scout degrees. They make excep-
lions at times IN the case of cripples
when the boys are absolutely un-
able to fulfil a certain requirement,
but when they show remarkable quail

Is thoroughly sound and permits an
obstacle Of some sort to prevent him
from fulfilling requiem ent, no ex-

ments had informed the gentleman
behind the mahogany that he ha d
no coin of the realm with which to
liqu1date the indebtedness, result
ing in his being "caIled." He re-
turned a short time late and watch
ing his opportunity deftly picked
the top from an iron cuspidor and
hurled it at the bar-keep, who
"ducked." with the result that a
broken mirror and other glassware
took the place of broken head. 1t
is proba BILE term of sixty or nine
ty days will serve to cure Ozek's
mania for getting even, and that he
will behave himself should he re.
turn to the city.
