PIONEER INDEPENDENCE,


NNS~~SNN~S~GNN$
Country life and city life to-day are
made delightful by countless conven-
fences and luxuries of which the
grandfathers of the present generation
did not dream. These conveniences
are, nevertheless, purchased at the
price of more or less of that sturdy
independence which distinguished the
pioneers and Of which George Cary
EgglestOn has given an attractive Dic-
ture In THE First Of the HOLSTERS. /"
which is in a sense the story of the
life of his brother. Edward Eggleston.
In the days of Edward Eggleston's
boyhood the foremost citizen of Vevay,
Ind, was Captain William Lowry. He
had conquered his worst enemy when
he had cleared the forest from such
lands as he wished to till, and from
the first he relied upon himself for the
satisfaction of his needs and the needs
of his family.
The family grew rapidly as families
usually did in that time and country.

as prosperity increased. a calico gown
now and then as bit of finery for the
women folks.
On the farm itself the cotton and
wool needed for clothing were grown,
carded, spun, woven and fashioned
into garments. The blankets on the
beds, as we'll as the quilts, and the
sheets and the pillow-cases, which
were made Of homegrown linen. were
produced In like manner.
The sugar-camp, a vast grove or
sugar-maple trees, yielded all the sugar
and molasses used on the place. From
the orchards came, besides a great

Care of Royal Children

Whatever may be charged as to the
faults and foibles Of the ruling fami-
lies of Europe, 1t is to be said to the
credit Of most of them that their home
life Is of high and pure order, and
that the children, of which they have
many, are not neglected or turned over
exclusively to the care of servants, The
ruling sovereigns of Germany, Russia,
Sweden and Norway are devoted hus-
bands and fathers, and set an excellent
example in these respects. Nicholas
of Russia and William of Germany are
men Of strong domestic tastes and low
ers Of children. The same is true of
the members Of the present royal fam
lily Of England. Queen Alexandra Ia
devoted to small boys and girls, and.
as Princess of Wales, she started the
fashion of entertaining her children's
little friends at Marlborough House.
Prince Edward of Wales, his brother.
and his little sister are the rulers of
the nursery kingdom in England now.
They often have occasion to do the
honors Of their home to their small re-.
lations and contemporaries

Much is written about immigration
to the United States, little about emil
grafton from the United States: vet
during the year 1908 the number Of
those who sailed for Europe from At
lantic coast ports was more than one
fourth as large as the number Of those
who arrived at those ports. This, the
immigration officers say, Is evidence of
general Industrial prosperity. Most of
the eastward-bound passengers are for
eigners who have been in this country
long enough to accumulate a reason
abel sum of money, and are going
home to enjoy 1t. Others are working
men who go back to the old country
for the sake OF bringing out their fami-
lies, or for a visit: and still others
are men who can make enough dur
ing seven or eight months work in
America to enable them to live abroad
during the rest Of the year.

During the recent centennial cele-

is Of especial interest to Americans
that the first book issued from the
