In the legend, Duchess Isabella,
wishing earnestly to obtain some
object, was instructed by the crafty
court astrologer to kiss day by day
for hundred days certain beau
tiful picture, and she would receive
the fulfillment of her wish. 1t was
a sinister trick, for the picture con-
tanned a subtle poison which stain
ed her lips with every salutation.
Little by little the golden tresses of
the queenly woman turned white,
her eyes became dim, her color fad
ed, her lips became black; but, in
fatuated, the suicidal kiss was con-
tinued until before the hundred
days were complete, the royal dupe
lay dead. So we yield ourselves to
the sorcery of sin. Despite many
warnings, we persist in our fellow
ship with what seems truth, beau
ty, liberty, pleasure, until our
whole soul is poisoned and destroy
ed. Sin, when it is finished, bring
eth forth death.-The Mite Society

SMYRNA TROOP
OF BOY SCOUTS
Four New Members Added at
Last Meeting-Finances
Reach Quota
GROWING INTEREST HAD

On Monday evening March End,
the Smyrna Boy Scout Troop met
at it's headquarters for its weekly
meeting. Following the prelimin-
ary opening and the business of the
meeting transacted, MI. Foster gave
a talk emphasizing the fact that
the troop re-register this month
and hopes to have the registration
in by the 18th. The yearly regis
tration fee is fifty cents. All boys
twelve to fourteen years of age
are welcome into the troop and
should come to the meetings so
they may get a glimpse of Scout
ing before the registration for the
coming year The troop has pur-
chased some project material and
is going to start projects in handi-
crafts and leathercraft. Patrol
leaders announced their patrol
meeting night for the coming
week The meeting closed with taps
and Scoutmaster's benediction. 1t
is the hopes of the Scoutmaster
and his assistant to have an en-
rollment of thirty-two boys for the
coming year. In America, the Boy
Scout organization is based upon
three principle fundamentals. These
fundamentals are character build
ing, citizenship training and Amer
icanization. 1t is the promotion of
such fundamentals through which
American citizens are made. Scout
ing developes responsibility by the
patrol system, boy leadership,
camping, advancement and the
Scout Spirit" Scout spirit is
contagious and when once it is ac-
quired it puts very powerful in
f1uence into the character building,
iobjectives of Scouting how
difficult it is for Scoutmasters to
carry through the program of
Scouting unless 100 per cent at
tendance at meeting is attained.
Parents of Scouts should realize
the necessity of regular attendance
at scout meetings. All scouts
should have the hearty cooperation
of parents in their scouting activit-
les, whether they be hikes, camping
out or transportation. Parents of
scouts should not only be interest
ed in making the acquaintance of
the Scoutmaster, Assistant Scout
master, and the junior officers of
the troop. Thus by a friendly
spirit of understanding, united
shoulder to shoulder, the scouting
organization will increase tremend-
ously producing finer, greater,
/ cleaner American citizens It is
the duty of the parents to support
this great boys organization.
