An Interview with q Eird.

Adelinta Peasants contributes to the
Sunday magazine of the Los Angeles
Times a little sketch of Jacob the
Carpenter" west coast bird, in which
Jacob is represented as saying of him.
self:
MY name is Jacob and am the red
headed woodpecker. Some call me the
California woodpecker, and some call
me the carpenter, but the children call
me Jacob, and | like that best of all,
as | can say it quite plain. l am
called a carpenter bacause l have
habit of chiselng holes in dead limbs
and the thick bark of some trees, to
store up acorns in for my winter food.
| am the only one of my family who
does this, and people all over the world
think am wonderful bird.
THE Woodpecller family is quite
large and useful, but l am the only
carpenter My chisel bill is also very
handy in drilling holes in the outer
bark of trees to find little insects that
| hear working just underneath. l lay
my ear against tree, and if Mr.. In
sect is at work can hear him. Then
chisel into where he lives and catch
him with my spearlike tongue. 1t is
very handy to always carry your tools
about with you. 1t is easy for me to
stand on the side of tree or post.
In fact, | prefer to stand that way.
Some bird people cannot do that but
it is because they have not the right
kind of tail feathers. My tail feath
ers are stiff, and | turn them down
and use them for prop. Watch me,
and will show you how do it.

and live out doors all day just like
the birds. After the people eat their
breakfast they make great kettle of
mush for the dogs and chickens. The

day, and it was very good. After that
| used to back down the oak limb back
of the stove every morning after the
mush was cool and eat my breakfast.
One morning l backed down
black thing over the back of the stove
that looked like a limb-and, oh, how
it burned my feet. Nellie, the little
girl who wears a pink sunbonnet,
laughed and said: 'Oh, mamma, ia

Ijttle Red Men and Women

An Indian baby's first year is spent
strapped up in tight little cradle,
such as you have seen in pictures.
When the little feet get out of the
cradle they will soon learn to run
about. Then the little red man will
mount on cornstalk and take such
rides as you take on cane or broom.
He would say that his horse is much
better, because it makes such dust.
AS soon as the little red woman is
out of her cradle she begins to carry
a doll or puppy on her back, just as
her mamma used to carry her. She
makes cunning little wigwams, too,
and plays keep house" while her lit
tie brother plays at hunting and fish
ing
But the little red boys and girls do
not play all the time. They learn to
help their mothers, and a good Indian
mother takes great pains to teach her
children to be polite. She teaches
them that they must never ask per-
son his name They must never pass
between an older person and the fire,
and they must never, never speak to
older people while they are talking.
When a little red man forgets these
very good rules and is rude, what do
you suppose his mother says to him?
| am sure you can never guess. She
says: why Will you act like little
white child?" Can it be that these
little red men can teach us lessons in
politenesS?
