THE GUIDE TO NATURE 



THE COMPLETED GIGANTIC "TREE nENTISTRV." 



It is a threefold masterpiece of nature, 

 of its enemies and of its friends. In 

 this renewed and rejuvenated_ form it 

 extends its arms to every visitor and, 

 grateful for what has been done for it, 

 says, "Come to the old oak tree," for 

 real nearness to nature. 



"These spades are still the abode of 

 gladness." 



An Antidote. 



Flee from the troubled street, 



Flee from the weary town, 



And with the eager wind go meet 



The shore and beaches brown. 



Walk off your "blues" in lonely miles. 



Wind-tossed, alone, and free, 



While still the wraith of summer smiles 



Beside the grayling sea. 



— Grace E. Emerson.
