Excerpt from Village Photographs Now the woodshed begins to be a matter of great importance. The village forehanded man is known by the neatness of his piles of split hickory heaped up in the sacred repository of fuel. But coal is used in many houses, and the sound of the grimy shoveler Is heard as the winter store goes into cellar and bin. The good little maiden Sisters in their birds'-nest cottage where the flaming Virginia creeper has lost all its leaves, have been' made very happy by two loads of wood, which a kind hearted farmer drew for them, and the village lads have split it into lengths for the tiny stove and piled it close within the sisters' reach, and they are as snug for the winter as two dormice. Their wise cat looks out of the bright little window, and follows them to church still, although she loves not wet or frosty ways.
