Delightful Afternoon.

Mrs. S. S. Roane entertained last week
with a May-Day party ib honor of her
sister, Miss Addie Young. Pink roses
and sweet peas la baskets and vases
gave lovely color to the decorations,
and pink and white butterflies were
lightly swaying over them.
Miss Frances Broadslrest and Edith
Brown presided at a rose-wreathed
punch bowl. On entering tt library
ones attention was caught by a large
pink heart with a bell suspended in the
center. After drawing for places
marked on pink hearts, the girls were
lined up in order and given pink silk
beau-hags. The object was to ring
the bell and three trials were al
lowed. the successful ones turning down
the others. After many wild throws,
and much excitement, the prize, a pink
heart box of candy was won by Miss
Hattie Moody.
A rose contest was next The ans
wers to the questions being names of
roses. Miss Dora Adams proved most
clever at this and was given a pink box
of candy.
Miss Frances Broadstreet, as Queen
of Hearts. presided over a mysterious
rite. Each girl was given a pink paper
Attdlt WuhSu tio bVbtiiAiS vi Its Sttfct
until held by Miss Broadstreet over a
magic pink taper. when gradually the
destiny of each was revealed in rhyme.
When the guests were invited into
the dining room it seemed IA veritable
fsiry-land-s bower OF roses glowing
in the candle light. The table was
covered with a lace cloth over pink,
and around a gold May-pole in the CEN
ter six little pink clad dollies danced,
holding the pink and VIII te ribbons.
The pink shaded electric light was
twined with fern and ribbons while
pink butterflies lowered over all.
Around the table near the edge were
little pink May baskets of howers-one
for each girl. Hidden among the bios
SONS were little ribbon-tied scrolls.
These when read brought the after
noon to a climax. They said:
This little scroll a secret tells
Of lovers knots and wedding bells,
A story of how cupid's darts
United Ben's and Adde'S hearts.
These wedding bells will soon be heard,
The date is set for June the third"
Pink ice cream, roses and white heart
cakes with the letters A.-Y. in pink
icing were served and completed a
most delightful afternoon.
Above should have appeared last
week but by an oversight was left out.

THE BOY SCOUTS IDEA.
II Originated In America, According to
National Scout Commissioner.


Daniel G. Beard, national boy scout
commissioner, in letter to New
York newspaper contributes the fol-
lowing:
"For the sake of historical accuracy
allow me to correct statement to the
effect that the boy scout idea origi-
mated in England The fact Is 1t was
evolved here In America from Ameri-
can traditions and history and particu-
larry from the lives of the buckskin
men Of the middle west-Daniel Boone
and Simon Kenton, George Rogers
Clark, Davy Crockett and George
Washington. The distinguished gen.
eral Baden Powell was too good
sportsman to claim the idea. When he
first visited this country and was In
troduced by Mr.. Seton as the father or
the boy scouts he said. i am not the
father. but might be called the 'un-
cle."' He frankly acknowledged that
he 'cribbed' the idea from America.
See also Colonel Roosevelt's letter to
the boy scouts Of Philadelphia in the
book of their third annual encamp-
ment, in which he says that the boy
scout idea was brought to his atten-
ton while he was president This was
before Baden-Powell's scouts were or
ganized Baden-Powell previously had
a society Of boys; so also had many
other people and churches and welfare
workers, but none Of them became
universally popular until the American
scout idea was adopted to appeal to
the boys love Of romance and adven-
ture.
"The gentlemen in this movement
are in it to help the boys and not for
personal glory; hence we have agreed
that none of us shall make personal
claims to the honor of originating the
idea, but we also agreed that 1t Is per-
fectly right, legitimate, proper and
patriotic duty to state that 1t Is an
American idea, Indigenous to this coun-
try.
"The boy scout movement had It's
birth many years previous to 1910 here
in America. 1t was, however, In 1910
that the different bodies and individu-
ais working for the boys united and
formed the present organization known
us the Boy Scouts Of America; hence
the erroneous impression as to the date
of the birth of the boy scout idea"

LAUDS THE BOY SCOUTS.
Secretary Daniels Says Training viii
Make Better Young Men.

