BOY SCOUTS AT FRUITLAND.

Boys are about the same the world
over, on the avenues of our large cities,
along the streets of the village n
among the fields n woods of the
open country. The Boy Scout move
ment appeals to them all. While one
might think that it would interest pri-
marily the city boy, whose privileges
of roaming the fields and forests are
limited, yet this great organization has
life to the county boy as well. Its
principles are universal and worthy
of any ones hest effort. Last fall the
Bow Scout movement was introduced
to the boys in the quiet little school
village of Fruitland, and from the
first they nave been interested and
loyal. Although most of them have
looked at the SUBMITS of the surround
mig mountains from their childhood.
yet their scouting has caused them I'D
appreciate more fully the beauty and
! grandeur of nature. From the tower
on Sugar Loaf the boys have enjoyed
the beauty of the sun rise, standing on
High Top they have see it sink be-
hind the hills, and in the cave on tne
side of Piney Mountain supper has
been prepared when the snow was sew
! eral inches deep. Camp fires have
also burned on the summit of Bear
Wallow and ere the summer passes
the boys expect to catch a view from
Caesars Head. But about all. we hope
the boys are getting something better
than the vision from the mountain top;
j we. hope they are imbibing the spirit
of the true Scout who is manly and
j true at all times.
| The Scout register contains the
names of twenty n boys. who meet
once a week in their little hall in the
, village square" We herewith pre-
sent a group of the boys who are glad
to greet you through the columns Of

MADE A QUICK RECOVERY
Elevator Man Tainted When Leg Was
Crushed, but Soon Got Back on
Job-It Was Cork.

When the doors of the service ele-
vator at the Alexandria closed mex
pectedly just as Joe Brousett was
starting the machine it damned his
leg, MASKING it fearfully. Brousett
tainted. Fortunately the elevator
stopped without dragging him.
doc" Bassett, superintendent Of
service, called an ambulance and hur-
ried Brousett to his home. He ap-
peared dazed. A physician vas called.
Mr.. Bassett returned to the hotel and
put a new man on the elevator.
Three hours later he entered the
elevator and was astounded to see
Brousett operating it. For a moment
he thought it was a ghost, but Brou-
sett assured him that everything was
all right.
"You see, that was a cork leg that
got smashed" he said. "The accident
brought back so wildly my original
accident that 1 tainted and only came
to by the time l reached home. Then
I put on my reserve leg and came back
to work."-Los Angeles Times.

PROPOSED REUNION OF
VETERANS OF BLUE AND GRAY.
At WaShingtOn-JOab Edwards of CO.
lumbia, S. C, is Author of the
Suggestion.

In connection with the discussion Of
plans for the reunion next year in
Washington of the veterans of the
Southern and Northern armies at
tention says a Washington press dis
patch, is being given to the sugges-
ton of a South Carolinian that a re-
union of the 13 original States be held
in Washington at the same time. Joab
Edwards of Columbia, S. c., is author,
of the suggestion.
The reunion of the soldiers who
m the Gray and Blue in the city
of Washington next year should be an
epoch-making event." Mr.. Edwards
says. ITO this end 1 suggest that the
Governors of the thirteen original
States arrange to have a reunion of
three States and a dedication of them
selves to America institutions and
that the Governors of the States that
have been formed since the central
Government was established Join in
this helpful service.
Il further suggest that the Govern
nors of South Carolina and Massa-
chusetts take the initiative in this
matter. When so weeks have passed
we say a year is gone. When So
years have passed since the war
ceased we ought to be able to say
sectional feeling of unpleasantness is
gone. When the sulphuric atmos-
these institutions to greater achieve
spread deeper should be planted our
love for our institutions. What an
inspirat.ng effect upon our sons and
daughters would this dedication have
and not only so but those of us would
be admonished. In the face of such
a scene the old soldiers would raise
their united voice like a mighty wave,
which would sweep from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the Gulf to
the Great Lakes, p~roclaiming to our
sons and daughters 60 forward under
these institutions to greater achieve
ments than it has been our privilege
to attain. Such an inspiration would
cause the soldier who wore the Blue
and Gray to pass as brothers through
the, few years still awaiting them
down to the eternal camping ground.
"Is not an end like this worthy of
seeking?" Would it not be worth the
cost "

GET OFF THE SCRAP HEAP.

