M. C. diamond Saturday afternoon Milledge- ville took a well earned victory from our boys, by the score of 4 to 5. The game was featureless except for the hard playing and almost overplay ing of both teams and the fair and firm umpiring of Miller Bell. About half our boys were on hand to see the game and root for the home team, and a nice crowd of spectators en joyed the game. Batteries; Woodruff and Blanchard; Bass and Smith.

(The cattle—not the boys.) With swatting the fly, screening out the mosttViitoes to keep them in, anoint ing the ohocolatocolored bed bug with disinfectant, holding up the little busy bee to rob him of his hard-earned hon ey, and baptizing the cows for the re mission of ticks life is just one san guinary thing after another. Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Dead bugs on the sands of time. . Boy Scouts Rescued Alive Life Saving Station Established ' At Home of Mr. Stubbs * Restoratives Applied (By A Boy Scout.) We left Milledgeville at 7-3° Monday morning, happy and care free except our sympathy for folks, who have to live always in a city and never get out to see any of the big wide world. We tried to shake the dust of Mi’ledgeville from ■ our feet, but more settled on them \ before we got out of town. ! We rode a long time through the! dust but we didn’t mind a litt le j thing like that. We stopped a* Crawford’s Pond about io miles from Milledgeville and got some good water, and then we went on through the dust to Mr. Stubb’s country home. We walked from Mr. Siubbs to the lake, because the roads were narrow and rough. They say it is three miles but 1 can prove it is five if 1 ever get my witnesses home. We went into the lake and set out some hooks, while the cook went to the kitchen tent and got busy, or pretended to be. We row ed our boat back and raised out- hooks to see how the fish were bit ing but they didn’t seem to be as hungry as we were. fust, before we starved to death the mess call was sounded and we scrambled 'gracefully over each other to get to the dinner. We had an elegant fish fry consisting of loaf bread, bacon, hominy and syrup. Some of the boys accused others of slipping in a can of sar dines to make the dinner smell fishy, but it didn’t smell as fishy US it sounded. We were good and hungry and every scout ate as much •vs he wanted—until it was all rone --- then we stopped. Mr, and Mrs. Miller Bell and heir daughter,Miss Olive, paid us t visit and left one half bushel of jeanuts and some stick candy. The next day Prof. Parks and Vic. R. 11. Wooten visited us. Pheir car got ditched about it mile rotn the camp and they walked iown, and a crowd of the boys .vent back and pulled it out for them. They brought us two large cans of pineapple, one dozen loaves of bread, some chocolate candy and 6 cans of salmon to furnish pisca torial flavor for the bacon. They ate supper with us and stayed all night and then ate a fish breakfast with us. It got cloudy. Dr. Brannen said it looked so much like rain he was afraid we would have to go home. About 10.30 o’clock Prof. Parks and Mr. Woot en left and Dr. Brannen sent a message to Mr. Stubbs to send the wagons for the baggage, and to Mr. McCombs to send the truck. Pretty soon it began to rain and it rained so hard that Dr. Brannen sent four boys with the distress signal to Mr. Siiibbs to please send the wagons at once. We went the wrong road about half a mile and then got back on the right road. When we got back to Mr. Stubb’s home we were wet as water could get us, and mighty cold. Mr Stubbs was very kind to us. lie sent ti e wagons on, and gave all the boys some peanuts. We were almost frozen and he built 11s a fire. The wagons brought the baggage to Mr. Stubb’s home. The truck didn’t come and Mr. Stubbs let us sleep in a vacant bouse. Dt. Brannen went to town that afternoon and g<tf the truck to come the next morning. About 8.30 the truck rolled in and we came home. We thank Dr. Brannen and Mr King tor the trip, also Mr. Stubbs and family for their great kindness, as well as everyone who helped make our irip a success. Anyway we got several nice messes of fish, and a level bait of fishing. We all stayed pretty well it we did get rained on. Every boy kepi his ap petite with him with tlie possible exception of Miller Bell, who had an attack of fever a few weeks ago which ma,v have hurt his appetite. •‘But vou wouldn’t hardly notice it at all” STRONGER MEN O do not pray for easy lives. Pray to j be stronger men. I)o not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of i your work shall he no miracle But you shall be a miracle Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come 'to you by the grace of God.— Philip Brooks.
