Scoutmaster" Does
Movie Stunt to Mend
Broken Bell Rope
"Ring out wild bells" nO. we can'
be poetical in this case, for it was
only one bell, and sad to relate, it
was rung so hard that the rope broke!
The ill-fated bell was none other than
the one which peals forth from the
Liberty bank when another patriotic
citizen registers a protest against
Prussian supremacy in the shape of a
Dona.
It took the combined efforts of a
27-months-oId son of Liberty and a
husky minion of the law to break the
rope Tuesday. You. see, the young
ster's father had iust bought a bond
for him and the little fellow was so
delighted that he wa?to have a share
in winning the war that the ooliceman
hoisted him up, he grasped the rope
in his tiny hands and before you could
winK me rope crackea. .
Mrs. William Archibald Smith came
to the top of the marble steos and
cried: ' ,.
A boy, a boy. mv kingdom for-
boy. And who should respond but
Scoutmaster English, The next prob
lem that confronted the bankers was
just how to get on the roof of the edi
fice. ,
A - ladder was otaced aeainst the
back of the bank and uo. uo". uo
climbed Mr. English. It was a peri
lous moment, the papiermache roof
was not built for art Douglas Fair-
DanKs stunts, and so inch by inch Mr.
English worked his way to the broken
bell. . .
Ha! He arrived, and in a moment
it.- Iv-tl I I- 5- !i- 1
me utn was uacic in us normal posi
tion and ready-to peal forth merrily

Byrne-Carr Nuptials.
Goodbyl Good luckl The last flut
ter of white satin has disappeared,
tne last goodby lias been said, and
Lieutenant and Mrs. Walter S. Byrne,
nee Miss Betty Carr, are, on their
way east. But we must tell you about
the wedding. The pink roses are
dropping their petals and the candles
have burned low, for the pretty bride
has gone, yet a few hours ago they
poked their bright faces everywhere
thrpugh the leaves of innumerable
ferns and palms and the candles shed
a , soft light over the bright frocks
of the young girls.
Miss Mabel Allen sang "Oh, Joy
Divine," and then under Missx Grace
Slabaugh's skillful fingers the strains
of, Lohengrin's familiar "here, comes1
the 'bride" sounded through the
rooms. D.jwn the broad stair came
Miss Ruth Fitzgerald, all in pink, her
dress a lovely rose shade and in her
boucAiet the pink and lavenders of
variegated sweet peas.
The bride was in white satin, of
course, and yery lovely she was in
her girlish frock, made with a broad
panel front and back. A short tulle
veil fell to the' bottom of her skirt
and in her hands a real April "show
er" of white( sweet pdas and orchids.
Rev. 'Edwin Harte Jenks read the
marriage lines. , , v "
Mr.-Harry S. , Byrne attended his
brother fs best man and after the
wedding a very informal reception
was held just for the intimate friends.
- After, a glimpse of Chicago, Balti
more and Washington, the young
couple will go to Troy, N. Y., where
