Noted Reader of Adirondack Secrets
Making Trail in Eternity

From the New York World
Paul Smith is dead too. Paul was not
an ambassador. but he was rather more
than ambassador: he was a kind of king.
He once ruled over a domain which may
have been as large as Montenegro. He
built his name into as many mountains
and caused It to shine from as many
streams and lakes, as King Arthur or
King Alfred Politicians. mllionaires
and great Journalists are forgotten by
and by. but there is one section of the
Adirondacks that will have as hard a
time in shaking off Paul Smiths name
as it would have in shaking off the woods
and craggs
That was because Paul Smith. in his
boyhood, took off his coat and took ur
his AK in the midst of a very beautiful
section of the Adirondacks and proceeded
to put the region to the use that the
time demanded He had no esthetic
ideas. probably. He did not think about
the higher beauty of the woods and
forests and mountains and lakes. But
he had Vermonter's eye for the main
chance, and saw that the weary city

proceeded to serve their interests.
He fed and guided them. He also
slaked their thirst. which was great

to have pockets in his shirts. To all
these men Paul Smith came to mean the

ROMANS USED SAFETY PINS
Many Familiar Articles Are of An
cient Origin

From the New York Press
Pins fashioned exactly like those of
today called by us safety pins have
tombs, some being referred to a period
prior to the birth of Christ
The safety pin. it seems. was an article
OF common use in Italy long before the
Roman Empire attained the height of
its glory. The material of which they
we're made. however, seems always 10
have been bronze
The collar stud is another ancient i'm
vention. While it is true the old ROM
ans did not NIKE use of buttons for the
purpose of fastening their garments. and
they wore no collars, yet they possessed
sort of collar stud. which was used in
conjunction with the safety pin in g
number of ways.
Who would imagi that the little
paper fastener. with which we are fa-
nilar the brass device that holds a
number of loose sheets of paper together,
was more than aooo years old? Yet such
is the fact. since such device WIS en-

The Science of Dreams

TOM Tie Strand.
Almost all scientific observers agree
that the materials of which dreams are
made are memories of past experience Of
the Individual Curiously enough the
memories that occur most frequently are
those of the obvious days and those of
early child >hood The former class are
TO be found in every dream, and are
probably an essential condition 10 Its
formation, the latter (recollections of
ehidhood) seem 10 be of even greater
Importance, since they contribute much
of the hidden meaning of the dream.
