may employ somebody else or YOU may
not have your chimney swept at all. but he

Autumn TintS.

probably not one person in a thousand
knows jest why leaves change their color
in the fall" remarked an eminent botanist
the other day to a reporter for The
Star. The green matter in the It's
sues of a leaf is composed of two
colors. red and blue. When the sap
ceases TO flow il the autumn the natural
growth of the tree is retarded and oxidation
of the tissue takes place. Under certain
conditions the green of the leaf changes to
red; under different aspects. it takes on a
yellow or brown hue. The difference in
color is due to the difference in combina-
tons of the original constituents of the
green tissues. and to the varying condition
OF climate, exposure and soil. A dry, hot
climate produces more brilliant foliage
than one that is damp and cool This is
the reason t.iat American autumns are so
mucn more gorgeous than these of England
and Scotland
There are several things about leaves,
however. that even science cannot explain
For instance, why one of two trees crow
ing side by side, of the same age and hay-
ing Inc same exposure, should take on a
brilliant red in the fail and the other should
turn yellow. or why one branch of a tree
should be highly coiored and the rest M
the tree have only yellow tint are aues-
tons that are as impossible to answer as
why one member OF family should be per
fectly healthy and another sickIy Ma
pies anG oaks have the brightest colors
People should be careful not to touch
the gorgeous red and yellow autumn leaves
or shrubs and climbing plants which are
not known to be harmless. Our two pois-
onous native plants display the most bril-
liant autumnal colors of any species in
our woods and highways. The poisonous
sumsch resembles group of young ash
trees. The poisonous ivy resembles the
harmless woodbine Its leaves, however
have but three leaflets, while those of the
woodbine have i've.

she was on train westward bound from
New York. and travelling in her party was
fresh young man from the second largest
city In the United States, who was dis
posed to guy Chicago and Chicago peopIe
as persons of his environment are inclined
to do.
She rather permitted his little jollying at
'he beginning of the trip, having better
manners than he had, but she began to
grow weary after awhile and sought to get
even.
1t happened at a station about fifty miles
out from Chicago, when a man weighing at
least three hundred and fifty pounds. and
not under six feet five inches in height
came aboard the train.
A few minutes later the Young man from,
New YORK, who had been out in the smok-
ing compartment came back to the Young
woman from Chicago.

ductor, who had a home in Chicago him
self.
When the conductor arrived on the scene
the girl took him in hand at once
You understand" she said, that this
gentleman says that large party is a Chi
cago man. and 1 say he is not?"
Il do" replied the conductor as II he
were under oath. 80
Very good. 1 say he isn't Chicago
man because he is only a Chicago boy
Isn't that correct?"
1T is" said the conductor solemnly and
the entire car load Of passengers rose as
one man and told the New Yorker that he
had lost the bet. and If he didn't want to go
back east, feet foremost, he had better pay
it.
Which he did.
