

A number of youthful grafters are a
broad, we are informed. Their way of
grating is as follows: They collect mon
ey from citizens for the purpose of furth-
eringa a boy scout movement. Then a
numder of the young hopefuls stay out
of school and camp in the woods as Eye
old time Kit Carson scouts" until the
shades of night are falling, then hike
for home and warm supper. This kind
of scout movement is in the wrong
direction. If it happens again we are
informed that Officer Craigen will do a
little scouting after the boy scouts
Neche Chronotype.
The above item ought to be hint to
the Neche parents that unless some re-
sponsible persons take hold of the situa-
ton there is likely to be good deal of
scout movement sin the wrong direction"
IN and about Neche. The scout move
ment is designed to teach strict honor
and obedience among boys. The affair
at Neche grew out of desire among
the boys to have something like other
boys have, and there evidently was no
.manin Neche interested enough to offer
assistance OF counsel. Instead Of send.
ing the marshal after the boys, it would
be much better to send him with them
if he is right kind Of man, otherwise
find q proper person to take the lead:
Then Neche will not be troubled with
exit Carson scouts, and school boys
playing trusnt. Real boy scouts don't
graft, beg or solicit funds, They pay
their way and endeavor to earn and save
money. Their business Is to do favor
wherever they can, and get pleasure out
of 1t. Neche nor any other town has
anything to fear from properly organ
lied and well-managed patrol Of boy
scouts, and the best way to get rid Of
the counterfeit is to encourage the gen..
ulne.-Crystal Call.

POPULAR EDITION or LAWS.

During recent years a popular edition
Of the session laws, selling at dollar q
copy, has been published shortly after
the close Of the legislative session.
These popular editions have been used
largely sad have been Of great benefit to
the public, bridging the period between
ths time tho laws went into effect and
the time the regular edition was avail
able. The last session Of the legisla-
turel lhowever, decided to copyright the
laws, and Mr.. Hoskins, who has issued
the popular edition in the past, was un-
able to print the laws because Of the
copyright Of the state. Now We are
obliged to wsit for several months until
the regular edition is printed and ready
for distribution. In the meantime the
public is supposed to obey laws, the pro-
visions Of which they are unable to learn
except by securing certified copies from
the secretary Of state at prohiditive
price. Down in Minnesota every paper
in the state is paid to publish the ses-
sion laws as soon as the legislature has
adjourned. This is an expensive meth
Cd, but it has its advantages over the
North Dakota way where q man is
charged withsknowledge Of the law but
unable: to- secure that knowledge for

Known for Benevolence to
Be Buried in Brooklyn.

The funeral Of Mrs. 6. 8. Cox, eighty
two years old, widow Of the famous
humanitarian statesman, Sunset" Cox,
and well known throughout the coun-
try for her benevolent work, was held
this afternoon at the residence, l40S

bers have been greatly benefited by the
unseltish efforts of Mrs. Cox ana her
illustrious husband.
Until a few weeks before her death
Mrs. Cox took an active interest in the
philanthropic projects which had en-
gagged her long life. So closely was her
life associated with that of her hus-
band that the consideration of one is
impossible without the other. From the
time of their marriage, soon after he
had graduated from Brown University
and she from Putnam Seminary, in lS4S,
Mrs. Cox took an active interest in his
labors.
She was of material assistance and
aid in the long and bitter political fights
which resulted in his election to Con-
gress from Ohio, and later from New
York Mr.. Cox had established the Life
Saving Service, and at his death his
widow carried on the work.
When the old Cox homo in New York
became surrounded by tall buildings
Mrs. Cox established a home in Wash
ington, where for a number of years
Fhe spent much time. Her sister, Mrs.
Ifardenbergh, who was her closest com
panicn in recent years, accompanied her
from one city to another.

CHILD WIFE. PLEADS
WITH JUDGE FOR
CUSTODY OF. BABY
Girl Who Married Chinaman
Says Marital Troubles
Are Ended.

I've stuck by my baby and you can't
take him away from me now" said
Mrs. Lula Moy, the siXteen-year-old
white girl who married Harold Moy, a
Pennsylvania avenue chop suey cook,
when Judge Callan, in the Juvenile
Court, threatened to place the child in
an institution.
Solbing bitterly, her face flushed with
angry fear. Moy's child-wife begged for
the custody of the baby, saying over
and over again that she and her hus-
band had made things up and were liy-
irg together. The Chinese, for the first
time shaken out of his stoical calm, af-
fccted strangely by the emotion of the
girl, told Judge Callan he would furnish
his family n home in a good neighbor-
hood and take care of them.
I'll do anything she wants to do, ~
he said; ''just what she wants she shall
have, and the baby will be taken care
of, too"
Given Time to Locate.
The court gave Moy until Friday noon
to get settled IN a suita BILE home. The
Cese was nominally continued until
then. and Moy and his wife and George
father of the girl. left the court room
chatting in the friendliest way. When
the case came up on a non-support war
rant sworn by the girl. Mcy seemed de-
termined to fight it, and goE a continu-
ance SO he could collect evidence.
But the day after the first hearing
Chinese friends of Moy went to the girl
and got her to aEre9 to a reconciliation
She consented, and went back to the
chop suey artist. But he made her
sleep on the floor OF the restaurant
one night and they had another
quarrel Tweive hours later their turbu-
lent domestic affairs were Strengthened
out again, and when they :eaChed the
Juvenile Court yesterday 1t was Moy
who was carrying the baby. Mrs. Moy
was deTlurely leaning upon his arm.
apparently perfectly satisfied.
Wanted Case Dismissed
They Immediately told the court that
everything had been fixed up and that
they wanted the case dismissed. Judge
Callan handed them a jolt by telling
them he intended to hear the case and
10 have the custody of the eleven
months-old Chinese-American baby.
He found out that they had been
living at the Merchants Hotel, Penn
sylvania avenue near Fifth street north
west Judge Callan called Harrington
to the stand and asked him why he
did not take his daughter and her fam
fly to his home. Harrington said he had
no room, and that they would have to
take care OF themselves, so the court told
them he would give them three days to
get into a respectable neighborhood.
