HAP TALKS.


N11stresS FrimrOse Talks to Her
boys and Girls.
Dear Happyhammers.
Now that the plant contest Is over, we
will rest In the shade Of our corn field
awhile before going on to the next. Do
you all understand about the next con-
test? You are to see who can make the
longest list of the wild birds which live
In or pass over the State In which you
i've Some have already begun to write
Down the names Of the birds as they
think of them and this is a very good
plan. I have already received one list
pf forty-two birds. 1t Is neatly written
and each birds name occupies one line
Rnd IL numbered. 1t Is from little Texas
girl. I wonder who, of all the 1896 Hap
pyhammers, will win this contest?
vWho can tell the best bird story? /
want you TO write about birds IN your
etters. but you can take more time for
your lists. All bird lists must be here on
my desk on or before September %.
There is story on the page this week
which hope you will all enjoy. We don't
pften have time for stories, we are so
busy discussing contests. but we ought to
have a little rest once in while.
Several of the Haps have written late
" apout Tue DOCKS tney nave read and
am always glad to see an interest In such
fhngs. The books that we read when we
pre- young influence us more than we
blink at the time. and SO 1t is best to
lead good ones. One of these days we
may have a book contest.
Remember we are ready for good stories
lbout birds. i am sure all you country
boys and girls have fine opportunities to
watch your little feathered neighbors at
heir housekeeping and you can tell us
many interesting bits of observation. l
mink that the one who tells the best bird
tories Will have to be voted as having
ne brightest eyes in the land.

THE MocKING BIRD.

Uvalde. Texas.--Dear Mistress Prim-
rose: As you have now an interesting
contest about birds, will say something
ahont the. knocking bird. The common
hooking bird Of the United states Is about
as large as thrush. dark ashy brown
above and browntsh white beneath, with
nearly black wings and tail, Ii is found
IN all parts of America, being only a
summer visitor In the North IL is brave.
defending it's young against snakes, birds
of prey and even cats. which learn to
avoid il. Its name comes from its power
of imitation, which 1t seems to exercise
MAINLY in the daytime. 1t mocks the
song and cries OF other birds. the barking
OF a dog. the cackling OF n hen and even
the creaking of wheelbarrow. II can
not try to initiate the sound OF n human
voice. AS ever. faithful Hap.
