Mary Malone war born in the little"

so pure, so Right, so sweetly unselfish
and thoughtful of others, that she was
beloved by allwhe knew her, adored by
eyery ftiembar of her family, and idol
ised by the young husband whose . life
[?he Blasted (?' throe short years.
?VO, who can forget the sweet light of |

In every relation of life her sweet

sprang the sweet and modest blossoms
of unaelish love; whose perfume will
linger long with many whose memory

"For all her quiet life flowed on
As meadow steamlets flow
Where fresher green reveals alone?
The noieelesi way they go.

State Secretary V. T. Griziaid, ' that
within one year, through otir corre

that when a boy er yomjg man leaves

our correspondent in his section neti
fies us where he is going, and we imme

does the young man arrive than he
-finds friends, a good, wholesome en

immediately thrown atuuud him. - Ju?t
how much this has meant to the 100

These facts alone show, that there aw

the scout activities in their localities.
The Scout organization has became so
strong in several Cities that secretaries
haQbeen ompluyad to handle the nrent

Theleaders of the Boy Scouts re
gard this growth. not as temporal but
as due .to the inherent strength and ap
