Rev. Francis C. Kelley, bishop of the Catholic church in Oklahoma, and formerly pastor of the St. Francis Xavier church in Wilmette. The tale relates to an ircident which occurred to Bishop Kelley when he came to Wilmette as a stranger some sixteen years ago. "I met my first Boy Scout in the vil- lage of Wilmette, near Chicago, about sixteen years ago, that is, the first Boy Scout who made an impression on me, I had just gotten off an interurban car at a corner and was looking about for a church steeple which, I hoped, would be my guide to find the Catholic Rec- tory where I was to be a guest. I saw no steeple. There seemed to be no- body about on that particular street from whom to make inquiries. I start- ed to walk rather aimlessly away from the car line hoping to meet some one who would send me in the right direc- tion. I had a suitcase also to bother me and there was no hope for a taxi. Those were not the days of taxis wan- dering about in hordes. "Suddenly a boy rushed out from somebody's front lawn. I turned and saw other boys there at play. This one had left them and now came up to me smiling. "'Do vou want to find Father Byrne's house, Father?' he asked. "You guessed it right, son. "Tet me take vou there. goine the wrong way. "No, son. I don't want to break up vour party, and vour game. Just tell me the way and I'll find the house all right. ""No, no, Father. Let me show vou. It's not a bit of trouble. "He started me off the other way and walked alone with me. All at once he seemed to think of something he had missed. "'Say. Father, let me carry your suitcase.' "Now he was a small boy and the case was heavv, so I objected: but the discussion enlivened our walk to the rectory where the boy left me with a cheery, 'Good-bye, Father.' "When IT met Father Byrne, I said: 'You must have the right kind of teachers in your school' -- and TI told him about the boy. He laughed. "'T certainly have the right kind of teachers, but they can't find credit for that particular boy. I saw who he was when he left you at the door. He is not one of the Parochial school. He is not even a Catholic.' "'But he called me seemed--' "'Of course he did. He gave you your proper title, and he has to be kind and courteous. He is a Boy Scout who was using your trouble to do his daily good turn for someone.' "Since that time I have always tried to do a good turn for the Scouts by saying a word for them when oppor- tunity offered. Brother Barnabas thinks that Mr. Wyland, Bishop Con- roy, and himself brought me here to- day. Brother Barabas is mistakened. Tt was that Boy Scout from the village of Wilmette who brought me. He is now a grownup who perhaps is helping to make other boys kind and courteous through the lessons underlying the Scout law. I hope he hears of this story." Mrs. Clarence A. Fuermann of 1240 Isabella street will entertain at 1 o'clock luncheon and bridge Mondav for Mrs. Frank G. Fulton of 1205 Gregory avenue.
