This is written for the best
and most useful body of boys Of
Baton Rouge, boys for whom L
entertain the very highest re-
gard, with a sincere appreciation
of their manliness, good conduct
and usefulness on all occasions
of public interest-the Boy
Scouts. It is to convey to these
fine lads a knowledge Of the
deeds of boys during the Civil
War. OF course, | can write on
ly of boys Of the South, particu-
larly of those of Baton Rouge
whose names remain among u.s..
Presumably, northern boys per-
formed the same deeds as gal
lantly and heroically as ours but
I am not familiar with deeds Of
Federals.
Parents of boys of fourteen or
fifteen years Of age left at home
when local companies were or
dered elsewhere had a severe
time in restraining the ardor OF
the youngsters and in keeping
them at home until old enough
to endure the hardships of "a
soldiers life. Even, then, not
withstanding the vigilance of
parents, many escaped and made
their way to Confederate COM
mands where even though OF,
fcers refused to enroll them at
once they would linger around
until finally accepted.
When the Federals occupied
Baton Rouge they threw a cor
don of picket-guards from the
upper part Of the corporation
line at the river to the lower, in
consequence Of which young
sters found it a difficult matter
to leave town and began resort
ing to every imaginable expedl-
ent to do so.

cement by which the bristles are held

The brush, therefore, should not be
covered with water, but should be
washed by sousirg the bristles back
and forth in shallow water; it should
be dried with the bristles down or
with the weight resting on the side
Of the brush. The drying should be
done quickly, but not In an intense
heat. Drying in sunshine whitens light

used in polishing floors should be
