ii fling moment and interest. with an
sareeable companion, as for instance,
IN M Hollinger, there is much to
80 much to love. Hollinger sees
sEervthing. He finds every blade of
oFass that sways in the breeze, and to
heart it bears its own tender mes
saoe, He takes up mullen stalk; its
IA velvet leaves and pale gray-greens
anneal to his sense of the beautiful;
wid tiger lily; hickorv leaf with its
de1cate traceries and fine mesh of lines
fbat held up to the sun look like the
f,azes of veins in the web of a frogs
fnot under the microscope; the path
wavs leading along the cliffs lined with
ms and iichens; the pollen of wild
rloyer or pretty bluebells, the daintl--
AS of the tinv forget-me-n ots-all
have their secrets of beauty which make
their mute but poetic appeals to his
dotine eve and heart. Hollinger is
nc nature lover. God opens his heart
q the hidden things that plain man
passes over. PHYS the worst of it with
him that he does not write out these
oreat appreciations one finds him ex-
messing in a walk through the Pail
sade woods For his part (and mine ,
there is no more need to bring people
Ia to cut down trees and build road
ways and gardens and houses. These
woods need no gardening.
Allan Macdonald is another true ma
ture lover. Bless you, when the au-
ftfrnn time comes wet weather or dry,
he wanders lono and ponders much in
these woods of Palisade. He dotes on
the wild flora that are everywhere, and
any October Sunday evening finds this
lovable Scotchman comino in out of the
DEPTHS laden with blossoms and grasses
and ferns and leaves that would win
admiraton in London. These are the
souls | love to be amongst! They
bring me nearer and closer to the Great
Teacher of men, the Giver of all good,
the Maker of the mysteries of the
world, and the invisible Gardener of
the hillsides. The winds that come
grooming through these woods of Pail
SADIE freshen into song that soothes, or
else come whirling with glee that glad
dens. The skies and the clouds and the
rain and the birds and the beetles and
ions and mine. And the little Allan
Carsons and the Otto Hunickes are the
buds of nature that appeal to us, along

Dur friend Otto Hunicke is somewhat
OF genius in many respects. He is,
perhaps, as versatile as any man in Pal
isade, and has repertoire of talent
quite out of the ordinary He is VIC
linlst of more than everyday skill, and
has frequently given his Palisade
trends a taste of his artistic tempera-
ment in this direction. He is a natural
lover of music, though he is technically
adept in the art as we'll. He has lean
ing, also, to painting and drawing, and
ms home is adorned with many gems
that indicate the work of clever brush
q Unique conceit of his was touch of
the mural decoration on the walls of his
bathroom. The small size of bath
room never appealed to him as worthy

away he conceived the painting of an
ocean beach scene, and thereupon exc
