THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great Writers Who Won the Hearts
OF the Youngsters.

1t is one OF the most lovable traits
in many OF our greatest men that they
are as skilliul in wining the hearts OF
little children as in captivating the
minds OF their parents.
Even Sam Johnson relaxed his
crimncss into smiles OF pleasure when
Boswell's 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 imbittered by
loyeless mother, worShiped his little
daughter Ada with all his passionate
soul. and history has no sweeter pic
ture than that OF Southey singing his
child to sleep as he paced the floor
with his Little burden OF love- IN has
arms.
Lambs great heart had many a
warm corner for his child friends-all
the heart, in fact, that his sister Mary
did not fll-and when ne took his
daily walk through Edmonton 1t was
the signal for all the little children
to flock to him for a kiss. kind word,
or. better than all, to take his hands
or coat tails and accompany him on
his rambles.
It is little wonder that Charles Dick
ems, the great hearted one, was Idol
lied by the little ones; for there new
er was a more entertaining compan-
ion or one who could better make
himself child again" for their de-
light. There are many staid men and
women of today who recall with
pleasure and regret the romps they
used to have with Boz" in the tam
Gus nursery at Gadshll
Among great men of later days Mr.
Lewis Carroll must be counted KING
of the children's hearts That soI'-
tary. lovable mixture OF man, who
was welded to mathematics and to
children, had few pleasures apart from
one or the other. His study at Christ
church was a perpetual nursery, Its
corners and cupboards stuffed with
TOYS and sweets and all that appeals
TO ? child's heart, and here or on
river picnic, surrounded by swar1ns
of his young friends, the mathematical
professor was always boy, as full
of fun and as ripe for mischief as the
Youngest of his guests. May his rest
he sweet, this chief of children's low
ers!

than the letter he wrote acknowleog-

Dear Sir: Some think we take good
deal of risk in inviting complaints OF
Devoe lead-and-zinc-we authorize our
agent to sell it under this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear tell your dealer
about it.
eve authorize him to do what is
right at our expense" >" ,,
The following story tells how little
the risk is:
]. II. Asher & Co., hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, N. Y, have sold Devoe
from rs to now; have sold thousands
of gallons and have had just one COM
plant in all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect;
the fourth was as bad as the three
were good.
Explanation-It rained the night be.
fore the fourth side was painted; and
the painters didn't wait for the wood
to dry.
What is done in such case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint,
considers it fair to do. We leave It to
him. He may not do exactly what we
should do if we were there: but we are
not there. The best we can do is to leave
it to him. Yours truly,
