reared through the portal into that
land OF history which supplies us with
much interesting matter in the form
OF magazines and books. We have
become historical. 80 TO sreak. and
our GOOD turns daily practised We shall
have no cause TO regret. From the
messenger who ran Tor cup OF water
in the crowded Pan-PacifiC building.
to the human semaphOre who stood at
King and Fort streets and directed
cars eva and cars waikiki, and autos
mauka and makai so capably, all
scouts were alive and ready and
should be grateful to the scoutmasters
who have given them so much time in
training.
All scouts are tired-so tired and
full Of sleep that no meetings of i'm
Dortance have yet been held; but next
week we'll wake up and stand alert
and the scribes will once more dip
their quilts in inkwells that 5alas)
run to overlooking in some OF the
scout headquarters, wishing the writ
ers would use them more extensively.
Meantime the editors bottle Is nearly
pau. while the old office Quill scratch
es along and rehashes in a way the
little notes that Mother C's adopted
children have sent in.
Dear Robert Anderson has gone
one OF the finest scOutmasters that the
order ever boasted; and as he leaned
over the rail of the Manoa, all lei
bedecked and smiling while never
theless choking down a big lump in his
throat. a few of his boys left the
boat and went marching back to town,
their secret tears dripping down and
falling into the dust below.
The perfect weather of King Carni-
vars week has passed, and now the
cOconut feather busters that Swished
against the sky and kept it bright and
smiling for the best part of week,
are having their deserved good wash
ing. sos to look all bright and green
again. or evenings there are but few
scout voices to be heard, and as night
darkens into blackness toward the
morning hours, all that reaches the
editors ears is the steady strike OF
little hammers and the ring OF elfln
anyils as the menehunes' ply their
trades under the mountain apple trees
and in the black volcanic caves of
upper Manoa valley.
Scribe Simonton of Troop | reports
slim meeting held last Saturday
when certain exercises were attempt
ed. It was discovered that some OF the
boys could not rapidly spell cat and
rat, and so they held spelling match,

rapidity. All members are requested
