With deep sorrow we record the death
of Glenn R. Rule, a young man who had
lived all his life in Shreveport, and was
greatly endeared to a large circle OF
friends. Many of whom were bound to
him by the golden associations of a
happy youth They grieve that he has
passed from earth, and weep with the
grief-stricken family, the beloved moth
er, the devoted young wife, and dear
sisters, who are overwhelmed with their
unspeakable sorrow.
Glenn Rule was the only son of the
late Charles Rule, and our own loved
friend, Mrs Julia Rule, one of Shreve-
ports most valued women, and grand
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas G. Sparkle,
well remembered and esteemed citizens
Of Shreveport who have long since gone
to their reward
A nature sunny, sympathetic and hap
by, ever ready TO think and do the kind
" thing, he was the antagonist of all
that was gloomy, cold and unkind. But
his young life is ended and his days cut
off ere he had reached his prime.
Funeral services were held Thursday
afternoon at the home Of DR. E. G. Al

Of sorrowing friends flied the house.

SORROW.

The sorrowftl intelligence of the
death Of Willie Basch, which occurred
at Colorado Springs, Colo, Tuesday,
was unexpected, ard his family are
bowed with grief at their great loss.
Hoping 10 derive benefit from the dry
atmosphere of higher region, Mr..
Bascll, who was suffering from bron-
.chial trouble, went to Colorado more
than 4 year ago but healing did not
come, and his heart .sickened with long
ing for the loved al home. The end
came in the quiet hours of the night
for when morning broke the brave spirit
that had struggled 50 patiently and I'm
eoniplainingly with disease had returned
TO God who gave il, and the seal of ever
lasting silence was Upon his 1ipe
Willie Basch was the second son Of
Mr. and Mrs, + H Basch Of this city.
A young nan whose whole career was
marked by excellence, the memory of
his blan1eless life will be cherished by
all who knew and loved him. Educated
in the public schools of this city, from
which he was graduated with honors IN
the class of 1904, it is inexpressfbly sad
that his life of promise could not have
had fulfllment
To his devoted parents and to his sis
tiers, Misses Louise and Bessie Basch,
to his brothers John and Charles Basch
and other near and dear relatives, the
deepest sympathy IS extended Floral
offerings Of great beauty came from
many who loved him, and from the
teachers of the central school who had
taught him, and the Alumni Association

has beqtteathed to them.

Good Words For Scouts.

Secretary c. Loring Brace az the re-
cent annual meeting of the New YORK
Children's Aid society i'm his report
said:
"The training of the boy scouts in
manlineSs and honesty and helpfulnesS
is more needed by the tenement house
boys than others. Who will help us
organize them into a detachment OF
the boy scouts? The older boys sent
by an east side mission organized
themselves into gang, whose ideals
were to disobey all regulations. gam
BILE and maltreat smaller boys. The
boy scout movement would interest
these east side boys and would bring
influences to bear upon them to meet
the evils Of street life"
At recent meeting Of the Ardmore
troop Of Ardmore, Pa. Owen Mahon,
soldier Of fortune, scout and hero OF
Mafeking, stirred up great enthusiasm
by relating some Of his experiences
I'm the Boer war After his address
he gave the boys instruction In the
rudiments of the Morse code and OF
the scout system of signaling. An
other interesting address was made by
Scout Master Sutton. who outlined the
plans fer the work Of the winter.
