Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Day of Sir Wilfrid Laurier: A Chronicle of Our Own Times Ubalde, who became a physician and died at Arthabaska in 1898 Charlemagne, a mer chant in St Lin and later member for the county at Ottawa, who lived until 1907; and Henri, the prothonotary at Arthabaska, who passed away in 1906. Carolus Laurier him self lived on in his little village home forty years after the birth of his eldest son, and his Wife lived nearly twenty years longer. It was a quiet, strength-shaping country home in which the future statesman's boyhood wascast. The little village was off the beaten track of travel not yet had the railway joined it to the river front. There were few distrac tions to excite or dissipate youthful energies. Roaming amid the brooding silence of the hills, fishing for trout, hunting partridges and rabbits, and joining in the simple village games, the boy took his boyish pleasures and built for his manhood's calm and power. His home had an intellectual atmosphere quite out of the ordinary, and it enjoyed a full measure of that grace or native courtesy which is not least among Quebec's contributions to the common Canadian stock.
