the most that any single college can

the total number 149 are studying in
New York state, which leads all 9th

California runs a close second with

LIBELED BY TALKING HORSE
German spinster Picked Out by AMI
NAL as Woman Most in
Love Sues Circus.

Berlin.-Butzow. in Mecklenburg,
has the distinction of being the frat
town where an inhabitant has been
libeled by a talking horse. Recently
a talking horse connected with trav-
cling circus was instructed by its
trainer to select from the audience
the woman who was most in love.
The intelligent animal sought out an
elderly spinster who was present with
her fiance, whereat shouts of laugh
ter arose from the audience.
Finally, the fiance, losing his tenn
per, drew a revolver and fired a shot
which he merely intended to brighten
the testers. The bullet struck and
slightly wounded a married woman
who was some distance off. The vic
tim now claims damages for assault
while the spinster sues the circus
proprietor for the insult perpetrated
by the talking horse.

when she was without means Of sup
port and how their cheerfulness and
brightness gave her more courage
than anything else.
The list of rescues of drowning per-
sons saved by scouts is a long one.
and the instances come from almost
every part of the country.
One Of the most widespread duties
rendered by scouts last year was in
connection with tie county fairs held
at various places throughout the coun-
try. At fair after fair. where country
people gathered by thousands, alert
little fellows wearing scout uniforms
acted as guides, cared for persons
overcome by the heat, found lost chill
dren and restored them to distracted
parents and in other ways showed
that they could do things worth while.

Gen. Baden-Powell, and before long
had so absorbed the spirit of the scout
movement that he FASTENED home full
of the idea of organizing a correspond
ing movement for American lads. And
that is how the Boy Scouts of America
came TO be started.
Since the time when it was placed
on a permanent footing, just four
years ago. the Boy Scouts of America
have grown by leaps and bounds. To
day there are more than 100000
scouts in the whole country, but only
1000 scout masters, and the need for
more men to help develop and guide
boy life is growing keener month by
month.
The activities of the scouts are most

woods. lighting fires with one match

In Massachusetts, Boy Scouts are
