Bismarck has had some odd expert
ences In his varied life, but the fol-
lowing perhaps was the queerest:
He had been invited to court din
ner by the czar at the Imperial Sum-
mer palace. He missed the train
from St. Petersburg, and finding
that he could not reach the palace in
time, and that the delay in heating
up locomotive would be very great
he jumped on handcar. The sta
ton master and a couple of work
men assisted the prince to work the
engine, he taking turns with the
rest of them. He arrived safely In
time for the dinner, and Bismarck
expressed his thanks to the men with

THE FOOLISH CHICKEN.

THE FOOLISH CHICKEN.
A little chicken one day
Asked leave to 90 to the water,
Where see saw duck with her brood
at play,
Swimming and splashing about her
Indeed she began to peep and cry
When her her mother wouldn't lei
her;
If the ducks can swim there, why
cant I?
Are they any bigger or better7'
Then the old hen answered: Listen
to me,
And hush your foolish talking;
Just look at your feet and you will
They were only made for walking
But 6hicky wistfully eyed the brook,
And didn't halt believe her,
For she seemed to say by knowing
look
Such stories couldn't deceive her.
And as her mother was scratching
the ground
She muttered lower and lower:
i know can 90 there and not be
drowned.
and 30 I think I'll show her.
Then she made a plunge where the
stream was deep,
And saw too late her blunder,
For she had barely time to peep,
When her foolish head went under.
And now l hope her fate will show
The child my story reading
That those who are older sometimes
know
That you will do we'll for needing
That each content in his place should
dwell.
And envy not bis brother,
And any part that is acted we'll
Is just as good as another.
For we all have our proper spheres
below,
And this is truth worth knowing
You will come to grief you try to 60
Where you were never made for
going.

The average number of days OF

span of ife-be this desirable or the

Silence and Speech.

The chief Office of silence is to bury
all that is evil, and the chief Office OF
speech is to disclose and disseminate
all that is good. Let this be done
with sincerity and earnestness, and
let no criticism discourage it, for its
ultimate benefit to character and to
conduct is established beyond doubt.

was neither thin nor stout-his frame
had just contrived to hit that happy
medium which is called "comfortable.'

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides the Feathsre6
Tribes Into Three Glasses.

Professor Washburn Divides tho Feathsrsd
Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor E. L. Washhurn Of the
State Agricultural college read q pa
per before the State Horticulturalso-
cety on Birds and the Horticulture
ist." In which, after showing the re-
suit Of many painstaking expert
ments In examining birds stomachs.
etc., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done In this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, 1t would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds In rather vaguely defined
groups, 1t is true, under four heads.
We would, however, reserve the
privilege of condemning any bird
when 1t became q veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy Of Our Pro-
lection" I would place the robin;
bluebird, all the sparrows Except the
English SPARROW, bullocks, oriole.
all dycatchers and virees, swallows,
most Of the woodpeckers, most Of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk,
the red shouldered hawk, Swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row hawk, long cared OWL short
cared owl, barred owl and the
screech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial"
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kingbird
found in parts Of eastern Oregon),
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, or
wild canary" China pheasants,
quail, rufaed grouse or native pheas-
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove"
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under Decidedly Bad" !
should unhesitatingly place the pur
pie hnnet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called the ''sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk. ..... !.
In considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
q better place, though the examina-
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in To-
cahties where their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
It is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to me by
some as consuming much grain,
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet the
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all Of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
me that they find many grasshoppers
In the crop and stomach of Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after the manner Of
turkeys.
Of the English sparrow I can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get a foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. It is noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
@ penchant for canker worms 1t
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no iking.-Portland
