and as a rule were carefully
handled. There were one or two
exceptions to this rule which we
are inclined to believe was due to
thoughtlessness rather than ma
licious intent.

TUNE %, 1712, Jean Jacques Rousseau

Near the town is q little island-the
size Of a mans hat. 80 to speak-which
bears the name of the great philosopher
and refermer. On this little mound Of
we'll 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 fed when suffering the persecu-
lions OF a French king on account Of their
Professionalism. And there the family re-

q 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
nisfortunes" doubtless meaning that TO
be born into the world without mother
was the worst calamity that could befalk

Jean Jacques was a delicate. nervous
child and seldom engaged in the rough

comrades. His was a seriously strange

Waldo Gump Granny Gump was
weaver of cloth: but owing to her eS-
treme age and infiImity she was able 10
earn very little money, and she and her
grandson often suffered for the bare
necessities of life.
But while Granny Gump kept strength
enough to sit at her loom Waldo was
very happy, for he loved the only reia-
tiye-his grandmother-who still remain
ed to him. And he assisted her at her
work: and also kept little garden grow
ing from which he gathered fresh veg
etables to sell at the market in the VII
lage two miles distant.
One day while Waldo was at the village
to dispose of a basket of fresh Vegeta-
bes his old grandmother was taken
suddenly I'll. and when Waldo returned
late in the afternoon he found her uncon-
scious on her cot He ran to call neigh
Dor woman, but assistance could DO the
grandmother no good. ana oeIore MO
night she had passed into a better life,
leaving the little grandson to mourn her
.'What will YOU do. my lad?' asked the
ne,rhhor woman. II cannot ask you to

Waldo's heart was heavy over the
death Of his aged grandmother. and anX-
ietv for his future-for even shelter and
A 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 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 a well-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 reply
to the neighbor woman save to say: Il
