Scouts Respond 70 The Needs q Flied
Sufferers

Members Of the boy Scouts Of Am
erica drought the country displayed
the principals Of true scouting in
helping the persons who are afflicted
by the recent floods in Ohio and 9th.
er places along the Ohio river: In
hundreds of towns and in many Of
the big cities boys went out scouting
for food and clothing, which they de-
livered to the relief headquarters for
shipment to the flood suffers.
The scouts who were most conspic-
nous, probably, were those in Allie
gany county Pennsylvania. The
boys voted to contribute 5000 to the
sufferers, which they had earned and
saved to pay the expenses of their
camp this summer. Furthermor ore,
those same scouts collected 800 pieces
of clothing to be sent to the flood
district.
The bow scouts of Toledo, Ohio,
did valiant work as self.appointed
solicitors of supplies and money con-
tributions for the Hood suffers. The
boys dOnned their scout uniforms.
The boy scouts Of Poughkeepsie, n.
y. Chicago, Ill.,, Florence, 5. G.,
Logansport, Ind. Rock Island, Ill.,,
Brockport, N. T.. did splendid work
in collecting money and supplies for
the flood sufferers. In Washington
the boy scouts collected over $1,000
under the direction of A. e. Moses,
president of the local council. In
Roanoke, Va, Troop was especially
enthusiastic in collecting money and
did everything within their power to
help the boy scouts. The scouts Of
Glrard, o., rendered splendid service
in relief work, under the direction of
Scout Master Phil Harty and DR.. f.
A. Kirby. The boys got in some real
patrol work when they were commits
stoned to assist in the enforcement of
precautionary quarantine at the flats,
the foreign section, which was COM
pletely flooded.
Reports have reached headquar-
tiers of the remarkable work done by
John Stone, a member of the River
dale scouts. Stone was on All impro-
vised raft. He turned corner in the
flooded district just as Mrs. Charles
NJ. Adams was sinking for the third
time.-Her husband had tried to save
her and twin babies at the same time
but Mrs. Adams had been torn away
from him in the swift current. just
then Stone appeared and pulled her
onto the raft. Scout Reporter.

One Of Byron's Jokes.

Byron had given to Murray. his pub
fisher. as a birthday present Bible.
magniticently bound. which he enrich.
ed by q very catering inscription.
This was laid BY the grateful pub
Usher in his drawing room table and
somewhat ostentatiously displayed to
all corners.
One evening as a large company
were gathered around the table one
of the guests happened to open the
Testament and saw some writing ON
the margin. Calling to Murray. he
said. "Why. Byron has written some
thing hcre!' Narrower inspection
proved that the profane wit had eras-
ed the word 'robber" in the text und
substituted that of publisher" so that
the passage read thus: Nov. Barab.
has was publisher"
The legend goes on to state that the
book disappeared that very night from
the drawing room table.
