Who is he that don’t look back to three tiny* aa the beat days of his lifo? Say, did you ever have the toe itch? If you haven’t you have missed the acmtehingeat port of your life, • lien dear old mother would bind up those toes in wilted oollard leaves, the day* of the barefoot boy, the pin book and the minnow and the homy-head, down in the brook. Lazy Laurence on the meadow, hill and plain can never lie forgotten. Well does that boy remember the little Joans coat and paut* that mother wove and made into garments with her own fingers. Wall does he romember the Ont time that he went to the neighboring town seated in the family wagon beside hi* father. He viewed the sights with ecstasy and glee! but oh what fear shook hi* frame when the deep ford in the crook was reached and when ha would seise on to the wagon standards far safety. But aloe, those day* some and go. You can not he a boy again. The home made ooat and psnte that mother wove and made i* a thing of the past.
