It's a Long Way to wyaeonda.

Soon after, we broke camp and re-
turned to town. Then at $3.50, left
on my longest days ride from Pal
lmyra to Wyaconda. But before we
leave Palmyra, let me say that they
viii be here at our meet and have two
or three buglers entered. They prob
ably have better buglers than any
other troop have seen. Now To-
Wyaconda. stopping at Canton, Mo-,
on the way.
| The best information that I could
! get was that it was about So or ~
miles to Wyaconda and so ! thought
when ] got to Canton at IL O'Clock.
which was about % miles from Pal
myra, that it surely wouldn't be more
3 than Is miles to Wyaconda and l
could do that in an hour and hall.
So hunted up Scoutmaster Wilson
and talked field meet with him TIL
! 200 p. m. Then / strated out after
being assured that Mr.. Wilson would
bring about eight or ten boys to the
meet Passing through the town,
asked man How far is 1t to Wya-
iconda7 About IL miles, Twelve
miles, Why. it's 20 to Williamstown,
and wyaconda is - miles from there"
! My. never felt more like fainting
lin my life. But I hit the trail again
with all the speed could make, winch
wasn't much, because during all my
travelling on wheel, | never found
so many hills to the mile as there are
bet ween Canton and Williamstown. 1t
was a regular game of teeter-totter
No sooner down than UP again.
Well, at about 500 p. m, stopp n
at williamstown for refreshment and
asked q man IL 1t was still So miles to

Distance to PALMYRA.


After paying my toll on the bridge,
Il asked how far it was to Palmyra.
Well, about twelve miles, he thought
-ou go west till you come to Taylor
land then straight south into Palmyra
Alright" l thought. I'll do it in an
hour" Then, after travelling west for
iabout an hour, l came to Taylor and
king couple Of women how far it
was to Palmyra, one said thirteen
miles and the other said ten. l had a
notion to turn around and go back,
/ but didn't. About half mile farther
idown the road, asked man on a
wagon how far it was, and he said
tabout twelve miles. So l decided to
call it fifty and go ahead and wait till
II got there.
About noon. I actually arrived at
Palmyra and found everybody out On
Main street to greet me, in fact there
was parade about to start just
waiting for my arrival. with two uni
formed bands in it, getting ready to
celebrate the occasion. Shortly after
II arrived. the. procession went by, but
II found out that the celebration was
for the St. Louis business men and
that they didn't even know 1 was
coming
So, having been left out OF. the big
parade, I proceeded to organize one
iof my own. Word was soon sent to
all the scouts in town, announcing an
overnight hike and at 5 p. M, about
fifteen boys met at the city hall and
we marched down Main street, packed
with blankets and grub and headed
for the river. Upon arriving at the
camp site, supper was soon disposed
Iof, and then we proceeded to build
tlean-to and bough cot with willows.
and gathered great pile of fire wood.
THE night was rather cool and we
kept up a fire all night. After fair
lily successful night, and an early
breakfast, the boys ran down pos
sum which sought shelter in it's nest
In the end of large dead limb of
tree. The scoutmaster climbed un
with some difficulty, drew the 'possum
out and lowered 1t with string. Then
he came down and showed the boys
how she took care of her young, which
unlike most animals, were carried
with her all the time, in pouch This
was a rather interesting lesson in ma
ture study.

 MEXICAN ENVOY
GIVES AUDIENCE TO REPRESENT ATlVE OF THE AGUAS CON-
 VENTlON IN MEXICO.
Envoy Visits State Department to As sure Government That Americans Win Be Protected

Washington, Jan 26.-Secretary Bryan today gave his first audience to Enrique C. Llorente, Washington rep resentatiye of the convention govern ment at Mexico City. Mr. Llorente said he went to the state department by instruction from his government to inform the United States that full protection would be given foreigners and their property.
 q made declaration, said Mir. l4lorente, Ito the secretary of state on behalf of my government that in view of the threatening attitude of "arranza towards foreign interests in Tampico, it was deemed convenient to say that the convention govern. ment will be governed strictly by the laws already in force and those that shall be duly enacted in respect of vested rights. All the wrongs com mitted by the Carranza government at Tampico will be righted as soon as the convention government gains con- trol of that district
 Il also made clear to the secretary that the aim of the convention gov ernment is to gain for it's administrn. tion the confidence and respect of foreign relations by showing a proper degree of care for the lives and property of their nationals"
 Mir. Ilorente's visit was a sequel to the conference which Secretary Bryan held last week with Eliseo Arredondo, Washington representative of General Carranza, concerning the oil situation at Tampico While it is the policy of the state department to deal through it's consular agents with the authori- | ties in de facto control at any point | in Mexico. Secretary Bryan has re ceiyed unofficially representatives of all factions. though such conferences | have been comparatively few.
 The following summary of the mili | tary situation in Mexico around San Luis Potosi and Monterey was issued today by the state department:
 The department is in receipt of q report stating that rail communica tion between Fl Paso. Texas, anC | Monterey is interrupted
 "It is reported to the department under date of January % that tho troops at the city of San Luis Potos have joined the anti-Villa faction anC that there is no communication be tween that place and Aguas Calientes At the time this report of the 2otl was sent. trains bound for Mexico City from Fl Paso, Texas, were un able to proceed beyond Aguas Cali entes and a great many American
 who were on their way to Mexico Cit.
 were compelled either to remain a Aguas Calientes or return to Fl Pasc
 From the best information obtainable
 it would appear that train service t
 Mexico City is interrupted indet
 nitely at points south of Aguas Cal eates"
