for Killing the Bird.

for Killing the Bird.
Most interesting of the birds that
we saw on our daily way to the pas
ture, says a writer in the Atlantic,
were the gulls, great, beautiful, snowy
creatures, who looked strangely out of
place so far away from the seashore.
Stranger, too, than their change of
residence was their change of man.
ners, from the wild, unapproachable
sea birds, soaring and diving and APP
parently spending their lives on wings.
From this high place in our thoughts,
from this realm of poetry and my
story to come down almost to the tame
ness of the barnyard fowl is marvel
GUS transformation, and one is tempt
ed to believe the solemn announce
ment of the Salt Lake prophet that the
Lord sent them to his chosen people.
The occasion of this alleged special
favor to the Latter Day Saints was the
advent about twenty years ago of
clouds of grasshoppers, before which
the crops of the western states and
territories were destroyed as by fire.
1t was then. in their hour of greatest
need, when the food upon which de-
pended a whole people was threatened,
that these beautiful winged messengers
appeared. In large hocks they came,
from no one knows where, and settled
like SO many sparrows all over
the land, devouring almost without
ceasing the hosts of the foe. The
crops were saved, and all Deseret re-
joiced. Was it any wonder that peo-
pie trained to regard the head of their
church as the direct representative of
the highest should believe these to be
L.
cordingly cherish them? Well would
it be for themselves if other Christian
peoples were equally believing, and
protected and cherished other winged
messengers sent just as truly to pro-
tect their crops The shrewd man who
welded the destinies of his people be-
side the Salt lake secured the future
usefulness o. what they considered the
miraculous visitation by fixing pen
atty of five dollars upon the head of
every gull in the territory. And now,
the birds having found congenial nest
ing places on solitary islands in the
lake, their descendants are SO fearless
and so tame that they habitually fol-
low the plow like a flock of chickens,
rising from almost under the feet of
the Indifferent horses and settling
down at once in the furrow behind,
seeking out grubs and larvae and mice
and moles that the plow has disturbed
in its passage. The Mormon cu1tiva-
tor has sense enough to appreciate
such service and no man or boy dreams
of lifting, a finger against his best
friend. Extraordinary indeed was this
sight to eyes accustomed to seeing
every bird that attempts to render
such like service shot and shared and
swept from the face of the earth. Our
hearts warmed toward the ''Sons of
Zion,' and our respect for their intel
ligence increased as we hurried down
to the field to see this latter-day won
der.

years ago. 1t wasn't one of your fin
de steele affairs of honor, nor was it a
glove contest for points; it was simply
an attempt to decide who was able to
give and take the most punishment.
Two burly fellows in our prospecting
party had difference which they
wanted to settle by shooting each
other, and it was only by disarming
them both that we saved their bullets.
The men were very surly after being
deprived of their six-shooters and for
several hours did not speak. Then
they approached each other and con-
versed with calmness which some of
the party mistook for a burial of the
hatchet, and the wag of the crowd
handed over his plug and invited them
to chew the pipe of peace A few
minutes afterward each man lounged
off into the adjoining timber, going in
opposite directions. Feeling nervous,
struck out after them. 1 lost the
track of the man was following, and
despaired of finding him until 1 heard
a thud, like a mans skull being bat
tered. 1 followed up the sound and
was soon the spectator of g brutal duel
on the old Indian plan. The men had
drawn lots for first blow, and the loser
had stood his ground while his adver-
sary tried to fell him with something
very like a club. As provided in the
code the men took turns in giving and
receiving blows, and when 1 got up

to brain the other. Each had his face
covered with blood and was beginning
to be feeble. stood for a moment
