BOY SCOUTS

There are hikes and hikes; bird
hikes, tree hikes, overnight hikes
and bicycle hikes. All are we'll ac-
quainted with. but a salamander
hike is a comparatively new form.
IL seems that n~aturalists have Just
discovered that very little has ever
been found out concerning salaman-
ders and therefore they sent out a
nationwide call for specimens to
study. From all over the country
the Boy Scouts have sent specimens
to the museums interested in the
work AMI Perth Amboy scouts are
not tagging behind.
On April 8 first class scouts of
Troop s with Scoutmas.er Abegg
went on q salamander hike. but did
not finf a single specimen. On
April IL. however. four first class
scouts of Troop 6 on a hike near
Bonhamtown succeeded in capturing
a large nlmber Of salamanders rep
resentinS four species: the two
lined. red. red-backed and dusky.
One of the scouts, ROLAND Main.
personally took them to the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History on
Saturday. The director of the De-
partment Of Herptology accepted the
specimens and expressed a wish that
the scouts look out in particular for

FINANcIERING OF HIGH ORDER
Any Man Can Do II Who Has Friends
Who viii Lend Him Three Hun
dred and Fifty Thousand.

A certain rich man took out life In
surance for $35O,OOO at $1,000 n year.
Speculation lost for him every cent he
possessed. He so worried about his af
fairs that his physician warned him he
could live only seven years longer.
II shall willingly die at the end Of
seven years." said the man. "if 1 can
live easily and comfortably and with
out mental burden during that time,
and can die free from debt, with suf-
ficient wealth to erect a stately tomb
stone."
He interviewed seven friends. He
obtained written pledges that each Of
these seven would lend him $35O.OO0
for one year at per cent interest,
each loan to be made a year In ad-
vance Of the one preceding.
He then borrowed $3.50. 900 from the
first man. He lived comfortably the
first year on $4,000, paid his $1,000
for life insurance, paid his $2S,0OO in
terest-and had $3O5, 900 left. File
then borrowed $35O,OOO from the sec-
ond man In order to pay back the first.
At the end of the second year. after
subtracting yearly expenses. insurance
and interest totaling $45,OO0, he had
100000 left. He then borrowed $780,
600 from the third man in order to
pay back the second.
At the end Of the third year, still
living comfortably on $4,000. still
mentally free, he had $215.OOO Of the
first loan left to his account. Money
from the fourth man paid his debt to
the third.
At the end Of the fourth year. after
similar deductions, he had $4,000; at
the end of the fifth year. $125,OOO; at
the end Of the sixth, $4,000; at the
end of tho seventh, $4,000.
At the end of the seventh year he
died. Life insurance of $35O.OOO paid
his debt to the seventh man.
Seven years before he had not had a
cent to his name. For seven years he
had lived easily, comfortably, without
mental burden. At the end OF seven
years, without having turned his hand
to work, he had spent $4,000 upon
himself; had made seven friends richer
by $4,000; and had died free from
debt, with $35, 900 clear to purchase a
stately tombstone.
What shall be engraved upon this
tombstone-"A Wise Man?' The man,
himself, upon his deathbed, gave the
order for these three words.
But he had paid. He had paid with
life.-Kansas City Star.

IN SHADE OF HIMALAYAS
Majestic Panorama Displayed When
the Gray Clouds Break and Re-
veal the Great Mountain.

Northward from Darjeeling the
view Of the Himalaya mountains Is
inspiring. When the gray clouds break
they reveal crystal ramparts. lifting
far to east and west. and a majestic
panorama of range beyond range In
the blue distance. The primeval for
est no longer extends to the snow
line. There are bare spots and grain
fields and hundreds of tea gardens
But the farther mountains are
clothed with great trees and with a
tangle Of ferns and creepers. bamboos,
climbing palms and wild flowers. The
hill tribes living In these solitudes are
very dissimilar In features. dress and
habits. but alike In their half-supersti-
tious awe Of their great mountains
and in their quiet friendllness. Some,
times a woman from the Himalaya
forests appears In the Darjeeling mar
ket place, bearing on her back, 1t
may be, bundle Of fagots for FIRE
wood. a burden less beautiful to west,
ern eyes than armfuls of scarlet
rhododendron blossoms or strange
hued orchids would be, but no less
precious to the heart Of a dweller In
a land of unceasing rain.-From "In
the Darjeeling Market-Place," By
Marietta Nen, In Asia Magazine.

When they were all assembled In

Halloween at
Helen's
By RUBY DOUGLAS

g. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
Come to a Halloween party at
Helen's." That was all there was on
the Invitation cards and they had been
received by all of the members Of the
young dancing set and many Of the
younger married persons of the town.
"Helen-Helen who?" asked every
one else This was indeed carrying out
to letter the mysterious atmosphere
that had been woven about the night
called Halloween.
There was only one man in the town
who seemed to feel that he knew who
Helen was. There had been a Helen
In his life five years before, but she
had gone to live in Sorrento, Italy, in
a villa overlooking the bay Of Naples.
They had Quarreled over their differ
ences of temperament, and she had
sailed away to live her own life in
what she believed was her own ro-
mantle way. She wrote stories for a
living, such as It was. He had seen
her name from time to time, but he
had never had a line from her pen
since she left.
The little invitation cards created
no end Of fun In the town and every
one was trying to find out where the
party was to be held.
''Do you know OF a Helen, George?"
asked Grace Pennington.
George Morton shook his head.
"NO-o. I DON'T" he said. hesitatingly.
'At least. not here" he added.
The girl laughed. "Oh-h-then
there Is Helen-somewhere
The man was non-cOmmittal.
In the course of a few days, further
cards arrived. "FollOw the Hectic
highway"
The plot thickened. but the day be-
fore Halloween a number Of arrows
appeared on posts and trees. ITO the
Hectic highway" they read. But they
ended at four crossroads and not until
Halloween did the other arrows ap-
pear.
Those invited had decided to meet

DO MORE THAN GUARD SHEEP
Dogs Of Scotland Are Also the Com
panlons and Protectors Of the
crofter Children.

The sheepdogs Of Scotland arc
guides and defenders not only Of the
sheep docks. but also the children Of
the cr0fters. Were Ii not for these
shaggy. intelligent fellows, born shep-
herds Of the weak and defenseless, It
would be unsafe for the children to
go far from the lonely and isolated
crofts in the outlying districts. The
schools are far distant and 1t Is q long.
rough journey across the moor from
home to school and back again. And
SO the sheepdog goes along with them
and safe-conducts them to and fro.
Moreover, he must carry the books for
them, for the little folk would be un-
equal to the task of carrying any ex-
ira weight in the long tramp. Over
the dogs back the books are slung
and no one need worry for the safety
Of the children or their belongings
The sheepdog knows his duty and is
proud and eager to do 1t.
The rural libraries established by
the Carnegie trust are also using the
dogs In distributing books among the
homes Of the crofters. In fact. II
would scarcely be possible for the in
habitants whose crofts are so far from
the library centers to share In this
great benefice. were there not the
sheepdOgs to act as librarians. Good
literature for the elders as well as the
children is dispatched and returned
on the sturdy backs of these reliable
dogs.

They reached the crossroads

one Of seven in George Morton's big
