The industrious Yellow Hammer.

vinegar factory noticed yellow hammer
industriously at work one day ON the
siding of the factory building. Mr.
O'Neill watched the bird for some time,
and inside of an hour it had cut a
round hole two or three inches in di-
ameter through the inch planklng. Mr..
O'Neill is not o mean man and II the
bird cared to make its home in his vine-
gar factory-why, it was all right. Next
day, however, he noticed that the vel
low hammer was engaged on another
hole. "It's for back door, F" thought
the owner of the building. But after il
had finished the back door it cheerfully
went to work on the other holes, prob
ably for windows. By the time there
were Is holes in the side of the factory
Mr.. O'Neill concluded that the yellow
hammer was taking liberties with his
property. So he obtained permission
from the chief of police to shoot it. Fol
a whole day the Office boy and Mr.
O'Neill's brother banged away withou
