Why Leaves Fall
in the Autumn

From the Scientific American.
Leaves fall in the autumn, not
because they have been killed by
the frost or because they are forri-
bly, torn from the trees by heavy
winds, but because they have serv-
ed their purpose to the tree and
have been discarded by it. Botan-
lists tell us that their fall is due to
the interposition of a separating
layer which is formed during the
period Of vegetation and which
cuts across the articulation of the
leafstalk.
Exactly how this process takes
place is of less consequence to us
than the knowledge that it is a
natural process in the life and
growth of the tree and not merely
an accidental condition. When the
leaf falls the vessels which con-
nected it with the branch become
filled with brown masses of found
mucilage which has come from
neighboring cells into the cavities
OF the vessels and plugs them up.
Before the leaf falls from the tree
all the elaborated materials which
1t contains that can be of further
use are modified and stored in
their proper places in the body OF
the tree. After these valuable ma
tefials have been removed from,
the leaf. what remains is devoid
of the active green chlorophyll and
the cells are nearly empty, as may
be seen if the leaft is held up to a
bright light or is examined in Sec
ton under the microscope. The
yellow granular bodies of disor-
ganized ch!orophyll which remain
give the predominating yellow col
or to autumnal foliage. The reds
and browns are produced by vari.
Gus decomposition products which
comprise the cell contents and
which are formed under the condi.
lions resulting from the maturing
of the leaf.

1t happened in little old Inn,
the only inn of which the village
Of Drury way down in the south
eastern part of England) could
boast, 1t was gala day,-a fes-
tive day, and the long. wooden table
in the large, low ceilinged dining
room OF the Inn, was weighted
down with all kinds of good things
to eat, turkey, wild duck and veni-
son. The room was such a CHEEKY
one, with its dull brown colored
beams and panels. The only color
in the room was the red, blue and
yellow Of the darting flames Of the
great log fire,--so cracking and
noisy, but SO warm and friendly
in the immense fireplace at one end
of the room.
Guests were there from all parts
of the neighboring countryside,
even from Chesny, which is a small
but very aristocratic town, eight
miles from Drury. 1t was a town
where the password into its haugh-
ty precincts was Lord Whatnot,"
or Earl Something or Other"
Lady Thus" or Countess So and
So"
These lofty ones of Chesny didn't
have much to do with the Squires
and lower nobility of the Drury
countryside, even though some Of

THANKSGIVING.

THANKSGIVING.
Over the river and through the
woods.
TO grandfather's house We go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted
snow.
Over the river and through the
woods,
To have first rate play.
Hear the bells ring
Ting ling-ling-
Huirah for Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the
woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray.
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound.
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Over the river and through the
woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
1t stings the toes,
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the
woods,
And straight through the barnyard
gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow,
It Is SO hard to wait.
Over the river and through the
woods,
Now Grandma's cap spy.
Hurrah for the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

days. So they had a Thanksgiving
that lasted for three days.
But we ought to be satisfied with
one day and be happier than ever
before because we have peace with
the Germans and no more people
will be killed
/ am putting this little verse in
so we can all say it on Thanksgiv-
ing:
We thank Thee for peace and for

For JOY in the land from the East

For the dear starry flag, with it's

THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

Once upon time there were no
white people in North America.
There was nothing but Indians.
When the white people came
over in the May Flower" it was
in the winter and they had a hard
time, but the next year they had
a good harvest and they said, Let
us have Thanksgiving"
So they invited the Indians. But
the first thing they did was to go
to church and thank God for all
His blessings unto them. After
ward they had wild turkey and
other good things to eat. After
the dinner they played games and
ran races
The Indians had such good
time that they stayed for three

them were distantly related. Now
bingham, jolly old Squire. was
there, who owned quite an estate
(for a Squire) near Drury. He also
owned cousins share of COM
partnership in Lord Harold of Dew
berry, a thin, grouchy fellow,
whose good disposition had dwin-
died as his pile of gold had grown.
1t happened that the Squire was
placed directly across from Lord
Harold, which perhaps didn't add
anything to the lofty Harold's spir,
it's. But merry old Squire Bring
ham was as happy and agreeable
as ever, even though he rarely saw.
and more rarely cared to see. his
distant cousin, who, of course,
didn't care any more to see him.
The little incident started to
tell you about took place when the
turkey was served. There had been
practically no conversation so far,
and it didn't look as if there would
be.any during that meal
The Lord and Ladies of Chesny
were so constantly aware of the
presence Of the Drury Squire and
his class, especially because they
were at the same table, that they
had no desire to talk. So all the
guests sat and ate in silence
still, stony silence.
AS chance would have it, Lord
Harold and the Squire took their
first bite of the sayory turkey at
once.
MN, Mini" they both said. in
voluntarily; only the tone Of Lord
Harold was of surprise and dis
pleasure CHS bite had been too
hoD, and the tone of the Squire
was one of complete satisfaction
and appreciation of the most deli
cious turkey he had tasted.
But it was so sudden. and was
such queer sound to be the only
conversation SO far in that big
dining room full of people, that
they laughed: yes the lofty Harold
and the Squire. looked at each
other and laughed long and merri-
ly. Harold's laugh was little
rusty because it hadn't been used
for long time but nevertheless it
was quite good natured one
The barrier was broken down.
Everyone at the table laughed
freely; and the cracking logs and
the table loaded with it's glories Of
fruit and game at last had what
they deserved-a friendly, happy
group Of people to enjoy them.
The old Inn keeper rubbed his
big. rough hands together in deep
satisfaction. The Squire and Lord !
Harold became good friends and |
many happy visits were exchanged
between Drury and Chesny. So
they weren't distant" cousins any
more.
(Can you tell whose picture this
is. the Squire's or Lord Harold.S?)

OUR VISITOR.


We had sudden visitor;
He came at dead of night,
And over all the clover fields
He spread garb of white.
He stole into our cellar
In his underhanded way.
And bit the pumpkins we had
stored
For pies Thanksgiving day.
He tasted all the apples,
And potatoes in the bin.
And the way he went for cabbage
Was nothing but a sin.
Then he slipped into the pantry
To look for something nice,
And pitcher full of water
He shivered in trice.
He tasted all the pans of milk.
And everything he chose:
Then fastened to the hen-house
And bit the chickens toes.
But with the rising sun-beams,
His magic power was lost,
And stealthily he slipped away,
Our visitor, Jack Frost.
