OUTWITTED A HAWK.

Clever Maneuver by Pigeons Which
Fooled the Bird OF Prey.
The Southern Sportsman told recent
Is about flock of pigeons that meas
urcd brains with a hawk and came out
on top in the contest. H. S. Edwards
owned flock of pigeons which one day
were cut off from their cote by a large
hawk. The pigeons knew that if the
hawk once got above them, one at least
of their number would go to make the
hawk meal, and so up they flew in
circles, perhaps hoping to go higher
than the hawk. In the rising game they
were no match for the hawk The lat
ter kept under the pigeons, ana leisurely
followed their laborious movements.
Then came curious and unexpected
sight to Mr.. Edwards. Every pigeon
closed its wings, when they appeared to
be the size of sparrows, and down they
came past the hawk at terrific rate.
That astonished the hawk. 1t actually
lodged the dropping birds, and missed
half dozen wing strokes before IL got
in full chase of them. When it got down
to the barnyard not pigeon was in
sight-some were in the cote, some in
the porch, two in the wellhouse, and one
was in the kitchen. The hawk had been
outwitted completely. 1t is question
how the pigeons managed to check their
fall, as they did not slacken up till they
were about 16 or 90 feet above the
ground, when they scattered in all di-
rections to escape the hawk

presented himself at the Office of a GER
tain fishing club that makes a trip every
week or two TO the lakes of Wisconsin.
Now, these fishermen want angleworms
very much indeed, and they always have
trouble in getting good supply. Ac-
cordingly, when this enterprising boy
appeared with his basketfui of bait, he
had no trouble at all in doing business.
The 1,600 worms sold for three dollars
cash-and it was cheap, too. More than
that, the boy has promised to bring
worms to the club every Saturday.
1t is safe to say that such boy will
some time own his own home, and it
won't be in back street. either.
Another Chicago boy has found an
odd way of making money. One day he
stood looking into one of the lagoons at
Lincoln park. Just under the surface
0f the water he could see whole schools
of beautiful goldfish swimming about
For these fish, since the ponds were first
stocked with them, have increased very
rapidly until they number thousands,
If not millions. The young fisher knew
that the lagoons all opened into the lake,
fish would swim out along the sea wall.
where it would be perfectly allowable
to fish for them.s Accordingly he dug
bait and seated himself patiently on the
piling, as near to the opening of the
lagoon as he could, and it was not long
before he caught n goldfish. This he
preserved alive and sold for 20 cents to
dealer in aquarium supplies down
town. Of course he catches other fish.
and sometimes he WON'T get goldfish
io whole day, but ev'yry one that he
does get brings him 20 cents. That is
why this boy sits on the piling where
other fishers say that ,ae fishing isn't
good.
There are plenty of other boys who
not only earn money, bat often support
themselves and help their mothers and
smaller brothers and s:sters.-Chicago

Habits OF the Glass Snake.

The so-called glass snake does not
break to pieces at the sight of an enc

some lizards, throws off its tail in an
effort to escape. There are several liz.
ards which, when attacked, for in
stance, by bird or animal, will throw
off their tails, and the tail Topping up
and down on the ground diverts the enc
my ard thus gives the lizard time to get
away, The glass snake adopts the same
trick and thus frequently saves itself.
1t is true, however, that the joints of
this singular creature are so loosely
connected that the snake will be broken
to pieces by blow of stick, though
the idea of a reunion of the broken parts
Is an unscientific absurdity.

THE CLEVER YAkAM,x.
A South American Bird Which Knows
How to Herd sheen.

How to Herd Sheep.
A dog that, unaided, may be trusted
to shepherd flock of sheep is consid-,
cred sagacious animal, but shepherd
bird which will drive it's charges to pas
ture, protect them from prowling ami
mails, and gathering them carefully to-,
gether at nightfall, bring them safely,
home again, is something till recently,
unheard of in this part of the world.
Such bird is the yaltamik of South
America. The settler in Venezuela and.
British Guiana needs no dog to care for
his sheep and poultry. He has an eff
cient guardian in the shape of crane
which he, or an Indian for him, trains to
obey the voice of its master.
To the care of this bird, says the
Youths Companion, he intrusts his
sheep, his ducks and other poultry, and
sees them depart to their feeding
grounds secure in the knowledge that
the crane will bring them all back safe
ly. Woe to the unlucky animal that,
prowling about to steal, is detected by
the vigilant yakamik. The bird saw
agely attacks the marauder with wing
and beak, and forces it to retreat in
haste. A dog is no match for the crane
At nightfall the bird returns with it's
flock, never losing the way, no matter
how far it may wander, for its sense OF
location is very acute. Arrived at home,
1t roosts upon a tree or shed near its
charges, to be ready to resume its super
vision of them when they are let out
again in the morning.
The bird is as affectionate as it is
trustworthy. 1t will follow its master
about, capering with delight and show.
ing its appreciation of his caresses by
the most absurd movements.

Popular Science News, says that the

favor, and will not even tolerate the ne

The advance from Wichita and south
