"Let Well Enough
Alone" Soldier Sdus

An American Red Cross nurse serv-
ing in a French hospital where Amer
ican wounded had been sent was on
duty in her ward, when a couple of
French nurses arrived in a somewhat
excited state.
Come quickly! The American boy
in our ward has something the mat
ter with his leg. Every time we move
it he says something, and we cannot
understand.
When the nurse arrived at the bed
side of the American, there were a
couple of orderlies, several more
French nurses and a convalescent pa
tient or two trying to do something
to his leg, which was in a cast.
Whats the matter with it?" asked
the nurse.
Nothing. For the love of Mike,
call them off. / only tried to tell
them it was comfortable"

Troop Is Plans Hike
to "Hut" Tomorrow

Our meeting last week was rather
short owing to the open house at
Tech. Sixteen.fello were present.
The devotional part of the meeting
was in honor of Mr.. Garfield Meal
lister, whose funeral took place last
Saturday. Many of our fellows went
on a hike with him last November
and we have a keen recollection of
him. Mr. Wieland had two new ways
to tie the Glove hitch and every one
present got busy with a rope and
worked until he learned them. We
closed at $50 after transacting some
necessary business. The organiza-
ton of the signal corps and the
adoption of the rules. was postponed
until more were present. Our meet
ing tonight will be an outdoor one,
as the basement is being used for a
big supper. There will be q hike
tomorrow, weather permitting. The
destination will be The Hut" which
we haven't seen for over q month.
Meet at the Square at 1.30, fourteen
cents carfare, we hope to be back
not later than $50. No meeting on
May 30th. We've had a busy month
and so we feel that we can skip a
meeting.

Scouts Regret to Hear
of McAllister's Death

Every Scout and Scout official in
this vicinity will regret the untimely
death of Mr.. McAllister, formerly
the head of Troop 4, of Emmanuel
Presbyterian Church, Sixteenth and
Liberty streets. The writer knew

feels the loss most keenly. Asso-
ciated as schoolmates and later in
The Scout movement, then in its in

hiking GiEiG3ce of Harrisburg that
doesn't call to Ha!nd memories of
him-Orr's bridge, Lambs Gap,
Manada Gap, HummelsSawR cave,
Lookout rock, Clark's Valley, York
hills, and so on.
One of the best Scoutmasters the
city ever had, he was known by
most of his boys as Mac" Rarely
did they call him Mr.. McA1lister,
and a more loyal and obedient body
of boys would be hard to find. The
fact that Harrisburg has a local
council is due in large measure to
his efforts.
Steady, conscientious in every
thing, he spent his life in the ser
vice of others-"Greater love hath
no man than this"
He will be sadly missed by all of
us. To his splendid wife and his
dear little sons we extend our most
heartfelt sympathy.

stalled in the troop as senior patrol
leader at the last meeting.
Troop has a cabinet which con-
sists of the Scoutmaster and his as
sistants, the chaplain, the senior pa

and their assistants. There was
100 per cent. attendance at the last
meeting of the cabinet which was
held Wednesday evening at the home
of Scoutmaster Jenkins. Many i'm
portant matters of the troop were
discussed after which refreshments
were served. We decided at that
meeting that we would go to Lambs
Gap on Thursday evening of the
goth and come back on the evening
of the 31st which is Saturday. The
eats will be taken up to the gap on
a truck which will be furnished by
Mr.. Wallace. Each scout will carry
his own personal equipment which
should include blankets, poncho, tin
plate, cup or bowl, knife, fork, spoon
and any other things which he
thinks are necessary. The Scout
master insists that no gum bands,
water guns, bananas, or pickles,
and not much candy shall be taken.
This hike will be explained at the
next meeting.

leader and George Bowman, his as

AROUND THE CAMP FIRE

story teller along with you when you
go to camp. 1 know that we do and
say if you don't believe me, listen
to one of his stories.
The Pokonockets had started to
move to their new hunting grounds.
This tribes emblem was a black
bear, and every time the council met,
the medicine man had to go in the
woods and come awaddling in-a bear
skin. A hunter by the name of Bill
Sutter lived in the locality to which
this camp had moved. The young
warriors finding that they had COM
paaF in this hunter thought they
would have ssSy7zc fen some night and
later take his scalp into camp and
receive glory from the older A5cm-
bers. Bills hut was in a small clear
ing by a stream. The summer was
nearly over and the young warriors
had not succeeded in getting a chance
at Bills scalp. One night when they
thought that he was off his guard
they started for his hut but when
they thought that they were very
quiet a miss step had made a little
noise and Bill was on his guard

OUR FEATHERED FRIENDS
Nv G. L. NJ.


Have you ever thought of the
tragic and pathetic stories that are
found in bird life? When your pet
house cat has been quick enough to
seize the father of a bird family
have you thought of the little ones
in the nest who are awaiting the
fathers return with food? Have you
ever considered what must be the
feeling of the little mother who is
driven from her nest and must stand
helplessly by as a young boy steals
her eggs or as she sees another bird
destroy her eggs, or worse yet, delib-
erately kill her tiny babes? These
are some of the tragedies of the
woods.
You will recall that you have very
rarely seen a dead bird lying on the
ground unless it is the victim of it's
own rashness in coming north too
soon. Birds have extremely varied
appetites and what one bird would
consider it's main sustenance could
not be found by another; or If 1T could
be found, would be ignored. Birds
which get their insects from the
air are usually the last to arrive in
the north. If after such birds arrive,
unreasonable weather should set in,
many would die of starvation as in
sects do not fly in cold weather.
There is however only a small num-
Der of birds perish in this manner.
Many of the tragedies in bird life
are due to the thoughtlessness of
boys rather than to any desire to
kill. Let me tell you of a tragedy
which I never shall forget. I was
walking through the woods when 1
noticed a nest which hung very low.
1 was anxious to get a view of it's
inhabitants and with very little effort
climbed to a point from which L look
ed down on one of the most pitiful
sights 1 have ever seen. In the nest
were a mother and three young cat
birds-dead. Some young hunter had
deliberately shot through the bottom
of the nest and killed the mother
bird as she guarded her young OFF,
spring. The three babes had starved
to death under their mothers dead
body.
Here was happy little family of
mans friends wiped out by the un-
thinking act of some ignorant man or
boy.

Aeld McAllister organized Troop 4
at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church,
with Is Scouts. He gradually work.
ed the troop up to Sc Scouts but
found that was too large crowd of
boys to handle without assistants, so
he allowed the membership to
dwindle to "a, which is about the
present membership.
The troop was conducted so sue
cessfully under his leadership that
there was always a large waiting
list of candidates for membership
His heart and soul were in Troop
and his enthusiasm for the boys
never waned during the six years he
was Scoutmaster. He held the dis
tinction of having served more years
as Scoutmaster than any other man
in the city. Under his leadership
the troop has never lost enthusiasm
for it's work. He taught us the true
spirit of Scouting.
At the outbreak of the war he
was very anxious to enlist but was
~ejected on account of physical dis
ability. Not discouraged, however,
he Joined the service of the Y. M.
C. A., and in December, 1917, was
called to Camp Sewer, N. c., where
he served until his zeal caused him
to overwork himself and he was
given a leave of absence. His love
for the work caused him to return
before he had fully recovered, but
he was able to remain only short
time. He tried to regain his health
at a sanitarium, where he died on
May "a. His loss will ever be felt
by the troop, and our sincerest sym
pathy is extended to his wife and
children.
