be born in all the glory and splendor Of
spring.
1t is at such times that we are most for
chilly reminded of the unceasing change
that is ever in progress in nature. Each
day brings forth something new, year in
and year out. At times it is more or less
rapid or conspicuous, but it never ceases.
Like the waters of the ocean with their
perpetual ebb and flow so all that lives has
its periods of rise and fall. and February
marks the incoming tide of life.
In February the birds of winter are still
with us-the robins, the golden-crowned
sparrows, the Oregon juncoes, the kinglets
and many others whose acquaintance we
have still to make. So also are the resi-
dent species which were so abundant in
January-the California brown towhee Tor
bunting, as it is popularity called), the
white-crowned sparrow, Annals hummer
and the Wrentit. In the meadows are large
focks of American pipits, the goldhnches
throng the roadside, the California jays
are squawking in the underbrush, and the
plain-erested titmouse makes merry in the
live oaks.
The piplt or titlark, as it is also called,
is a wanderer from the far north-a
plainly clad bird of the size of sparrow,
eccentric in its motions, with the body
lettering back and forth every and now

His offense is similar to that frequently

McTier keeps up his record as a vendor

Recently McTier has had circulars dis

is copy, unique as reading matter:

OTTO DUNKER'S LUCK.
He Is Badly Shaken Up in Runaway.
How His Leg Came to Be
Broken.

Otto bunker, brother of the Supervisor,
narrowly escaped being killed few days
ago. He slipped on a piece OF banana peel
and fell, breaking his leg. A coupe was
called and start was made for his home
at 2710 Bush street. When within half a
dozen blocks OF the house the horses ran
away and before the driver could get them
under control they crashed into telegraph
pole and one of the animals was Instantly
killed.. The force of the conclusion broke
its neck.
Mr.. bunker was thrown from the seat
and suffered terrible agony until a police
man and couple of passers-by got him
into comfortable position again. The
other horse was taken from the wrecked
coupe and the men who gathered around
the scene pulled and pushed the vehicle to
Mr.. Dunker's home block away. The
driver was thrown from his seat, but
escaped with a few bruises. He was the
most surprised man in the world over the
runaway, as he had long ago arrived at the
conclusion that there was not gallop left
in his pair of nags.

know it here only as an occasional visitor,
especially in the winter months. 1t is
somewhat larger than the green backed
goldfinch, always in flocks and habitual1y
uttering its plaintive note, which has
given it the Latin name Spinus tristis. In
summer its plumage is all golden except
the head, wings and tail, which are black,
but at this season the colors are changed
to brown upon the back and dull whitish
on the breast.
Especially interesting to me are the
tocks of pine tnches which are now and
then with US in the winter season. They
are northern bird, nesting IN the mount
aims of the United States and in British
Columbia, and their visits in this vicinity
are very cratic. 1 have generally found
them IN the tops of the alder trees in the
canyons, chattering in sprightly fashion,
full of animation in their manners, and in
general doing all in their power to atone
for an exceptionally plain garb. Above
and below they are streaked with white
and brownish, varied with touch of pale
yellow on the edge of the wings, and some
times a patch of the same on the upper
tail coverts. There is a strange suggest
iveness of far-away regions in the manners

SUING FOR THE PROFITS.

j. w. harrington Wants Share of the
Potrero Compromise Funds.
J. w. Harrington has begun suit against
G. G. Trip and A. E. Ball. his partners in
the Pacific Land Association, for an ac-
counting, and he claims that he has been
defrauded out of $4,000. The association
was formed several years ago and begun
suit to quiet title to big tract of land in
the Potrero. It was held that the plaintiff
had no claim whatever to the property
and that the suit was gross outrage, but
many of the defendants compromised for
small amounts rather than become mixed
up in the litigation. Those who did defend
themselves won their case without any diff
iculty and the plaintiffs were criticized by
Judge Hunt for bringing the suit.
Harrington now alleges that $4,000 was
received from the property-owners who
compromised and he wants his share of
the money.
