BOY SCOUTS MEAN BUSINESS
Show How Good Deed Bylaw Can Come
IHto Its Own on Christmas.

Seven thousand Boy Scouts yesterday
obeyed the good deed bylaw OF their
organization. Many took stations at
busy corners to give help to many who
needed IL.
Scouts were detailed 70 the Associa-
ton for the Care Of Crippled Children
to deliver toys and things the children
had made for other crirples.
The Scouts also delivered 500 Christ
mas baskets given by the Washington
Market merchants and seventy-tive
from Municipal Court Justice Leopold
Prince.
Scout troops distributed gifts in their
own districts among the poor who had
not made their needs known. The gifts
were obtained or bought by the boys
themselves.
Many boys and girls who have little
and expect nothing will be given par
ties to-day by Scout troops. Other
troops will carry gifts OF money to pay
the rent of families in danger of being
dispossessed.

voices were heard In the distance. On
the hill below the Hotel Grsmatan ap-
peared Mary, the mother of Jesus. rid
Ing on an ass, with the Christ child in
her arms, and Joseph walking by her
side. They stopped to rest In front OF
the Christmas tree, at the top OF which
the Star was shining. Nine angels, sing
ing carols from the cliff, kept watch
over the weary travellers. After they
resumed their journey voice exalted
the tree FOR sheltering Mary. As the
little procession disappeared in the
darkness the tree burst into light and
1000 spectators joined with the chorus
In singing Christmas carols.
The play was produced under the d.
rection Of William Chauncy Langdon,
pageant master, assisted by Bruce
Crane. the artist. A chorus of 100
voices sang the music, written by Pro
