  1| Il MEN
MOTHER OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

The youngest of 15 children, sev- eral of whom grew up before he was born, Benjamin Franklin, one of Amer ica' s. greatest and certainly one of her most picturesque men, was his moth CTS favorite child. Always he re- mained' to her her baby, and she showered upon him the little add tional caresses and indulgenCies that she had been too busy to give her older children.
 It was his mother who was always Benjamin's staunch supporter and defender. His father, stern, un- yielding man, like most fathers ot the period, felt that his children must conform to the mould he set for them And when Benjamin didn't appear to do this. Franklin. senior, was all for punishing him. But the fond mother would invent excuses and save him from the wrath of his father.
 Mrs. Franklin, like her husband, felt that the boy would need a strong influence on him when he grew older. He exhibited signsfof being queer and rathr selfwilied, although in a quiet way. She was very anxious for him to become q preacher, while nls father held out for the saltier atmos- phere of the sea. When Benjamin indicated that he would have none of either, Mrs. Franklin was disap- pointed. but like the loving mother she was, made no very great effort to enforce her will.
 She felt, 1t is recorded by one biog rapher. that the boy should have T chance to fulfill his own inclinations Having spent most of her fife rear ing children, she had not had much opportunity to fulfill her own incli- nations, and ds a consequence was all the more keenly appreciative of her sons desires.

DRIVING STRAIN REMEDY.
Turn Head and Watch Road With

There is way to remedy that
neck and head strain that comes from
the see-sawing of a car ovei rough
road. The stunt is simply to turn
the head to one side and watch the
road with the eyes on an angle TO
its surface. If the head is held up
straight the motion of the car will
keep jerking it back and forth, re-
sulting in a sort of neck strain that
is very tiresome. IL is not recon-
mended that the head be turned to
one side constantly, but only as a
relief from strain.

House i'm Which
Poet Once Lived

There, in the old Wadsworth home on
congress street, the poet spent his
childhood and youth. Perhaps the two
houses are not often confused as they
were in the Monitor on September /,
when photograph of the Congress
street house was described as his
birthplace. There is no question about
it; the honor belongs to the less we'll
known house on Fore street. But the
interest still centers on the Congress
street house, for it is bound up with
memories all have shared by reading
"The Rainy Day" "NIy Lost Youth"
and other poems.
lonsfelIoW's Boyhood Home.
The Congress street house in Long
fellows boyhood was not in the heart
of the business district as it is now
but on the outskirts of the town, in
the midst of the fields. From the win
dowS of the boys room one could look
then over the cove and the farms and
the woodlands toward Mt Washing
ton; from the eastern chambers the
view was unObstructed across the bay
lighthouse on Cape Elizabeth. Happy
days were spent there with music and
books and brother and sister. Nearby
were Deering woods, where the poet
tramped and bathed and dreamed. The
woods have been preserved as city
park and the house has been refur-
nished as nearly as possible as it was
n little more than 100 years ago and
is now open to the public as a museum.
1t is perhaps well that the three Long
fellow houses should have different
destinies; the birthplace, in other
hands; the bOyhood home, a museum
and the Cambridge house still In DOS
