Walker}Williams tells this news
paper stony: When the first child
arrived in the family of an editor
friend of Snine he and his wife
named it Alpha. When the fourth
came some years after they decided
to call it Omega. But a year later
No. S came along anyway. For a
time it puzzled them to find a
name which Mould not seem rldicu-
lous for a child born after Omega,
but the resourceful editor hit on a
happy thought and named it Sup
plement.

There is a tremendous power in
the habit of expectancy, the convic-
ton that we shall realize our ambi-
ton; that our dreams shall come
true, says Orison SWEET Marden, in
Success Magazine" There is no up
lifting habit like that of carrying
an expectant, hopeful attitude, of
expecting that our heart yearnings
will be matched with realities; that
things are going to turn out well
and not ILL., that we are going to
succeed; that no matter what may
or may not happen we are going to
to be happy.
There is nothing else so helpful
as the carrying of this optimistic,
expectant attitude-the attitude
which always looks for and expects
the best, the highest, the happiest-
and never allowing oneself to get
into the pessimistic, discouraged
mood.
Believe with all your heart that
you will do what you were made to
do. Never for an instant harbor a
doubt of this. Drive it out of your
mind if it seeks entrance. Enter
tain only the friend thoughts or
ideals of the thing you are bound to
achieve. Reject all thought en-
emies. all discouraeins moods
everything which would even sue-
gest failure or unhappiness.

wanted to rest now and then, and
that they would drift the rest of the
way. They would hear the whip
poorwills sooner and better if the
chug was not in evidence. His as
sertion was not combated. No girl
with wet feet ever combats until
driven to the deadline.
The boat was run into the willows
and held there. Neither the whip
poorwills nor the mocking-bird nor
the bobolinks came. An owl solemn
ly hooted. An owl might just as
well utter a jolly boot as dismal
one, but he never does. The gnats
came and the mosquitoes came, and
there was silence in the boat. 1t
was a little discouraging for jim
ME, but at last he drew a long
breath and began:
"NIiss Wilder, you must be aware
YOU must have seen"
Eyes, l have seen you tinkering
with the boat, and [ am wondering
how we shall ever get homew
"Why-why-the boats all right.
forgot to tell you that I must
have turned the wrong switches. As
was preparing to"
1 "Thcre's a mud turtle trying to
climb into the boat" answered the
girl as she shifted her position.
Jimmie jumped up to defend her.
He felt that he could meet all the
mud turtles in the. United States.
The boat dipped and some of the
Sandy came in. She also foated
away from the willows and down
stream. The Sandy was bailed back
into itself, and Miss Violet tried to
keep the irony out of her voice as
she said:
"You may take me home now,
please. have just remembered that
must attend children's party this
evening"
SIN a very little time, Miss Wild
er. | am looking for the right
switches. Have you noticed what a
holy calm there is on the river to-
night? Just as soon as find the
right switches, you know" I
"Then land me on the bank and l
, will walk homer' she exclaimed five
minutes later.
II think l have found the
chug at last"
But he hadn't. The demand was
repeated, and with the push-pole he
drove the boat to the bank. 1t was a
landing i'll the woods. He would
land, too, of course, but he must
make fast the boat first. When he
had done this, Miss Wilder had dis
appeared. He shouted and ran here
and there, but she had vanished. He
stood irrcsolute for a moment, and
then plunged into the dark forest.
The heroic in a man comes out at
such times, no matter whether he is
a money counter or a Texas cowboy.
The forest was interspersed with
glades. Just as Jimmie brust into
one of these glades he beheld a hui
man form on the ground, and an
other form he was not so sure of
lowering around. His voice sound
ed strange to him as he called out
and dashed forward. The uncer-
tain form retreated a little, and the
certain one rose up and staggered
toward him, crying out as it came

LOYALTY TO VERMONT.

We have spoke at some length re-
garding the Development Of Vermont's
educa tional system, and Its culmina-
ton IN State university and agricul-
tural college, There is another phase
Of this question which we desire to
discuss briefly at this time.
The writer yields to no one in the
matter of loyalty to ones college and
love Of alma mater, but have We,
alumni of institutions outside of
Vermont. any right in point OF equity
20 come to this state and while draw
ing our income from Vermont use our
influence to build up educational in
situations outside of Vermont?
Putting the matter in another form
In particular, are we wise in our gen
to conduct our high schools and Other
preparatory Institutions and superin-
tend our public schools. who, while
taking our money. are doing all il
their power to influence our sons ant
daughters to attend Institutions out
side OF Vermont, simply because the!
themselves happened to graduate
therefrom?
1t is time for the people OF Yer
mont to build up our own Stata, In
stead OF sending our youth as wei
as our money 90 other states and de
veloping them at our own expense
Really when one stops to consider how
we pour our resources into other sec
tons of the country IN every con
ceivable way It Is a wonder that Yer
mont grows at all In population an
in other ways.

THE LITTLE TOY-DOG.

Like the dog in the dear poets song,
My little steel-cars are covered with
rust
They've lain in the garnet SO long.
The marbles are there, and the soldiers
OF tin,
Lie hid In tho old oaken-chcst.
And there IS the drum, and the trumpejs
whose din
loved in the ages at rest.
Each rare little toy. as it comes to my
hand
My hand that is wtherod with years.
Brings back to my spirit that beautiful
land
Now yelled in the mist Of my tears,
The beautiful Land of the Long, Long
Ago,
The scenes Of the playtime Of yore.
When deep IN my soul with its radiant
glow
shone the sunlight of days now no
more.
The llttl- toy-dog' Stop. stranger, and
bark.
What cherished remembrance it brings,
My Daddy-dear Daddy-ah. how he could
bark,
What laughter that memory brings,
1t echoes re-echoes, it sounds in my
heart.
That bark, and those yelpiny. OF glee,
When Daddy came home from his toll on
the mart,
And played with my dogge and me.
All. little toy-dog. Al, little steel-car.
I've treasures Ct mind and OF soul,
But mid all my priZos, TOO many by far
To reckon the sum If their whole.

That now through my memory comes
or days that are past, when each little
toy.

DEATH OF TOLSTOI.

In dying moments as in active life
Tolstoi thought Of the people instead OF
himself According to the news reports
of his last moments. when the physicians
had temporarily relieved him from Sc
we're heart pains, Tolstoi after recovering
his breath said There are millions OF
people and many sufferers In the world
Why are you so anxious about me?"
The death Of Tolstoi removes one Of the
most picturesque figures Of modern Euro
pcan history. Born of rich parents, which
in Russia means more than in America
Tolstoi was apparently destined to lead
an existence such as almost any other
young Russian of wealth and position
might anticipate. He went to college.
but at the end of two years left the halls
OF learning to assume charge Of the an
cestral estates left him upon the death
of his parents
