Show He Might. In summer time the boy scouts roll down their socks and follow the Scottish Scot-tish custom of cool knees. Down at Camp Kinneuma, in Sullivan county, the scout executive, who Is both very tall and very boyish, follows the custom cus-tom of his boys. It is picturesque and the grown-up visitors understand it, but the other night a tiny girl did not. She stared at the executive most of the time of her visit. Then when the family started home she turned to her her father. "The chief of the scouts is terribly tall, isn't he?" she asked. "Yes," answered mother. "I suppose other men's pants would be too short for him," she continued. "But don't you believe that If he saved up a lot of money, mother, he could find a pair long enough for Sundays so his knees wouldn't show?" Indianapolis Indian-apolis News. |
