This property, was given to the troop by a Perth lady who has, always been most appreciative' of the good work Scoutmaster Holmes has been doing for -the boys of Perth. An -Old Boy Returns. 'Way back in 1912 a little fellow joined the 10th Ottawa Troop under h h the then Scoutmaster, Mr. W. A. Proc- tor, and played away and worked away until he became a First Class Scout. But that was not enough; he sought knowledge, and finally there were 23 bright proficiency badges in rows on his arms. He kept on with the Troop through many affairs up hill and through defeat, but one day it changed its meeting place and then it became the 2nd Ottawa Troop. And still this Scout kept on. But one day he went away to school and his old friends at the Troop went along without him, un- til recently ho carne back Now he is a man, but stilt a Scout. His name is Dr. Bra'tliwait Dixon, and just the other day he accepted a place on the Executive Comiiiittee of the Ottawa Boy Scouts .Association. So you see, 'Scouts, the old phrase of "Once a' Scout, always a Scout," holds good. Dr. Daeon returns to active Scouting with the best wishes of all Scouts, old and new, and we hope that his new ex- periences will be as pleasant as, his recollections of the oitd 10th and 2nd.

Rossetti, showed hien a sketch and asked his opinion of its merits. "It has' Its good poluts, Rossetti," said 'Whistler; "go ,aliead with it by all means." Later 'Whistler inquired how it was getting along,- "All right," said Ros- setti cheerfully.. "I've ordered a stun- ning frame for it" In due time the canvas•'a.ppeaa-ed at. Rossetlti's 'house in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, beautifully framed.' "You've done nothing to it since I saw it, have you?" said Whistler. "No -o," replied Rossetti, "but I've ` written a sonnet en the subject if you'd litre to hear lt.". He recited some Lines of particular tenderness. `. "Rossetti," said Whistler as 'the recitation ended, "take out the picture and frame the sonnet," The Sam• e Pig. A young wife went into a grocer's i shop and said: "I bought three or. four hams here amontlr or So ago, and they were fine. Have you any , more of them?!'

Self -Made Monarchs. . In many a group of the East or West Indies, one hears nova and thenof a white man who has made himself the potentate of some little island un- known to the outside world. The Ross dynasty in the Cocos Islands is a fa- mous case in point, and there are sev- eral others. Early in the nineteenth century a certain French adventurer, Baron de Thierry, at the head of a hundred fol- lowers recruited in Austradla, pro claimed himself King of New Zealand. He soon discovered, however, .that to be a successful king a man must have money, and it was the dark of this that caused the desertion' of his •subjects and the . consequent collapse of his "kingdom," A man named Antoine de Tounens established a monarchy in Araucania, a country just south of •Chile. Antoine i was luckier than de Thierry in that he succeeded in escaping to France when his people rebiled against him, Ile i died in 1880 in comparative poverty, i bequeathing his crown, to his secre-1 tary, who, however, wisely elected - to govern his kingdom from the safe vantage-gi'ound of his rooms in Paris!! A self -elected potentate 'who wielded! considerably more powertban any of those already mentioued was William I Webster, "King of Waiou.;' Webster, an American citizen, was former:y a ship's carpenter on a whaler, but had deserted' and joined a little band of ; settlers scattered .here and there in Auckland. The great Cor otan e:I ' 'chief grown as I3ookneee took a fails y to this deserter, who married bis daughter. He then established trading stations all over the Gulf and Firth of'ibames,'. through which he reaped a large pro tit when immigration to New South Wales began on a large scale, buying i maize and potatoes from the natives and shipping there to Australia. He also kept a boarding house at Tho lacy tive village of Berkshire for the bone - fit of the numerous adventurers who kept conning and going.
