When I was a little boy" a To-
peka man recalls, IT used to go to bed
and lie awake and dream of becoming
hero, Everything 1 had read and
heard of battles and adventure 1 dra-
ntatized with myself in the leading he
roic role. Many a night have I lain
with wide open eyes and seen myself
standing at the top of a narrow noun
tain pass, killing my IS tigers and
lions and five outlaws one by one. until
my imagination growing TOO vivid for
my endurance, I would become so
frightened at my heroic role that
would have to run down the nall and
get into bed with :. ! mother"
