Whatever animal or bird does the woods
man knows it, lie knows more about them
than books or bookmakers. The life and
habits OF the speechless things about him are
his books and they are as an oren page 'c

thing new about animal and plant and tree
and knows we'll that although he continues
daily and nightly of them. he has not years
enough to live even f his hie be OF the Ion Rest
wherein to learn 1t all.
