Msssrs. Editors The woods are now gorgeous
In their brilliant coloFing and there is that dreamy
haEy atmosphere 90 alluFing TO the poetic, sensi-
tive nature. Yet how significant the fact that
with all It's bFiiancy and beauty aud attractive
ness the very voluptuousness Of the air itself are
the significant tokens Of approaching death, the
sure forcruuuers of the change in nature, tho
change from work 60 rest from the busy activities
Of nature In summer TO the rest aud quietude Of
winter. Yet enjoy this above all other seasons.
To me u Is typical Of the change which "sOoner
or later overtake Us ALL" Il IL the forerunner Of
that 'rest" which awaits the busy, throbbing heart
and the active, scheming brain, the prelude and
symphony Of "the silent land" Ny heart oftes
grows weary with the eeaseless struggle Of life and
beats within inc like . lark within Its cage stTug-
Cling 10 get out into liberty and soar away TO the
pure atmosphere and bask Its wings In perpetual
sunlight Of freedom.
I met John :. Biddison n few days since and be
tells inc that the Bclair road 10 10 be hxcd up

had intended doing u all the time. Just so; I
know they have been intending 10 do u for the

paved with good intentions" and that's all the
