Every middle aged man OF sou I'd memory
who was brought up In town." said MIR. Crate
bar. will recall tho fact that when he was
boy he found great delight in rafting a stick
along the picket fences This amusement Of
childhood. like many others OF that period Of
life appears to have been transmitted from
generation to generation without material
change. The strings OF spools and the soldier
hats and 30 on OF tho children of to-day are
substantially like those OF their forefathers.
But II might seem to some that this succession
is In danger OF being broken. In many
suburban towns and villages thereas now no
picket fence. The modern spirit says lawns.
and 40 there are many pl aces whore the houses
nro as II In parks. and where the younger chill
dren might not know IA picket fencc II they
should see one. have two children. for In
loyed tbs felicity q; rafting hard stick
deed seem, under such circumstance, that
this ls ono OF the ,enjoyme4ts OF childhood
which In some families might be lost alto
gether, that ono could scarcely expect the
children Of these children who have never
ratified pickets to think of 1t themselves:
but / eaunot tolieve this; believe.
rather that II in their youth tho child en- Of
picket fences still remained they would pick
up the hRndiest stick and go quite naturally
and very glsefully rattling Il along the pickets;
for l cannot believe that n habit grounded for
centuries in the human race can be utterly
lost by It's lapse In single generation.
