Everybody laughs when they hear

that grandfather drives about in a
hearse instead of a carriage" says
Miss Harrison. And all this needs a
bit of explanation.
You see. the peculiar names come
naturally. When a child is born in

WILL CARLETON, .
POET OF HUMANITY

IT seems strange that after so many
years the homely. human poems of
Will Carleton have found their way
into a pictured representation.
None of the modern poets has
written more wonderfully close to
the soil than did this gentle man.
Born and reared on a farm. he never
lost his love for nature. AS a boy he
wrote bits of crude verse, and. stand
ing on a fence or some hilloek near
the pasture. where he was watching
the cows. he would declaim his own
maiden efforts to imaginary au-
diences.
His fame came with his first long
poem, Betsy and I Are Out" which
was copied all over the English,
speaking world. But nothing gained
him more affection than his twin
poems, "Over the Hill to the Poor
House." and "Over the Hill From the
Poor House." in which he jewels the
golden crown of mother love.
1t is on these two poems that Will
liam Fox has based the story told
in his picture, "Over the HILL" which
has been shown to crowded houses in
New York for many months.
