The Boy, Jean Jacques Rousseau.

most of his warm, childish affection, and one day while the father was inhictlng chastsement on the unruly older son, Jean, whose heart was torn at the sight of his brothers suffering. flung himself between the victim and the heavy whip yielded by the irate father and received the blows intended for the errlng one. A short time later the scapegrace brother took the key to the fields and went his way, never letting his father and loving little brother know what was his fate. From the day of his departure he was never heard of again, and Jean spent many lonely hours grieving over him.
 After a short term of school at Bossy, Jean Jacques returned to Geneva to go into some occupation for his livelihood. He went as clerk In notary's office, but was soon discharged on account of dull ness and incapacity." Next he was ap- prenticed to m engrayer, harsh, domi- neering master whose cruelty to Jean made him resort to falsehood and deceit when in danger of punishment for some error in his work. The sensitive boys life with the engraver became so miser- able and full of fear that at Iast-when not quite 16-he fled his masters house, following the example set him by his scapegrace brother. And from that time he became his own master, made his own way In life--though he never succeeded in making either money or friends. His was so strange nature that few would tol- crate his eceentricities and fewer could understand his greatness.

A N June 2S TIP, Jean Jacques Rous- E Fl seau was born at Geneva, Switzer- " land. Near to the town is a little isand-the size of a mans hat, 80 to speak-which bears the name of the great philosopher and reformer. On this little mound of well-kept earth. surrounded by blissful lake. the boy Jean, then not dreaming of greatness, loved to play and to think. And there today one may see a beautiful statue of Rousseau as he appeared in the prime of his life.
 It was to Geneva that Rousseau's fore fathers fled when suffering the persecu- tions of a French king on account of their Professionalism. And there the family re- mained for several generations enjoying a certain freedom of belief that was re- fused them in France. One of the de- scendants was to become a leader of men, a teacher and philosopher whose name shall shine from the pages of history so long as the love of freedom is enshrined in all mems hearts-Jean Jacques Rous- seau.
 The birth of little Jean cost his mother her life, and in his Confessions Rous- seau says: My birth was the first of my misfortunes," doubtless meaning that to be born into the world without mother was the worst calamity that could befall a child.
 Jean Jacques was delicate, nervous child and seldom engaged in the rough and-tumble sports of his more rugged comrades. His was a seriously strange nature even in youth, and full of contra dictions in later life. On brother seven years his senior the little Jean layshed

through the trees Waldo awoke, and the gold was in n bag beside him. This he carried to a secret hiding place. Then he busied himself building a rude camp, for he was a poor, homeless wayfarer and had the right to make shelter. there. After he had finished his work he put his hand into his pocket and felt large coin there. Drawing it forth, he was surprised to find piece of money which would buy provisions for him, enough to last week or more. He hurried to the village and bought some food, carrying it to his camp in the woods. After en- toying hearty meal, washed down by pure spring water, he slept till nightfall. Then he was reused from siumber by the good fairy, and quickly prepared to go to work again.
 At the end of week Waldo had seven great bags of gold, and he carried them, one at time, to city some leagues distant from the village. There he sold the gold to the governors. and they made 1t into money. And Waldo had his pock- cts so full of coins that he feared to travel by day lest he be robbed, so he made his trips to and from the city at night, led by the good fairy.
 After the seven bags of gold had been sold for many pocketsfull of money and an overflow tied up in his kerchief, Waldo hurried to the place so recently occupied by his grandmother and himself. No tenant was there yet, and the landlord was very anxious to sell the place. Waldo made him an offer. and the landlord, thinking the lad was testing, agreed to take the amount. Waldo surprised him by producing the money. and soon he was in his own little cottage as owner. And he bought other lands about the cottage and soon had a great farm with fields and herds. And everywhere on his land was plenty and contentment.
 And all the neighbors marveed over the great fortune of the young lad, but none ever knew that q fairy had helped him to it. And one by one the farmers about him came to him to borrow sums of money and asked favors of the boy they had once seen go into the world a poor little wayfarer who had not a shelter over his head nor a crust to keep him from starving. But they all felt ashamed of themselves when Waldo gave them assistance instead of cold treatment, and before many years rolled around everyone in the neighborhood had learned to love the good young man who had become the richest and greatest among them for DO one was ever allowed to pass his door without receiving from him any assistance they might need.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-10-31
Waldo, the Wayfarer, and the Fairy.

and the owner of the cottage told Waldo that as the last quarters rent was due and nothing with which to meet 1t, he would better go away at once as he tthe landlprd) would find another tenant im- mediately to occupy the place. And since your grandmother Is in debt some little amount to me for rent, forbid you to remove anything from the garden or the house. 1 shall hold what Is here as my due.'
 Waldo turned away from the cottage, his eyes full of tears and his heart too heavy for utterance. He merely nodded his head to the landlord and walked out of the garden.
 But once out of sight of the old cot tage. where, in spite of poverty Waldo had been happy with his fond and loving grandmother. the grief-burdened child hastened his steps toward the village. When within half a mile of the town his feet became so weary and he so exhaust ed from loss of sleep and heavy sorrow, that he decided to lie on the roadside and rest bit. If night overlook him 1t would not matter, for the evening was warm and the sky clear.
 Just as be had fallen asleep under the shelter of a low-spreading tree q slender and beautiful maiden, with golden hair and soft blue eyes, came gently from the depths of a wood which covered a near by hillside. She carried in her white hand a wand and as she stood looking down on Waldo she waved it over his head. Waldo moved in his sleep, smiled and opened his eyes. As he beheld the lovely maiden standing beside him he blushed and quickly rose to his feet. But he could not find his tongue, and stood in a bashful attitude. He had never seen so lovely a creature before.
 You are Waldo, the orphan boy" said the maiden. And your heart Is very

 Waldo's heart WAS heavy over the death of his aged grandmother, md anx- iety for his future-for even shelfer and crust-added weight to his sorrow. He did not know which way to turn to ask for succor. He could not bring himself to ask any of the neighbors to open their doors to him. although he knew many Of them were amply able to do so- Even the woman who attended his grand mother in her last hours exaggerated her poverty when speaking to Waldo for the lad knew her husband was we'll to-do farmer with herds and fields and that two of the sons were hard working young fellows, earning money of their own by gardening. But he made no re- ply to the neighbor woman save to say: 'I shall go to the village, ma am, and try to find some sort of employment l am entitled to the vegetables that are now growing in the garden and the price of the cloth in the loom; but the owner of the garden and cottage will now take possession since Granny Is gone. But l shall have enough to keep me from want for week or so."
 "Yes. you would better go up to the village as soon as your granny is buried 1; ont It Will take all the money you can get from the vegetables and the cloth to pay the old lady's funeral expenses. Even then, you'll have to have a very cheap funeral, l say
 Waldo had not thought of that expense but when the nelghbor woman called 1t to his attention he gladly acquiesced and said he wanted Dear Granny to have the incest funeral that their little money would afford. and that be would get on somehow till he found work"
 The funeral Mns hell fhe following day.
