YHAT CAM THE FARMER EXPECT

Animals Appeal To Children
Eugene Iavenport In the Country
Cei'.lieii'.an says: Though i.mst chil
dren love flowers, iitnl though boys
take to trees sis ducks to water, yet in
general it is not vegetation nor scenery
that most impre: . children. It is
animal life that : tikes the great ap
peal. "There is something about animal
life to which childhood instinctively
anil in-ilantl,v respo::s. If is a pow
erful asset in development, for It lasts
out of childhood into youth; out of
adolescence into iimnhood und woman
hood. I'.esldes, the society of animals

animal life is mii oui.v the best anti

Crowd Listening to the Late Senator
Famous
Building
Intertwined
With
Country's
History
Rich in
Noble
Memories
A building of serenity and sym
metry, of fine amplitude, a gracious,
alluring building, rich In noble mem
ories, yet touched alio with a living
sweetness; such Is the beautiful old
State house In Philadelphia, often re
ferred to as Independence hall. And
It stood here, and was even then a
building of age and dignity, when Sir
Walter Scott said to Washington Irv
ing, with a tolerant condescension
which he meant to be flattering, "The
vast aboriginal trees that have shel
tered the Indians before the Intrusion
of the white man, are the monuments
and antiquities of your country!"
Scott was quite ignorant of the fact
that America had architecture ; to him,
ur country had merely trees, al
though this building, and some other
American bulldlngx, were richer In
beauty and In nohle assiciatlon than
quite a number of those In his own
land of which he wrote with such en
thusiasm. Scott was deeply impressed by the
thought of our Illimitable forests. lie
longed to see one, as Dickens lontred
to see an American prairie. And had
Scott come over here, and had he seen
not only a forest but this State house,
his Imagination would have been fired,
and he mf:ht have written a jrreat
novel atwut America, rich in details
of the Revolutionary leaders, with the
picturesque John Hancock, in scarlet
coat and corked hat with black cock
ade, entering this Imlldinir to preside
at the signing of the Decl(irntlin. . . .
Beautiful in Many Ways.
The State house, "Imlcjiendence
BaU," was planned In 1729 ami com
pleted, except as to wing and tower,
five years later ; quite old enough, one
sees, to satisfy even a Walter Scott I
But It must not be thought that it Is
beautiful or interesting principally on
account of age. Ago adds to a beauti
ful buil&sf tie salt d laror of ttoo,

the romantic patina, literal or meta
phorical, that comes with the decades.
But this State house Is beautiful In
Itself; It was beautiful when It was
young and new ; it will remain beauti
ful as long as It stands, with Its tradi
tions growing more Interesting with
time. After all, Philadelphia 'was the
largest and richest Colonial city of
Orent P.ritain, and so It was nntunil
that a (ine administrative structure
should fe built here. And it was put
up In the same period which saw the
const ruction of two other admirable
state houses, that of Huston (not the
stately pillared building of the pres
ent tim. but the delightful ancient
state house), and the charming State
house of Annapolis. All three are
lessons in goiid taste, In positive
beauty. And the Philadelphia struc
ture Is the finest of the three. . . .
Hie State house Is a beautiful
building, alike in its mass effects and
In its smallest details, In the views of
it from the exterior or in rooms
within. Its facade is exactly centered,
and similarly winged and arciided at
right and left. It is beautiful and It Is
balanced.
Viewed From the Outside.
Seen from Independence square.
which is a large open space, stone
paved, with intervening surfaces of
grass and fair-sized trees, it Is a tow
ered building of time-mellowed brick,
with white window stones, with small
ish pillared doorway benJbth a tower
built outside the lines f the main
building, and, over this doorway, a
splendid Palladian window. Above
are cornicings, and a fetching, bulg
ing, bow-fronted window, and above
this Is a clock-tower, square at the
bottom and rising In eight-sided dimi
nutions to a slx-slded narrow pinnacle
which is topjied by a trident-Uke
weatherviine of gilt.
" Enter beneath the triple Palladian
window, with Its heavy muntins, and
passing by tbe foot of the finest stairs
ia America, you enter a broad and
brick paved central hall; and there
comes the sense of a glory of white,
with t'u lies of mahogany and darkish
green.
The rooms are serenely beautiful;
they are ilicoiiied. large and light;
there are pllars and pilasters, there
are iharniit.g coriibvs, there are pan
els; in every direction one sees beau
tiful corners or vistas or entrance-

ways. The views through the archeo
of the room of the Supreme court,
Into and across the Hall of the Sign
ing, defined by those three pllaste. pd
arches, is astonishingly effective."
At the foot of the wonderful stalra
now stands the Liberty bell, upon
which may still be read the Bible
verse which long before the Revolu
tion was cast upon It by Its makers:
"Proclaim liberty throughout all the
land, upon all the Inhabitants thereof."
Many Lovely Vistas. ,
The stair mounts, ramp by ramp,
within the great tower; a broad stair
with broad trends and low risers; and
on the second floor, as on the first,
there are everywhere loir: and lovely
vistas of distinction. And on the sn
ond floor Is a great banqueting ball,
entered through a delicately bell
flowered doorway topped by a beauti
ful fiuili,"ht, occupying the entire
length of the building; and at each
end of the great room Is a broad fire
place, with the Intent Hint the two
