A letter from cx-Proldcnt Tltcodoro
Roosevelt, written especially for tho
Philadelphia Boy Scouts at tho request
Of Dr. Charles D. Hart, chairman of
tho Executive Scout Council, Illustrates
In what esteem tho former Chief Execu
tive holds the organization. Tho letter
reads:
"Theodore Roosevelt, 30 East M street,
Now York city January i, 1913.
"ily dear Doctor Hartf
" wls.'1 t0 """d you my ''earliest con
gratulations on tho success of tho recent
campaign of tho Boy Stouts In Phila
delphia. Tho fact that tho funds wero
Jo quickly and easily raised nnd that
tney represented over I0Q0 elvers, espe
cially when wo consldor tho financial
stress of the present times, proves that
... uv) oi-um movement nas taken a
fleep and firm hold upon tho sympathies
of our people. Wo must all rcjolco at
this fact, because tho movement Is otio
Of unquestioned valuo to our country.
A year ago, writing for the Christmas
number of Boys' Life, I spoko as follows:
I wish to send this message, not only
to the- Boy Scouts, but to all tho lioys of
America. The prime lesson that tho Boy
Bcout movement Is teaching Is the lesson
that manliness in Uh most vigorous form
can ba and ought to bo accompanied by
unscldsh consideration for tho rights and
Interest of others.
"'Indeed. I con go a llttlo further. I
Wish that I could make the especial ap
peal to the American boy to remember
that unless ho thinks of others ho cannot
flt himself to do tho best work In any
great emergency.
" 'The names In our hlstorv tn rviilrii
We now look back with prldo aro the
names of men who have rendered great
service. This service may havo been ren
dered at th same time that they them
selves gained glory or reputation. But
neither tho glory nor the reputation would
havo been gained savo as an Incident
to the service.
" Tho boy Is not worth anything if ho
Is not efllclent. I havo no use for molly
coddles. I havo no una for timid boys, for
the"slssy" typo of boy. I want to see a
boy able to hold his own; ashamed to
flinch. But as one element of this ability
to hold his own, I wish to see him con
temptuously indifferent to tho mean or
brutal boy who calls him "sissy" or n
mollycoddle because ho la clean and de
cent and considerate to others. If a boy
Is not fearless and energetic, he Is a poor
creature; "but ho Is an even poorer crea
ture if he is a bully of smaller boys or
girls. If ho Is guilty of cruel mischief, and
If In his own home, and especially In his
relations with his own mother and sisters,
he is selfish and unfeeling.
" 'I believer in play with all my heart,
but I believe In work even more. Willie
hoy or man plays I want to sco him
play hard, and when he works I don't
Want to seo him play at nil.'
"These words', "of course, apply Just as
much to tho Boy Scouts of Philadelphia
as to thoso. in any other part of tho
country. What has been dono In Phila
delphia Justifies the belief that within
uiree years your organization will bo
firmly established nnd able to do all the
work It Is, designed to do in tho scrvlco
of the community.
"Wishing you all success, I am,
"Sincerely yours,
VDr. Charles D, Hart, chairman,
"Boy Scouts of America,
"Independence Hall,
"Philadelphia, Pa,

esting nt this time becauso tho scat of
the Holy War how raging between lite
British and Mohammedan armies will bo

