la the Womaa's Horn Companion how
the well-kaowa song-poem "Raia oa
the Roof came to be written. "Who
ever has known the luxury of belnc
lulled to sleep by the drowsy rhythm
of raindrops pelting upon a cottage or
attic roof has wished that ha could
translate Into words the raln'a dream
song. Such a longing for expression of
these thought-fancies came to on
Coates Kinney, a young lawyer la
Ohio, forty-eight years ago, after a
pleasant June rata had cast a spell over
him. Acting upon the inspiration of the
passing shower he wrote the little aong
poem 'Rain on the Roof,' which ha
passed permanently Into literature as
one of oar choicest elastics of lyric
verse. Printed In a country newspaper,
and subsequently In the school readers.
It at once sprang Into universal favor,
principally with school-children, who
loved to recite It and soon knew It by
heart Afterward, when set to music,
like Dr. Smith's Immortal hymn, 'Amer
ica,' It literally sang Itself Into the
hearts of all the classes, being especial
ly appreciated by those reared In vil
lage and farm homes, where all know
the soothing music of the patter of the
rain on the roof."

fit it for many special uses for which other soaps are unsafe and'
unsatisfactory.

him to tbe County Fair and he sawj
more pumpkins and cabbages and;
beets, and apples, and grapes and!

before! j
But his little sister Lucy couldn't go, i
so when he went home, he told her'
that be would make a little fair, all for'
her and she might help him. j
There was a big packing-box In the
yard, turned on Its side, that they had
often played "house'' In. and this they
took for tbe fair building, and Davy
got aome starch twies and soap boxe
and fixed little stands all around the

Davy said they would find plenty of

i wall, for squashes.

ire net enough for a whole fair! Se

omethlnf mere.
Suddenly Davy said, "Why, Lucy!

picked up a lot of acorns, and took tha
