The Sot ut Master called the place "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" but the little scout who- was a mite homesick, but game, called it "The j Tail of my Lonesome Spine, as he sat down to his favorite pastime of eating. His characterization remind ed us of the lines: From far away, through the "woods so still. Comes the mournful note of the whippoorwill ; The moon seems so cold and white And the stares at you with a look of fright; And the trees in the shadows toss and moan, When the Boy Scout trudges the trail alone. Another time, what a friendly note Has the whippoorwill with the tireless tire-less throat; And the moon looks so jolly and round ; When the wind sings in a soothing sound, If some other Scout is treading along.
