Let Us Investigate.

There IS a momentary lul in the CITY,
Hall contracts discussion: but let us not
deceive ourselves. for a great impression
has been made upon the public mind by
the charges and counter-charGes, and there
il will remain until a fair, square. clean
cut investigation is made.
1t the majority Of the Grounds and Build
inqs Committee were right in their award
aad the minority and the City Engineer
we're wrong in opposing 1t. it IS certainly
due to the majority that that fact should
be known.
IL. on tho other hand, fayoritism was
shown, why the community should know It,
Ifitisa fact that there Is no opposition
from any quarter to an investigation oV
the City Council. why are not the two
branches convened and q start made!
Itwould be worth the trouble and ex-
pense of such an investigation TO relieve
the public mind OF any fear that our
money has been recklessly wasted or un-
fairly bestowed upon personal favorites.

Bird Story.

Will you allow me to add a touch
ing instance Of courage to your pleas
ant stories? Early one morning last
summer I was called to the window
by a great noise among the bird peo-
pic OF the garden, and saw the fol-
lowing scene. A young blackbiri was
standing fascinated by a cat, who
was crouched under O bush ready to
spring upon him. An old blackbird.
on an lex close by, was uttcring loud
and agitated cries, and there was a
general cackle of anger and sym
pathy from other birds all around.
After a few seconds the cat sprang
on the young bird and held him down.
At that instant the old bird came
down on them. There was a mo-
ment's struggle, the bird beating her
wings violently in the cat's face,
and, / think, pecking at her eyes;
then the cat jumped back to her
bush, the young bird made off with
long hops, and the old mi few UP to
the lick. amid a jubilant chorus OF
commendation which lasted quite
some minutes / never saw this be-
fore, though / have seen a robin come
quite close to q cat stalking another
bird and scold and flap his wings In
her face.
The ways of birds are delightful,
and In q small garden you a have
many by keeping earthenware saucers
full OF water for them to battle in.-