IF you are forty and thinking OF
crawling on the scrap heap, or if you
are letting the old age idea possess
you. causing you to feel that the best
of your life is spent, you are doing
! yourself the injustice of a lifetime
Unless you have been a "pig-like -hu-
man." over-fed and under-worked,
and have acquired one Of those fat,
fabby, bulgy waistlines-in other
words, if you are not forty, stout"
the best of life is yet before you.
Even the fat man at forty is o ir-
reparabIe if he is still free from the
onset of degenerative diseases, sucn
as hardening of the arteries, heart
diseases, Bright's disease. etc. He
may never be able to lick a Jess Viii
lard or win an athletic championship
for the simple reason that he has lived
short on exercise and long on appetite,
but by adopting a rational plan of liv-
improper diet exercise, rest, and
freedom from alcoholics and other
harmful indulgenc:es-he may live yet
twenty years, thirty or even to be
twice hi s%present age and keep in use
full service.
To the man that is forty who has
made moderation in all things his rule,
Life usually come to him afte rthe
age of forty:

of before he was forty, and he began

Grand Dukes Playful Way.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is not Q
man who talks, but he has a playful
way with him at times, according to
the story told by Julius West In "Sol-
diers Of the Gar" Some time ago,
during an inspection, the grand duke
vas standing next to the emperor, q
few yards away from q group Of gem
erals. He ordered General Russky,
then In commando OF the forces in that
region, to step forward. The grand
duke next ordered . private soldier to
come forward and hack or the gen
erals epaulettes. I'VE can imagine"
says Mr.. West, "the dismay Of the
other generals as the soldier obeyed.
"Now cut mine off, was the next
order. The soldier did so. Now put
them on his shoulders"
It was the grand dukes playful little
way Of promoting Russky to the rank
of adjutant general, the highest in
the Russian army.

HAWsERs OF VAST STRENGTH
Monster Steamers Use Steel Ropes
Which 1t Would Seem Could With
stand Any Power.

After laborious attempts to tow the
T~hessaloniki into port the Greek liner
PATHS arrived at New York and her
captain reported that three heavy steel
hawsers had parted during the effort
to save the disabled ship. The lines
that parted were 4k-inch hawsers,
which means that a strain of 81 tons,
or $4,000 pounds, had been exerted be-
fore the break.
In general towing and lighter ship
work a three-inch steel hawser is the
usual line used. This consists of six
steel wire strands tightly wound on
a central hemp which is soaked in oil,
giving a certain %pliability. This sort
OF hawser is also used by some of the
steamship lines for permanent moor
ings. The breaking point of the three
inch steel line is about % tons. Its
cost is 20 cents a foot.
The largest Of steel towing lines is
the n six inches in circumference,
the breaking strain of which is "a tons,
or 100000 pounds. Because of the
weight Of this line and the difficulty
of handling it the 4k-inch hawser is
the one mostly used for heavy towing.
In bulk the biggest hawsers used
in an American port were those on
the Hamburg-American liners Water
land and Imperator. For permanent
moorings these great liners used "a
inch hemp hawsers besides smaller
lines of steel wire and hemp.

WHERE 1T THRIVES
A Peculiar Truth About the Mail Or
der Business.

Now and then, and quite frequent
ly, much complaint is heard
about mail order houses taking out
money. There will always be some
mail order business, for in the great
field of merchandise there are many
articles which may not be found in
every community. There are So many
hundreds of things that people will
buy when their attention is called to
them that no local merchant can an
ticipate the fact and have the goods
on hand. 1t would not pay him to
have them for the irregular demand.
But the great merchandise staples in
every line can always be supplied by
local merchants and the people will
buy from them in preference to mail
order houses If the local merchants
do their part. Merely cuSsing the
mail order houses gets nowhere. Any
town which has a bunch of live mer-
chants who r alert to attract their
natural trade will not be troubled
much by mail houses. Mr.. Rosen-
field of Sears, Roebuck & Co., is said
to have stated at a recent meeting Of
the American Ad. Club that his COM
pany makes a careful survey of the
country to ascertain what cOmmuni-
ties are dead on the advertising pro-
position and that. where local mer-
chants are not advertising in their
town papers, right there Is sent a
flood of Sears-RoeOuck catalogues.
He said "It always brings results far
in excess of the same efforts put forth
in territory where the local merchants
use their newspapers"
