Some names seem to have moro effect
than others. but very few are quite without
influence
II you are told the name by which a
man Is Familiarity called-though you have
the name-you may begin to form an opin-
ion of him.
For instance. no Arthur. In the habit OF
being called Arthur. can expect to be a
strong man.
From King Arthur to the present day,
Arthurs have very rarely been strong.
They are frequently amiable and cultured.

will give a few names and the charac-
teristics which are generally associated
with them
The reader can test for himself how far
the Characterization is correct.
David and Andrew. for example, make
shrewd lawyers or clever doctors; they
are cautious and moderate. Peter is likely
to be somewhat eccentric and quaint: he
has humor.
Paul is artistic in some direction or other,
and as a rule rather good-looking.
Samuel may attain to distinction, espc-
cfally in commerce. but Sam is rather coarse
and Sammy mostly goes to the bad. Stephen
is generally a weakened failure. Reuben
Is vulgar but unpretentious.
Much also must depend on whether the
actual name or some version Of 1t is used.
For instance. William. IL he is always
called William, is a good man, but n prig:
II he is called Willy he Is weak: II he is
called Bill he - n good fellow. hut rathAs

The stepmother of Audubon he refers to in
all of his writings with great affection,
stating that she had much to do with the
shaping Of his life and the development Of
his artistic tastes. The little sister of the
naturalist one must suppose persisted too,
with the luckless mother. as Audubon
makes no mention Of her in his records kept
through years. But she finally appears in
the pages Of Audubon's writings. and the
magnificent books in the Mercantile Lii
brary inscribed to her by their author links
the Audubon family with st. Louis.
In one Of the surveys OF the Louisiana
Purchase Territory Audubon applied for
position to 60 out with the Governments
and to make observations as a governmental
naturalist but his application was made in
vain. For a time Audubon was much dis

courage. he again went persistenty to
