He was thoroughly tired, and it rested him to get out of the saddle. while .the freshness of the morning air was a tonic, the very breath of which made him forgetful of fatigue. After all. this was indeed the very sort of experience which appealed to him. and always hadâ€"this life of peril in the open, under the stars and 1 the sky.

Born of FOR T229 Hasaital for Sick Children Dear Mr. Editor:â€" It would take more space than you can spare to tell of the good work done by the Hospital for Sick Chil- iren, Toronto, for the sick and de- formed children of this Province. Let me, in a few words, tell you 0: the steady growth of this Hospital. In the year 1875 there were only six cots and beds, one nurse, 44 in-patients and 67 out-patients. In 1912 there v~AA\L v- ..- were 256 cortfisvénd beds, 64 nurses, 1,294 inâ€"patients and 17,862 out- patients. During the 37 years of the Hos- nim‘n’s existence. 19,370 in-patients i l I 5 During the 37 years of the nos- pital’s existence, 19,370 in-patients have been admitted, and 133,724 out- patients have been treated, a total of 153,094. or an average of 4,138 per year. Of the 19,370 inâ€"patients, 5,495 were from places outside of Toronto. 9,644 of the total inâ€"patients were cured, and 5,711 were improved. This Is a great record. Of the 1,294 in-patients last year, 341 came from 218 places outside of Tor- onto. so that the Hospital is not a local, but a Provincial Institution. in the Orthopedic Department in 37 years, nearly 700 boys and girls have been treated for clubfeet, and about mm were corrected. Half of these came from places outside of Toronto, so surely we have a fair claim for help from the people of this Province. The Corporation of Toronto grants $25,000, not only for the city children, but towards the maintenance of all patients in the Hospital, and the citi- zens «f 'i‘orento donate an average of $15,000 annually to the funds of the Hospital. .; Will you, kind reader, think of what your money will do? It helps to re- store health and strength, and gives sound limbs and straight feet to crippled boys and girls. Remember that your pocket-book must be the Hospital’s friend, if the Hospital is to be the children’s friend. ,4- -_“I_ cu“.- Remember that your money can help the Hospital build a bridge over which the feet of little children may travel on the journey from sorrow to joy, from sickness to healthâ€"aye, from death to life ‘ ‘ Please send a dollar, or more if you can spare it, to Douglas Davidson, the Secretary-Treasurer of the Hospital, or J. Ross Robertson, Chairman of tho UNTARIU Avuyevu- _., 'v -v Remember that Christmas calls you to open the purse of your kindness to the Hospital, so that the Hospital may open the heart 9: its help to the children.

He had barely attained his majority. a senior at William and Mary's College. ‘ when the Civil War came; and one month after Virginia cast in her lot with the South. he became a sergeant in a cavalry regiment commanded by his father. He had enjoyed that life and won his spurs. yet it had cost. There was much not over-pleasant to remember. and those strenuous years of almost ceaseless fighting, of long night marches. of swift. merciless raiding. of lonely scouting within the enemy‘s lines, of severe wounds. hardship and suffering. had left their marks on”hoth body and soul. His father had fallen on the field at Antie tam. and left him utterly alone in the world, but he had fcught on grimly to the end. until the last flag of the Confederacy had been furled. By that time, upon the collar of his tattered gray jacket appeared the tarnished in- signia of a captain. The quicl tears dimmed his eyes even now as he re- called anew that final parting follow- ing Appomattox. the battle-worn faces of his men. and his own painful jour- ney homeward, defeated. wounded an penniless. It was no home when he got there, only a heap of ashes and a few weed-grown acres. No familiar face greeted him; not even a slave was left. l l V ”BUL'IF’ THEY WILL STAND IHIS- -THEY WONT RIP UNDER THE HARDEST KIND OF LEGITIMATE WEAR fl WE. ARE THE.
