Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS
Thinking.

IT IS possible, for descriptive pur-
poses. to draw q distinction be-
tween night-thinking and day-think-
ing. Night-thinking is called dream
ing: day-thinking, such as 1t is, merely
thinking"
But in making this distinction, you
must not insist upon strict demarca-
tions. Do you not sometimes mistake
your dreams for reality? Do you not,
while wide-awake, often fall into rev.
eries-day- y-dreams? If so, you will
agree that night-thoughts and day
thoughts are only arbitrary names.
They merely designate the time OF
day and state the facts Of our domi-
nent mental habits during different
periods of time
However, night thinking Is, on the
whole, more pictorial than day-think-
ing. Your dreams are pictures. There
is comparatively little exchange of
conversation between people in your
dreams. Never is there any exchange
Of opinion, or argument of any kind |;
no attempts at persuasion. You never
heard of advertising in dream.
Practically everything is direct action
between and among individuals.
If you turn to Characterization of
your day-thoughts, you find that your
individuality disappears. You and
all your neighbors are then social
beings The society-forming forces,
such as suggestion, persuasion, imita-
ton. and even coercion, enter into and
influence your thinking In ways
you rarely stop to consider. The day.
thinker who tmagines he Is thinking
for himself has painted false picture
of that thinking.

Song Of Owl
BY d. C. PEATTK.

7 HAVE written in the past, as en-
r. Enthusiastically as could, about the
different cheeps, tveets and whistles
Of our Winter birds, but. in all honesty
there Is but one bird who really sings
out boldly in Winter (aside from an
occasional whistle from the cardinaD
and that Is the owl.
Every night about 10 Or IL o'clock
when am falling asleep hear q little
screech owl in the woods, and If you
insist that an owls screech is not
singing, will ask you in return Just
what is singing?
One birds whistle and another's
are very much the same thing, SO far
as I can see. You may like some
better than others. Just as you like
some musicians better than others.
But the bird who sits up on his perch
at his chosen hour of the day and
proclaims to the world that he Is well
content is singing. Is he not?
It Is a matter Of taste what you
think of his song. And for one find
the owls beautiful. Not another sound
is there to break the sense of loneli-
ness In the Winter night-not the
faintest cricket's cry, not the lisp of q
single good green leaf-only q death
like stiffness, or the sad sound of rain
or the runnels of thaw. And then q
bird cries out upon the night! 1t Is
heartening sound and merry one,
and I do not see how any one who
did not actually fear and dislike Ma
ture could find anything uncanny in it.
There is constant movement on
foot to drive off and persecute owls,
partly on the same grounds as the
attack on hawks, but more particu-
larly because many persons, even those,
or. perhaps, especially those born in
the country. think Of owls supersti-
tiously. As a matter Of fact the owl,
eater of rabbits. rats and mice is one
of the best friends the farmer has.
Birds of prey are necessities. and If
they were formerly overly admired the
tendency now is to underestimate their
| value.

King Rail.

-HE distinction of being the
largest and handsomest men,
ber of your family Is enough
i in itself to attract favorable
attention, and this Is the repu-
tation of the king rail, cousin and
close companion of the Virginia rail,
for whom it is often taken.
Being as thin as rail- has its
advantages for this bird, which must
make its way through tall marsh
grasses, sedges and low growths al
ways found about swamps and moist
meadows.
The brightly colored olive-brown
back, with the beautiful chestnut-col-
ored markings on the wing coverts,
and the rich, reddish cinnamon on the
breast, which fades to form a white
collar at the throat. will be sufficient
field marks for you in looking for your
king rail.
The most choice spot to look for
them is in marsh overgrown with
cattailS, Sedges and the like. II you
are fortunate and have a low, squat
boat in which to sit, you can with
comfort watch the rail and his neigh
bors.
The bird goes through the tall grass
with ease. as his wedge-shaped body
offers little resistance. The feet are
adapted to moist paths, for the toes
are spread well apart. preventing the
bird from sinking too deep in the
ooze. The legs are sturdy and long,
enabling the rail to step high and wide
and take their owner swiftly out OF
the reach of hunters.
The king rail makes its nest in Ne
braska, Southern Minnesota, Ontario,
New York and Connecticut, south to

