BOY SCOUTS

Last Tuesday evening the Boy
Scouts of Troop gave an interest
ing exhibition of scoutcraft at the
Y. M. C. A. They had first the
usual order of business, with re-
ports from the different commit
tees.
The flag committee reported that
it's members had visited several
of the merchants of Richmond who
were displaying torn or disgrace
fully dirty flags, asking them to
take them down and put new ones
in their place. The merchants CO.
operated with the Scouts wherever
they have been visited.
After that the scouts gave sig
nal drills in the three forms of sig
neutrality-suspicious., where two
flags are used; wigwag, where one
flag is used; and the Morse code.
A tenderfoot test followed, which
was a true scout test and very in
teresting to all who saw it.
Report has it that soon there will
be many troops of Boy Scouts in
Richmond, but they are not fully
organized.

Once upon a time there was a
little girl named Evelyn. Her faith
er and mother were poor people.
They had nothing to eat. but dry
bread and milk.
Spring came and the birds came,

me to do?" Her mother said, You
can give birds crumbs of dry
bread" 1t was a happy little girl
that went to bed that night.

Does the Serpent Still
Call to ST. Patrick?

SVSS ~ W. w. VIM
Way back about fourteen hun
dred years ago was boy who had
the name of Patrick, which now
only sounds like Irish, but then
made everybody think of Rome.
You see the name of Patrick came
from Patrician which meant fam
lily of the nobility of Rome, and
that's what this particular Patrick
was.
Well, when he was sixteen years
old, pirates stole him away from
his home which was probably in
Scotland, and carried him off into
Ireland and sold him into slavery
! there. While there he learned to
know the language that the people
in Ireland spoke, and he learned
to love the people themselves. So
after awhile he went back to his
own home and became a minister,
and then he went back to Ireland
to teach the Irish lots of things,
but especially about God.
The Irish have told many, many
stories about ST. Patrick as they
call him, and believe many of them
to be true no matter how fairy-like
they may sound to us and other
people that hear them. One story
goes that one cold morning ST.
Patrick and some of his followers
were on mountain, without fire
to cook their breakfast or warm
| themselves. st. Patrick had the
men build up pile of ice and
snowballs, and then, what do you
! suppose he did, he just breathed on
it and made fire. Feeling poet
| ically inclined one morning man
put this story into verse:
"St. Patrick, as in legends told,
The morning, being very cold,
In order to assuage the weather,
| Collected bits of ice together;
Then gently breathed upon the
| pyre,
When every fragment blazed on
| fire"
Another strange story that is be-
| lieved by the superstitious people
| of Ireland who live near the county
of Tipperary you've heard of Tip
perarary) is this: That one time
he banished all the snakes and
toads of Ireland, that is, all but
one monstrous serpent which he
chained up in one of the mountain
districts of Ireland, and told it to
remain there until Monday.
The serpent every Monday morn
ing calls out in Irish, ITS long
Monday, Patrick"
+, And the people firmly believe
this story.
But in spite of all these funny
| stories that have been told of him,
there really was st. Patrick born
in 387 A. D., and died on March
II, 493. He was good man and a
GOOD teacher and the Irish love him
because he is the first great teach
1 er who came to their country.
In his honor, we have set aside
the 18th of March to be st. Pat
rick's day, and we celebrate it with
green ties and green hair ribbons
and green everything because
green is the color of Ireland.

The Brooklets

See the brooklets flowing,
Downward to the sea;
Pouring all their treasures
Bourrtiful and free;
Yet to help their giving
Hidden springs arise,
Or if need be, showers
Feed them from the skies.
