They listened TO all the people who
were arguing with each other and also
with themselves. Many OF them were
talking TO themselves as though they
were each two persons instead of
one.
They listened to a young man who
was very fine looking. with gray eyes
and brown hair which curled ever so
slightly over his temples. His nose
was little scrap too large. his mouth
was a little scrap too large. too. for
perfect looks, but he was more than
perfect lOOking-he was strong and

and courageous. They noticed his

They watched the young man and
he went TO one side OF the mound,
right through the marshy ground. He
seemed 10 sink into II at times and
they couldn't see. after he had gone
a little distance. whether he had gone
down into the marsh or not.

FORGET PASSAGE OF TIME
Neither at Work or in the Hours of

human being measure time with eff

by fear. Scare a man with impend-
ing disaster, with bodily danger or
with death and he becomes really &C.

at them, would seem like racehorses

so much interest that time doesn't
matter.
Play when you play with so much
abandon, SO much enthusiasm that the
day passes without your measure
ment.
The man who measures time in
cycles or circles is wrong.
Time must be computed in a straight
line along which there is no backward
motion.
You can never have yesterday again.

do double duty. But you can't do that
If you watch the clock.-F. A. Walker

Rifles was eager to know the details

disclose nothing until they were on

Gardiner was saying. IT'S just as

might do something foolish if he

If Jim had been prompted by Curl

laid hold of him as he caught the gist
of Gardeners remarks. Travers had
not known Harris to be in the district,
but he had suspected for some days
that Gardiner and Rifles were Matching

going up the river tonight, apparently
with a large sum of money. and the
fact that these two. men also were go

ToIston Tribute to Dickens.

Maxim Gorky published some jot-
tings from his notebook of talks with
Leo TOlstOy toward the end of the old
mans life, and among them there is
curious appreciation of Charles Dick
ems, according to the continental edi-
ton of the London Mail. Tolstoy said
of him: Dickens has expressed re-
markable thought. He says life was
given to US to be valiantly defended to
the last breath. He was on
the whole a sentimental and loqua-
cious writer of mediocre intelligence.
But he knew better than anyone how
10 put novel together. He certainly
did II better than BalZac Both writer's

books, and yet BalZac had genius"

probably the first white men TO see
those lofty landmarks which so appro-
priately give this state It's name. This
was in July. 1909, when Champlain
made his memorable voyage up the
lake now called after him.
The first permanent settlement was
made in 1924 at Brattleboro, where the
Massachusetts colony established Il
fort as a buffer against invasion from
the north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were sold
at public auction In Hartford for
being donated to Yale college. Shortly
after this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake Cham
plain and westward from New Hamp-
shire. This led to disputes between
these two colonies as to their bound
aries. Under the leadership of Ethan
Allen New YOrk's claims were resisted
by n local military force. which
proudly called themselves 1.-The Green
Mountain Boys" 1t was these same
men who played such q brilliant part

the state was adopted and VermOnters

1871 il was admitted to the Union as

teen states.

@ N.Y. III the official name is
NSSSo0W Estate of Rhode
>~4eSs Island and Provi-
dence Plantations" It originated from
two district settlements. The first was
made by Roger Williams In 1886. He
was the pastor of a church In Salem.
AS he advocated radical reforms he
was ordered TO return TO England, but
fed to the Narragansett tribe of In
dians. From them he obtained tract
OF land and called the town which he
established Providence. in token Of
Gods mercy which had so far provid-
ed for him.
About the same time Mrs. Anne
Hutchinson and her followers were
expelled from Massachusetts on ac-
count of a theological dispute. She
made her way to the island of Aquid-
neck, which she purchased from the
Indians for 40 fathoms of white
wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats. The
name of this island was changed to
the Isle of Rhodes, probably after the
famous Greek island in the Mediter-
ranean. By common usage 1t became
known as Rhode Island. In 1862
Charles II gave Rhode Island a very
liberal charter. and this remained in
force until 1871, when a new state con-
stitutiOn was adopted by mass con-
ventions. and two years later another
new constitution was legally, voted.
The change in constitutions caused
what was known as DORIS rebellion.
The entrance of Rhode Island into
the Onion in 1870 completed the list
