Faith scales the dungeon wall, and through the bars Beholds her future written in the stars; She reads her kindred with infinity. And waits the moment which shall set her free. Hope sings her lyric when the path is steep, And watchei3 for the morning without sleep; When courage falters at the long de- lay Her voice is first to hall the dawning day. Love suffers and finds joy in sacrifice; She pays Life's toll, nor stops to count the price â€" Be It the blood of heartbreak drop- ping down, Each drop shall prove a ruby for her crown. -â€" -S. J. Duncan-Clark in Success. • And the Northern gale that freezes. Is the voice of Lady Icicle a-slnging in the snow. Little Lady Icicle Is coming from the Northland, Benumbing all the Northland where'er her feet may go; With a fringe of frost before her, And a crystal garment o'er her; For Little Lady Icicle Is coming with the snow. â€" B.

Surnames and Their Origin Learning from Our Mistakes. Horace Greeley used to say: "You are bound to make mistakes, but let them be new ones, not the same old ones." The levelheaded man may often make mistakes, but he doesn't make the same mistake twice; they are -new ones. H gets a lot of wisdom out of his experiences which keeps him from repeating them. In other words, he profits by his mistakes and goes on to new ventures, new experiences which broaden and enrich his life. It is said that only fools make mis- takes, becaiise they haven't wit enough to undertake new things. It Is also said that only fools make the" same mistake twice. Yet there are millions of ' people who go through lite con- stantly making the same old mistakes. That's why so many of us fail in our ambitions. We don't profit by our mis- takes and learn to avoid the pitfalls to which ihey lead. We don't think enough; we don't learn to compare and measure, and weigh things, to learn their true values; we don't gain any wisdom from our experiences, and so when an old proposition comes to us In a new guise we fall. No man goes very far in this world who does not make mistakes. No man reaches the heights who does not learn from his mistakes; who does not get up every time he falls and keep pushing on with renewed determina- tion to his goal. â€" O.S.M.

VANDYKE Variations â€" Dykeman, Dicker, Dick- man. Racial Origin â€" Dutch, also English. Source â€" Locality, also an occupation. While all of these family names are not strictly variations of one another, they do, however, find their sources in the same root word, though the sources lie in two different countries and in two entirely different mean- ings. To begin with Van Dyke is a name that comes from Holland. The prefix "van," similar to the German "von," the French "de la," the Anglo-Saxon "atte' and the modern English "of" or "of the," betrays its origin indis- putably. The dyke, with an original meaning of "a digging," long centuries ago, even before the period of family name formation in Europe, came to signify to the dwellers in Holland a digging specially designed to keep the water out; In short, a dam or seawall. The original Van Dykes, of course, were simply dwellers on or near the sea- wall, and In Its first use the name was merely locally descriptive. On the other hand, a "dyker" or "dykman" meant in the speech of the medieval Anglo-Saxons a "digger" or "dig-man," one who digs. More spe- cifically the word was applied to farm workers, to men who dug the soil, in many instances performing services fcr which the plow was more common- ly used later, though the plow was a quite well-known instrument even in those days and long before then. There is a line in Chaucer which reveals clearly the meaning of the verb: "He would thresh, and thereto dike and delve " MacLAREN. Variation â€" MacLaur' . Racial Origin â€" Scottish. Source â€" A given name. Here is another Scottish family name derived from a given name which the progenitors of Its bearers brought to Scotland from Ireland in the ancient days when the DalriaUic Gaels crossed over and by conquest and settlement won the dominance of the Highlands. The MacLaren's or MacLarens are traditionally descended from "Loarn or "Laurin," who was the son of Ere, one of the Dalriad'c chieftains who settled in Argyle in the sixth century. This "Loarn" is the same chief who is said to have given the district of Lorn its name. The clan, for the MacLarens once constituted one of the leading clans in the Highlands, was for a long time a big factor in Scottish history. As ear- ly as the reign of King Kenneth Mac- Alpin it appears to have acquired con- siderable territories in Strathearn and Balquhidder. In 1138 they played a prominent part in the Battle of the Standard, under the leadership of "Ma- llse," the Earl of Strathearn. But the clan was reduced from the status of proprietorship over its land in 1138, when the earldom of Strath- Michel des Saintes, Que., writes "Baby's Own Tablets are an excellent medicine. They saved aiy baby's life and I can highly recommend them to all mothers." Mr.5. Tranchemon- tagne's experience Is that of thous- ands of other mothers who have tested the worth of Baby's Own Tablets. The Tablets ure a ture and safe medicine for little ones and never fail to regu- late the bowels and stomach, thus re- lieving all the minor Ills from which children suffer.

One hot night last summer, how- ever, a daring youth ventured out of bis garden and a little way down the street, clad in pyjamas. A passing policeman instantly arrested him as an escaped lunatic; hia suspicions were confirmed by tlie fact that the prehenslble â€" had no identification papers In his pyjamaa pocket. The young man spent the night in a cell, and when he was taken to police court the next morning, wishing to avoid re- cognition, he begged that a waste- basket be placed over his head. The spectacle of the allegd lunatic clad in pyjamas and iTelmeted with a wastebasket, solemnly marched to court between gendarmes armd with long and fierce-looking bayonets, greatly edified the less serious-minded citizens of Belgrade.
