Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-16

Toby Trip was a lonely little NOR
tai. He lived with his grandmother,
who was so old that she had forgot
ten all boy loves and Graves for
years ago.
Yes, Toby was greatly to be pitied,
for he hadn't a pet of any kind, not
even cat or dog. There were no
neighbors for long distance, and
Toby would have died with the ennui,
in all probability if he had not gone
out into the fields and meadows and
made friends and playthings of "the
green things growing"
1t was odd to see little Toby return
the mods of the waving grain, to see
him shake hands with the leaves, take
off his hat to the great oak or pine,
or try to run a race with some thistle
down or dandelion feathers.
He used to pretend that the great
tall corn with their tasseled tops were
great Indian chiefs arrayed for battle
waiting for him to drive them out of
the land to make room for the white
man. Sometimes he called them
squaws and he peeped at the papooses
that they carried, wrapped up so
closely in thick blankets, close to their
breasts. The young growing corn he
imagined their babies and the husks
the blankets in which they were
wrapped.
He would talk to the trees, kiss the
flowers and pat the melons, cucum-
bers and pumpkins on their sides. He
peeped into the cradles of the Lima
beans to see how much they were
growing and digged down into the
home of the potatoes to see how many
there were for dinner.
Every bill of vegetables was named.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-16

Some were Tom. Peter, Dick, Nell,
Jane and Sue.
If they were doing extra we'll he
had pet names for them. such as
Queen" Bright Eyes," Golden
l.eart," etc.
and everybody said he wasn't worth
his salt and never would be. His
grandmother didn't seem to care so
long as he chopped her wood, did her
errands and helped her prepare meals.
Toby did not know what people
thought of him and did not care, for
his companions had always been the
vegetable kingdom and he only cared
for them.
At last he fell in love, not with the
flesh and blood, but with a tall, state
ly lily as pure and white as snow.
He sat by her side for hours, clasped
her in his arms and kissed her white
lips passionately. At last she died
and he was inconsolable. Then every
body who knew him pointed to their
foreheads and said he was "daffy."
But the lily left a spark of some-
thing in his soul that he could not get
rid of. 1t kindled into a great fire,
until he took a pencil and paper and
wrote a poem dedicated to his lost
lily 1t was wonderful Never any,
thing like it before. He sent it away
to be published and it was accepted.
Toby now had something to do He
wrote poem after poem all about flow
ers, grasses and the pretty things
growing, and became great and
famous and no one but his most inti-
mate friend ever knew in what school
he was trained, and how he had
turned to plant life for companion
ship when all other was denied him.
Strange things sometimes happen from
adverse circumstances. There is a
greater hand than ours shaping our
destiny.

THE BOYS AND GIRLS FARM

This is not real farm but a tiny
one made by some city girlssa and boys
of school in New .York-the Horace
Mann school. In the manual training
work the children learned how to
build the house and barn and fences.
There is a well near the front door
of the house, by the fence, also a
hammock, and a chicken coop near
the barn.
What do you suppose is growing in
the field where the cows are? 1t is
oats, which the children sowed. The
animals are toy animals from the toy
shop. i, The children had lots of fun
making the farm and learned some
thing, too.
