"A comfortable position on the old butternut." 



A Day With the Squirrels. 



I have never been able to explain satisfactorily to myself 

 why it is that scenes and incidents transpiring in the early 

 days of my life remain as fresh in memory and are more 

 vivid today than they were twenty years ago. Very likely it 

 is because "the morning of life is full of purity, imagery and 

 harmony." Be that as it may, we know that as we advance 

 in years the scenes and incidents of early life come back to 

 us as fresh and well defined as though they occurred but 

 yesterday. 



Times have changed and many matters of far greater 

 importance have taken place in my life since that autumn