part of tho program, which Is now being
definitely mapped out by the committee.
Boy Scouts In Alnskn, within tho Arctic
Circle, wilt bo realities within half n
year If tho plans of Dr. Grafton Burke,
of Fort Yukon, Alaska, nre successful.
Doctor Burke, who Is tho medical mis
sionary nttached to St. Stephen's Prot
estant Episcopal Mission at Fort Yukon,
obtained tho ncccssnry blank for a scout
master's commission nt Boy Scout head
quarters, 6th nnd Chestnut streets, yes
terday, and will fill It out nnd submit
It to tlio Nntlonnl Council. In nddltlon,
ho was nrmed with a pocketful of liter
ature dealing with the uniforming nnd
equipping of Boy Scout troops when ho
left Philadelphia for New York today.
Within flvo months Dnrtnr tlllrkn wilt
have completed a post-grnduato course
at Cornell nnd the Bcllcvuc Hospital, In
Now York, nnd will then return to his
post at Fort Yukon, where ho has been
located tho last seven years. Tho Boy
Scout troop which ho Intends to organize
will bo formed from the members of
tho St. Sliephcn's Boys' Club, of which
ho has been In charge since It was
founded flvo years ngo.
Tho boys, nbout M In number, nre In
dians nnd Eskimos, ranging front 9 to
If years old. They will constitute tho
first Juvenile body In the I.nml of tlm
Midnight Sun to be taught Boy Scout
principles. Iceland's Boy Scouts, which
nre now tho "farthest north," Just mis
being Included In the territory bounded
by tho Arctic Circle, thnt Imnrrlnnrv linn
barely tipping tho northernmost point of
thn Island,
Alaska's potential troop of Boy Scouts
forms very good material for n troop,
nccordlng to Doctor Burke, who l
familiar with tho precepts of tho or
ganization. "The Indian nnd Eskimo boys are very
docile and tractnble by nature," ho snld.
"They aro surprisingly successful In
whatever they undertake. Trnpplng Is
tho chief menns of employment and
amusement, und they are especially
devoted to capturing lynx, ermine,
weasels nnd the many varieties of
foxes for their fur.
"But, however adopted thev nrn fnr
their work, they ore Indolent and pursuo
their trapping Irregularly. One week's
ouccess menns another week of loafing.
They requlro n stimulus sucli ns I think
Boy Scout training would give them.
That Is my purpose In forming a troop
to Instil a realization of the necessity of
regular habits in them -ami also tn tennh
them to be patriotic to the United States
flag, which Is their flag Just as it is tho
banner of all the Boy Scouts of America "
Doctor Burke described the boys as
enthusiastic members of the club. Thev
nre especially proud of their purple Ini
tial sweaters, he said, which the women
of the mission gave them when thev
made a definite assertion that they wished
to bo regular members. They meet once
n week for athletic games and music
In the little log town which contains
their meeting house. Their native games,
ho said, wero for the most part sup
planted by "outside" games, ns games
foreign to Alaska nre called, becauso the
native games, such ns tossing tho vic
tim In a mooscskln blanket, were deemed
too strenuous. Water games on the Yu
kon Hlver, Indoor sports similar to tho
medicine ball cxerclso and baseball and
football, with mooscskln balls, were In
troduced by Doctor Burko with varying
success. He also taught them college
songs; he Is a graduate of tho University
of tho South. The song, "Possum Meat
Am Good to Eat," they altered to "Por
cupine Meat Am Good to Eat," he said,
because the 'nojonim In unl.-imivn tn tun...
while tho splney-backed animal is not! I
aney sing mo cpllego songs with gusto.
The homo of tho future Alaska Boy
Scout troop Is chiefly a fur-trading
centre, according to Doctor Burke, with
a tributary population of about 500 In
dians and Eskimos and a shifting popu
lation of nbout 30 whlto persons. It
Is situated inland on the Yukon Biver,
he said, and knows none of the mild
weather which Is more characteristic of
the coast towns farther south.

