GRUGER has been so thoroughly

country that Ii does not always occur

origin. The name is said to have orig

meaning cross bearer, but it has gen
orally been spelled Kruger rather than
Cruger. Another authority, however,
has it that this is simply a surname of
occupation derived from the German
word meaning innkeeper.
1t is said that the family of the
Barons Won Cruger are distinguished
from the untitled bearers of the name
in their use of the initial c instead of
K. and the fact that the American
family has always spelled the name
with the c is taken as one evidence of
descent from the baronical family.
Besides this there is a well-established
and persistent tradition in the family
to this effect-and such traditions are
well worth needing
The first of the name here and the
founder of the family was John Cru
ger who came from Germany before
100 and settled in New York city.
He was a prominent merchant and
man of wealth, and from all records
was looked upon as man of cuJtiva-
ton and position. He became mayor
of New York, position which was
also held by his son, John Cruger.
The original John Cruger had four
children: Maria, who married Guy
Ter; Henry, John and Tileman Tile
man died young, unmarried, and John,
though he became mayor of New York
and lived to make fortune, as a
merchant, and was first president of
the New York chamber of commerce,
never married either.
Henry, though he spent some time
In Bristol England, married in this
country and is the ancestor of all the
American Crugers. His children were
John, who married De Lancey;
Henry, who took up his residence in
Bristol from which city he was mem

in Curacao, Nicholas who married

THE JUDGMENT
OF "A BOY
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH

lust remember, If you can,
J When you weren't yet man,
But boy with naked feet
Up and down the village street.
Leave behind the world of men.
All the things you've done since then,
Think of things back home again.
Just remember-and you will
Store and church and farm and mill.
People that you used to know
You've forgotten long ago.
Look again with boyish eyes.
See them at their proper size;
For the boy-heart Is the wise.
Just remember some were great.
Yet you never passed their gate
There were some considered rich.
Yet you feared them like witch;
There were some who put on style,
But they only made you smile
No one fools boy with guile.
Just remember there were some
Common folks, who common come
Into life, and common live,
Work and laugh and pray and give.
Often fail, yet often try,
Common live and common die;
Those you liked the best-and why7
Just remember even now,
Just recall, remember, how
Boyhood puts them to the test.
What the boy-heart thinks the best;
Just remember-you will find
Ev'ry memory left behind
Is of some one who was kind.

performing Its seemingly humble part.
With nature, there Is no chance of
anything going wrong, but with ma
lures proudest handiwork, man and
woman, there is grave doubt as to
whether this rule in the majority of
cases would apply.
Imagination carries the young in
one swift ascent to the heights, which
the old and experienced know cannot
be reached except by patient, persist
ent work and self-denial, the price ex-
acted from all regardless of condition
And here is lesson which cannot
be learned except by rubbing against
the practical world.
1t is easy to sit in cushioned chair
and dream of conquest. so difficult to
achieve when in action.
No victory can be won except by
hard fighting.
Life is not resting place, but a
field of battle from the first cry of the
infant to the last sigh of the depart
ing spirit.
To play the leading role. one must
prove ones ability to lead in little
things as well as in big things, by
holding fast to courage and honor; by
keeping constantly at work and stead
lily driving ahead with so deep-seated
purpose that neither WEAKNESS nor
encouragement shall be permitted to
block the road. There is no other safe
course to pursue, not even by those
who In their Imagination think they
are cast for the leading part.

Late Highway Bill

Complete Reorganization

Commission

ATLANTA, Aug. 15.-Highway
legislation, like bills providing for
taxes and appropriations, draws a
variety of opinions in the Georgia
general assembly. Almost everyone
has his own idea as to how the state
road department ought to be run.
Several read bills have been IN
troduced in both the house and the
senate, and one, known as the
Granger bill, providing for sys-
TEN of trunk lines over the state,
has already been done to death by
committee.
Another, known as the Thompson
bill, is ready for actioneby the SEN
ate as soon as it is placed on the
calendar by the rules committee.
1t cOntemplates a complete reorgan-
ization of the highway department
under the name of the State High
way Commission, to be composed
of three commissioners. 1t pro-
vides that the three members of
the present highway board shall re-
main in office until their terms ex-
pire.
One of the main provisions of the
measure would be to provide a
means for the removal of a mem
Der, obviating the debaclc of this
spring whereby the removal of John
N. Holder, as chairman Of the board
by Governor Walker, was set aside
by the supreme court, the latter
holding he lacked authority.
Among the major provisions of
the bill are the following.
"The State Highway Commission
without interruption would succeed
the present Highway Department
and have full power and control in
the performance Of the duties Of
the department.
"The State Highway Commission
shall consist of three members, APP
pointed by the Governor of the

be subject to discharge at any time,

Nlizabeth Knight, of Los Gatos,

12-year-old grandson, Richard Par
ker Smart, before Judge S6i1n r.
Desha, of the court Of domestic re-
lations, and complained that it has
been very difficult for young Rich
ard to live within his annual allow
ance of $4,000. The boy, the
owner of the large Parker ranch on
the island of Hawaii, is reputed to
be millionaire. The grandmother,
as his guardian, petitioned the
court to increase the allowance to
S16,500, which was granted.
Mrs. Knight told the court that
the servants employed IN her home
for the benefit of young Richard
cost approximately $500 a month.
In addition to the increased annual
allowance the court authorized an
expenditure of $4,000 to cover the
cost of the boys vacation in Ha-
wall and 800 for distribution by
the youngster among the employ
es of his cattle ranch when he visits
his property to be the guest of the
staff and cowboys.
