Autumn Days.


sue Of the IIillsboro, nll), News. In

his hand at poetry and spelling Euro
pean war names. lie says:
The mellow Autumn days have

the breeze, the summer birds are still,
the apples In yon cider house are
squshing In the mill. Tie piccalilli
seasons here, the housewife gets a
line Of where green peppers can he
bought, then chops her cabbage fine.
She mixes cloves and cinnamon and
green tomatoes, too, and stirs around
the horrid messs and brings II to a
stew. Next winter when the cold
winds blows she thinks no dish will
beat It, and though we'll gag at sight
Of 1t, by gum, she'll make us eat IT,
The hazy Autumn days are here,
when hazel nuts are ripe and truant
schoolboys pick and eat until they
get the gripe. The squirrels chatter
on the tree and insolently bark, and
'possums hunt for ripe pawpaws, but
walt until after dark. The cunning
coon down on the creek, slips through
the tangled wood, and In the silence
and the night he prowls In search Of
food. The boot owl from the forest
depths sounds his uncanny call and
startled by the sound the nuts let 70
their hold and fall. The rabbits hide
along the branch, or scurry fast atield
the pumpkin vines down In the corn,
display with pride their yield.
The plenteons Autumn days have
come, the orchards yield their wealth,
and ozone Ill the atmosphere and
brings us strength and health. The
corn is cut and In the shock, the win.
ter wheat Is down, and plenty and
prosperity have marked Us for their
own. Tie turkey gobbler wakes fat

up her work, and soon her poor

In fact. before l started Psyriak had
cut his left hind foot, which made Il
necessary to mucklock it, but when I
finished my journey he was in better
condition than at first.
Not once during the whole way did
sit on the sled; pushed it for at
least 500 miles and ran beside it for
another 300. Running became such
q habit that when l got to Cordova
and started to 60 down the street
found myself unconsciously running.
