Atlantic Monthly. Its acceptance en-
couraged her to go on with her studies,
and these soon became so absorbing as
to lead her occasionally into comical
experiences. Mrs. Miller described one
of the latter with considerable amuse-
ment.
Il was staying last summer" she
said, ''in boarding house in Cheyenne
canyon, Colorado. One evening after
dinner there was a sudden death in the
house-a married man had died in the
next room to mine. His young wife
was very emotional and made good
deal of noise. which was almost un-
bearable. l knew l should have to en-
dure it for three or four days, so | i'm
mediately made up my mind to go to
Colorado Springs and stay there for
that period. ! made hasty preparation
and started to catch the train, with
only one thought in my mind-to get
away. When / arrived at the station
and became composed and looked to
see in what state l was to make visit
/ found that the only things l had
brought were the book | was reading,
with my finger still in the place,
my opera glass (which / never leave
out of my sight when bent on studying
BIRDS and my note book. had not so
much as tooth brush"
Mrs. Miller's earlier books contain
the results of her observations in the
eastern states, but she has always been
anxious to study the birds of the west.
hn hot ~
birds in Colorado as in the east, and
those that are there are very shy, but
they were new to her, and on this ac-
count extremely interesting.
MY first trip to Colorado was about
two years ago said Mrs. Miller q
boarded in Cheyenne canyon at very
quiet little place called Camp Hard
ing, a collection of tents and small
houses. 1t is a delightful and beauti-
full spot. | enjoyed the climate, the
air and the mountains extremely. The
ne Il summer | went to Utah in my
search for new birds arrived at Salt
Lake City, obtained board at little
cottage on the shores of the Salt lake,
and tried to study the birds. did not
like Utah as well as Colorado-the cli-
mate was too warm for me, the winds
troublesome and the birds fully mile
away from the house and very shy.
There were no groves where / could go
to study the birds as | should have
liked to, and altogether had a very
miserable time for about six weeks. So
at last l went back to Colorado and
spent the rest of the summer there"
In regard to her new book Mrs.
Miller said: my book is western
book-it is on Utah, Colorado and
partly on Ohio-one summer in Ohio.
Some of the birds that found very in
teresting in the west were the magpie.

tame that the horses will almost
trample them under their feet before

They came suddenly to Utah at the
time of a plague of grasshoppers. The
grasshoppers were destroying the
crops when these birds began to
appear Brigham Young told his peo-

No boy thinks of throwing stones at

with 1t peculiar interest to all lovers
of outdoor life, and more particular
ly to those who have learned TO OBJ
serve and distinguish our feathered
friends through reading tie books just
mentioned. Mrs. Millers new book
will be called "A Bird Lover in the
West" and, as already announced, it
describes her observations during her
residences in Ohio, Utah and Colorado.
The author was found at her pleasant
home in Brooklyn. n. Y, the other
evening, and talked in most interest
ing way of how she came to take up the
study of birds, and of her new book
and her methods of work.
1t was some fifteen years ago, Mrs.
Miller said, and not long after her re-
she first began writing about birds A
lady friend of hers, who is an ornithol-
ogist came to make her visit. She
wanted to see the birds of the vicinity,
and Mrs. Miller took her to Prospect
park. She was so enthusiastic that
she inspired Mrs. Miller with an in
terest IN them. The latter had never
lived in the country and knew nothing
about birds, but she was so much in
terested in them that after her friend
went away she began to study their
ways, especially the ways of the wood
thrush. She continued to go to Pros
pect park and study the thrushes for
about two years. Then she thought
she would write about them. She had
never written anything before that ex-
cept for children-she had written a
book, Little Folks in Feathers and
Fur" That book was compiled; it was
not composed of her own observations,
but was written up from different
authorities.
When Mrs. Miller finished her article
on the wood thrush she sent it to the

