Also they were reminded of the coming Court of Honor to be held at Huntley sometime during this month. And of course, each Scout was "keyed" to his highest, when told that he should bring his father to the American Legion Hall for a "feed" on Wednesday evening at 7:15 sharp. A proposition was put up to the boys. Something on this order, "If half the Troop subscribes for the 'Boys Life' magazine at the time of re-registration, each subscription may be had for one dollar, which is a saving of one dollar on each subscription." An ordinary subscription costs $2.00 a year. If the above turns out OK, the troop will have its re-registration taken care of free as far as the boys are concerned. f On Monday evening, May 19, 1930, at 6:45 p. m. sharp, all Scouts that wish, may go on a boat and canoe hike up the river. Lunch is to be made and eatep in the woods. A camp fire will be built, and weird stories of ghosts, detectives and their troubles, and so on will be told around the fire. The boys will leave from the pier back of Karls' restaurant and will stay together on both to and from trips. *T"lfc L. Schoenholtz, Scoutmaster. Pint Slaves ia America In August, 1619, a Dutch vessel, said to be a man-of-war or a privateer from Flushing, sailed up the James river to Jamestown, Virginia, and landed slaves there. According to various authorities, the Colonial government purchased them in exchange for food and supplies, and sold them in turn to private settlers. There is no record of the name of the purchasers. Mayflower Memorial The Provlncetown memorial was unveiled on August 5, 1910.

T"\R. KIXMORE looked out from his office window upon the carpet of green lawn that stretched from his house to the fine old white Maltland mansion next door. It was very smooth and very green--only five or six yellow dandeiion blooms marring the perfect verdure. Doctor Klnmore sighed. He had seen a dozen or more patients in his office and he had a call to make at the hospital. A few years ago when he was just beginning his practice there In Dunmere he would have envied any doctor with so brisk a practice. But now he sigheti. That afternoon, instead of going straight from the hospital to bis home to see what messages awaited him, be turned his car toward the open country outside Dunmere. Presently he came to a green field richly dotted over with yellow and here and there patches of white mist between. He -pulled to the side of the road, stopped his ca? and alighted. He spent the next quarter of an hour gathering the dandelion blossoms. He pushed them Into an envelope he produced from his pocket and then, getting back into his car, he drove home. It was after nine that night when he had given a word of encouragement to bis last office visitor. A moon gleamed faintly through* the clouded sky, and, making sure th&t his housekeeper was in her room. Doctor Kinmore went stealthily out to his lawn Und there proceeded to strew the dandelion blossoms that he had gathered. Early the next n\orning, while Doctor Kinmore was lingering over his breakfast before going Into his office, he glanced out the window. And there he saw a girlish figure in pink bending down with a tiny, sharp trowel In her hand. Doctor Klnmore Jumped up from the table and hurried through the long French window out to the lawn. "There are only a few more dandelions left now," said the girl, looking up to him. **Aunt Nellie is delighted. But I certainly have worked hard getting them out." Tom Klnmore was looking suddenly serious. "But of course there might be more dandelions," he said. "Sometimes the seeds blow from quite a distance, and at this time of year--" He paused and looked rather eagerly at her. "I shall miss seeing you more than I can tell. When I'm sitting there in my office, I look out and there I see you--now bending, now rising, now kneeling. It Is very beautiful-- and there is so little that Is beautiful in my profession." Then looking at he»{ be said: "Do you remeniber the time last month when you and your aunt called to ask me about the dandelions? Tou were wearing a pink dress then--too." * Helen laughed. "Wasn't it funny? Aunt Nellie and 1 hud Just come from the city. A-unt Nellie hadn't been in the old house since quite a long time before you .came. She'd sent a gardener on to get the lawn and garden in order, and. the gardener had said that so long as you were so careless about your place, letting the weeds grow so, he never could get the dandelions out of Aunt Nellie's lawn." And I was afraid of your Aunt Nellie," laughed Tom. "Remember how she asked me whether I'd have my lawn fixed up and 1 said I didn't see what difference -It made to her? And then she asked me if I'd mind having her gardener mow my lawn and having you dig out the dandelions in between? Well, at least I've had my own land mowed." "And I've dug out the dandelions. But this," said Helen, lifting a longrooted green weed with a bright yellow bloom, "this Is the last of them." "I say. Miss Maitland," Tom called, as she started away. "I want to tell you something." He strode over to where she stood on her aunt's green sward. "I've planted a lot of dandelion seeds. There will be a big crop in. a few weeks. Tou'll have to come hack, Helen. I couldn't endure the thought of not seeing you out there-- bending and kneeling and walking about--Helen, I love you.'