Robert Louis Stevenson once wrote es-
say about the Brownies that did his work for
| him while he asleep. On waking he would
find that they had put into his mind ideas he had
| only to write out.
All people who write must have known exact
ly what he meant And even those that don't
write must. from their experience, have been
able to understand the thought.
| During sleep it often seems as if the mind had
been active. Things we could not work out the
| night before may become easy in the morning
Then there is the wonderful stimulation of
memory. Fatigue paraIyzes the memory creating
a sense OF helplessness. Sleep seems to renew
the tissues of the BRAIN bringing vital thinking
| and stimulating energy.
] know a man who takes a great interest in
psychic matters. He is always talking about the
"subcons ciousness,' about that part of the mind
where the mysterious and seemingly involuntary
processes go l have heard him say of cele-
brated writer. "He has rich subconsciousness
1t is in this subconscousness that the Brownies
live and do their work.
suspect that nearly every one has rich sub
consciousness, any rate, far richer than he can
himself realize.
In the reccsscs OF every mind the little
| Brownies working. silently. eagerly, indie
fatgably.
The Brownies understand us better than we
do ourselves. They the housckeepers of the
brain. They know just where ideas have gone,
the ideas we have taken into the brain and for
gotten.
All writers know how. quite unexpectedly,
when these ideas arc needed, they leap out OF
their cells.
1t is the Brownies that release them
The Brownies always watching us, eager
to help. They seem to be happiest when they
have most to do. Indeed the they have to
do the more they want to do
And they work without pay. just for the love
of working.
1t is when the Brownies neglected that
they droop and falter. Sometimes they disappear
altogether. They go into the depths OF the mind
where we cannot follow them. | suspect that
even there the Brownies work, for it is almost I'M
possible for them to be idle. At long distance
call they come back sometimes with struggle,
but always eagerly. Their energy increases as
they get
Ny own particular Brownies | think of as
slim little with 1.-the bodies and shrewd,
ing. When l call them to work they come swarm
ing. And the more work l give them to do the
easier they find it.
My Brownies consist of several groups There
are the Fiction Brownies, the Verse Brownies, the
Article Brownies.
Lately the Article Brownies have been the
most active. They delighted to be called on
to work every day except Sunday.
And on Sundays strong is habit that they
fairly clamor for work. Sometimes l have to
yield
say to them: But it isn't healthy to work
on Sunday. Even writer ought to have one
day of rest"
They shake their heads and by their good
humor they convey to me that they think it is far
better for me to be active every day than for me
tc be idle day in the week
know that they consider very lazy.

Communication
 From. A
 Subscriber

Regardless of the fact that the "Troller" is thought by good many to be the kind of Sheep's brain, I maintain that troller is not sheep; nor is he fish, for he is not cold-blooded, which is amply proven by occasional outbursts of sundry humane emotions, such as love, jealousy and hate, though being socialistic in his views, let it be admitted that love is not his ruling passion.
 Fear, he does not know-except in the indefinite, i. .. the Vendor mans anxious presentations ot Due him s, the overzealous greet ings of sorrowing friends and their joy over his well-being and good looks, if he takes notion for the boulevards and the spot lights.
 Now, to prove my contention regarding the matter of brains, l shall cite the incident of the sol- dering iron.
 A Canadian, Bob Lewis, by name, we'll known troller and at times a very popular citizen, took up trolling as vocation nearly a decade ago, and it may be said to his credit that he's not yet so over- come with years and sadness that he can't do fandango or a turkey. trot in 'Nettery, when good friends carouse.
 Bob and I are neighbors ih sympathetic understanding, con- sequently we see a good deal of each other.
 like Bob. Bob is we'll versed in general politics, the subject of Pres. Wilson's coming marriage, and he knows all about the warl Believe me, Bob's no fool. Bob came over to me the other day and says he, "I'm going to solder ring in my brass spoon and I'd like to borrow your solder ing iron, Dick?" "Sure!" told him, handing it to him. In about an hour he brings it back, thank- ing me for the use of it. We'll, did you get fixed up all right?
