THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great writers Who Won the Hearts
of the founRsters.


1t Is one Of the most lovable traits
in many of our greatest men that they
are as skilful In winning the hearts Of
little children as in captivating the
minds Of their parents.
Was there ever Il great man who did
not love children? If there was, and
we have never heard or read OF him, his
greatness was by SO much the less.
Even Sam johnson relaxed his grim
ness into smiles of pleasure when Bos.
wells baby daughter held out her arms
to him and pulled his hair when he
was not sufficiently attentive to her.
Byron, whose own child life had been
SO saddened and imbttered by love
less mother, worshiped his little daugh-
ter Ada with all his passionate soul,
and history has no sweeter picture than
that of Southey singing his child to
sleep as he paced the floor with his ''llt-
tie burden of love" in his arms.
Lambs great heart had many a warm
corner for his child friendsall the
heart in fact, that his sister Mary did
not fill-and when he took his daily
walk through Edmonton it was the sig
nal for all the little children to flock to
him for kiss, a kind word, or. better
than all, to take his hands or coat tails
and accompany him on his rambles.
1t is little wonder that Charles Dick
ems, "the great hearted one" was idol
lied by the little ones; for there never
was Il more entertaining companion or
one who could better make himself
child again for their delight There
are many staid men and women of to-
day who recall with pleasure and re
greet the romps they used to have with
BOZ" in the famous nursery at Gads-
hill
Amonk great men of later days Mr..
Lewis Carroll must be counted king
of the chlldren's hearts" That soil
tary, loyable mixture of n man." who
was welded to mathematics and to
children, had few pleasures apart from
one or the other. His study at Christ
church was n perpetual nursery, its
corners and cupboards stuffed with
toys and sweets and all that appeals to
n chlld's heart, and here or on IA river
picnic, surrounded by swarms of his
young friends, the mathematical pro
fessor was always a boy, as full of
fun and as ripe for mischief as the
youngest of his guests. May his rest
be sweet, this chief of children's lovers,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, most amla-
Bile of "autocrats," was lifelong lover
of children and could "SkiD back seven
~ years at a moments notice at a
child's bidding. Could anything be
sweeter than the letter he wrote ac-
knowledging the photograph of one of
his little girl friends? May those
lips he wrote, speak what is pure
and true; may those ears hear but
what is good, and may those eyes al
ways mirror a soul as beautiful as
themselves"

Two hot baths a week are none too

THE OBSERVATIONS
OF PEGGY QUINCY

When we read occasionally OF some

aroused and a sympathetic shudder
passes over us. Yet on our journey
through this world how many real
friends do we make? True. there are
passing acquaintance who linger pleas
antly in our memories-as ships that
pass in the night and speak each other
in passing''-but genuine lifetime
friends. think. are the exception rather
than the rule, nowadays.
wonder Why Is It the fault OF the
insincerity of the age, yet OF course
there are those who are true. But there
are others who feast US sumptuously,
fiatter US greatly. and. bidding us a
yawning farewell, send us empty away.
But the friend with whom one may
hold communion. though IN silence; into
whose house one may enter without dis
turbing the family circle. whose affec-
ton is sincere, and whose handclasp is
hearty, whose home is TO US as was that
