dealer can hardly realize the wonder

dard today is a back number tomor-
row. The best feature of all this is
that every advancement brings a re-
duction in cost. 1t is not that the
articles are of cheaper quality but the
cost of making them is less and keen
competition forces the manufacturers
to lower the price. In two weeks some
of these latest accessories will arrive

public will appreciate my statements"

Manager J. H. Brinckman Of the local
branch of the Bosch magnetic company
has just received a letter which gives
quite a list of the recent victories
achieved by cars that have been
equipped with the Bosch magnetic and
the Bosch spark plugs.
In speaking Of the plugs Brinckman
says:
In the Vanderbilt race this year s5
per cent of the cars entered used the
Bosch spark plug and S5 per cent of
the first seven cars used them. The
feature Of these plugs is that they al
ways show their reliability. This is a
factor which should prove to the pri-
vate owner that it is just the plug that
he needs for if 1t can stand the hard
racing it will prove even more service
able for the ordinary touring"

Some Old-Fashioned Notions on Children's Toys

playthings are not necessary to a child.
1t is sad to see the sort of stuff palmed
off on the children at Christmas-stuff
which they don't want, and which after
the first moment Of pleasure in the pos
session has little value in the child's
mind. They really do harm, for they re-
strict the horizon of the childs world Of
fancy and the parents lose some of their
power to build up the child's character
through it's faculty of make believe"
Play is essential to the growth of the
child's character but 1t must he done
through developing what is in the child.

qualities. A childs natural schooling, d.

aged but kept within sensible and

alone for hours in q sensible way gains
independence and self-reliance, and can

many stories of the poets life not found
in books and told to him by the poet him.

Some of them were Of his childhood.

envy, his work as an editor when he used
both pen and voice on the great question
of slavery. / have made notes of them all
and VIII tell them TO you this winter as
you study about him.
There was so much of interest and the
spot was so peaceful that we were loath to
depart. Not only is the countryside itself
surrounded as 1t is by hills--the hills which
Whittier refers to so frequently-of an en-
trancing loneliness, but there is everywhere
a reminder of the tender sentiments Of
childhood and nature and love which have
made his poems such favortes.
We were to be the guests OF Mr.. Packard
at tea in the garden of the Whittier home
at Amesbury, a distance of nine miles by
trolley so we walked down the long lane to
where our car was standing and were soon
off for another delightful ride. 1t was my
good fortune to sit next to Mr. Pickard and
he pointed out the many parts of the beau
tiful valley commemorated In Whittier s
prose and verse and showed the scenes Of
many incidents in his life. 1t was at Birchy
Meadows that the poet taught his first and
only term of school. We saw the hill up
which he and his father walked In order to
rest the horses. You remember that one
day there was an old gander by the way
side, which had come out from farm yard
near, and Whittier said he would rather in
later life nave walked up to hostile can
non than as a child go by that gander. Mr..
Pickard said he told this to illustrate how
children sometimes suffer needlessly in
ways OF which their parents little dream.
He was ashamed to let his father know he
was afraid, and so walked past in an
agony Of dread.
He also told an interesting story Of an
OK named Old Butler. Jobs HILL a knoll
about 800 feet high, was a ravorite resort
of the boys and the cattle on the hot sum
mer afternoons. Among the cattle were
two oxen. Buck and Old Butler, which
we're great pets of the two boys. They
would sit on the heads of the oxen as they
lay in the grass and rest their arms on the
oxen's horns as though they were arm
chairs. Mr.. Packard said that one day
whittier was bringing some salt for them
ard Old Butler espied him and knowing
what he had, started for 1t with long
strides down the hillside. The earth was
loose and the incline very great The OK
was coming rapidly upon the boy and could
not stop He would have crushed him, but

Pickard said that the last time ne and
the poet went over the road he stopped
the carriage at a lovely spot a~d SH'" =
was where he and his sister used to gather
harebells. This locality also inspired The
Last Walk in Autumn"
1t was in 1886 that Whittier sold the
home Of his ancestors and removed to the
small cottage at Amesbury, which was
his home for the rest of his life, fifty-six
years His father had died and he had
not the strength for heavy farm work nor
money to hire suitable help. His brother
had gone into other business and he was
to be away on business for the Anti
Slavery society, which would leave his
mother his Aunt Mercy, and Sister Eliza
beth alone. Then too, the old home was
nine miles from the Quaker Westinghouse
and he wanted his mother nearer to her
church. So he bought the little cottage at
Amesbury. There were only four rooms
including an attic, and Whittier built a
small ell to accommodate his Aunt Mercy.
Joseph Surge, the English philanthropist
and friend of Whittier, visited him In 1S47
and, noting how the poet was cramped for
room, had a second story added to the
eastern end of the building and Aunt
Mercys room heightened. This became
what is now known as The Garden
Room" The new room over this was taken
by his sister, and after her death 1t be-
came the poets. The second story was
added TO the western half Of the house in
1884 Up to this time the house had been
painted white, but Whittier had 1t painted
it's present yellow color, which was his
favOrite
At Whittier's death, by his will the house
and its contents came into the possession
of his niece, Mrs, Pickard, who had been
the head of his household since the death
OF Elizabeth. She was the daughter of his
younger brother and had lived with her
uncle from childhood. She was married to
Mr.. Packard in 1876 and Hon. George w.
