BOY SCOUTS

By SAMUEL SCOVILLE, Jr.
tt
StlftDOEo Sfelbn fnt wortl to vou that
stt xwmid slnfr for your benefit in your
yard at 6(80 o'clock tomorrow morning
WouWn't you get up to hear her? Sun
wise (rt the ame mall came n, letter from
MlsehA Etman that he would be triad to
fcecompany oh his violin Tetrawinl and
8ehUmannHelnk In a patch of woods
near your house before breakfast, rain
oi- ehlna I think that probably the
chanres are that ou would be there.
Inst Week, on April 19, I listened to
tetter singing- than can be heard In grand
Jp?ra. I heird better pcrformerB than
Ktibellk or Mlscha Elman, and the only
r-ficS I had to pay wag getting up a
half hotir earlier, over beyond my house
la a llltla patch of low trees Aa I
passed through them a brown bird hooDed
ipon a limb from tho ground. Me had a
faintly speckled breast, and his tall was
lighter brown than his back,
I recoftnlzed the hermit thrush on his
Way to his home in the north. Even as
Watched him ho ftllriilpnlv nnfniiil bin
btak and there Bounded a cascade of
liquid golden notes running upwnrd In
stead of downward like those of hla
cousin the wood thrush. Fully five min
utes he sang: and then hopped down on
the ground and disappeared in the shrub
bery This mis tho first time that I
had ecr heard a hermit thrush sins
tthlle In migration. Last year I heard
tho veery, or Wilson's thrush, strike
thoso tstrango harp chords on his way
north. They nre not single notes, but
actual chords, with the soprano and alto
note In each That was the second
time that I had ever heard the veery
sing-while traellng. Last summer I lay
in bed one rainy morning on tho top of
Mount Pocono and through the falling
,rops heard the sweet notes of tho hermit
thrush sound before it was light. After
i&Wn tha VPftrV nfmrlr ,m anil T ir...
Sj"' to a thrush concert, which was well worth
traveling mucs to near.
u Every morning I hear tho silver flute
notes of the little field sparrow, with ula
Finn beak and unmarked breast. His
trilling; la higher nnd sweeter than even
Tetrazzlni in "Lucia." This morning in
, my yard I heard a goldfinch chorus. It
.sounded like a whole tree full of canaries,
each one singing and trilling with alt his
'might. Most of them were still In win
ner plumage, olive-green, with whlto
bars, but here and there was a bright
! yellow male in his black wings and cap.
In tho garden I hear the notes of the
V"1 blue bird, who always sings alto. On
w Sunday, April 25, I passed a red cedar
t tree in my Walk and heard for the first
' tlmo this year a rare performance of
tno Drown thrasher. He Is the grand
opera, singer among tho birds and at his
best is fully etjual to the Southern mock
ing bird. This afternoon "no was giving
one of his ventrtloqulal performances.
His voice sounded as it he uero a quar
ter of a mllo Away, although ho sat not
ten feet off, and almost in a whisper he
ran through every piece In his repertoire.
At times he would sing llko a robin or
. b would Imltato tho red-eyed vlreo, then
he; would trill nnd gurgle nnd run tho
whole scale. It was wonderfully done
and every once in a while he would stop
and turn around to see if I were listen
ing; for the thrasher loves an audience.
All of these and scores of others can
bq heard any morning. Try It tomorrow.
Get up and see how many different songs
you can hear and how many you know.

Thousands of men, women and children in Philadzlphia arc denied an opportunity to get away from the heat
and dirt of the city during the summer. Few cities in the East are more advantageously situated for short, refresh
ing, economical trips to the country than is Philadelphia, and it t's in consideration of these two facts that the Eve
ning Ledger has decided to give to its readers each week the outline of a "vacation-ette."
Representatives of the Evening Ledger take these trips personally in advance,, with an eye to determine the
exact cost for fares and meals, and tho points of rccreationt scenic value and historic interest. Realizing that tho
expense attached to these aunts is an important consideration with those who are unable to go to tho shore or the
mountains, this detail is given in. exact figures.
