William r O'Neiu Of the Pacific vine
gar factory noticed a yellOwhammer in
dustriously at work one day recently on
the siding of the factory Mr.. O'Neiu
watched the bird for some time, and in
side of an hour it had cut a round hole
two or three inches in diameter through
the inch planking. Mr. ONeiu is not a
mean man, and if the bird cared to make
its home in his vinegar factory, why, il
was all right. Next day, however. he no
ticed that the yellow hammer was engag-
ed on another hole. ITS for back
door" thought the owner of the building
But after ii had finished the back door
ID cheerfuly went 10 work on the other
holes. probably for windows. BY the
time there were fifteen holes in the side
of the factory Mr.. O'Nein concluded that
the yellow hammer was taking liberties
with his property. So he obtained per
mission from the chief of police to shoot
it. For a whole day the Office boy and
Mr. O,Neil's brother banged away with
out phasing the little bird, and it was
finally necessary 10 employ an expert
marksman TO bring it down. The marks
man charged 50 cents for his services.
and Mr. O'Nein also lost the best part Of
