the holy bonds of wedlock in the

Following the ceremony dinner

The happy bridal couple will
make their home on a ranch near

with this paper in wishing for
them all the joys of a long and

This wedding follows closely
that of Miss Stella Short and Mr..
Richard Berry. Another incident

Murder is Murder

NEW YoKK, Dec. 15.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has an editorial
article in the current issue of the
Outlook relating to the McNam-

Murder" The article says:
Not only laboring men. but
business men. capitalists. have at
times shown the worst form of
class consciousness-that of sim
ister and brutal class selhshness
in standing by criminals simply
because they were of their own
class. This has been done by
capitalists in the case of capital
lists who have been guilty of
brazen corruption. and by laborers
in the case of labor leaders who
have been guilty of murderous
violence. The two offenses stand
on a par from the standpoint of
damage to the community.

BOY SCOUTS
IN CONVICTION
Bad Weather Spoils the Pro-
gram of Days Work.
Were to Have Had Ma
neuvres at Old Landing.
Dined as Guests of Mr.. Le-
Blanc at Stag Hotel.
Seventy-five Members Of the
Scouts of Three Troops.

The boy scouts made their first
visit to Covington, last Saturday.
They were under the command of
Capt. w. R. Nourse, assisted by
Lieutenants Ellison, Kern, Laborde
and Roberts, and during the rain
took possession of the veranda of the
Southern Hotel. There were three
troops of them-A, B and C, and
they were evidently having good
time, in spite of the bad-weather
prospects, and INDUCED in friendly
scuffles and banteringly challenged
each other to tests of strength. Capt.
Nourse was busily engaged in solv-
ing the problem of how the seventy
five hungry mouths were to be fed,
which did not turn out to be such
weighty problem after the Captain
had seen Mr.. Patrick, of the Stag
Hotel. Arrangements were made
there for eighty covers, including
the scouts and guests and Mrs.
Alfred Leblanc and son Henry. The
order was given at II o'clock a. m.
and the dinner was served at 2 p.
m. 1t was heartily enjoyed, and at
It's conclusion three hearty cheers
were given for little Henry Leblanc,
who provided the dinner as host to
the scouts
In the meantime Lieut.. Ellison,
in charge of the scouts at the South
ern Hotel, which was undergoing re-
pairs and not open to guests, engag-
ed in conversation relative to the
object of organising the scouts and
the success the movement was meet
ing Mr. Ellison is very intelligent
and entertaining young man and is
much interested in his work. He is
one of the seven with the efficiency
to pass a first-class examination,
| which is by no means an easy &C
complishment. Among the require
ments is to know how to fell trees,
how to cook an eatable dinner, how
to build a shelter or habitation of
logs, how to ride horse, swim fifty
yards, and do many other things that
require practice and experience. He
| was anxious to have the Farmer
start a Scout Column" and organ
lie a troop for Cov'ngton, and per-
haps this may be done.
1t was the intention of the scouts
to do some work at the Old Land
ing, but the weather proved too bad,
The troops were to be divided into
two parts, one of which was to hold
Old Landing and prevent the other
from passing by without discovery
The expenses of the outing were
borne by Mr.. Leblanc, who is much
interested in the movement.
