Welcome the Bmebird and Robin

THE bluebird comes, and with his
MARBLE drills the ice and sets free the
ponds and frozen ground" says Thoreau
who calls him his serene birdship." 1t
IS probable that there is no part of the
Northern United States whore the blue
bird will not be found in the orchards
by the second week in March, Indeed,
the opening of the month was hailed
with delight by the Indians, because
with IL CAME UweisSa, the bllebird,
spirit of the spring. BY ornithologists
its coming is usually set down as coinci-
dent with the return of the robin, but as
fact the former is apt to be few days
in advance. The aged, who have learned
times and seasons. watch for the first
MARBLE, and know when they hear it
that although the ground may be frost
bound and snow covered, warm days are
at hand.
Wise housewives who catch the first
glimpse of azure wing and ruddy breast
know that insect pests are again abroad
and begin their seasons vigil!
The bluebird. in his work of protecting
the orchards from insect depredators, be-
comes one of the best friends of the
farmer and should be guarded most care
fully. In many parts of the country
birds Of his kind are scarce because of
the aggressiveness of the English spar

The buebird does not build an elabo-
rate nest. but is content with rented
apartments. simply fitted. 4 hole
carved out by n downy woodpeCker for
his bachelor quarters is as good as any
for the bluebird. or. in fact any other
protected niche not too high, where the
babies will be safe from the March winds.
The model temper shown by the blue
bird is proverbial topic for praise, but
the bird who so often appropriates the
homes which other birds have worked
hard To build can at least afford to be
ainiabie. The downy w0odpecker who
is driven from his quarters. which he
has cut out so laboriously in the branch
of a tree. does not feel as disposed as
the bluebird TO look on the sunny side
of things. Indeed. the harsh notes of
protestation over the injustice done him
are in striking contrast to the musical

him away. The bluebird is in one re-

Mother and Son Strangely Reunited.

An incident in connection with
q masquerade ball in the vii
lage of Galesburg, Mich, borders
closely on the romantic In 1866
Mrs. Catherine Sinclair. with her hus-
band aud infant son, was captured By
Sioux Indians while the former were
crossing the plains on the way to Calf
fornia Mrs. Sinclair was wounded,
scalped and left for dead. Her husband.
believing her to be dead and being closely
pursued, was forced to leave her TAX
ing the baby with him. The boy grew to
manhood and enlisted in the regular
army and spent many years in the In
dian frontier wars.
On the occasion of the masquerade
Mrs. Sinclair. who was discovered by
troops and who recovered from the in-
juries inflicted by the Indians. was q
spectator. She was then GA years old
Incidentally, she entered into a conversa-
ton with middle-aged visitor i'll the VIII
lage, who also was Il spectator. and dur
ing the talk it developed that their names
were the same.
This led to further investigation and
today it was found that the two are the
mother and son so tragically parted thir-
ty-SiX years ago.
Among n lot of Indian relics belonging
to Sinclair is woman's scalp aud
strange to relate it was found 20 conform
exactly with the scar on his mothers
