The free list of the bill has been cut
down a great deal, and protection is scat
tered here and there to such manufac-
turers who have their interests repre-
sented in the senate. Brice would not
vote for the bill unless sugar. was given
nearly three times as much protection as
was given this infamous trust by Nc
hlnley. Hill stood aloof from his party
until the duty was replaced on collars
and cuffs, lead had to be given heavy
tarlif to suit another, iron ore and coal
were taken off the free list to please
German, and so on through the bill, and
1t IS now so changed that Wilson would
never recognize it as his own.

CAMP HARDING, CHEYENNE CANYON.
Colorado Springs the yellow bird ano
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. It 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 1 always go away from everybody
know-away among strangers, SO
that shall not have any social duties
to divert my attention. 1 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. l always
take notes right on the spot and never
leave anything to my memory-other-
wise I should forget and confuse
things. When get back to the house
1 spend my evenings writing out as
fully as possible the notes which /
have taken.
1T has often occurred to me that II
could do as the hunter does, and
make shelter and hide from the
birds, could see and learn a great
deal more than | do. 1 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 / could make
much more satisfactory studies, as the
birds could not see me. 1t would be
very nice to have little house in some
good 'birdy' place where could watch
them unobserved.
81 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 have
done considerable lecturing and intend
to do a great deal more-parlor lectures
and in schools. The thing do is to
teach boys to know our own birds. ]
have mounted specimens (which 1 did
not have killed specially for me, but
obtain ct the taxidermist's) of every
kind of bird ! describe, so that those
to whom l lecture may know the diff
ferent birds by sight as well as by
name. This gives scholars good idea
of the bird and its life
Zone point I 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 II they
can hit them. l am astonished in deal

Atlantic Monthly. It's 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.
II was staying last summer" she
said, Gin boarding house in Cheyenne
canyon, Colorado. One evening after
dinner there was sudden death in the
house, married man had died in the
next room to mine. His young wife
was very emotional and made q good
deal of noise, which was almost uu-
bearable. | knew / should have to en-
dure 1t 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 l arrived at the station
and became composed and looked to
see in what state l was to make a visit
/ found that the only things | had
brought were the book was reading,
with my finger still in the place,
my opera glass (which l never leave
out of my sight when bent on studying
birds) and my note book. had not so
much as a 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.
She found that there are not so many
birds In Colorado as IN the east. and
those that are there are very shy, but
they were new to her, and on this &C.
count extremely interesting.
My first trip to Colorado was about
two years ago." said Mrs. Miller. II
boarded in Cheyenne canyon at a very
quiet little place called Camp Hard

houses 1t IS delightful and beauti-
full spot. / enjoyed the climate. the
air and the mountains extremely. The
ne 1t summer l went to Utah in nv
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 eli
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 1 should have
liked TO, and altogether 1 had a very
miserable time for about six weeks. Sc
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 a 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, |
which we do not have here. and espe-
cially the gulls. Our gulls. such as

Of outdoor life, and moro particular
ly to those who have learned to OBJ
serve and distinguish our feathered
friends through reading the books Just
mentioned Mrs. Miller's new book
viii 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 a 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-
moval from Chicago to Brooklyn, that
she first began writing about birds. A
lady friend of hers, who is an ornithol-
pgist, 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
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.

on the wood thrush she sent If to the
