docking for something he has dropped
and doesn't want to dirty the knees Of
This pants on the muddy ground he
turns his coat outside in to look for
humble bee, which is somewhere in
one Of the sleeves. etc. etc Each side
| is allowed to have as many nOte-tak-
ers as they like. 1t will probably be
found advisable, however, to have not
more than two or three on each side
as these will be particularly sought
out and laid for" by their opponents
and will need to be specially guarded
and so will take off several Scouts
each to protect them. The two sides
are distinguished by having colOred
armlets of yarn tsay red and green)
fastened On their left arm above the
elbow with a streamer IS inches long
hanging loose A watcher is captured
by pulling off a piece Of this yarn
with the left hand. The right hand
holds the staff which must not be
used for sparrin5 or in any other way
except for climbing trees, making a
Scout ladder or in some other scout
ing manner No wrestling or holding
or trough housing" is allowed. When
Scout is captured he goes over near
the king, where he waits till the game
is finished He is dead" and can
take no further part in it in any way
whatever. After the king has gone
through his stunts" to the number
previously agreed on (say one every
five minutesl. he blows his whistle
and all the uncartured watchers and
note-takers come in and the'<results
are tabulated. The note-takers' rec
ords are checked with the kings notes
of what he did.
Points are scored as follows:
For each action correctly reported
in writing by an uncaptured scout his
side scores l point.
For each complete correct record of
the kings actions the note-takers' side
scores Tin addition to the above) an
extra 5 points.
For each uncaptured Scout his side
scores point.
For each Scout who has had his
clothing or equipment torn or dam
aged by an opponent. his side will
score 8 points, and the other side will
have deducted from stheir score 8
points = %bt .-:.
If time permits, each action should
be briefly debated in parliamentary
way before an impartial chairman 1.-THE !
king will do) For every action which
is decided by the chairman, after hear
ing arguments, to be the act of crazy
man the parliament scores l point.
For every action which the army
scouts can show to be natural by CIV
ing a possible and feasible explana-
ton the army scores / point.
The chairman is sole judge as to
which eide has put up the best argu-
ments in the last two cases.
N. B.-The king must prepare care
fully beforehand and have list of
all the actions he intends to go
through. The nature of these will
decide to a great extent whether or
not the debate on them will be inter
esting or one-sided.

The "Crazy King of the Sandwich
Islands" is a game played with con,
siderable success at the Scoutmast,
ers' camp at kailua recently. 1t is
recommended as an inter-trOop or an
inter-patrol game. developing stalking,
tracking and fleetness of foot and
vision.
HOW TO PLAY THE GAME.
The constitutional kingdom of the
Sandwich Islands is supposed to be in
a turmoil. The king is ,headstrong.
fiery and eccentric but, on account of
his generosity and his care for the
comfort of his soldiers, he is the idol
of the army BY his military genius
he has conquered all the surrounding
islands and greatly expanded and en-
riched his king dom. The parliament,
however, is very jealous of the kings
that he may, by a sudden stroke of
policy, put himself at the head of the
army, dismiss the parliament, seize
the government and proclaim himself
an absolute monarch. They believe,
or say they believe that the king is
insane and try to get the people to
think the same. Just when the eX-
element between the two parties be-
gins to run high the king announces
that he is going to spend a week in
solitude in the royal hunting forest.
The leader of the army finds out by
spies that the parliamentary forces
are going to have number of watch
ers spying on the king while he is in
the forest to see if they can catch him
doing something which would prove
that he is crazy. The army men there,
fore decide to watch the king also
and to take note of all he does as they
feel sure that they can explain his
queer antics in a natural way. They
also decide to capture as many of the
parliament's watchers as possible. The
parliamentary spies find out what the
army men are going to do and decide
that they will try to capture the army
watchers. The consequence is that
each side watches and tries to cap
ture the members of the other side
and if possible to prevent them from
making a report of the kings actions.
To play this game two sides are
chosen or patrols are pitted against
each other. The person representing
the king should, if possible, be neu-
trail or outsider, although the Scout
master can take this part if neces-
sary. He goes to place where he
can be seen from all sides if the watch
ers are well posted. The best results
are obtained in a wooded, rough coun-
try which affords good opportunities
for tracking, spying and stalking. The
two sides start from different points
at the same time a quarter of an hour
before the king begins his antics so
that they may be all posted and do
a little spying, ETC., before the note
taking starts. The king will go
through such antics as rubbing his
shin, walking on all tours, turning his
coat outside in, etc, etc. If possible
about half of his actions should be
such as may be explained in natural
way by an ingenious boy, e. g., he rubs
his shin because he has sprained it;
he walks on all tours because he is

Troop VII sent us challenge to
contest IN firc-making and water
boiling which came off at Kakaako
on Tuesday afternoon and which was
won very easily by Troop VII. The
teams were each composed of three
tenderfeet and all three of Troop
vII's team had their water boiling be-
fore one Df ours. They gave us a bad
beating which we hope to avenge in
the return contest, but Troop VII is
warm stuff. That is why they get
their water to boil so quickly. Au-
gust, the. first Scout to boil his wa
ter, won a ha.cLet. He went about
the matter in very business-like way
and won quite easily.

Grip Epidemic Sweeps Over En-
tire Country. Many Deaths.

The epidemic of la grippe to sweep
over this county two weeks since
was not local in character, by any
means, nor did it result in fatalities
as was true elsewhere. In the east
the disease seems to have been cs-
pccialIy severe, not only demoral-
izing business and putting stop to
public gatherings but resulting in
many deaths
During the first three days Of its
rage in Philadelphia more than 15,-
600 people are said to have been
afflicted, 600 deaths being attrlbu-
ted either directly or indirectly to
the la grippe. This is more than
twice that citys ordinary death
rate, In a public statement calling
attention to the seriousness of the
disease the health commissioner OF
that city warned the people to keep
out of crowded places, adding that
one person having the grip may give
it to car load of passengers.