Praises for the boy scout movement
were spoken by men of national impor-
lance at the great public meeting held
in the ballroom of the Raleigh hotel, In
Washington, as the closing feature OF
the fourth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Council of the Boy Scouts OF
America. Secretary Daniels of the
navy department spoke Of the better
type of young men which would result
from boy scout training. Dan Beard,
who will have charge Of the united
Baltimore and Washington scout camp
ON the Chesapeake bay this summer.
related a number of his experiences
and explained where he learned scout
craft. Other speakers were Senator's
Nelson and Clapp of Minnesota. Varda-
man of Mississippi, Johnson OF Maine
and w. B. Greeley of the department
of agriculture.
The boy scout movement was COM
pared with the navy by Secretary Dan
iels He pointed out that the navy was
irving to instill into the minds OF the
sailors just such principles ana hlgh
ideals as were being put into the boy
scouts. Said Secretary Daniels:
81 am glad that you are adding q
navy section to the others and that the
bows are learning to swim and learning
the semaphore and signaling and all
those things. There is something about
the water and about the navy that ap-
meals TO almost every boys imagina-
tion. | hardly ever saw boy who DIG
not want to 90 aboard battleship."

WEATHER SIGNALS BY SCOUTS

Chardon, o.. has one Of the unique
weather bureaus of the country.
1t is conducted entirely by the boy
scouts of the vicinity. Chardon folk
and farmers for miles around have
come to- depend on the boys weather
bureau to learn the variations due.
The boys receive the reports from
Cleveland daily. Then they run the
forecast flag to the top Of the high pole
In the courthouse yard.
Richard Bostwick. Harold Bostwick
and Spencer Warren are among the
young operators who hoist the weather
signals which have become so indis-
pensahle to Chardon folk.

SPLENDID WORK
OF BOY SCOUTS
Bringing Out What Is Best In
Youth of the Land.
LIVING CLOSE TO NATURE.


Straeht-LoyaI to His Scout Lead
or, His Home, His Parents and
Country.
Among the great movements that
have done much to check the tenden-
cies drawing men down the boy scout
movement stands out strongly.
The movement has spread like wild
fire in America, and there are few cit
les that do not have their boy scout
bands. The boy scout movement makes
American boys better Americans. 1t
takes them out of doors and teaches
them how to do things they never
would learn anywhere else.
While the movement is of great ben
eft to lads in the country and small
towns, in the cities 1t is of inestimable
value The aim of the leaders of the
Boy Scouts of America is to develop
men of the type of the great men OF
history
AS the scout the boy willingly adopts
as real and vital the universally ac-
cepted principles Of life as set forth In
the scout oath and law. This effec-
lively influences the boys nature and
character so as better to prepare him
for that work which the church can
best do.
A scout promises that upon his honor
he will do his duty to God, his country
and obey the scout law; that he Will
help other people at all times and that
he will keep himself physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight.
Must Be Trustworthy
The scout law, covering the twelve
fundamental principles, requires a
scout first of all to be trustworthy. That
means that he must not tell a lie, cheat
or deceive, but keep every trust sacred
A scout is loyal to all to whom loyalty
is due. including his scout leader his
home, his parents and his country
Furthermore, a scout is helpful, pre-
pared at all times to save life, help In
tured persons and do at least one good
turn daily. A scout is friendly to ala
brother to every other scout.
A scout is courteous, especially &c
women. children and old people, ano
he must not take pay for being cour
focus. A scout is kind to animals ano
does not kill or hurt any living crea
ture needlessly. A scout is obedient. A
scout is cheerful, even when facing
hardship and drudgery. A scout Ii
thrifty. He works faithfully, wastes
nothing and makes the best use OF Ms
opportunities. A scout is brave ant
does what he knows is right, In spite
of jeers and threats. A scout is clear
In body and thought, stands for clear
speech. clean sport, clean habits, anc
travels with clean crowd. Finally,
scout is reverent toward God. He Ii
faithful In his religious duties and re
spects the convictions of Others In mat
ters of custom and religion.

ONE BOY SCOUT CHECKS
CROWD OF THOUSANDS.

Ut seems inconceiyable that
boys could handle a crowd
more effectively than strong
men, but the boy scouts proved
that such was the case. at least
on one Inauguration day In
Washington. A six foot police
man was finding the crowd along
Pennsylvania avenue too much
for him. They would draw back
little and then surge forward
with the relentless pressure Of a
hydraulic ram. Near by stood a
twelve-year-old lad In the uni
form of a boy scout In his
hand was a small stick that
looked about as well fitted to
hold back a crowd as young Da-
vid's sling did to knock out the
giant Goliath.
Here. scout" called the big
policeman. push back a few
thousand of those people. will
your"
The boy never even smiled,
) He held out his stuck horizontal
ly and started for the mass of
humanity. whereupon the mass
melted into friendly group OF
men and women with big
place in their hearts for a plucky
small boy. and it was the place
In their hearts that made a place
In the road. Shouting with
laughter. they moved back, and
the boy held them securely there
with his magic wand Of youth.
