and began examining the works" BY
making a few simple adjustments he
could have things running smoothly
again The farmers stood laughing at
him, especially when he said, Il can
fix it," But nevertheless they told
him to 60 ahead Soon the tractor
began to move. The men were aston
ished.
How'd you do 1t, kid"
Say, you're all right"
What's your bill?" These were a
few Of the remarks addressed to him.
You can give me $50" answered
the boy.
"Ho, no! What's the beastly charge
for?" laughed the owner.
We'll, I'll write it out for you" re-
piled the lad, and this is what he
wrote:
To mending engine ...........$ so
To knowing how .............. 1880
Total ................... $4,000
Please remit.
Speaking Of rewards, 1t is true that
even grown-ups like to be rewarded.
We are thinking Just this moment Of
q case in hand, where, we believe, 1t
would be pleasant for the one who
lately did q neat piece Of detective
work to know that others really ap-
preciate his efforts. We refer to De-
tective Stein, who performed quick
action in recovering a lost pin. He
should by rights belong to our noble
order. But he's too old, unfortunate
ly. The man who lost the pin was
more than happy, and good turns"
were done ali the way round. 1t was
all very quiet, but the pin was very
expensive, so you may imagine how !
the heart Of the owner fluttered. No
matter, scouts, II We are paid for do |
ing certain things, isn't It pretty nice |
to have Q kind word from somebody? |
In regard to our flag of red, white
and blue, we are wondering If Artist |
Poole could not draw for US q nice Lit.
tie picture Of scouts at work with
rakes and hoes; then another nice |
little picture of all the vegetables |
springing up like magic, each one
topped with an American flag. In
this regard we believe he would meet |
with competition from the mysterious |
cartoonist, II. N. p. of our morning |
contemporary. These are, meek sug.
gestions for keeping our gardening in
mind.
As Flag Day and kamehameha Day |
are soon to be here, we must not for
get our duty to the flag, nor to the
Hawaiian race nor to the public gen.
orally. Be on hand, scouts, in uni.
form, and with slaves, at 8 o'clock on
Monday morning, at the makai en-.
trance to the Palace grounds. The
G. A. r. and other orders will be
there, and seats will be reserved for
scouts. Speaking Of the G. A. r. re-
minds us that q gallant old man of
this order told US the other day that
he thought so much of the Boy Scouts
OF Western New York as to give
them free access to his large tract
Of timber land In a certain section
there. and that he had much to tell US
concerning them. So now we are in
for good old talkfest with this keen
and appreciatiye old gentleman.
When one Of the scouts in Troop
XII received red marks for saving
two little girls from an automobile
accident at Nuuanu and School
streets, he did not know that the Star
Bulletin was going to say anything
about II, Of course. But we are proud
Of him. Scribe Moi Kee HUI did not
send in the names Of those who pass
ed tests, although we know that Mr..
Brier has been busy with the records
Of all his scouts. This is.a good troop
for some more boys to join, as it con-
tains but two patrols.
At last! Yes. IT'S time, boys, that
Troop is going to arm hoes and
march forth to conquer part Of the
Irwin site, on June 16. No doubt the
Irwin site win feel a heavy weight
down upon it, when given the
surprise party planned by the Nuuanu
troop, as there will be two more pat.
rolls than the good old earth was plan
ming for. But the fact is that Troop
needs to make up to serious bust
ness and help Uncle Sam raise beans.
At last weeks meeting Howard Bah

playing Kim's game. Signaling was
Dractised and first preparations were
made toward the next scout rally. To-
morrow night Troop l will meet, ready
