9NENz and NOTES OF THE. BOY SCOUTS &

Here we filled our canteen with
water and started to retrace our
steps looking for place to camp.
We found a good spot about mile
from the spring. We took off our
sacks and started to dig bait to fish.
After we had several worms we took
off our puttees, shoes and stockings,
rolled up our trousers and waded
out far enough to be clear of the
water cress and threw out our lines.
After fishing for an hour and get
ting only a few nibbles, we decided
to quit. We built a fire place and
began to prepare dinner. Standing
Elk prepared twisted bread over the
fire and cooked shoulder and eggs
on a fiat stone passing his first class
requirement of cooking without reg
ular cooking utensils.
After dinner we rested until /
o'clock and then started for home.
On our way we helped ourselves at
four cherry trees and several
tie. We stopped three times to rest
as the sun was high in the heavens
and 1t was in the heat of the day.
Crossing the Susquehanna river
bridge we met Scouts Boward, Leeds
and Snavely, who were going to take
a shower bath after a swim. They
asked us to go along but we kept
on our way home.
IT arrived home at 2.45, very tired
but after a warm bath 1 was ready
for another fourteen miles.

Told His Mother

Told HIS Mother
One boy called his mother on the
telephone.
They drew my number, mother"
he said.
Did they said the mother. Did
they-dear?"
The boy choked bit at that. His
mothers usual way of addressing
him was simply Bob"
But neither this lad nor his moth
er showed any hysteria.
Swamped With Calls
The TELEGRAPH was wamped
with telephone calls all day.
Can you give me the draft num-
bers?" asked scores of folks.
This, of course, was impossible.
my number is so-and-so," said
others. Was 1 drawn?"
Young Wives Silent
1t was noticeable that many young
men in the crowds around bulletin
boards had their wives with them.
These young wives were more quiet
by far than their husbands. A young
man, married within the last three
months, stood with his wife for an
hour in front of one board. Neither
of them spoke. The light-haired
wife held her husbands arm and
strained her eyes at the board. FL
nally, convinced that fate was with
them, the two moved away. Then a
new series began.
They got me-" said the husband.
I'm called in the first lot"
Tomorrow Another Day
WELL" said the girl-wife. "to-
morrow is another day; let's go to
lunch" .
One boy heard the announcer say
his number.

SCOUTS TEACH
FRESH-AR LADS
Instruct Boys at Linglestown
Camp in Signalling and
Other Subjects

Troop 4 held an open air ice cream
festival on Monday and Tuesday eve-
mines at Seventeenth ana Briggs
streets. The Tuesday night affair
was impromptu and was held to al
low ticket holders, who had been de-
tered by the rain on Monday, a
chance to get their moneys worth.
In spite of the RAIN the boys sold
twenty gallons of ice cream the first
night to an attendance of 200 people
and on Tuesday night disposed of
fourteen gallons. making a total of
thirty-four gallons.
Two hundred and thirty-fou tick
cts were sold by the boys and the
proceeds go into a permanent camp
fund to help in enjoying outings and
trips. such as Troop recently en-
joyed at Laurel Dam.
A feature of the festival was bu-

Dowell for kindly allowing the use
of their commodious porNhes during
the worst of the rainstorm, and to
j. +. Dare for loaning the vacant lot.
An item which should be of interest
to other troops is that Scouts Kluch
and Holsopple are now assisting in
the fresh air camp at Linglestown and
in addition to hoeing potatoes are
teaching the boys of the camp signal
ling and other scout subjects.
Scoutmaster McAllister is going to

Scouts Report on Hike
Persons acquainted with scout
work know that one of the require
ments for first class scout rank is
fourteen-mile hike alone or with
one other scout and a written report
of the same. Following is g report
of hike by two members of Troop
6. This is perhaps not an out of the
ordinary report but it tends to give
an idea of one side of scout life.
"On the morning of June 21, at
| $50, Scout Burlington, (Standing
Elk and myself started for Good
Hope. 1t was very foggy, so foggy
that we could not see from one river
lridge to the other. We reached
the Cumberland county shore at 6
o'clock. BY this time the sun had
cleared the fog away.
AT $50 we were in Camp Hill
and at 7.30 reached the Conodo-
guinet Creek. By this time we had
seen several fish hawks, woodpeck-
ers, blue jays, quail, martins, cat
birds and a strange bird which we
could not name. 1t was a clay color
ed bird and was one that was not
familiar to us.

Western Horsewoman
Passes Through City

Mae Gibbons, dressed in the riding
attire of a western cowgirl, and
wearing the amulet of the Red
Cross, passed through the city yes
terday on her way to the front. Dur
ing her stay in Harrisburg, she Wis
tied her sister, Mrs. George Hat
field, 654 Verbeke street.
Miss Gibbons comes from Miles
City, Montana. She was born in the
East and went west when a young
girl. At Fort Keou, near Miles City,
she was connected with a training
station for cavalry horses for the
United States rAmy. She assured a
TELEGRAPH reporter that she
wished she had an opportunity to
demonstrate her ability as a horse
woman. When a livery horse was
mentioned, she declared it would be
childs play to ride a horse trained
to the bit after she had spent her
life training bucking bronchos.

Every Scout to
Feed a Soldier"
Producing Results

That Boy Scouts in the vi
cinity of Harrisburg are actively
engaged in helping farmers to
raise more abundant crops is at
tested by Scout Amos Nye, of
Nye, of Troop @, who says that
while on a recent bicycle trip he
saw four scouts in field near
Camp Hill. .
They had their coats on the
fence and were hard at work
operating cultivator for the
farmer. The identity of the four
scouts arc not known but the in
stance proves that Boy Scouts
here are working hard to back
up the National Scout slogan:

It was a terrible scandal in Glen
wood, the fashionable New York
winter resort. What made it so very
terrible was the fact that it happened
in the most exclusive set in the mil
ionaire colony, and Of course, got
into all the papers with all the de-
tails.
Gladys, only daughter of the arts
tOcratiC Benthams, had eloped with
an actor. Papa Bentham issued a
decree to the effect that Gladly might
return and be forgiven if she came
alone, but never did he wish to set
eyes on the miserable coward who
had lured her away, and no doubt
had an eye on the Bentham money
when he laid his plans. Gladys wrote
in reply that her husband was not
coward, that he had not '1ured" her
and that he had not had any plans"
as to her fathers money, that he was
quite able to support her, that he was
the dearest fellow in the world she
loved him, and was very happy, but
wanted very much TO see him and
''mOmmy," and hoped to be forgiven.
But Richard Bentham was obdurate
and infeXible in his decision. His
wife, who all her life had found it
best to agree with her masterful hus-
band, Endorsed his decision. In fact,
her ambitious plans to marry her
daughter to a titled foreigner hay
ing been so summaTiIy, set at nought
she was perhaps the more bitter of
the two.
It had all come about in this way:
Gladys on a shopping trip to New
York had met Vane Hillary at the
home Of friend. He had come
from California with a letter of in
PRODUCTION to Mary Weed, and hav-
ing the speech and manner of a gen.
tleman, had been entertained and
treated as a friend by the family.