Many owners of automobiles also arc kept at home during part of the summer, and for their convenience the
automobile routes through the same territory are considered along with the trolley trips. A map of both auto and
trolley routes, with points of particular interest accompanies each story. The description of the "vacalion-ettes"
appears on Friday, Cut out the stories and the maps and when you are ready to take a short trip you may find
them of t)t(crc8t and assistance.
There is a noto of pathos in the work
ingman's often expressed wish, "If I
could get away from tho city for a
while "
His worked-out wife or mother usually
glances up nt this remark, loot J re
signedly at him a moment and continues
about her work aa ho braces himself
with a shrug again to confront the head
lines of the dally papers. In 'which the
exploits of some prominent financier at
Atlantic City, Bar Harbor, Saratoga or
other resort oro chronicled In aggravat
ing detail.
But there aro means provided for the
man who Is unable to send his family
nway from the torturing heat and dirt
of the city's summer to give Its mem
bers some llttlo measure of relief.
In surroundings such as these, which
nre offered In a largo number of neigh
boring places, a man can forget tho city
for a brief spell and roam for hours
through meadows and woods, over hills
and In valleys. There real air Is truly
free nnd he can revive himself for a
continued round of toll In his monoto
nous workaday life. It is for these folk
that the "vncationette" was planned, and
the routes are so clastic that a full mead
of relief and pleasure may be obtained
even If a person finds It necessary to
turn back before reaching tho end of the
trip as outlined
Last Sunday we started on our first
holiday to cover a great deal of ground.
In fact, wo traveled 110 mlle3.
BY BOAT TO WILMINGTON.
We got on a boat for Wilmington. A
llttlo further down tho Immense fac
tories of the Baldwin Locomotive Works
loomed up at Eddystonc while shortly
before reaching Chester the gray build
ing of the Pennsylvania Military Acad
emy overlooked the river from an Im
posing height.
Another few miles and Marcus Hook.
After rounding tho breakwater the boat
feels Its way Into Wilmington, where It
docks at 4th street.
WILMINGTON AND BEYOND.
Boat trips are conducive to large appe
tites, and we reached Wilmington good
and hungry. Aa wo did not carry" a
basket lunch, we stopped In nt Alnscow's,
Market street above 8th. where we had a
fine table d'hote meal for 60 cents. This
was a compromise between the Du Pont
Hotel, where one can always get a first
class meal, and the restaurants on 4th
and Market streets.
The 20-mlnutes-after-the-hour trolley
for Brandywlno Springs took us through
a rather unattractive part of Wilming
ton, but the car soon passed through
Elsemere and Brack Ex, two rapidly
growing suburbs of the city. Shortly
after lealng the latter placo the grim
walla of New Castle County jail stood out
on the left side of the tracks. From this
point the car made a steep, circuitous
descent through a volley to Brandywlne
Springs. The country Is all beautiful.
Much fun may be had at the springs
when the season opens. All the forms of
amusement found at similar parks are
scattered over the grounds, but In addi
tion there is splendid scenery,
IN AN HISTORIC VALLEY.
Brandywlne Springs was not our object
ive point, however. We wanted to get
back Into Pennsylvania and had chosen
Avondale, Chester County, as our turning
point. And wo were glad we did, too.
After boarding another car, which leaves
tho Springs on the hour only, we passed
through country ricn in historto lore,
scento beauty and industrial Interest.
Before traveling very far we passed
Hope Faun, a tuberculosis sanatorium
supported by Interdenominational con
tribution and State aid. Then, as we
traveled through the beautiful country,
we found a number of squatter hovels
and shanties scattered about, They were
Inhabited by largo negro families, despite
the structures' miniature size, and bor
dered on tiny but well-kept forms.
Hockessln, which is 13 miles from AVll
mlngton and six from Brandywlne
Springs, was the first town ws reached,
KBNNETT SQUARE.
