Excerpt from The Son of Mary Bethel The books in that remote farmhouse of the Bethels were few, and mostly of a religious character; though two or three well-worn volumes of the best English poetry were on the table in the sitting-room, beside the family Bible and the album. But when Jesse was seven years old, and the two other boys five and four, a literary event occurred in the Bethel home. The child of a more prosperous neigh bour gave The Book of Wonder to the eldest son of Mary. This precious gift was a token of appreciation of the bravery of Jesse in subduing, with his gentle voice and affectionate arms, the anger of a passing dog whose loud barks and widely displayed white teeth had alarmed not only the children but their mothers.
