is a healthier, sweeter fun than some
other very expensive pleasure can yield.
1t is a hard heart that does not yield
when a youngster comes toddling up,
with laughing eyes and a wide smile
on his little innocent face, his dimpled
hands filled with his precious trifles
and his whole nature radiating with
happiness. This power of child life to
bless those who come in contact with
it made Walter Pater, who was a fasti-
dious critic of life, say that one should
always have child about, or a beauti-
full flower or perfect shell, or a young
animal, that by constant observation
of them one might, even in mature
years, preserve something of the limo
cency of youth and it's living.
Some people, again, put their money
into 10 per cents and coppers, but their
dividends are paltry beside the rich
rewards which parents receive from
their children. Children make the best
investment. Do not be afraid 10 sink
all the love and time and money at
your disposal in them, for your returns
will be princely. Through their children,
parents win an earthly immortality, for
ESQ long as there is one soul upon the
earth to cherish our memory, we are
not dead.
Worcester has some of the prettiest,
most charming children in the world.
If you do not believe it, just glance
over this page, and if you do not agree
with The Spy in thinking that these %
young men and women do credit alike
to this city and to their parents, it is
because you are a f1inty-hearted bach
elor or an acid old maid. Banking upon

prettiest, dearest little people here
abouts, and now presents their coun-
terfeit presentments to it's many read
ers, confident of a cordial welcome for
them. All quarters of the city are rep
resented on this children's page, for
east, west, north and south are COM
bined to assist The Spy. All the great
lines of business are represented and
many of the vast industries that go to
make Worcester the prosperous place
it is. And there are all ages, from a
few months up to eight years, and of
course, both sexes.

PAULINE AND LOUISE H. KNIGHT

From Cicero, who felt it incumbent
upon his dignity as Roman citizen to
apologize for the tears that would flow
at the memory of his little Tulliola to
Charles A. Dana, who declared that it
was inhuman for a house not to have
a baby in it, and thought it no shame
to spend hours rolling around on the
carpet and goo-gooing with his own
babies. it is far cry. Perhaps no sin
gle fact attests more emphGt ically to
the dynamic change wrought by Chris
tianity in human character and society
than the position the child holds in
modern society From being regarded
as a necessary evil, the child has grown
in importance until now it promises to
dominate the social fabric and even to
claim for it's own the next century; so
far has the world Travelled since One
took little children in His arms and
blessed them. and said, Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not. for of such is the kingdom
of heaven" For among the other ire
mendous hopes and aspirations that
our Lord gave to men, sprang up the
ideal of a new kind of love-something
infinitely pure and tender and pitiful
and protecting, such as the world has
never before conceived of.
SO, while dynasties have waned and
+ro,,,1,la5 11vhi1a ,1exU ra1ioiOns
have been born and whole civilizations
and races have passed away. the child,
enthroned in the love and joy of hu-
mainly, has been waxing in prominence
and power and annexing whole prov
inces to his domain, until now he lords
it over us with a sweet tyranny.
Who does not love children?
He or she is recognized by his fell
lows as something monstrous, abnor-
NAL.
A home is not complete-it is a
house-untf there is a child in it, and
that is why parents expect and receive
congratulations when a little one is
born to them.
child in the house is one of the best
cures going for Americanitis, the terri
BILE hustling malady that makes men
sell their souls in the stock market and
women join in the race for social pres
tige. You remember what the town of
Hamelini was like, after the Pied Piper
had piped all the children away into
the mountain side? Well, the childless
family is a miniature Hamelin, only
without the blessed memories of that
old north German city.
Some people go in for rowing or hunt
ing when they want fun; others grow
roses or run churches; still others seek
diversion in golf or yachts or horses.

LAWTON'S LOSS
WAS HEAVY

New York, April 14.--A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The expedition
under Major General Lawton yesterday
moved u miles further north, along the
lake, taking two towns, Longos and
Paele. A squadron of the Fourth cavalry
was left to garrison Santa Cruz.
There was only desutory shooting from
the retreating enemy until the advance
reached Paele, the center of the insur-
gents military government in the dis
trict of La Guna de Bay. Here the road
is fanked by steep hills on each side on
which the insurgents had constructed
great log trenches and also across the
road. The North Dakota regiment ran
into a cross fire. Squads of five sharp
shooters each were sent up the steep hill
and through the thick brush to flank the
insurgents.
One squad of the North Dakota regi-
ment suddenly came to the insurSent
trench, halting when only Is yards off.
Only one man in this squad got away un-
hurt. The tin clad gunboat shelled the
emy was finally driven out. Our loss was
five killed and two wounded, the greatest
loss Lawton has yet sustained.
The launches captured Tuesday are
worth 100000. The expedition has not
suffered for the men to leave garrisons in
the towns taken.
