The reed bird Of the Delaware and tho
rivers and regions south Of that stream
is the rollicking bobolink of u New
England fields. Here Is his true home,
even il his residence in it is not so long
as it is In the south. Here he is adorned
with q gay piebald coat. instead of the
somber suit of black in which he appears
when in more southern ATTITUDES, and
here he nests and sings and his
brood. Here in the sunny green fields OF
New England, through all the charming
May and for some way into June, he
pours out the most peculiar, the most
over bubbling, frolicsome, staggering,
r~ollicking and tipsy Of all bird music.
He is not so abundant here as he was in
the days before he was shot by the thou
sand by sportsmen as the reed bird Of the
lower Susquehanna and the lower Della
ware, and before a set of worthless men
and boys here in southern New England
acquired, through somebody's ingenuity,
a trap which catches him. t..
Connecticut fields are not so filed as
they we're fifty years ago with his swag-
gering and most peculiar tinkling song.
It may be said Of him and the hooking
bird that if both or either had been
known to Europe for the last two thou
sand years, and particularly to Italy,
Greece and England, there would have
been a greater fame for either than the
nightingale now has. But the pothunt-
ers for the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New York markets are destroying tho
bobolink as the reed bird, and the negro
with his shotgun blazing away at the
hooking bird (he can't shoot him except
when the bird is at rest) is fast COM
pleting what the nest robbing young ne
groes who supply northern buyers had
long ago ~begun-the destruction of the
superb hooking bird, the finest songster
as we'll as the most spirited and intelli-
gent of American birds.-Hartford
Times.

Dreamlife.
While it is well known that the most
abstruse problems have been worked out
in sleep, and the, most astounding plots
found in dreamland, still the majority Of
dreams yield nothing that can be con-
verted into every day power. A fool is
not turned into a wise man when he
goes to sleep. though the opposite Of this
does sometimes seem to be true.
Said a distinguished woman: 81 made
up the most exquisite bit Of poetry in
my dreams. 1t comforted me unspeak-
ably, and as I awoke I repeated the
words mechanically over and over again:
The COW was struck with an inverted
toadstool, and there's the end of it,"
That was the poeml
An artist of repute heard terrible
groans, followed by piercing yells from
the next room, where a friend was sleep
ing. Thinking a burglar vas numbering
the man, he jumped to the rescue. He
found his friend sitting up in bed, asleep,
but sobbing and crying like a baby. At
ter a few vigorous shakes, and stern ap-
peals to his manhood, he managed to
bring forth the following appeal:
Don't you come! It will get you, tool
Get out of the wayl It's dreadfulw
What is the matter?:' demanded the
artist.
"Boo-hoor' walled the dazed dreamer.
II have been in such awful dangerl
Boo-hool'
Its all right, old fellowl Tell me
what it is."
The crying mar sat up in bed. He
wiped his eyes with the sheet, gulped
down a sob. and feebly said:
"Oh, I've had such an awful timel
I've been chased all around by . piece ol
brown paper!"-Youth's Companion.

Abraham Lincoln.

Next to Washington the name OF
Lincoln should be err shrined in the
heart Of every true American; in
some respects more so, since Washing.
ton came Of high.toned English an
cestry, while Lincoln was of poor and
lowly parentage.
Lives Of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime
And, departing, leave behind US
Footprints on the sauas 81 time.
And the example which Lincoln
has left to his c%ountrymen, evidences
the highest slblimity of character and
indicates that Notwithstanding tie
power Of wealth and ancestry there is
u great less IN poverty, humility and
lowly birth which the American peo-
pie are not slow to appreciate and
hold in sacred remembrance.

Farmers who understand their own

One Of the greatest obstacles to the
successful production Of potatoes is the
disease known as the potato rot. The
potato beetle is now well under control
and is no longer feared. ..
Potatoes too small for sale or for seed

and mixed with corn meal they make
excellent food for pigs.

It is said that the decrease in the num-
Der of sheep in the eastern states is due
to the fact that they cannot be grazed on
high priced lands and compete with free
grass and cheap land in the west. Farm
ers' Review states that there were $780,
600 sheep in New England in 1910. In
1880 there were only 1,450, DOC. In 1910
there were 7,403, 900 sheep in the Middle
states. In 1880 there were only $780,, 900.
Illinois had 500, 600 sheep less in 1880 than
in 1870, and Ohio had &c, 900 less. Virginia
decreased nearly 100000 in the ten
years ending with 1887. Indiana lost

Before passing the gate Iof the prison

semblance of responsibility Instead
we were instantly surrounded by sever
al hundred ragged, bare-footed. frowzy-
headed men shouting Fresh fish," at
the top of their voices and eagerly ask
ing for news. With rare exceptions all
were shabbily dressed. There was, how
ever, little knot Of naval officers, who
had been captured in the narrow wind
ings of the Rappahannock by force Of
cavalry, and who were the aristocrats Of
the camp. They were housed in a sub
stantial fair building in the center Of
the grounds, and by some special terms
of surrender must have brought their
complete wardrobes along. On hot days
they appeared in spotless white duck,
which they were permitted to send out
side to be launderied. Their mess was
abundantly supplied with the fruits and
vegetables of the season. The ripe red
tomatoes they we're daily seen to peel
were the envy OF the camp. | we'll re-

appear in a clean gray shirt, spotless
white drawers, and moccasins made of
blue overcoat cloth.
On the Fourth Of July, after the reg
ular morning count, we repaired to the
big central building and held an inform
al celebration. One officer had brought
into captivity, concealed on his person,
little silk National flag, which was
carried up into the cross-beams of the
building, and tho sight of it created the
widest enthusiasm. We cheered the
flag and applauded the patriotic speeches
until detachment OF the guard sue
ceeded in putting a stop to our proceed

but in this they we're not successful.
