Boy Stories by Dan Beard

There he ordered four boards. each
five feet in length, six inches wide at
one end and tapering to fou at the
other.
How long will 1t take" he asked
the foreman of the mill. Ready in
ten minutes was the answer. Pick
les next took all hands to a hard
ware store and bought a small pane of
glass, a glass cutter, some medium
sized wire nails, a quantity of putty
and a wire strainer with a handle.
When the articles were wrapped up,
Pickles took the bundle n said to
the clerk, Hell pay for it," pointing
to Chuck. OF course Chuck had to
pay under those conditions. They
called for the boards and at the mill
gathered some small waste pieces of
lath. Then they hurried to the
dock.
The boards were nailed together,
forming a long, tapering, wooden box.
| Putty was used literally to make the
seams water-tight. Then the glass
was fitted to the larger end n fixed
| in position with the strips of lath and
more putty. TITS all ready" said
Pickles as he put the finishing touches
on the instrument.

RoYs SWIM TO ISLAND

Charlie Hughes ana Brick Jones
did something yesterday that not
many of the boys of their age have
done; they swan over to the island.
Charlie having Swan from Gordon
street to the Yacht Club dock decid-
ed that he would make a try for the
island If some one would go with him
in a boat. Brick" Jones and Helen
Warren took a canoe and accompa-
MED Charlie over. The current was
pretty strong and he landed a little
above the old Billop house. When
Brick" Jones saw that Charlie could
do it he decided that he would do u
also, this time Charlie n Marvin
Smith padding. Brick" made the
island in good time.
Another feat OF the day was the
catching of sixty-seven crabs Off the
Yacht Club float by Warren and
Norman Weber. They went down 70
the dock at about II o'clock and
grabbed until 70. After dinner they
went down again and grabbed until

crabs that they catch and made sew

Advises Boys to
Begin With Small Trips

81 should not like to create in the
mind of any one a spirit of unrest, nor
influence him to find duty irksome
and the necessary confinement OF
school or shop irritating" Arthur f..
Rice thus opens his article THE Call
of the Open" in Boys Life for August.
I'VE cannot be in quest of pleasure al
ways, even though that pleasure be
innocent and profitable. In fact, l be-
lieve that the keenest joy in the open
m to him who goes out under the
blue sky with a sense of duty done,
of tasks completed, of well-earned
emancipation from toll. There is a
Chinese proverb to this effect: When
you have found a day to be idle be
idle for a day; and so l say, when
the proper time for relaxation and
recreation comes, there is no better
way of spending 1t than in the woods
and fields and mountains whether the
object is study, exercise or sport.
II advise modest beginnings sort
of preparatory course of small trips.
You might even begin in your back
yard, or garden, or orchard: for 1t Is
possible there may be things of inter-
est there which you have overlooked.
The value of foreign travel depends
a good deal on how much n knows
before he starts and in like manner
the acquisition Of accurate knowledge
concerning the out-of-door life near
to home adds untold pleasure to the
, wider study of II elsewhere"

BY CHIEF TAHAN
nc A n-sl~N

Many warriors made war against
us, and our warriors who were not
as many as theirs could not stand be-
fore them. Their warriors always
defeated us. So al last our fighting
men said, the medicine of the High
Hills warriors is stronger than ours,
and there is no use for us to fight
against it."
Then it was thai one of our young
men went away into a deep place of
the prairie and tasted and prayed for
a long time, and he fell into a kind
of sleep. AS he kept on praying in
his sleep a white bear came and told
him that the warriors of the High
Hills defeated ours because their
chief had a magic var club. Said
the bear to the young a Il will
tell you how to make a stronger
magic medicine than that of your
enemies, and with it you shall defeat
Them"
When the young man woke up he
did just what the bear told him. He
got a smooth stone about the size
of his fist and as long as his hand.
Then he found another one, but not
SO large. He took the first n in
his left hand and began to strike it
on the side near the end with the
other stone, breaking off a little of
the largest one every time he struck
1t. He kept on doing thai on every

Naval Scouts Get Old Cannon
Of Old Garfield Battery

Memories of the famous Garfield
Battery that was once the pride of
Perth Amboy will be revived the next
time there is a parade in this city
provided the Westminster Battalion of
Naval Scouts is invited to participate.
The old cannon that the Garfield boys
used to tug along wherever they went
and the salutes from which used to
rattle the windows of the houses here
abouts, has come into the possession
of the Westminster Battalion and a
! battery has been organized to take
charge of the field piece.
This battery has been organized in
addition to the drum corps which has
been the main feature of the navy
scouts since the battalion was organ
lied. There are now about twelve
boys in the battery and 1t is expect
ed to add to it's membership until
there are at least twenty-one lads ia
guard the old n These boys
will wear the same white sailors uni
form as the drum corps now wears
and will be identically the same as any
other member of the ava scouts.
With the temperance of the ole
cannon in the possession of the naval
scouts parents of some of the boys
who have their hands onthe ropes to
day will recall the days when they
too. with pride in their hearts, march
ed through the streets of Perth Am
boy as a battery organization. Thus
(, does the coming generation advance
to take it's place in the affairs of the
city. 1t is indeed a different city today
from what it was when Dad haul
ed the annon but it is the same
Perth Amboy spirit.
This new organization which Is
every bit worthy TO care for the IN
cient piece of artillery of which thu
city boasts, will hold o meeting to-
night in the Presbyterian chapel a
which time matters pertaining to this
welfare of the naval scouts will b.
: discussed.
