Editor the Tribune:
Dear Sir:
In the peoples Forum" tonight
saw where it was mentioned that
Bismarck had a man hired to act
as scout master for the Bismarck
boys. wish to: state that Mr.. Mac
Leod is not q scout master. The
seoutmasters Of the Bismarck scouts
are S. O. LeBarron, B. NJ. Dunn. and
F. J. Grady Of troops No. l. No. 2,
and No. 6 respectively, these men are
serving as scoutmasters entirely
without compensation. Mr.. Macleod
gives very little time to the scouts
in comparison to that he gives to
other boys. OF course, he is inter-
ested lin them as he 10 interested in
all boys organizations and the scouts
fully appreciate Mr.. MacLeod's work
in the behalf .otYthem. =.
The Boy Scouts of Bismarck have
received, as far as I know, no money
directly except Though the churches
that sponsor them and through indi-
vid1als. The scouts here have been
in existence since 1913 and. all this
time they have been financially in
dependent.
I The scouts wish to make it clear
that they appreciate any assistance
offered.

MAGNUS AND HENRICUS

Senator Lodge and Senator John-
son have collogued, through the
kind offices Of Senator Smoot,
with the happiest results. Mr..
Lodge, always impressive, was
greatly impressed" Mr.. John
son found his Nahant friend "a
fine gentleman" Among other
things they talked of genealogy, a
leading American industry, and
found common sympathies there
in. On the spindle side Mr.. john
son is a New Highlander, his wife
being a descendant of General
Israel Putnam. On the spindle
side Mr.. Lodge comes from the
Cabots, an earnest, a numerous,
if a comparatively new, Bay State
patrician clan. When Henry Adams
was one of the editors of the old
North American Review. he wrote
an it if that ''in the Massachusetts
sense "tka Adamses are hardly
family at all They came to
distinction in the eighteenth CEN
fury, like the Lowells, and, in
less degree, the Cabots, to whom
a popular hymn gives glory not
historically deserved.
The Quincys, Saltonstalls, Win
throps, would be rated genealog' =.
ally as aaA. The Cabuts would
hardly get higher rating than =,
good, but not "gilt-cdged." If Mr..
Lodge and Mr.. johnson didn't go
into the heart Of these delicate
diff rcntiations, at least they may
have thought about another geneal-
ogical bond or stock. Scandinavian
Johnsons were the ancestors Of the
American and English tribe. Isaac

No doubt Mr.. Lodge will be as good

Hiram. Magnus is good fellow,

Mr.. Lodge thoughtfully Offered

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By Olive Roberts Barton

Everybody quiet!" cried Dick Red
Cap, the town crier, loudly.
"Here come the Riddle; Lady and
the Twins!" announced Humpty
Dumpty, the mayor Of Riddle Town.
Just then the Riddle Lady arrived.
and> searching in one of her big
pockets, she found the riddle she
had just composed. As there were
no very hard words in it, she asked
Nancy to read it, So Nancy took the
paper and read as . loudly as she
could:
"Old Mother Mendit is long. sharp
and thin,
She spends most of her time going
out and then in,
Without much of a dress you'll be
quite sure to find her,
Except for a train that she drags far
behind her.
"They say that her living she earns
by fine sewing,
And out to her work she is con-
stantly going.
But though it may be that her ma
lures quite pushin,'
Yet most of the time she's at home
in her cushion.
Gossip has it, my dears, and it's
made quite stir,
That she doesn't take sewing, but
sewing takes her!
And it does seem too silly that she
should 60 bare,
When she makes clothes for others
with kindness and care.
"The train that she wears Cor the
trains, should say
She changes u hundred and ten time.
!, q day.
; mot that she's conceited or boastfu
or vain,
! But she gives them away over ant
over again.
"Her heart must be warm, though
they say tbs Of steele,
And although she is sharp, she mos
kindly must feel.
, For she gives every stitch that sh
81 has to her back,
And comes home with nothing, ala
and alack!
8 "Some people say she just work
!. when she's driven,
So often kind acts fail and no thank
Z ere given.
