picnics together and skated In the
winter.
But the most fun OF all they had
after their fathers gave each child a

TO ride. Then indeed they had good

The children were up betimes, tele-

everything needed was remembered
and planning last minute fun. All the
work OF the picnic had been divided up
so Il wouldn't be too hard for any one
person. The boys mother was TO pre-
pare sandwiches and pickles; James
mother was to furnish rolls and ween-
les for the crowd and each family was
to bring cookies and apples for their
own number.
To the boys was assigned the task OF
getting materials for the fire and Jane
was 10 buy and fold napkins for every
body. The boys walked over TO the
park the evening before and picked
out what they thought was the best

EDGAR ALLAN POE
(Born January 10, 1900

XTU UHEN we think Of the great
writer's OF America we must
~ not fail to recall Edgar Allan
Wv Poe, whose birthday annivers-
airy falls on the 18th OF this month.
He was born IN Boston and when still
a little boy he was left entirely alone
in the world upon the death OF his
father and mother. who had made a
scant living by acting upon the stage.
The little boy left thus friendless
aroused the pity OF some wealthy peo-
Pile who took him under their care.
So anxious were they to make the
boys life an easy pleasant one that
they made things too easy for him
and spoiled the boy by showering at
tentlons and money upon and giving
him his own way in everything.
Now you know that Il Is not good
for any one TO have everything he
wants whenever and however he wants
Il, and you can imagine the effect this
treatment would have upon a little
boy who had never had anything that
he wanted before. The more he got
the more he wanted and very soon he
began indulging himself In little pleas
ures that were not good for a young
boy.

her father, here We goi" And setting
stiff pace he led the party around
back home.
So carefully had the packages been
done up and so evenly had they been
divided that II was only the work Of a
minute to load up tho crowd and con
tinue on the way over TO the park
There the party dismounted, tied the
horses to a nearby railing and the
picnic was TO begin.
Harry unpacked the kindling-his
load, laid the FIRE and put the bit OF
paper just right for lighting while the
two fathers went in search OF larger
wood and the mothers set to work
opening parcels.

How many poor boys would have
