WINTER
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.

l am sorry for the persons who have
never had the joy of gathering fag-
gots. Five, six, pick up sticks, "
chant the children. but few city-bred
children of today know anything of
the delight of really picking up sticks.
| see the country boys and girls up in
the Virginia hills cleaning the twigs
that the Winter wind has flung to the
forest floor, and | am glad to watch
the continuance of a custom that is
as time honored as civilized or even
barbaric man. The first children sent
to gather faggots were the sons and
daughters of the caveman who dis
covered fire.
There is a widespread misbelief that
a faggot is a stick of wood. But an
cient usage and modern dictionaries
do not allow us so to use the word. A
faggot means a bundle of sticks. and
to say you have gathered faggots
means that you have gathered several
bundles.
Faggot gathering, like fishing or
hiking. is an occupation that, quite
aside from the healthy exercise, is
conducive to a reflective mood With
the slea ming of the forest floor comes
a philosophy of contentment and
cheer 1t goes we'll with the season
of crisp weather and roaring fires. AS
you work, you may find chinquapin
nuts or hickory nuts or hazel nuts,
and slip few in your pocket. Gay
little checkerberries, which you would
pass by without seeing If you were
merely walking by, look up at you as
YOU bend down to pick up a twig, and
il you love the tang of wild fruits,
YOU will stop and nibble at the win
tergreen-f1avored store.
When you have worked in one spot
long enough to allow Nature to forget
it's suspicion of man, rabbits and
squirrels will frisk near you. Slowly,
as you heap your arms with the jolly
bundles Of wood, quiet Nature opens
her heart to you, full Of content and
