It was Robert Louis Stevenson who
said that daily bread and daily du-
ties are the sweetest things of life
TT the world only realized this how
much more would be put into mortal
life than is taken out of it. So many
people are getting more out of life
than they put in. and do not seem to
realize that real merit lies in getting
less out than they put in. There are
plenty of folks who act as If they be-
lever daily bread and daily duties
We're the bitterest things on earth.
They make life an inexhaustible
source of complaint instead of an end
less source of joy. We are free agents
and can paint life as black and as
rosy as we like. and make ourselves
as happy or miserable as We choose.
Too MANY succeed in making a night
mare of existence and attribute it to
someone else. They never become
conscious of the fact that even Fate
does not come uninVited.

To many weary souls the drifting
leaves bring the thought of rest from
LABOR AS the flowers fade one after
another. and the trees cast their
leaves to the ground, they all remind
us of the renewal of life in the spring
after the winters rest. SO that all
sadness of farewell is lost in the hope
of the future. Helen Hunt expresses
this thought very bea utiful1y in that
most delightful poem, Down to
Sleep"
Each day my steps grow slow, grow
light
AS through the woods I reverent
credp
Watching all things lie down to
sleep"
IT hear their chorus of Good night; ="
And half l smile, and half I weep,
Listening while they lie down to

The mother will not fail to keep
Where we can lay us down to
sleep"

Now is the harvet season for others

in the abundant returns which crown
his labors of the preceding months,
while the merry voices of the workers
in field and orchard ring out loud and
clear in thankful tones.
October has it's own festival now in
Columbus day. Could the heroic soul
in whose honor the day is appointed
now see this country he would surely
feel that a. great harvest had
been produced from the small begin
ming in 1892. And what child would
like to give up the sport and merry
making of Halloween with which the
month of October closes it's record
These falling leaves and gathered
harvests remind us also of the ap-
proach of Thanksgiving, the one day
of thu year dear to so many Ameri-

the dreariest, bleakest day OF all the

may, glimpses of glorious scenery IN

remains in my mind a joy forever. The
grey, weather beaten walls of this OLD,
rambling farmhouse, dating back to
Revolutionary times, served only to
enhance the brilliant background of
landscape, stretching out before us as
we crossed the enclosure about the
house and gazed off to the distant
hills. From our point of view, many
little hills appeared to overlap one
another, recalling pictures of the fam
GUS Delaware Water Gap, each one
clothed to it's summit with a dense
mass of foliage. Jack Frost had
used his brush to good effect and
with generous supply of gorgeous
tints, ming1ing the vivid red and vel
low of NAPLES with the darker tones
of the oak and the lighter shades of
the chestnut and beech, while here
and there an evergreen afforded de-
lightful contrast to the brilliant hues
of it's more gayly dressed associates.
Over all the clear, cloudless, intense
blue of typical October sky added
to the glory of the landscape, while
the crisp chill of the air was an in
vigorating tonic. Even the squirrels
seemed to be conscious of the grand
eur of the scene, and to show by their
frolicsome joy their appreciation of
Nature in one of her loveliest moods.