It was funny how Cassidy and NC

the little wooden one they come IN. II

canaries that don't weigh no more

toughest things on two feet-them
two guys is as thick as two peas IN

Cassidy notices that his bird don't

but to ride into danger merely for
the sake of dangers face was an
absurdity and madness.
These were the thoughts that were
working in the mind of the governor
as he said good-by to the girl, and
at that moment he heard from some
where inside the fort-or was it not
from the ground beneath him?-that
soft, thick. muff1ed explosion. He
started. He looked wildly at Rosita.
What is it?" she asked him.
"El Keed-I think, Ell Keedl" said
the governor.
Inside the fort?" she gasped.
"Still inside the fort?"
| She even made pace or two in
pursuit of the general, but Estrada
was making off at full speed, Shout
! ing to the officer of the gate: Sound
the alarm! Every man at his post!
Sound the alarm!"
That was why Montana and Rubriz
did not have much time.
They had watched the fire run
down the fuse under the door of the
closet They had heard the very light
cracking and splitting sound which
the fuse made. They lay fiat on the
floor in corner of the bed room and
waited. All sound ended.
| THE cursed fuse was wet-lt was
ruined!" growled Rubriz. THAT dog
of an Onate shall learn what it is to
give me false MATERIAL"
Then the explosion came. 1t blew
the door of the closet shuddering
open. An invisible puff, as it were,
of thick, strange-smelling air rolled
out to them and the flames jumped
wildly in the lamp and almost went
out
/ When they got into the closet they
! found the door OF the safe open and
hanging by only one hinge!
Well. let them take this much good
fortune almost for granted-Since
they were not yet clear Of the fort!
Even if the emerald crown were in
their hands, they had not gained it
until they were out of Fort Duraya.
That was why they said nothing
when from the second or third drawer
they opened they took soft wrapping
of chamois. 1t fell open in their
hands and they saw the green CLINT
ing of the emeralds, like the eyes Of
| cats when torch reflects from them
by night.
Then they heard the shrill neighing
of the alarm bugle that was blowing
from the gate of the fort and causing
the echoing Of trampling feet to sound
in immediate answer from the bar
racks and all through the big building.
Now for the last stepl" said Rubriz
He took one half Of the broken
crown and gave the other to his
friend
"Ay," said Montana. "One of us
may stick in the trap. Take some Of
this stuff"
He had picked two soft. heavy lit
tie bags of gold out of another drawer
of the safe. Rubriz dropped one into
a pocket of his trousers. Montana
put the little l0-pound weight inside
his coat.

postern by which we came in. Fol-

ALTHOUGH the Surname Rives,
Ryves, Reeve and Reeves are
represented by separate and distinct
families in many sections of Great
Britain. the United States. and other
parts Of the world. they have un-
doubtedly a common derivation. The
name originated in the ancient word
"reve," meaning bailiff. provost or
steward.
In the feudal days of Britain almost
every manor of consequence had its
"reve." whose authority was to levy
the lords rents, to set to work his
servants. to superintend his do
minions to his best profit and to gov
ern his tenants in peace, as well as
to. lead them forth to war when
necessity required.
After the coming of the Normans
into England this name was changed
to "bailiff," and 1t Is interesting to

