Completely around the fence, Of
Farmer Browns henyard the young
Fox crept, looking for a hole through
which he might creep. but there was
no hole. All the time he took the
greatest care to keep below the top
Of the boards which ran around the
bottom Of the fence. Whenever he
stopped to peep in at those hens he
was careful to raise his head only
high enough to look over the boards.
By this time he had forgotten every.
thing but the desire to catch one of
those hens ana, like true Fox. he
was doing his best not to frighten
them. But when he had crept COM
pletely around that henyard without
finding a hole by which he could
get in he grew careless.
Perhaps he thought that If he
couldn't get in they couldn't get out
and therefore it wasn't necessary to
keep out of sight. Perhaps he

we wish to say to the retail trade
that eastern jobbing houses have

Wild Horses Of Sable island.


Ever since the dismal, failure to
colonize Sable island in, the Gulf OF. the
st. Lawrence, when Canada was New
France, there have been a. few domes-
tic animals on that bleak spot, relies
' of that Inflated attempt. Some horses
were among them, probably survivors
Of shipwrecks, for Sable island is a
dangerous place and bears the name
of the Graveyard of the Gulf, from
the number of gallant ships which
found their end whereabouts. The
horses multiplied and developed into a
rough hardy little breed Of ponies.
More than one hundred of these
wild native ponies persisted during the
last winter the government steamer,
Lady Laurier, reported the other day
when she arrived from trip to the
Atlantic graveyard. The covering Of
the island grass by drifting snow dur
ing stormy winterawas declared re-
sponsible for the deaths. It is likely
that another such winter will put an
end to this unique little horse colony.

arriving from a French port had ,in

portunity' to profit through the dry
condition of the United States. He
put in large stock of liquor, and
when the vessel arrived in New Or
leans had no trouble in getting in
touch. with purchasers. They agreed
to pay on delivery. -
The price was $4,000, The liquor
was passed, over the ships side in
the middle Of the night on to small
vessel alongside and the $1,000 given
to the officer The next day the seller
went to the bank to buy French en-
changes. A few, minutes later he was

How niq Is an EIeetron?

7 One very noteworthy experiment in
measuring anselectron was performed
by an American Professor Millikan of
Chicago. He Introduced a minute drop
Of oil of about HI ,OO0th inch in diam
eter in a chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control. The drop Of oil was strongly
Illuminated and was viewed with a
telescope. & BY controlling the poten-
tails Of the plates the oil drop could
be made to fall or rise at will. The
drop continually picked up and lost
electrons. AS it picked up an electron 1t
would move toward the positive plate.
BY carefully observing the action of the
drop of oil, Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
to it by Its picking up one electron.

GOOD SCOUT STUFF

Too young yet to be admitted to a
scout troop, eleven-year-old Reeve
(:eary of Far Rockaway has neverthe
less done everything in his power to
get ready for the great. event, when
his next birthday warrants his debut
into p the movement for which he
cherishes so ardent an enthusiasm. He
had nearly committed to memory the
official scout handbook, particularly
the chapter which deals with first aid
end life saving, and hero tales of boy
scouts thrilled him to the marrow. And
then, all of q Sudden, before he could
don the coveted scout uniform. he
found himself called upon to dc, 9. deed
which for cool.headedness would have
done credit to any eagle scout. This
is what happened Reeve and his eight
year~old brother, John, together with
two other youngsters were playing on
the shore at the foot Of Clinton ave
nue., Jamaica Bay. Reeve was on the
beach while the other three clambered
about in a motor boat which was
anchored near oy.s Suddenly ITO his
horror, he saw John lurch over feet
first into the deep water, Instantly
Reeve was in the boat. Calling to. his
brother not to bs afraid, he hung his
legs over the edgn Of the boat into the
water telling the Younger lad to catch
on. to him. Bat ], John was too
frightened to heri instructions and
instead of getting hold Of his brothers
feet went down mo the water. Reeve
dived after him and as soon as he
came to the surface got him to shore,
with the help Of his companions. True
to the scout ideals, though he isn't
vet scout, Reeve told no one but his
parents about the accident.

TO CO. OPERATE WITH. SCOUTS.

Alvin M. Owsley, director tof>the Ma
tional Americanism commission of, the
American Legion met recently in con-
ference with the executive officers Of
the Boy Scouts of America at their ma
tional headquarters, New York city, to
develop plans for an intensive effort
on the part Of the American Legion
to strengthen the work of the. Boy
Scouts of America throughout the
United States. Mr.. aOwsley explained
that pursuant to; the action of the ma
tional convention at Kansas City, and
following recent person 1testigation
by the national commander, Hanford
; MacNider, the American Legion would
Immediately begin, the evelopment of
plan whereby the American Legion
posts in all communities where there
are not Boy Scouts would be asked; to
sponsor the organization OF q troop,
and in other communities tos;co-oper-
ate with existing troops in the
strengthening of their work. Already
the American Legion has sponsored
the organization of Sc troops. Com
mander MacNider has issued a strong
appeal to all Legion posts to cooper
ate with the local councils and various
troops throughout the country, and has
suggested the idea Of posts adopting
one or more troops especially in those
neighborhoods. where the under-priv-
ileged boy lives. 81 =. - s..
The American Legion now has II 600
posts. organized in all parts Of the
United States The Boy Scouts Of
America has $4,000 troops organized
in 400 different communities. There
are 6,6OO communities in the United
States which do not have any troops,
and it is hoped by the officers OF the
Boy Scouts of America, through the
cooperation Of the American Legion,
to especially reach these communities.
1t was explained by the chief scout ex-
ecutive, James E. West, that for the
most part these communities are in
the rural parts Of the country where
there has been a lack. Of resources in
developing the leadership necessary to
secure the troop committee and scout
master, and the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea for this reason are particularly APP
preciative Of the interest Of the Amer
lean Legion in undertaking this extern
sion Of their program. Sat the present
time the membership Of the Boy Scouts
of America numbers 100000 boys and
10000 men giving service on volun-
teer basis. It is hoped by co-opera-
ton, with the American Legion this
. membership will be substantially In
creased within the next year. =
