MY HOME IN THE FOREST

will tell you about my home in
the forest. | live in alittle low cottage
made of logs. Two small rooms is
all it contains. Huge oaks and linden
trees are by the door. You ought to
see the grand old (Heban Forest, as
it is called) in autumn, when the
trees are gorgeous in their leaves of
many colOrs
My favorite place is rustic seat
under a big oak tree. This oak Of
which I am speaking must have stood
many winters Of snow, ice, and sleet
come with it's beautiful flowers and
blossoms, and with its wild roses and
honey suckles and seen many wood
cutters cut down the beautiful fir and
evergreen for their Christmas parlors
My seat is made of the bark of the
varaney tree, a tree which grows in
the forest. 1t is a dark gray. The
wild violets and lilies and climbing
roses are by the old nook and the
roses climb over the seat and are now
growing steadily up the old oak
Would you like home in the forest
with only birds and flowers for COM
panions?
At night, especially, is the forest
pretty, it is dark in the forest at night
but when the round, red moon comes
up 1t lights all the earth with it's soft
silvery light.
There, too. is when l seek my dear
old seat meath the old oak tree
Often would sit by my self till the
late hours of the night gazing at the
still beauty Of the scene.
Then does one hear the lovely, soft
song of the whipporwill and night-in-
gale. All the birds seem to love the
beautiful forest in moonlight.
Often | hold my breath so as not
to lose one owrd Of that thrilling, soft
song Of the birds.
Once in while as I gaze at the
beautiful night | am awakened from
my blissful dream by the bark of Carlo
or by the musical voice Of sisterYeula
summoning ME home. I wish that all
might visit my beautiful forest home,
| am sure you should be welcomew

tree standing among the trees In the
forest.
The oak tree wondered what would
become of 1t. So one day it saw a
man was comino The man was in a
wagon and he had chopped down some
other trees and was going to chop
down this one.
Then he chopped down the oak tree
and put 1t in the wagon with the
other trees and took them home.
The next day the man took the
trees to factory and told the men to
make rolling pins out of them.
The next week the man went after
