HALE, SAM WINSLOW, the well

gresham from Mass, and others.
Found that while Maine has been
dry ever since Noah landed at Old
Orchard, the Maine folks have a
habit of getting loaded on what IS
known as "Old Hen" home made
beverage that costs Is cents q gallon
and has a wonderful kick. When

down to the village store and drink
vanilla extract. l saw one farmer
drinking it. 1 like it better in Ice

Scout Movement.
A tablet at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association in Birkenhead, Eng
land, commentaries the fact that in
that edifce the Boy Scout movement
was publicly inaugurated eleven years
ago today, January "a, 1908. Since
then the movement has spread to
twenty-seven countries, and large and
enthusiastic bodies of scouts may
now be found all over Europe, Aus
tralia, South Africa, North and South
America, as we'll as In Japan, and they
have all rendered invaluable service
during the war which has Just come
to a close. Lieut.. Gen. Sir Robert
Baden-Powell was the father OF the
Boy Scout organization. but prominent
men in many nations have since given
their aid and influence to the spread
ing of the movement. In Canada the
Duke of Connaught was largely in
strumental in enlisting the youngsters
of the Dominion. In the United States
President Wilson is honorary presi-
dent Of the Boy Scouts, while Former
President Taft is honorary vice presi-
dent. as was the late Col. Roosevelt.

When Manuel fled he had nothing
but the clothes in which he stood.
He was married in 1908 to Princess
Augustine Victoria of HohenZollern,
of q remote branch of the kaiser's
family. She had a dowry of 100000
and they bought a residence near
London which had once been that of
Sir Walter Scott, and settled down.
War taxes and war hardships made
them actually poor, but prize rabbits,
fat geese and a fine garden have kept
them from suffering.
Now If the revolution in Portugal
succeeds, Manuel will come back to
his throne, a Hohenzollern will be
queen when Hohenzollern stock is low
and Portugal will be going from in
stead of toward democracy.

LONDON, England, Jan. 24-From
raising cabbages and geese, Manuel is
called to q throne.
OF course the call is not a strong
one-not yet. And Manuel has once
been declared unworthy by the people
OF Portugal who deposed him and set
vi a republic.
But the royalists of Portugal now
believe they are strong enough to call
him back and have proclaimed the
monarchy at Oporto.
Manuel's affair with Gaby Deslys,
the dancer, was the talk of the world
and on her he lavished his fortune.
THE affair is also credited with being
the cause of his downfall.

 In connection with arbitration the con, ference has considered whether an award should be compulsory by Ia" on potn sides: whether it should be open 10 the voluntary acceptance by the persons in volved. or whether such legal sanction should be given that certain civil disaoii- ities would be incurred by the refusal of it.
 Compulsory arbitration, Mir King said, emphatically on behalf of the conference has not vet been under consideration py the conference. ,
