in Wilmington, Ohio, and a very old

"A bygone day"

"A bygone day"
There is always charm about the
days that are departed.
No matter how prosaic they may
have been in actually. For nothing
so softens the bald outlines of what
we term "reality''-although what is
real and what is not is matter for
speculation-as the drapery of time.
Why this is we cannot explain.
For the reason that no-one can ever
explain anything about life.
1t is trite to say it is the great mys-
terry, unsolvable.
PHILOSOPHERS have been conjured up
from the depths of reflection, religions
manufactured from the experiences OF
humanity, theories evolved from the
observations of sages, and a thing
handed out for general consumption
called "the commonplace"-but no one
knows nor understands.
We appear. We disappear.
That is all we know.
And that the god of things grinds
on just the same. Suns and moons and
seasons and tides come and go, matter
continues, the microscopic point in
the universe called "the. earth re
mains intact
But we've are nothing.
Yesterday this column quoted to the
effect that we do not possess life. 1t
passes through us.
Nothing, after ALL could be more
plausible.
We are merely medium-ac ciden
tai perhaps-through which life is
strained. When it has completed its
course through the channels of fleshly
essence passes on.
The dregs are carted to the GENE
terry.
And that is never You.
You have ceased to exist as an in
dividual entity. What you thought was
yourself was a stream of that liquid
force called life" which was poured
through you and which has gone on
into other combinations and forms.
It's only our egotism, as has been
said here before, perhaps, that has
created an eternity for our Individual
ity.
This is not especially apropos, to be
sure, of the opening paragraph-but
writing is sometimes like life-one is
apt to wander off into by-paths. BY.
paths are always alluring-at least
their vistas look so from the main.
road-the dusty, tiresome and unmis-
takably straight main-travelled thor
oughfare.
That is one reason the bygone days
are fascinating.
And they were fascinating enough
per Sc, "as 1t We're"
For no matter how rapidly we are
evolving toward democratization OIL
ideals and general social leveling-
the period of sharp contrasts and
more aristocratic feeling had an eff
festiveness these automobile-ridden
electric-lighted days do not possess.
[ And there was such a day even in
Richmond.
And not SO long ago at that.

THE BOY SCOUT
MOVEMENT GROWS
Large Attendance at Flrst Meeting of
the Year Encourages Those
In Charge Of the Or
ganization.
THE SCOUT LAW
Boys Are Taught to obey the Law
That Every Scout Is a True
Friend and Good
Citizen.
SCOUT

Nearly forty boys enlisted in the
boy scout movement in the first meet
ing of the year held at the Armory
Friday night. Most of the boys were
active in the organization but there
We're also several new recruits.
The showing WAS exceedingly
gratifying to the men in charge of
the Organization in this city. The at
tendance was better than last year
and the boys were very enthusiastic.
They believe that this movement
which has been endorsed by the lead
ing men of the country will grow in
strength among the Youths here.
Capt. Frank LeBron was present
and gave them formation ideas, form
ed them. in squads and showed them
how to handle a crowd. He paid
the boys quite tribute when he said
that they were as quick to learn as
any men he had ever handled. There
were enough boys present to form
four patrols of nine boys each.
In speaking Of the movement here
N. H. Pyle says, while Captain Le-
Bron instructed the boy scouts in squad
formations 1t must be understood that
the boy scout perspective end scope
is non-military although it does in
still in the boys many soldier virtues
such as honor, loyalty and obedience.
The uniform, the patrol, the troops
and the drill are not for military tao
tics but for unity, harmon and dis
cipline that few boys learn. 1t is in
the wearing of the uniform and the
doing of things together as scouts
that they absorb the force and truth
of the scout law which states that
a scout is friend to all and broth
er to every other scout"
This movement stands for patriot
| ism that causes the boys to love their
country and instead of boasting about
lit they serve their country by being
good citizens.
