In still another field, the translation of poetry from other languages, he was very successful. The sweet, sad folksongs of Germany, tilled with the love and devotion and idealism of which that race is capable have yielded to few their charm and beauty as to Longfellow.

CREDIT WINNERS FOR PICTURES Two-credit winners for pictures thto week are: Minnie Baum, Beatrice Berg- dear to all Americans.

Because his poetry appeals so strongly to children, and because it reveals love for them, I want my little friends to study his life and his works; to find the charm and beauty of each; to treasure each In their hearts. It was Longfellow who wrote: What the leaves are to the forest. With light and air for food, Ere their sweet and tender juices Have been hardened into wood That to the world are children; Through them it feels the glow of this great man, have endeared mm so to all Americans that hiB life has in many parts of the country been prescribed for the study of school children. Below Is a bare outline which my nephews and nieces ought to develop by their own reading: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born In Portland, on February 27, 1807. His father was Stephen Longfellow, a prominent jurist and attorney.

In 1825, he graduated from Bowdoln College, where he was a classmate -of Nathaniel Hawthorne. He began the study of law in his father's office, but the field of literature was more to his liking, and receiving an appointment as professor of modern languages at Bowdoin, accepted it. He spent several years In European travel and In 1835 became professor of modern languages and literature at Harvard University. He held this position until 1854. The first volume which he published muwiuu jiii wrreii row, iivuu me very much.

"If I came from, the family you are said to," replied Red Pepper, "I would not make any remarks. Why, you do nothing but turn around every time anything moves on the table, I have heard you get the habit from on ancestor of yours, who turned around once too often. For my part I think It very bad mnnners. You are very rude, Mistress Salt." "Don't you daro speak about my ancestor," snapped Salt. "Why, the Pod family are as green as grass." "How dare you call me the Pod family," screeched the Klack Pepper, who up to this time had said very llttlo.

"I am of the Berry Jamllv, anil if you were not so ignorant you would know without being told." "If you are throwing any reflections Of a brighter and sunnier climate Than the trunks below.

Only the beautiful and true in poetry as In life can survive. In all the writings that have been produced in the English language there Is none which portrays so intimately and so forcefully the hopes, and longings of every boy who is a true boy.

In "My Lost Youth" there is concealed a throbbing of the heart, a knowledge of the desires of youth, that will make it immortal. Here is a verse to illustrate: I remember the gleams and glooms that dart Across the schoolboy's brain The song and the silence in the heart. That in part are prophecies, and in part Are longings wild and vain. And the voice of that fitful song Sings on, and is never still: boy's will is- the Wind's Of course, we can't all be geniuses, and poor Bertie was one of those who simply couldn't. In his tender years he could not try how he might-digest the rudiments of arithmetic, algebra, or composition, etc.

His father realized his son's falling, and to give him a chance he had him specially educated by a learned gentleman. Time passed until Bertie was now 21, and must face the world. Then it was that his father approached his son's instructor. "I know my son Is not particularly brilliant," he began, "but what do you think he could possibly follow in the way of a profession?" "Hum!" the man of letters paused. "Well, sir, after thinking it over, I should rather imagine that your son would be admirably suited if he jumped the and the inegar, ami in their excitement they over the top of their bottles.

This is one of the best: A German mother read out of the newspaper in the hearing of her little daughter that the Germans had beaten the left wing of the French. "Mother," asked the child, with an earnest look in her eyes, "are the French all angels?" "No, the contrary. But what makes you think so?" said the mother, astonished.

"Because." answered the child, "you said the Germans had beaten the French on left wing." Manchester Guardian.

A highly interesting novelty is a complete presentation, on three records, of the well-known concerto in Minor for two violins, and is issued with the new Victor records for March. It is admirably played by Kreisler and Zimbalist. The contrast between the spirited Vivace, the lovely Largo, and the dashing finale Is highly interesting. Caruso renders another charming Neapolitan song, and Tetrazzinl contributes a most effective rendition of the beautiful "Solvejg's Song." Emmy Destlnn presents the pathetic little air, "My Happiness Has Flown," from the "Magic Flute," and Giovanni Martlnelli sings with marked heauty the great "Celeste Alda." The McCormack-Kroisler 'Ave Maria" record is superb. Maud Powell contributes two highly interesting violin numbers "Twilight," and the melodious "Musette" of Jean Sibelius.
