I happen to know something about miniatures, and, to my horror, recognized them. Do you remember the theft of the celebrated Vatican miniatures belonging to the duke of Melbourne?'

SOME LIVE EAGLES

Troop 15 of Buffalo has passed It's ten-year mark and still going stron- ger" One of the most interesting feat ures of it's organization is its Eagle Life patrol, into which regular troop members graduate on reaching the age of seventeen or on going away to col lege. These Eagle Life members meet quarterly and have their own officers, organization and constitution, but they also meet with the troop and partici- pate. at least three times year. in common program. Troop 15 has sew eral "big ideas" One of these is con tained in its slogan, college for all." At present the troop has 12 boys in college, nine of whom declare that they would not have gone to college fit had not been for the influence of Troop 15. Scholarships amounting to several thousand dollars have been se- cured through the Eagle scholarship bureau,
 Other Eagle departments are a voca- tional bureau, now in it's seventh year, which has filled a real need and been remarkably successful, travel bureau, which keeps records of journeys, with pictures and data, for the benefit of Eagles or their relatives travelling and the Eagle Troop development, estab- lished in 1917, which works through the individual Eagle keeping him ac- tive and interested in scouting. Some of the results of this service are: One Eagle scoutmaster, three Eagles (two of them members of the American Legion) all assistant scoutmasters of Troop 15, five Eagles. assistant scout masters in their respective college town, and another, an assistant scout master in the city in which he works.
 An extension educational scheme is also another bright idea of the enter prising Eagles. plan which looks to the encouragement of every Eagle to continue to study after graduation, and in general to enlarge his vision and keep his standards high. Certain annual hOnorS are awarded the Eagles at their June meeting. For instance, Eagle who has done the most worth- while work in literature during the year. The Eagle Heart is awarded that Eagle who has done the most during the year to aid in growth and progress of Troop 15. The White Eagle is awarded the Eagle who, out in the world best upholds the ideals of Troop 15 and the Boy Scouts of America generally for service.

WHAT SCOUTS ARE DOING.

In Kansas City boy scouts annually participate in the sanitary survey of the city conducted under the auspicies of the Health department. Over 800 scouts turned out last spring for this service which included census of fire hazards and health menaces throughout the entire city. Similar service is being rendered in many other cities by scouts.
 Among other things, Erie, Pa., scouts last year built bird houses, conducted a Learn-to-Swim campaign, contributed to the Marne Memorial, aided in Salvation Army and Com munity Chest drive. acted as aides at Rotary Club convention, decorated soldiers graves, co-operated with the state game warden in planting walnut trees and distributed invitations -te foreigners to attend Americanization classes.
 Troop 1 of Florence. Alabama. took school census. aided chamber of com merce in checking up Federal census, and instructed 2.5O0 people in the use and location of fire alarm boxes.
 Scouts of Bucyrus, Ohio. made an efficient collection of outstanding library books for the public library, conducted a cleanup in an old ceme- tery resetting stones and markers, acted as guides and messengers for over 400 delegates at the State Young Peoples conference
 Boy Scouts of Riverside, Cal. took tree census reporting not only number. but species and location of each. For five years past they have guarded and patrolled the trails lead Ing to the summit of Rubidoux Morn ing, on the occasion of the Easter sun rise service.

It was the signal for James Denny-the square -jawed ex-batman- to disappear into the back regions and get from his wife the kidneys and ba con which that most excellent woman had grilled to turn. But on this par ticular morning the invariable routine was broken. James Denny seemed preoccupied, distrait.
 Once or twice he scratched his head and stared out of the window with a puzzled frown.
 "What's you looking for, James Den- ny? The irate voice of his wife at the door made him look round guiltily. Them kidneys is ready and waiting these five minutes"
 Her eyes fell on the table, and she advanced into the room wiping her hands on her apron.

 "Forty-tive," returned her husband, grimly, land more to come" He picked up the newspaper lying beside the chair and opened It.
 ''Them's the result of that" he con tinued cryptically, indicating a para graph with a square finger, and thrust ing the paper under his wife's nose.

 A moment or two later Hugh Drum mond came in. Slightly under six feet in height, he was broad in proportion. His best friend would not have called him good-looking, but he was the for tunate possessor of that cheerful type of ugliness which inspires immediate confidence in it's owner.
 He paused as he got to the table and glanced at the rows of letters. Who would have thought it, James?" he re- marked. Great Scot I shall have to get a partner"
 With disapproval showing in every line of her face, Mrs. Denny entered the room, carrying the kidneys, and Drummond glanced at her with a smile

SCOUTS BUILD MOTOR TRUCK.

A scout is ingenious. If anybody doubts it, let him look at the motor truck which some thrifty boy scouts out in Maxwell, Iowa, have recently built out of junled automobiles, with the addition of a damaged stationary engine which they got at bargain. The car makes only ten miles an hour but 1t can and does carry b!g load of boys and their duffel when they wish to conveys themselves to camp and elsewhere. The hand-built car recently made the trip to the state fair with its owners where 1t aroused much interest.
