A SENSE OF HUMOR.
One of the greatest attributes
anyone can possess is a fine sense
of humor. The ability to see the
humorous side of life often helps
to overcome many an obstacle. If we
can smile and keep smiling in the
face of adversity we have conquered
much. If you are taking "fe so seri-
ously that you have no time for the
humorous side, if you are forgetting
how to smile, it is time for you to
look yourself in the face, and snap
out of it. When we fail to see the
(beauty and sweetness in the little
things of life we are missing a great
measure of happiness. Remember,
too, that it’s the inability to smile
that brings us wrinkles and old age.
The few people who never grow old
are those who do not forget how to
smile. Remember that.

The recent celebration of the 25th
anniversary of the Boy Scout move-
ment in America makes it timely to
again relate the incident which
caused the introduction of scouting!
William Benjamin Pollard, 66, for-
mer long-time resident of Edom and
for five years a citizen of Tyler,
passed at 6 p. m., Saturday, Feb. 16,
succombing after an operation made
necessary by a recent illness.
W. B. Pollard was born in Missis-
sippi in 1868, came to Texas as a
youth, and for nearly forty years he
was a resident of Edom. There he
interested himself, not alone in his
farming operations but also in all
those activities that made for the
substantial growth, material and
spiritual progress of his community.
He is survived by his widow, two
daughters, Mrs. May Crow of Tyler
and Mrs. Wilmuth Chambless of
Canton, and two sons, S. A. Pollard
of Chandler and Senator Pollard of
Tyler. Three brothers, L. D., G. C.,
and Porter Pollard of Dallas, and
two sisters, Mrs. Addie Geddie of
Colfax and Mrs. Nancy Ruth of Mis-
sissippi, also survive him.

Methodist church and his pastor,

ing the strange’s embarrassment,
approached him, and briskly salut-
ing said: “May I be of service to
you ?”
Mr. Boyce inquired the way to his
destination, and the lad accompanied
him there, whereupon the publisher
offered his guide a shilling for his
service, but the boy said: “I am a
Scout, and Scouts do not accept tips
for courtesies.”
Mr. Bryce was interested and im-
pressed. He asked about the Scouts.
His young friend took him to the
office of Sir Robert Baden-Powell,
founder of the movement, and as a
result when Mr. Boyce later sailed
for home he brought a trunk full
of literature pertaining to scouting.
Then he started the Boy Scout
movement in America, with the aid
of others who recognized the value
of such training as it affords.
A medal awarded to “The Un-
known Scout,” who befriended Mr.
Boyce and thus caused the spread
of scouting to America, was present-
ed to the International Scout Bureau
in London, where it will be kept as
a permanent memorial. It is inscrib-
ed as follows:
