The Scouts on Il Hike Last Saturday.
1t is a part of scoutcraft to learn
to do pioneering work, and to read
the record of the forests. Tracking
is part Of this training So the
scouts under their respective patrol
leaders assembled at the home OF
their scOutmaster last Saturday at
a. m. for days 'roughing it, in
the woods. All things in readiness
they set out for the camping place
two miles south. This tramp was
thoroughly enjoyed while at the
same time it will be beneficial to the
scouts.
After reaching camp the first or
der of the day was the building Of a
camp fire which was done with glee-
full spirits. After the material for
the fire was gathered the scouts
stood around to see what scout could
build the fire with one match. The
first scout to try it was successful.
I This was quite a stunt, considering
, all materials were to be gathered
from snowy woods and, of course,
no oil can to be used, as is commonly
done in many homes.
The next thing on docket was the
preparing of dinner Each scout
was to do this for himself. This was
a delightful experience to the scouts
and not a complaint at anything was
heard for this is against scout spirit.
The afternoon was spent in tracking
and games. Before the scouts left
camp they all voted unanimously
that they had had jolly, whole
some good time.
1t is we'll for the public to know
that every scout is on his honor to
do a good turn to some one every
day. Here are some of the things
done last week by the scouts: One
little scout found some folks who
had scarcely anything to eat for
three days. One little boy said that
for dinner The scout took food and
kindling wood to them. Three scouts
have been carrying the mail to three
sick and elderly people. Two scouts
stopped a team Of runaway mules.
Another scout took provisions to
destitute family and helped to put
up a stove. One found rabbit in
trap and killed it as its legs were
almost pulled off. Another one res
cued dog which had gotten pain
fully hung up on wire fence. One
cleaned snow off the home of an
elderly lady as the roof was leaking.
Cleaning off sidewalks in front OF
their homes were other good things
done. Many extra and unrequired
chores had been performed by many
of the scouts.
Let all the scouts be present next
Friday at 1880 p. m, as lessons in
signaling are to be given. Each
scout bring two small flags and a
whistle.

"Barricrs Burned Away"

Interest in E. P. Roe, one of
Americas best known novelists, is
being revived by the great success
which is being accorded George Mid
dleton's dramatization of Mr.. Roe's
most widely read story, barriers
Burned Away
brilliant young man and his efforts
to win the love of a rich naughty girl
who believes only in the god of
money. 1t is only when the great
Chicago fire has burned the barriers
of wealth away that she realizes her
love for the man and comes into the
pure nature that had been warped
by an avaricious father.
Mr.. Roe was the novelist of the
great middle class which constitutes
the reading majoriy. His novels are
singularly fitted to appeal to those
for whom they are written. Their
author, a clergyman, who wrote
books with a moral and almost re-
ligious purpose, fact that disarmed
the suspicious; he dealt with domes-
tic scenes and with characters in
humble life, and he mingled senti-
ment and sensation in with judi
cious hand. His novels have retained
their popularity to a wonderful de-
gree, and they have exerted no small
influence for good on large reading
public.
In making his dramatization of
"Barriers Burned Away" Mr.. Mid
dleton has retained all that is good
and wholesome in the story and has
developed the dramatic portions to
such a degree that the play is said
to be far more entertaining than the
book.
Messrs. Gibson and Bradfield, un-
der whose direction the play is ap-
pearing, have supplied an adequate
production and an excellent cast.
