OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES

T Is not often that we ind a man
of letters following another profess
sion. while plying his pen. yet one
j Of our most loveable of American
writers did this very thing. Oliver
Wendell Holmes was born at Cam
bridge on August %. 1909. the son Of
a minister He was brought up in an
atmosphere Of culture and learning
and no pains were spared in his edu-
cation. Unlike most of the great men
of whom we hear Holmes did not
have to struggle to educate himself
He was sent to university to study
law and then. not finding that study
TO his taste. he studied medicine and
took his degree as a doctor of medi-
cine when he was 81 years Of age.
From his earliest days in college
Holmes wrote verses. which had from
time to time been published in Bos-
ton paper. When he graduated. these
poems were collected and many more
added to them and his first book was
published. Holmes poems are not
great. but they are pleasing and his
style is so genial and hearty that
when you read his works you feel as
though vow knew their author Well

Bob. with the worm dangling from

The lake by which Ellen's summer
home was situated was an inland lake
into which flowed many tiny creeks.
One Of these creeks ran close by Ell

only about fifty feet from where the

As Ellen and Bob wandered along
the beach In search Of Just the right
sort Of sticks for the towers of the
fort they were building they came up
on the mouth of the creek. And there
they found Ellen's father digging bait
for fishing.
"Goody!" exclaimed Ellen. NOW

known verses. for the man who own
ed this queer collection Of toys was no
other than Eugene Field. the poet
who wrote for children.
Field was born in st. Louis, No., on
the second of September. 1850. He
was always fond Of children and liked
to surround himself with things that
held appeal for his young friends. He
collected all kinds of things: souvenirs
from many of his long journeys and
interesting gifts that had been pre-
scented to him by famous and distin-
guished persons. but he never passed
by a queer toy without adding it to
his valuable collection. Now. guess
you are wondering why. if he did
collect these toys he should keep them
in his study where he naturally would
go to read and write and think. And
in asking this question you have al
most answered it for yourself. He
kept the toys in his study SO tina,
when he did write. and most of his
writings were for his young friend!

National Campaign TO
Defeat Bonus Announced
Henry L. Stimson Says Head
quarters Will Be Opened
Soon in New York CITY

Henry L. Stimson. formerly Secrs
tary of War and president Of the 305th
Field Artillery Post of the American
Legion, announced last night that a
nation wide campaign 10 defeat the 81.
000,oo0,000 bonus bill, now being urged
upon Congress, will be launched soon.
Mr.. Stimson said preferential treat
ment was desired for the disabled.
wounded, physically unfit. and those
made dependent because of the loss Of
relatives in the war. The campaign
will be a protest against the granting
of bonuses to the healthy.
"The chief concern of every sound
ex-service man." said Colonel Stimsou,
'is to see that the wounded and dis
abled and the dependents of soldiers
killed overseas get square deal. The
last thing he wants to do is TO stand
in the way, yet it is precisely what is
going to happen If this bonus legisla-
tion goes through"
National headquarters for the cam
paign will be opened in New York in
few days by the committee for aid
of disabled veterans. The work OF
organizing committees in various
states is under way.
