AN UNUSUAL OFFERING
Shaw's Musical Organization of Boy
Scouts.

Perhaps the most wonderful fea-
ture of our Chautauqua this season
will be the Boy Scouts Orchestra, a
noted group of boys under the eff
Gent direction of Prof. Chas. Edward
Shaw, who will appear the first day
of our Chautauqua. Prof. Shaw is
praised as the most versatile of all
musicians of the present day. We
cannot more than mention the various
ways in which his marvellous musical
ability is shown.
At his chosen profession, he is a
violin maker. One finds his shop
filed with an atmosphere of high
class music. The violins, both new
and old, make one feel as if he were
in the presence of one of the old mu-
sic masters.
1t is doubtful If our people would
now have the privilege of hearing
Prof. Shaw on the Chautauqua plat
form, If he did not have great love
for boys. He has gathered about him
group of boys who show special
aptitude for music, and has trained
them, both individually and as an or
chestra. These boys are no. taken
from the streets. They are from the
best Christian homes, and are men,
bers of the great army of boy scouts.
They are not only musicians; they
are genuine American boys, which is
equal to saying that they are lively
bunch. We should naturally expect
such boys to give unique and enter
tanning programs. A little of their
time will be devoted to stunts of the
boy scorts, such as building fires
without matches or Goals, reviving
drowned persons, etc.
The great feature of the boy
scouts, however, is their superb mu-
sic. The fact that they are students
under Prof. Shaw and are under his
direction is sufficient evidence OF
their musical worth. AS an orchestra
they constitute the very best to be
had in Chautauqua work. Each one
is an artist, despite his youth.
Beside their work as an orchestra,
the boys are exceptionally good as ins
strumental soloists. In Master Roy
Shaw, violinist, the Boy Scouts Or
chestra has the advantage of every
other musical organization on the
platform. He is without doubt SUI
perior to any one of his age in the
country. The boys also have a quar-
tet which renders delightful vocal
numbers.
We believe that our people will be
quick to take advantage of this OPP
portunity to hear the Boy Scouts Or
chestra, which promises to be one of
the greatest attractions OF our whole
Chautauqua.

To Honor Heroic Indians

From the Toronto Mail and Empire.
For their humane work and acts of
great heroism, the department of Indian
affairs intends to grant substantial re-
wards to Chief Weemanoseekis, and Sam
Batiste, two Indians of the Babine re-
serve, in British Columbia. Weemano-
seekis last winter cared for white man
who. having strayed from his friends, lost
his reason when nearly 200 miles from
civilization. The Indian supplied food to
the deranged man, whom he often had
difficulty restraining, and nursed him
with kindly patience till friends arrived
from outside.
Batiste supplied provisions to two pros
pectors, Frank Rahnor and W. H. Wrig-
ley, who were wintering on the Indian
hunting grounds They ran short of food
and were taken in camp by Batiste, who,
with his family, went without food for
some days as result of their hospitality
when in the utmost extremity. The kind
ness of the Indians saved the life Of
Wrigley. but Rahnor succumbed as the
result of exposure and hardship. The In
dian lost one of his children from the
privation suffered in sharing his humble
larder with the white men.
The department authorities have direct
ed the attention of the government to the
case. and a substantial grant Is proposed.
while the Royal Humane societys re-
wards will also be sought for the red
men.

A round of the links is a rite. A caddy

aware that it was upsetting his game.
Half way round the course he whaled

"GARDEN SASS THE REMEDY

To Study American Battleships

F. What is the world coming to? Eng
land is sending commission across the
Atlantic to study the conditions OF lower
deck life in American fighting ships
so that improvements may be in
troduced into the British navy. Things
are coming to a curious pass indeed.
When the British admiralty IS willing
TO admit that England can learn any
thing from anybody about fighting
ships.
A board, consisting OF Vice Admiral
William. Fleet Surgeon Munday, and
e. N. Mooney of the royal corps of
naval constructors, is to spend six
weeks in America chiefly at Newport
and the New York navy yard. I under
stand that they will begin studying
the system of ventilation in United
States battleships The visit ought to
have practical results for British sail
ors. The Orion class carry a compile
ment of 500. The Wyoming carries
1115. If the navy department at Wash g.

one foot more draught, and at the same
time house and sleep them much better.

selves, though. the great majority will
do nothing of the kind.
observing this, Mr.. Patterson deter
mined some years ago to try to induce
MS employees to raise gardens. As a
means to this end he offered a number
or cash prizes to be distributed among
the owners of the best vegetable gardens,
and other prizes for the women having
the most attractive flower gardens. The
first year the scheme was viewed with
dark suspicion. But after the whole camp
mad gazed with watering mouths at the
succulent lettuce, peas, beans, corn, to-
matoes and other good things raised by
the more venturesome, and had seen the
prizes in real money distributed, there
was no more hesitation. This year every
mead OF a family in the camp, with two
exceptions, had a fine garden, sufficient
to supply the table with all the fresh
vegetables that could be used throughout
the season, and gorgeous display of
mowers. The camps vegetable crop this
year was valued by f. A. Schubert. in
dustrial agent of the Norfolk and West
ern railway, who Is versed in such mat
ters, at $4,000. Add the $110 prize money
distributed among the best ten garden
-ers and the $3.50 at which the annual
product Of the cows, pigs and chickens
have the impressive total of y4sso extra
money for the camp. which gives an
average Of $3.50 for the 225 men on the
payroll.

alone.
Woodson gives Baby's description as

front leg from toes to elbow joints,

for three miles, caught and killed it. For
absolute proof Baby carried his prey clear
