ascertain what the two north base
mcnt rooms under his brick block
On Jersey could be rented for, Al
tcr a moments thought the doctor
gave the boys the use of these two
rooms rent free. IL fairly took the
committee s breath aud the boys
think II the doctor had a bigger
heart he would have to wear larg.
er overcoat They did not know how
to better express their qualification
than to elect DR.. McChesney ply
sician and surgeon of the 81. Johns
troop, which they did by a unani-
nous vote at their Wednesday
night meeting,
The matter OF lights was the next
consideration and they turned to
city fathers for reliei and were very
promptly and cheerlully met and
granted the lights, a vote OF thanks
was extended the city law makers
and the boys are determined to be
worthy of these kindnesses,
The scouts are having the rooms
wired aud lighted and will build
their own furniture and fixtures,
which will be a part OF their winter
work. A number OF the scouts
have been hopping the hops, but
are returning and taking up their
