How much children miss, how much fathers miss, by this one-sided purent-hoodl Happy tho boy who looks up to his father as an ideal of bodily vigor, wisdom nnd goodness. And this does not mean that Father must Btnnd on a pedes tal. Far from it! Anyone who has read tho churming letters of Theo dore Koosevelt to his children sees, as in n mirror, the picture of a fath er utterly devoted to his children, and utterly adored in turn. Whether lie is leaping from haymow to hay mow in a wild gumo o tag, or read ing aloud -with his children gathorcd around hlui, he is always their chos en companion, thoir host friend, their greatest horo. And there are inuny devoted fathers! Francis E. Leupp gives us a charming picture of one q his little book, "A Day With Father." Reversing a well-known quotation, we may saf, "Happy is tho father who knows his own child 1" Happy because there is no more delightful study than that of tho development of a child, as he progresses from id fancy, through childhood to youth. Happy because of tho inspiration thnt comes from tho companionship of children. Happiest of all be cause, in tho trying times of their youth and early maturity, ho will be nble to understand his children. Ho can guide and counsel them, instead of stnnding helplessly by nn out sider. If only American fathers would know their children, they would find them moro interesting than any business in the world, and ns for. tho children, who can meas ure their gain? Let us all bo thankful for all tho weather wo receive, for if we melt in summer, we'll freeze back when winter comes.
