BOY
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Cou7cil Of the Boy
Scouts of America) rf
KEEPS SCOUTS BUSY

BY virtue of being kept on the spot
at the national capital, Washington
scouts find plenty of worthwhile good
turns TO do. A case in point Is the
strenuous and important service rem
dered In connection with the cere-
monial homage to the unknown dead.
From the moment the body of the I'M
known soldier was transferred from
the battleship Olympia to the capitol,
to the hour when the last of the ARMS
tice day crowd dispersed, the scouts
were on duty early and late. On the
Wednesday afternoon preceding ARMS
tce day they helped keep the line ut
the capitol In the drizzling rain. The
next morning large delegation, con-
sisting Of two scouts from each troop
contributing. acted as guard Of honor
to the boy scout wreath placed on the
bier Of the unknown soldier and from
noon until far into the evening other
scouts were on guard with the marines
and police. keeping the plaza clear and
the great throng moving In orderly pro-
cession. Early the next morning they
were again up and doing, taking their
appointed places along the avenue.
With the passing Of the parade, the
boys fell in with the throngs who
fiocked to Arlington, only to return
again to duty In the afternoon to help
direct the crowd gathered informally
to pay Its respects to Mr.. Wilson.
At the ceremonial Itself at Arlington
a picked body of scouts participated,
headed by Colin II. Livingstone, presi
dent Of the Boy Scouts Of America. and
accompanied by Huston Thompson
president of the local council, Orville
b. Drown, scout commissioners Tor
Washington and Edward ID. Shaw,
scout executive. As the wreath was
placed upon the bier the scouts, coming
to attention, repeated the scout oath
and law. Continuing during the whole
period Of the conference for the cen
sideration Of the limitation of arna-
ment, 100 scouts will be daily on duty
as pages, arrangements having been
made with the superintendent Of
schools to excuse them from school at.

While taking woodland hike,
group Of boy scouts Of Virginia city
perceived peculiar odor at their

of 1t at first and went on with their
scout activities as scheduled. AS time

scouts poklng into thicket Of tall
weeds discovered miniature still. The
boys FASTENED back to town and re-
ported their discovery to the federal
prohibition officer, who, guided BY
scouts. went to the spot and destroyed
whatever remained Of the moonshine

BOWLINE SAVES HORSE

The knowledge of how to tie the
right kind of a knot at the right time
and put it to the right use is some
thing every scout may be proud and
glad to possess. An incident in point
occurred recently when a group Of boy
scouts Of Troop 6, Manhattan, dis
covered a horse which, having broken
through an old bridge, was having
difficulty in keeping his head above
water terrified as he was and crushed
down by the weight of the debris
which had fallen on him in his ten
foot drop into the water. The boys
promptly got a rope and helped their
scoutmaster make a boWlne knot in
a moose and throwing it around the
horses neck, kept him above the cur
rent until he could be rescued. A
well-meanlng amateur attempting to
do the same thing might easily have
choked the animal by using. the wrong
kind Of knot.

NARY GRAHAM BONNER
sAMMYs CIRCUS WISH.

Sammy wanted to be a clown.
Clowns could be funny. Clowns did
not have to think hard, and thinking
hard was a great effort. Clowns
didn't have to practice for music les
sons When they played in the circus
they played wrong notes and everyone
laughed and clapped.
Clowns could say any silly old thing
at all and people thought they were
funny. At least it seemed that way,
Now the circus was coming to town
IN few days and Sammy was making
his plans.
He would get up very early. as he
always did when the circus came to
town and he would help unload and
he would help when they put up the
tent at the old fair grounds where
they always had the circus.
And then he would talk to one of
the clowns and he would tell him how
lie longed to be a clown and he would
explain that he had brought along a
bundle of clothes so that he would not
be a burden to them when he knew
they were busy travelling from town
to town.
He could just see the clown grin at
him and clap his knee and say:
We'll, you're the fine little manly
chap
Now on circus days Sammy's fam
lily had always allowed him to spend
the whole day at the fair grounds.
They had let him get up early to meet
the train. But he had always been

became Great Friends"

