Scouts of America.)
BURGOMASTER MAX TALKS
The following little address was
made by the famous Belgian patriot
Burgomaster Max of Brussels to the
Boy Scouts of Belgium. Its message
rings as true for the Boy Scouts of
America as for their brothers across
the sea:
"In becoming a scout, each one of
you has made the most important res
olution of his life- that of seeking to
acquire those manly qualities and
moral virtues which make the good
citizen.
"You know aheady that to be a
scout it is not enough to wear the
uniform. You must obej the law which
ha\e voluntarily imposed upon
jourself, whose ten points embody
your duties tow aid jourself and to
ward jour neighbor.
"In subjecting ourselves to the
training which renders the body sup
ple, in exercising jour will power, In
developing jour powers of obseiva*
tion, of decision and of Judgment, you
serve your apprenticeship to active
life. You will learn to act quickly find
well and to surmount difficulties and
obstacles.
"The habit of discipline and the
consciousness of fraternal sulidnutj
combined with exercise in the open
atr, will prepare to defend jour
country, following the example of the
heroic boy scouts who fell in tlio
course of the war. The devotion that
you biing to tins sacred mission will
ennoble jour desire ahvaj- to keep in
piactice the principles of duty and of
honor.
"The scout school is a school of
self-denial ard lojnlty. The good
scout ought to have the cult of moral
beautj', the unwaveilug desiie to be
worthy of his own and to merit others*
esteem You will leath this goal if
jour spirit is -vigilant and jour effort
sustained.
"All that you accomplish of good
however small may be Its results, will
contribute tow aid the giowth of join
soul, to make of you a man without
reproach who has no guide sa- honor.
"Courtesj, correctness, good humor,
and cordiality, service and the con
scientious accomplishment of your
task will strengthen jour heart and
your spirit.
"Those will become men of worth,
who strive to observe this scout law
to seek each day to do a good turn
WHEN SCOUTS ARE TOGETHER
Typical one-tent unit of many of the
boy scout camps, so popular in many
sections.
SCOUTS IN CAMP.
L. L. McDonald, national camp direc
tor of t.'ie Boy Scouls of America, re
centlj gave out that there are nppioxi
niately two thousand troop and council
camps at present In opeintlon in the
United StnteN, which menus that over
150,000 Inns me en loving thN summer
the benefits and delights of life in the
open undei ideal conditions of leader
ship and equipment. All these camps
ure under expeit scout men and jrre
conducted in nceoidance with the le
qulrements of the national camping de
partment. The scout law is the law
of each camp and eveiy one of those
150,000 bovs will come back home a
little nearer the scout ideal "phjsl
callv stiong, mental)) awake, morally
straight." SCOUT LOSES LIFE SAVING CHUM.
Thomas 11 Robinson of Camden, N.
J., a thiiteen vear old bov scout, ie
centiv gave his life In saving that of
another lad who could not swim. His
effort vvns successful, but just at the
last 'noment he himself became ex
hausted and sank Pathetically enough,
joun^ Robinson had confided to his
friends lcng before the accident that
it was the dearest wish of his life to
be a hero and to wear medal of
honor from the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica.

MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Authorities Puzzled as to Whether
Man's Being Pronounced Dead
Makes Him Legally So.
Al P. Williams, United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas, received a
letter a short time ago asking his opin
ion as to the status of person upon
whom a death sentence has been exe
cuted, who has been legally pro
nounced dead, but afterwards regains
consciousness and recovers.
Th- case cited was that of five ban
dits who were convicted of highway
robbery In the province of Gagajan,
Philippine Islands, and sentenced to
die by the old Spanish method of
strangulation. After the execution the
five bandits were placed on the floor
of a chuich to await funeial rites In
the morning. In the night three re
gained, consciousness. Two of the
three died "again" in a couple of days,
but one recovered, although left in a
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could be stiangled
again, or, if he could not, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried In the
comts if ho committed another crime
Mr. Williams wiote an opinion to the
inquiring person, declaring that he be
lieved that an order could be obtained
fiom the court setting aside the lirst
execution as having never been per
formed and another one ordered.
His opinion was that if the bandit
were not killed, finally, he could be
hold amenable for other ciimes, al
though legally he was not In existence.
"Of couise," Mr Williams said, "you
will probably find as many lawyers
and judges disagreeing with my opin
ion as concur ring."
FLED FROM CHEESE BARRAGE
Commander of Brazilian Warship
Thought Some New Kind of
Bomb Was Being Used.
Trobably the strangest and most
curious use to vvhldi fhee^e was ever
put occurred in a naval battle between
Brazil and Ui uguay in the mid Nine
teenth centurj', recoids the Intelli
gencer.
The Uruguay ship, commanded by
Captain Coe, in the midst of the bat
tle became exhausted of shot A lieu
tenant reported the facts to Toe.
"Powder nil gone?" asked Coe.
"Xo, sh lots of that jet"
"We had a darned haul cheesea
round Dutch onefoi desert at dinner
today do JQU lemember It?" said Coe.
"I ought to I bioke the carving
knife In trjlng to cut it, sir."
"Are there any more aboard?"
"About two do?en. "We took them
from drawer."
"Will they go In the 18-pounders?"
"Bj thunder, commodore, but that's
the Idea! I'll try "cm."
And In a few minutes the bombard
ing liom Coe's ship reopened, and the
enemy found more shot fljlng over
their heads. At last one shot struck
the mainmast, scattering the bits of
cheese far and wide. Then another
came. Then four or five more slapped
against the sails. The enemy com
mander, unable to decide what was
happening, and thinking that a new
kind of bomb was being used on hlni,
beiame teirorlzed and ordered his boat
to back avvaj Little did he know that
he was letieating fiom a barrage of
Dutch cheese.
Last of Three Friends.
Chauncey Depew is the last of
three distinguished Iriends, of whom
General Horace Porter and Joseph
H. Chonte are dead, remarks the
Detiolt News. They were for yeais
a link between the present generation
and that of Civil war dajs. General
I'oiter campaigned with Grant and
was present when Lee surrendered
All three were noted orators. Gener.il
Porter was regarded as having the
superior mentality and his achieve
ments as soldier, diplomat and rail
inad financier and builder made him
most conspicuous.
Choate's oratory was closely associ
ated with his winning |personallty.
Depew's addresses are notable for
their spontaneous humor and wit, while
General Porter drafted speeches with
infinite cine and delivered them with
Impressive Intensity aud sincerity.
Praises the Y. M. C. A.
The Hon. V. S. Srlnlvasa Sastri, an
Indian official, gives this testimony
"You have done me the honor to ask
me to state what I think of the work
of the Y. M. C. A. In India. It is be
yond praise. I do not pretend to know
all about it, but what I have seen of it
fills me with admiiation and gratitude
The association neglects no pioniising
Held of service. The magnitude and
mam sidedness of its operations are
a wonder to me, and I have sometimes
felt the nonottlclal oiganlmtions in
India would gain in persistence and
boldness of conception by a study of
the alms, methods and ideals of the
great movement known throughout the
world by the letters *Y. M. C. A.'"
