He sat on my knee at evening,
The boy who is "half-pastHhree,"
And the clear blue eyes from his sun
browned face
Smiled happily up to me.
I held him close as the twilight fell,
And called him "my dear little son,"
Then I said: "I have wondered for
many days ,
Where it is that my baby's gone!

editor's own private business would

general public? They might stand
for it for a while but in tho end it
would bo a thorn in the side and a

sort of thing. No! The true editor's
business is to make everybody's busi