with group Of boys who had spent
the day together around the circus so
that Sammy's family didn't worry
about him.
The boys always stayed for the eve
ming show too. 1t was such fun to see
the tent when it was lighted at night.
But this time Sammy did not 90
with the other boys-or rather he left
the other boys early during the day.
Sammy's mother did not worry when
he did not come home to lunch. as she
knew it was circus day-she did not
know that he didn't mean to come
back at all
Yes, ne left the other boys and be-
came great friends with one of the
clowns. The clown was a particularly
uice cioWn-iust as jolly as he could
be, and everyone seemed to like him.
He played the cornet in the clowns
band and one of the things Sammy had
always wanted to do had been to play
the cornet. How wonderful to be
able to play it without practicing-
just blowing and playing any way
at all
He was invited by the circus people
to have dinner with them. How thrilled
he was but as he watched the dinner
cooking his appetite somehow left him.
The soup smelt of grease and the 10.
tatoes looked so unattractive in such
great numbers. And he didn't eat the
way the others did. They enjoyed
what they ate, it was true, but he
couldn't somehow enjoy their food.
There was so much of it. Not that
he had ever before complained of too
much food No, indeed no!
But this was too much. The pota-
toes were piled much too high; there
was so much of everything (for of
course there were so many people)
that it took away his appetite.
And then, too, the smell of grease
He didn't like that in the least.
But oh dear, oh dear, when he talked
to the clown lie found that one had to
practice to make funny mistakes.
They couldn't just be mistakes. They
had to be funny. And in order to
make them funny one had to practice.
Oh, yes, there was studying to do
even for the circus. 1t was hard work.
Entirely too hard work.
And after dinner when he watched
the performers going into the tent for
the afternoon show and bowling before
the people when their acts were over,
he began to care less and less about
being in the background of circus.
1t was in the audience where the fun
was. For when the performers came
out they didn't come with a dash and
a wave of the arms and a joyous shout
such as they did inside. As soon as
they got beyond where the people were
they all took it as part of a days
work aad not as though it were thrill
ing work.
Oh, no, Sammy would not join the
circus. For If he did he knew that the
circus would no longer be the thrilling
thing that it nov was but that it
would be work-iust like school and
such things And the circus must
never be like that to him. So he de
cided he would not join the circus,

whether or no he will not get to serve
because his time will have expired
while he was in the courts. Then
again if there is to be any school this
next term it would be far better to
straighten matters up now and let
things start to running normally once
more.
Judge Bates spoke again He said
that by the law the judge was not
forced to try a contested election dur
ing vacation and that it was left en-
tirely to his judgment of the case.
Furthermore the plaintiffs in the
case have had fully sixty days in
which to prepare their case while ne
has had but five.
Judge Falkner said that he was
very much in favor of giving plenty of
time and that five days is little
short to prepare a case of such inn
portance. But, on the other hand to
continue the case would be to the dis
advantage of the young people OF
that district. Therefore, although it
would be a pleasue to him to con-
tinue it to the September term OF
court, as he won't be here then. he
was going to allow them several more
days, and that if possible the attor-
neys might set the date.
They set September 7th as the date
Mr.. Falkner requesting that all jur-
ors and witnesses be present on that
date.
Mr.. Bryan then asked the judge
that the extra cost accrued be charg7
ed to the defendants and not be left
until the case was decided.
After Judge Bates had given his
grounds for objection, Judge Falkner
said he was in favor of the side de-
string the continuance paying the
extra costs but that he would reserve
his decision for the present.

STROUD GETS TEN YEARS IN
THE PEN

The case of the State of Mississippi
against ]. M. Stroud, charged with as
/ sault an dhighway robbery upon the
person of Mr.. j. B. Sanders little
over a year ago, was taken up in the
circuit court here Wednesday and car
ried to a conclusion. The evidence
was taken mostly Wednesday after
noon, resumed Thursday morning.
The case was given to the jury and
a verdict was rendered before noon,
which read, 1--WE the jury find the de-
PENDANT guilty as charged in the in
dictment."
1t will be remembered that this case
grew out fthe fact that quiet Sun
day morning about year ago, Stroud
drove to the home of Mr.. Sanders in
an automobile with a young lady, and
alighting from the car went to the
door and rang; Mr.. Sanders res
pended to the call and came upon the
veranda and was engaged in CONVEX

| in his pockets and left, was afterwards
apprehended in Corinth, brought back
to Bonneville and placed In the county
bastile. He was afterwards allowed
bail and was also required to give
bond in the sum of ten thousand dol
lars to keep the peace, having made
threats against the life of Mr.. San
ders. He failed to make these bonds
and has been in jail since that time.
i 1t seems that there was business
transaction between the two, in which
Stroud claimed Sanders owed him sew
eral hundred dollars which he was only
trying to collect.
Sometime before this Stroud was in
dicted for embezzlement in Marshal
county while handling some lumber
for Sanders in Holly Springs. He was
convicted on this charge and sentenced
to serve five years in the penitentiary