"good turn."
Unseasoned scouts of Troop IS now
know whnt a ghost looks like. They saw
one of these ghostly spirits on the re
turn from a hike late Saturday evening.
The troop. In command of Scoutmaster
Hubert I.. Rutherford, hiked to Bowler's
Woods, north of Bala, In the morning
for an all-day camp. This locality Is In
Itself sufficiently deserted to give a raw
icuruii 'uu u. nine n. nomesicl; feeling,
nccoramg to scouts who have passed
through the forest; but when the scouts,
Just sitting down to dinner, were told
that the woods was not for camping pur
poses, they hiked farther, following a
creek for two miles Into n region moro
desolate and lonely than Bowler's
Woods. In a deserted glen they pitched
the portable tents nnd made ready for
supper. Not a sound, save their own,
was to be heard, not a sign of human
habitation was to be seen. As the win
ter evening rnpldly darkened Into night
the boys, mRny of them Just old enough
to be scouts, gathered around tho fire
and ate supper. After the meal some
one suggested a few s, nries before tiie
return hike, and almost Instantly a scout
launched Into n ghost story. With the
flickering flames throwing unearthly
shadows that danced out Into the dark
ness and among the trees, It was re
lated how ghosts actually did frequent
the very ginund upon which they were
camping. The notorious "Banshee,"
moaning and screaming out In the Inky
depths of the woods where two limbs
grntcd against one another, seemed to
corroborate the talo, nnd others followed
until a few of the smaller boys squirmed
rinser 10 me eirelo nnout the tire.
It was n sober nnd closely packed troop
that broke enmp In the darkness nnd
hiked through the aisles of the forest,
fomlng Into the road, they breathed
raster, for hero one could see his hand
before hli face. But with tlm remem.
brnnce of tho spirits that Inhabited the
renloii, lliey marched In cloo formation
nnd the places Inside tho group were at
n premium. So they tramped homeward.
Suddenly a spectral, shapeless white fig
tiro left tlm glonm beside tho road nnd
marched across tho highway, perhaps GO
vnrds ahead. Before It had disappeared
In tho bushes on tlir other side of tile road
there was a scampering of scouts nnd n
full retreat back over the path they had
romp llallled by tho scoutmaster, who
told them It was mere ImnRlnntioii. the
srouts halted and ngnln resumed their
hike. They had passed the danger point
and were beginning to laugh nt their
fright of a moment beforo when a shriek.
and a filmy apparition with flowing sheets
sprang full upon them. Every scout col
lapsed. The end was at hand. Tho ghost
Hurt them in Its power.
Tho terrifying spectro was hovering
over their prostrate forms. But Instead
of doing them harm the ghost seemed to
vanish In tho ground, and In Its placo
stood Harold Bourne, a member of their
troop, laughing nt them. Ho stooped to
pick up tho whlto sheet which had en
veloped him.
Scoutmaster Rutherford also laughed.
After a moment alt the scouts laughed,
for they realized they had been tricked.
But It was not a meie trick for a trick's
sake. Their scoutmaster had staged tho
telling of tho ghost stories and tho np
pcarnnco of the ghost for a definite pur
pose tn make his Boy Scouts remember,
through this lesson, that ghosts exist only
when one believes In them, and thnt Boy
Scouts must not be superstitious. Bourne,
shoitly after the circle had gathered
about tho fire, had taken the sheet from
the scoutmaster's knapsack and had gone
on In advance. In the darkness his ab
sence wus not noted.
A letter of commendation for the effi
cient work of Henry Lewis, of Troop 131,
In distributing coffee to firemen at 20th
street nnd Glcuwood avenue, has been re
ceived by the troop from Philip S. Tildcn,

Contributions of books from all sources
from Scoutmasters, Boy Scouts, individ
uals Interested In tho movement nro ex
pected. Tho volumes must not necessarily
deal with boys' subjects, for If a volume
is not adapted to Boy Scout reading It
can bo readily exchanged for suitable
books. Tn fact, many of the books now
In the library wero secured by exchang
ing books of no interest to boys for others
In keeping with tho purpose of the library.
''For example, a. set of antiquated med
ical books w-as exchanged for several
volumes of Kipling," said Doctor Hart.
"In like manner, n dime novel may bo the
means of securing a book fit for Juvenile
reading. Any old books seemingly of no
earthly use or evidently unsultcd for boys
to read are extremely welcome at head
quarters, for they can be exchanged for
tho books wo need."
Rumania, In the opinion of war observ
ers, Is oven moro likely to throw Its
army of 000,000 men Into the scale against
Germany, Austria and Turkey. Tills well
trained forco would In effect link with the
cxtrcmo Russian left, now forcing Its way
Into Hungary through Bukowlna. "With
tho armies of Sorvla and Montenegro,
they would form a lino menacing Austria
Hungary nlong tho entire southeastern
frontier from Russia to tho Adriatic.
Although few details nro forthcoming
ns to tho campaign of the Czar's troops
In Bukowlna, It Is known that virtually
the wholo of that province Is now in Rus
sian hands. Dispatches from Bucharest
say that thousands of fugitives from tho
Austrian territory aro crossing tho Ru
manian frontier, some of them on their
way to Vlennn. Tho developments arising
from this occupation of Bukowlna will
have an Immedlato nnd vital bearing on
Rumania's course of action.

North Franklin street, published Januarv

St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cath

Fothcr Krohmalney, of the congregation
of St. Michael's Russian Orthodox Cath
