SCOUT PROVES HIMSELF A HERO

Denton Mclean, twelve-year-old
Spokane boy scout, is the hero OF his
troopmates.
Because Of the quick action Of the
young scout, Raymond Rice. returned
war hero and uncle of the boy, is alive
now, instead of drowned In the waters
of Twin lakes.
Hero OF battles on the Frnech front,
wearer of the distinguished service
cross for unusual bravery, and
wound stripe, Rice became exhausted
while swimming In the waters of the
lake.
Superior Judge r. NJ. Webster, an
eyewitness to the heroic rescue, told
the story:
"Denton heard the cry from the
beach that . man was drowning.
Without removing his clothing he
sprang from his cot and dashed TO the
end Of the pier and plunged into the
water Rice had already gone down
twice when the lad came up TO him.
"There was no hesitancy on the part
Of Denton, who seized the drowning
man by the clothing at the back of
his neck and tegan to tow him toward
the shore. Once Rice. in his delirium,
seized young woman near him and
would have carried her under, but
Denton quickly struck him on the wrist
and ordered him to free the girl.
ut was the coolest and most thor
ough rescue Of n drowning man have
ever witnessed"

badly marked and the fur of poor

and so little time to do them in-that
very few women have the rest habit
nowadays. The afternoon siesta is a

time to read tho daily paper, but n
eye is on the clock, for in twenty min

engagement or take a pudding out Of
