Young Field a Typical Boy.
Almost everybody In Lakewood knows
the Field boy by sight; but very few of
them know how thoroughly his life Is
filed with constant and arduous effort.
At present he dresses In deep mourn
ing. He is gentle. unaffected and frank
in manner, like dozens OF other boys.
and he likes pretty much the Same
things, such as tops and kites and mar
bles and guns. and all sorts OF boyish
sports.
Some time ago The was attacked With
rheumatism at his home in Chicago. and
he was taken to Lakewood at the re-
quest of his grandfather, who thought
that the bracing air OF that locality
would tend to win back his health. HS
is receiving his education from q tupr
of the Chicago University, preparatory
to entering a college,
At Z o'clock In the morning he Is up
and about, whistling in boy fashion, or
frolicking with his dog. After breakfast
he puts on his riding toys and telephones
TO the groom at the stables to bring
around MS pony. AcN iili'AueSs' 'eA.S' ~
is cantering over the smooth roads around
Lakewood.
A five-mfSs canter and he Is back agaiE,
ready for his morning studies. Arithmetic
he does not like very much. 1t is too dry
and prosy to suit his rather imaginative
nature But he does his sums with fine
perseverance,.
Then comes history. which has very
high place In his regard: In this pnrticu-
lar study Master Field does not have to
be spurred. Then comes a lesson in gram
tough proposition.
This brings him up to, II o'clock, by
which time he is rather tired. He usually
goes to his own room and rests until
luncheon after which he amuses himself
according to his bent Of mind until 2
o'clock.
AT 2 O'clock he is again In the study
room with his tutor, ready for geometry
| Geography comes next and proves to be
| somewhat Of a relief from the dry bones
of geometry. Other standard studies fol-
| low. and late In tho afternoon the young
| heir of the Field millions is ready for his
| grind in Latin.
After Latin 1t is only step to French.
AT o'clock he is through for the day.
He Is then very tired boy and is will
ing to cry quits with his tutor.
