cotdd you have seen tbe trays emaciated and bruised body you would have wept could you have known of tbe sorrow and longing in his heart it would have made yours ache but at last there came a break in the dark clouds over harolds head be had been asked to go to the country the old rag col lector wouldp not consent to harolds going but as be had no claim on the child the latter was taken from him par the first time in hi remembrance he was thoroughly cleansed and neatly dressed it was then he hi company with nine other children and a care taker left the city tn s trolley at 3 oclock they reached the terminus of the road where there were carri ages m waiting m few days before harold was ask ed to go to tbe country an old couple sat on the porch of a small house talk ing earnestly they had outlived their children and found life lonely tbe old man was rheumatic and often really needed young hands to help him with the chores samuel- said his wife the hunts are going to take fresh sir children did you know it tea taaa tom hunt told me about it today and there are two going to 811saqreer two girls tom said i wish we could take a boy wistfully do you really mean it samuel her face lighting up would you like to take a boyr the old man laughed softly id like to hare a hoy around for a week or two just to see how it would seam and im hke to ajdve that boy a good time rd like some poor little homeless chap an orphan who does not know what a good times means his face bghted op for a moment and then the light faded but it wont do he added it wont do what wont dot ed it wont do to take a boy it would make too much extra work for you cooking and so on td like tbe extra work was the answer td like to cook for a hungry boy her face glowed at the thought he caught the glow would youf be said then let the boy come and the boy came at was harold samuel swift sent the message out through the agency of tom hunt ask for a boy who has never had a good time was the message perhaps there had never been more surprised boy than harold was when tbe swifts welcomed him he had not looked for a welcome but when the old woman kissed his cheek and nulled upon htm a new world wned a lump came into his throat and choked htm so that he could not find his voice but when the lumn disappeared joy was torn the swifts were not rich but they were in ecanfbxtable circum- starsees to use an oldfashioned phrase they owned the small cot tage in which they had lived all their married uvea and tbe few acres of good land around n they alwavs had the beat of food best ot an uuy were truly good sod it mts characteristic of them both to be ever ready and willing to lend a hand to any one tn trouble the mnmnit they looked in to the face of their small guest they knew that ufa bad beers bard to him had a guest come to them from tbe the aid lady ask- awakened when he heard the old folks stirring by tbe time mr swift was dressed he was with htm feeding the chekens and pigs and hunting for fresh eggs in tbe barn before the first week ended the old folks felt as if- years had rolled off their shoulders the young lad whom they were help ing was helping them his great love for his new friends made him long to help them in any way that he could old mrs swift said he was the hand iest boy she had ever known at the breakfast table one morning old mr swift remarked it dosent seem as if it was two weeks since you came nere harold but it is the young face that had become so dear to the old folks clouded on the boy cried out oh its the day to go isnt it and tbe bright world suddenly seemed to darceii to go where questioned mr swift back to the slums it is time for us to tell you that we love you and want you to stay with us all tbe time said the dear old man and put in the dear old- lady if you could call us grandpa and grand ma wed like it harold could not speak but in his loving big brown eyes there was an expression that made them strangely beautiful els tips quivered and his eyes filled with tears presently be arose from the table and throwing his arms around first mrs swifts neck then mr swifts be cried out grand ma grandpa after that life grew stth more beautiful in that humble home the lovely- summer passea away there were no bird songs now no green grass or sweet flowers but the joy was there to stay in november grandpa had a severe attack of rheumatism but he did not seem to mind it much for said he smiling i have a pair of hands that i can blessed hands they do so much for us old folks it was a picture beautiful to see harold doing the chores those cold days he fed the chickens and pigs cut up turnips for the cow cared for the turkeys that grandma was fatten ing for tnaxdtagtvlng and looked after things generally as if he were the jnan of the house as for grandma he helped her in various ways looked out tor the wood and water peeled pota toes and apples over and over he told himself joy fully its home home my home and theirs and they love me and i love them dear old grandma and grand par earnest qumore the toronto telegram whose op inions on many subjects we have learned to respect of recent years states that the lowering of the limit for old age pensions means more millions for pensions and goes to say very cogently m p hepburn news with mixed feelings a resolution adj opted by his followers tn west york in which they advocate the reduc tion of the age limit for old age pen sions frofn 70 to 65 years doubtless a pension for every needy person well irp in years is a praiseworthy- objec ttve but m hepburn hasjiuir an nounced a policy which calls for dras tic puts in the cost of government it is true that he has presented no con crete proposals and has merely grasp ed the timehonored banner ojf econ omy s with efficiency which has flut- teaxd itself threadbare in- many- a political breeze but when he has just called for a reduction in expenditures what is he to do about th enthusi of his west york fouowesfrloould add bjiotfaaci few million to tbenvmey which ontario must raise j provision for the destitute aged must have the sympathy of every normal person but the real idea of old age pension is not to transfer to the state a burden which belongs else where there is a legai as well as a moral responsibility upon children to support their aged parents and this liability there is reason to be lieve has not been sufficiently recogn- ized wherever the age limit is placed there must be numerous cases which are below the tine and excluded from pension benefits however low it is placed there must always be cogent arguments for placing it lower but the desire to extend the application of pensions confronts a serious ob stacle in the failure to recognise that an old age pension only becomes a right when the infirmity of age pre vents independence and when there are no children to whom the applic ants can took besides setting the age limit we might add there is another safe guard that should be used against abuse of this public beneficence tbe names and addresses of the beneficiaries should in some way be accessible to the people who have to pay the money they need not be advertised in tbe newspapers but they soouid be avail able in reports that would be furnish ed by our municipal councillors local newspapers clergymen and others who might be particularly interested we have been surprised at some cases we rave heard of and whig of the fergus newsrecord was anaaaed when be was favored with a look over the fer gus list it is no wonder that there la dissatisfaction among members of tbe county council at
