SEASONABLE MOODS.
Some Men Have Different Desires in ihs
Different Seasons.

With the falling of the leaves, falls
my lazy disposition" said the man Of
moods. II have sort of q vacation
feeling throughout the summer season.
but when autumn comes l feel as
though | was in for work and my lazy
feeling departs. With the passing OF
the vacation feeling comes the one of
longing for long tramps in the woods,
with the sun shining down through the
many colored leaves, and the whirr of
the ruffed grouse greeting the ear.
Say, aren't you ever affected with
moods of the season? No? Well. you
are in luck. for If man who has
moods can't crafty them he is to be
pitied. If he can crafty them. is one
of the happiest Of men. Now, | begin
with the first of the SHOWS going off in
the spring. and | keep it up until the
next snow flies in the fall of the year.
When the snow first goes away. | feel
as though | wanted to commune with
myself for Il while. and | go out be
hind the barn with a jackknife and a
piece of cedar. | want chew of to-
bacco in my mouth the jackknife in
one hand and the cedar in the other.
and there while I am making some of
the handsomest shavings man ever
made, l enjoy looking off over the
drifts and seeing the blotches of
ground sticking through.
Then comes the time when the
trout are biting. The swollen brook in
the spring starts my desire for fishing,
and | can hardly contain myself until
| have a Whack at those fish. | am
happy once more when Strolling along
the banks Of brooks fishing in the pools
or out in boat fishing with live bait.
Later the fly fishing on the placid
waters suits my fancy, and then be
gins the summer season when | long
for the salt sea air and the deep sea
fishing with dreamy days lounging on
the rocks at some seaside resort.
Later comes my desire to see sport
of some sort. and | witness football.
and about this time ! am ready to
work once more. In the meantime
however, | want to set out for day or
two at time to try for the deer or for
the birds. ana then it is too cold for
me. and | am ready to stay indoors
and devote myself to keeping warm
and working until another spring rolls
around with its attractions.

if they are properly treated"