* Helen, standing there before him, was blushing deeply. "But don't you think it Is very, very unconventional telling me that here--without calling on met" "I haven't dirtd call," said the doctor. "Neither yotf nor your aunt have asked me. Helen, dear, I do love you--and I don't want to come and see you unless you think you could like me a little." "But I do like Ton--love yon--a great deal right now," said Helen, and then turned away her pretty face in confusion. "Se please come in and tell my aunt you want to be friends." He!en fled toward her own front door and as she went she called back: "But I'm not going to dig out the new crop of dandelions unless you help iMitP (Coprrislki.) Hair as Pouom Test The hair is one of the most valuable objects for analysis in cases of suspected arsenic poisoning. Testing of the hair is particularly valuable as a check on whether the poisoning resulted from a single large dose or small and repeated doses. The poison does not appear tn the hair until many hours after it has been taken into the body, and therefore a test of the hair in acute cases will reveal, in a general way, the Interval of time that has elasped between the swallowing of the poison and the tipe of treatment or death.1 DARING THIEF NABS FORTUNE IN JEWELS MMquerades »> - Jails Victim. ; Rome.--An unknown German cobbler once leaped into fame by dressing In the uniform of an officer of the Prussian guard and marching at the head of a detachment of soldiers Into the village of Koepenkjk, where he raided the municipal treasury. Since that time "the Cobbler of Koepenick" has been a general expression the world over. Now his famous exploit has been matched by a daring thief in Rome who masqueraded as a captain of carabineers and not only nibbed a Jeweler of upward of $100,000 worth of gems, but succeeded in having his victim locked up in a jail. The jeweler, Ettore Menichlnl, was sitting in his store with his son and two other members of his family when the "captain" walked In, followed by a "sergeant" of carabineers, who carried a large leather suitcase. The leader exhibited a warrant for the arrest of Signor Menichini on a charge of receiving stolen goods. At ^he same time the robber said he must seize,all gems which appeared to be of doubtful origin. : v Takes Best Jewels. - The Jeweler protested his Innocent? loudly, but the crook was adamant. He had his orders, he said, and had no choice but to execute them. For more than two hours he remained In the Menichlnl shop, carefully examining the whole stock of jewels and picking out all the largest and most valuable ones, which he placed in a suitcase. Then he ordered Signor Menichini to follow him, and bundling him into a taxicab drove him to the Jail. There the thief exhibited the warrant to the authorities and soon had bis victim safely locked in a cell. Then he disappeared with the suit: case full of Jewels. It was not until some hours later that the Jeweler, thinking over the circumstances of his arrest In the solitude of his ccll, began to have suspicions. After much pleading he succeeded In Inducing the prison keepers to ^ examine the arrest warrant. It wa|s, in fact, found to be a forgery. The jeweler was, of course, immediately released, but meanwhile the robber and his rich booty were nowhere to be found. With the start of several hours which he got while Signor Menichini was in prison It was thought it would be extremely dificoit to trace him. Crook Arrested. But the Italian police caught the bogus captain and sergeant In retford time. Within 24 hours of the Jewel- 's release the captain was safely behind bars, while the arrest of his accomplice followed two days later. In their search the police were greatly aided by the fact that they were easily able to find the tailor who had supplied the chief robber with his uniform. This trail led directly to the home of the crook, who was well known to the police, and they arrested bim while he was asleep In his bed. He protested but was recognised by all those concerned in the case. His accomplice was also arrested in bis home. In his bathroom seven large diamonds were found concealed a tube of toothpaste. Despite this initial success, however, the police have been unable to find the major part of the robbers' booty. Rich Ghost Still Loom* to Uphold Old Fortune New Orleans, La.--Clutching the fortune It has not loosed for two cen-" turles, the ghost of William Jennings, Seventeenth century English financier, has loomed again in the eyes of his heritage seeking descendants here. Four New Orleans sisters claim that settlement of the accrued estate, now amounting to $400,000,000, will be made in October in England and that they will shai*e $5,000,000 of it. The sisters are Mrs. Thomas Suter, wife of a soda clerk, Mrs. Annie Spencer, whose husband is a trainer of race horses; Mrs. Edna Kaiser, who operates a dairy with her husband, and Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Riser, a trapper's wife. Already they are planning how best to spend their fortune. For over a century descendants of three sons of the old miser immortalized In Dickens' "Blenk House" have sought to trace their lineage past the sons who emigrated to America. Old William Jennings failed to make a will and a conservative estimate gives 900 as the number who will share In the estate if it is ever settled. Poverty Keeps 200,000 Chinese Out of School Pel ping.--More than 200,000 boys and girls did not attend school in 1929 because they could not afford to do so, according to the annual report «f the municipal director of education, Chang Chien-yen. The problem of giving education to the majority of the city's children, who are growing up illiterate, is one Of the most serious which faces the municipality, Chang explained. Lack of money Is the chief obstacle. The mass education movement is solving part of this problem, the HopSI provincial bureau of education reports. It Is stated that more than 3,000 mass education schools for children sod adults have now been established in the province, affording schooling free e( charge. <kjt - yi THOSE - FAMOUS Chocolate W:- DRUG STORE V HAVE Yourself : UW' ',tl .
