When one finds he is out of sym pathy with his town, and can only say a good word for it coupled with an ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ “ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ % apology, he ought to get out. says an exchange. Many people fall into a I sort of unconscions habit of growling. j But it’s a miserable habit. Such peo ple make of themselves a dead weight, while, of course, they imagine them- ( selves particularly independent. The individual has about all he can do t o ! get along under his own loads, and lie j wants help and encouragement from j those going his way, and who are identified with him in interest. So With the town. I t has its interest to care for, and it needs all the pluck, all the energy, all the co-operation and helpfulness its citizens can provide and bring to bear. Every man is a part of its fortune, and in some meas ures at least takes on the character of the man. So loyalty to one's town is no more than loyalty to one's self; and this loyalty is in the line of all well- STAYTO N, shaped hum an nature. Therefore it OREGON. is right to say th a t tlie man who does not stand up for his town is in some way dwarfed. There is something wrong about him. His fellows will pass this judgment upon him, and the chances are th at while he may add to the discomfort of others he will not escape making himself unhappy.

Hot, tired and dusty, the excursion w as retu rn in g from the seaside day trip, and Simklns, a little bald niau w ith big ears, overcom e with his day of happiness, dropped off to sleep. In the hatrack above another passenger had deposited a ferocious crab In n bucket, and when Sim klns w ent to sleep the crab woke up and. finding things dull in the bucket, sta rte d ex ploring. By careful navigation Mr. C rab reached the edge of the rack, but th e next mom ent down it fell, alig h t ing on Sim klns’ shoulder.