CAMP HARDING, CHEYENNE CANYON.
Colorado Springs the yellow bird and
gold finch which here are to be found
only in the country nest in the city.
The western meadow lark comes into
the heart of the city and sings by the
hour. This bird is much finer variety
than ours. l think it is worth while
going there just to hear that bird
alone. 1t nests in tangled grasses and
therefore is impossible to reach in the
country"
In regard to her methods of work
Mrs. Miller said: when studying
birds always go away from everybody
/ know-away among strangers, so
that ] shall not have any social duties
to divert my attention. / never take
any work of any kind excepting my
pencil and note book and my opera
glass. That is the way / have learned
so much about birds-I give them my
whole time and thought from break
fast until dark every day, rain or
shine, for about three months each
year, in the summer time. | always
take notes right on the spot and never
leave anything to my memory-other-
wise l should forget and confuse
things. When | get back to the house
l spend my evenings writing out as
fully as. possible the notes which
have taken.
1T has often occurred to me that if
! could do as the hunter does, and
make shelter and hide from the
birds, could see and learn a great
deal more than / do. / take much
pains to go among them alone and
wear clothing as near the color of the
woods as possible. Still. they are not
as free before me as if they could not
see me. Some of the most interesting
studies / have made have been through
the window blinds of my room. When
the blinds were shut l could make
much more satisfactory studies. as the
birds could not see me- 1t would be
very nice to have a little house in some
good 'birdy' place where could watch
them unobserved.
Il have been very much pleased in
my lectures this winter to find how in
terested the boys are in birds and bird
life | aim to interest boys in the
birds life rather than in the nests. the
eggs and bird skins This year l have
done considerable lecturing and intend
to do great deal more -parlor lectures
and in schools. The thing / do is to
teach boys to know our own birds. l
have mounted specimens (which l did
not have killed specially for me, but
obtain at the taxidermist's) of every
kind of bird l describe, so that those
to whom l lecture may know the diff
ferent birds by sight as well as by
name. This gives scholars a good idea
of the bird and its life.
"One point / wish to mention is the
terrible destruction of birds, not only
for ladies' bonnets. but as the victims
of small boys. | think the small boys
destroy more birds than any other one
cause, not only in stealing their eggs,
but aiming at them just to see if they
can hit them. am astonished in deal

boobies WORK IN LATAH.

The Kootenai county Ring is
closely connected with the Latah
county Ring. In fact the Ring
that fourishes in this county is an
offspring of the Latah county in
stitution, and gets its "sinews of
war" from the latter. The same
methods are employed down in
Latah as in Kootinai, as will be
seen by the following taken from
the North Idaho Star, published at
Moscow. Speaking of the crooked
work employed to down T. F. Mel
son, and to elect R. S. Brown, ring
nominee, the Star says:
The Star does not hesitate to de-
nounce the villainious outrage. The
act is part of conspiracy to elect
Bob Browne senator and to re-elect
Judge Piper. Their first steps in
this conspiracy were taken when
two separate and distinct attempts
were made to bride the men having
charge of these petitions to hold
them here until they could not
reach Boise until the time for filing
had expired. The bride offered
was two hundred dollars in each
case. One came from candidate
who was directly interested and the
other from one who has recently
become his stoolpigeon. One was
declined with the remark from the
gentleman to whom it was offered
that there was not money enough
in the Moscow National Bank to
buy him. The other was simply
declined. But it seems that this or
some other plan worked all right
with the state officers at Boise.
This incident, however, will serve
to show that the sole reliance of the
republican boodlers is upon fraudu
lent methods. They have no hope
of success in fair and open contest.
But they are willing to resort to
any means to accomplish success.
Bribery, fraud and corruption are
their only hope. But they will be
defeated of their purpose if the
people will only be on their guard.

hammer blows and the motion was
withdrawn,
The HERALD is not looking for
trouble from any source, and it
will go several blocks out of the
way to avoid it, for it is in Bonner's
Ferry to stay, and to be on good
terms with all if possible, and to
merit support, but it does not pro-
pose that those whom we have
stood by in trial shall carry their
ingratitude to the extent proposed
without our taking steps to retail
ate. We will take the worst of a
deal as gracefully as anyone when
we have to, but when we don't have
to, we most respectfully decline to
stand the work. There are some
people from whom we don't have to
take the worst of it.

in this political affair showed the
basest ingratitude and earned our

in that club that never goes back
