Tho RustIinq Leaves.

There isn't anything else in the world
exactly like the rustling Of new fallen
leaves. All of the musicians Of the
earth could not initiate the sound. No
mans memory is so poor that he can
not recollect it, no matter how long
it has been since he waded thru a for
est, knee deep in fresh and rafting
leaves.
Oak leaves make the sweetest music,
but they hang on the trees longer than
most of the other leaves. Many of the
other leaves are soft and flabby. Wal
nut leaves never get dry; they perish
at once and become a part of the soil
1t is the same with the leaves of the
smaller trees. But the oak leaves curl
a little, become dry and brittle. and
rustic all winter. Fall, however, or
soon after the leaves begin to swirl
to earth, is the best time to enjoy the
concert.
There is a lot Of music in wet leaves,
but they play a different tune from that
played by the leaves that are dry. If a
fellow understands how to enjoy such
music he finds it sweet and comforting
To get the benefit of the sodden leaves
one has to go into the woods and re-
main perfectly%quiet. Then the drops OF
moisture that fall from the trees PUNK
the leaves like the sounds from a
muffled banjo. If the %raindrops fall
only at long intervals they give you
a chance to forget how he preceding
ones sounded and you are startled al
each spattering sound.
But the dry leaves-that is where the
music Is made by wholesale. Remem-
Der how you used to pillow thru them
raising your feet a scant inch from the
Observation-Disclosures the heavy boots
along and making a ragged furrowi
Have you e sheard IN such music
since you have been paying for tickets
to concerts at the theaters? VIII you
ever forget the rustling of the past?-
