these he had engraved the initials,
w. J. B., and with this neat seal he
completed the treaty.
All other treaties made during his

Country Boy Scouts
Know Many Good Tricks

There are many tricks of scontcrart
that the country-bred boy knows al
most instinctively, but which may
rscape his city cousin for long time.
and one of these Is the best netnoa
Of getting a broken AK or hatchet
holye out of the metal so that q new
tone may he inserted. E.-L
A scout tells how they were iapori-
ously boring holes in broken piece
of handle in an AK head. when n far-
mer who dropped into their camp Tor
a visit saw them. Taking the ak mead
ne. buried the edge a few inches In
the ground, piled some hot coais
around il from the camp hre, and IN
a few minutes the broken piece OF
wood burned sufficiently to allow II
20 be pushed out easily.
In putting q new helye in an ak or
hatchet the helve should be exactly
in the center to q little less than the
width of the head. about three inches
is plenty deep for the ordinary AK
Then the belve should be put in the
AK ard an even tapered wedge OF soft
wocd nut in and driven as far as II
will go. Many persons make the mis-
take of using hard WOOD wedges, but
a softer wedge has more resiliency
and will take up what Is lost BY
shrinkage. Nails should never be used
to tighten the handle.
