The young eacer remained standing.

it appeals to that deep-lying instinct IN

Many stories haye been written Of
its origin, most of them more or less
inaccurate and tending to distort
reality by mass of pleasing fiction.
Moving word pictures have been
drawn Of the starving author in his

cottage" for which he was supposedly
pining, both affecting eand interesting

and hardship. as well as possibly brief
periods of success and prosperity. It
was not while suffering from poverty
that he wrote Home. Sweet Home"

comfortably in Paris In the Palais
Royal, and having considerable success
in his dramatic work.
There is also no evidence to indicate
that the "lowly matched cottage" had
any existence outside of the authors

has been built up about the Easthamp-

deep affection for his native land. his

longing for the society Of those he
loved and his appreciation Of the home