Another five miles and wo were In Ken
nett Square.
Wa had still four miles to go to the
nd of our Journey, which carried us
through the most fertile country we had
yet reached. In fact, it seemed like com
ing Into a new country after having
crossed the border from Delaware. At
Tougbkennamon we passed that famous
little Inn yclept "The Hammer and
Trowel," where stage coach travelers,
and now autolsts, have stopped for a bite
to eat and a. "wee bit" to drink since 17S3.
Another mile and we were At tho end of
our Journey, Both Avondale and Tough
kennamon have quarries, while tho for
mer also has flouring' interests.
Wo returned from Avondale after a
Short walk through the town, by the same
route we bad come W had traveled 110
miles, 32 from Philadelphia, to Wilmington
and 23 from there to Avondale. The fares
were as follows Philadelphia, to Wil
mington, round trip, EO cents; to Brandy,
wine Springs and return, 30 cents; to Ken
nett Square and return, $0 cents, and to
Avondale and return, 10 cents. This made
a total of L50 for fares for the entire
trip, but equal satisfaction may be had
by stopping at Brandywlne Springs or
Kenneit square

Children's Corner
Mr. and Mrs. Frisky Make New
' Friends
MR. AND MRS. FRISKY COTTON
TAIL had lived several dajs in their
new home, tho pile of grass in a big back
yard, before they had much time to look
about and have adventures. You see, thero
was a great deal to be done. Although
the grass pile was Just to their liking. It
was far from ready for the little family
of Cottontails that would soon come to
live in that Cottontail household; and
father nnd mother must lose no time in
making things snug and ready.
First, there was the entrance to plan
and make. "I think, on the whole, we'd
better havo two entrances," said Mrs.
Frisky thoughtfully, "then If danger
threatens at one door we can run out the
other." So a long hallway was made Into
the centre of the grass pile; from the
north it led Inwards. Then from the
south, but at a little different angle, an
other hallway, equally big, was burrowed.
When everything on the Inside was quite
to Mrs. Frlsky's liking she slipped oijt
slde to reconnoitre. "That surely Is a
handsome home," she said with a satis
fled sigh, "and aren't ou glad, Frisky,
that we left that tiresome woods and
came to such a nice place?"
"Of course I am," Frisky assured her,
"but you have worked so hard that you
havqn't had a minute for fun. Do come
over into the garden with me. There Is
some lovely lettuce there, quite as tender
and young nnd much more tasty than
anything we had eaten before."
Together they slipped over to the gar
den and were nibbling to their hearts'
content when they heard a soft whisper,
"Hush! There they are! Now watch!"
was what they heard.
Both rabbits scurried to the shelter of
a golden glow bed near by and peeped
out with sharp black eyes to see what
there was to be seen. But not a thing
did tney see not a sound came to their
ears.
For a minute more they waited, then
Mrs. Frisky whispered, "Frisky, do you
see anything?"
"Not a thing!'! replied Frisky, "but wait
a while and be sure. So they waited.
Pretty soon another soft whisper came to
their ears. "I guess they must be gone
now," said a voice; "we'll watch some
other day, for I'm sure I Baw two little
raoeits in this very yard)" And with
that twq little girls, their gay ribbons
streaming In the morning breeze, ran
romping Into the house. "Tomorrow we'll
bring them some cabbage; Then I guess
we can see them," was the lost thing the
raooiis neara.
"Now that is an adventure!" exclaimed
Mrs. Frisky proudly. "Such a thing as
that would never happen to us In the
woods! But I wonder if they reallv will
bring us something?" And Frisky as
sured her that he believed they would.
Sure enough! First thing In the morn
ing 'Sirs. Frisky spied two fresh, crisp
cabbage leaves lying on the garden walk.
And so sure was she of the little girls
good intentions that she ran right out
and dragged the leaves home! But she
was so quick about It that the children
couldn't even uess where she lived!
