During the many weeks that
Mrs. J. Albert Baxter has been
ill, kind and good friends have
remembered her in many
ways, until her room at home
and at the hospital, where she
now is, has become a veritable
picture gallery of lovely cards
and beautiful flowers. Her
gratitude has known no end
and in this way she is saying
Thank you" again and again
for each and every remem-
branCe. None of this could
have happened to a grander
person, and it has been easy
for all to remember her in
these ways.

on his grandmother's farm, son
of First Lieutenant in the Civil
War who, at the close, established
home in Boston, where he was
mustered out, and TO which he
had brought his Ohio bride, Lil-
liam Virginia Isaacs.
The little boy stayed on the
farm for several months till he
waxed strong. Gle was a puny
lad and his parents who had lost
their first and second sons feared
that he also might not survive.)
In Boston he lived for several
years till the approaching advent
Of his sister hurried the family
to Hyde Park, Mass, little town
of 10000 inhabitants, ten miles
from Boston. Here they found a
charming little three room apart

G. B. SHAW's many works