closet opposite to that which had held
the safe, and while Rubriz completed
his costume by huddling swiftly into
a white shirt which he snatched from
a shelf, Montana picked great cloak
from its hanger and flung it around
his shoulders.
They sprang out again into the
open room.
"Rubriz, I tell you have a lucky
feeling. Come with me tonight"
In the name of God. Montana
quickly-to mel"
A voice called out distantly. Then
a door opened and there was a sud-
den rushing of footballs. close at hand,
at the very entrance to the bed cham
ber.
Montana, springing for the door
that led into the little side corridor,
could not believe himself when he
saw Rubriz rush straight forward to
encounter this overwhelming danger.
| Well, mere physical resistance could
not be in the head OF the Mexican
He must have thought out some cum
ming device.
So Montana went rapidly through
the corridor. He came out cautiously
into the officers mess hall. Two or
three chairs were overturned. He
found himself, against his own belief,
pausing to finish of brimming glass
of wine.
But, after all, the matter of few
seconds here and there would be OF
no importance. He. might as well
pause for a cigarette. It would even
help him.
Considering this, he actually light
ed a smoke and then went on again
The bugles were still going, the
sound penetrating the thick walls
dimly, entering the mind like per-
sistent needles of thought. But not
even the thickness of the walls could
keep out the damned rattling and
clamoring and crazy rhythms OF the
alarm bells.
The building seemed to tremble as
the sounds found physical root in the
foundations of the old fort. And a
crazy panic ran out through the blood
of Montana and into his brain.
He took hold of that panic with his
hands, so to speak, and cast it out OF
his breast.
His hat was well over his head, well
down on the forehead The flap OF
the cloak would cover most Of the rest
of his face. And bluff would have to
do the rest-blun no wider than the
edge Of q knife.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
The Truce.

RAY FOX grew more and more
y hungry, for hunting was poor.
7 especially for one who had
~ one paw he could use but
little. And all the time pan
of food was waiting for him near
corner of a shed in the dooryard OF
a little farm.
Gray Fox knew 1t was there. Yes.
indeed, he knew it was there. Time
and again, especially at night, had ne
sat down a short distance from 1t and
looked longingly at 1t. 1t was q won
der he had not worn a little pain
around it, so many times had ne cir-
cled that pan. But not once had ne
gone near enough for taste. one
does not lose three toes in a dreaoluI
steel trap for nothing. He was suspl-
eious of everything that had to do with
human folk, and certainly this pan OF
food had much to do with such.
At last Gray Fox yielded. Rather
he was driven to take any risk Tor
food. He had had no luck hunting.
He was thin and growing weak from
lack of food. Returning from an un-
successful hunt by way OF that farm-
ward. he suddenly threw aside all cau-
ton. He was sitting down, looking
longingly at that pan of food. when
almost without knowing what ne was
doing, he abruptly got up and walked
over to it. Once he had tasted 1t, ne
forgot his suspicious and everything
else. He gulped it down until the last
crumb had disappeared. Nothing hap
pened. No wicked trap leaped up TO
grab him by the leg. He turned ana
made his way home unmolested.
The next night he was back there
Just after dark. The pan had been
filled. Again he feasted, and again
nothing happened. All day he slept.
or almost all day, for the Black Shad-
ows were just creeping into that door
ward and around the corner OF that
shed when he got there. He did not
see two faces watching him at win
dow of the house a little way off, but
the two sisters watching there saw
him.
1T is a Fox" declared one. 1T Is
too dark to see his color, but Just look
at that tail You never have seen q
Dog with a tail like that. The poor
thing eats as If he were starved. And
do YOU see how he holds up one paw.
He must have been caught In a trap
and escaped"
IF we keep him well fed perhaps
he will leave our chickens alone If we
let them out during the day" said the
other.
Just then the hired man came across
the dooryard and Gray Fox lodged
back out of sight. we won't tell Ed
about that Fox" said one Of the sis
ters. He would want to set trap
right away or else try to shoot the
poor thing"
So a truce was established. Every
night, Just after the hired man had
finished his work and gone home, a
pan of food was put up by the corner
of the shed. Sometimes Gray Fox
came early enough to be seen. Some
times he did not come until late in
the night But always the pan was
empty in the morning. And every
