This is the question that is being asked day

The Broad-Winged Hawk.

We do not, as a rule, look for gentle
ness in hawk; everyone who has had
much experience with birds of prey
knows that, as rule, they are savage
and uncompromising. With bills and
talons sharp and strong for the very pur-
pose of dealing death TO the weaker crea-
lures which serve them as food and with
wild, fierce cries which reflect their saw
age, almost untamable natures, they seem
of all birds, to be the very last from
which to expect kindness or a response
to kindness
However, / know Of at least one excep-
tlon-the broad winged hawk, of whose
gentle nature, long known to ornithoIo-
gusts, | have lately had personal proof
II | belonged to the imaginative school,
should be apt to believe that the broad
winged hawk loathed his trade, and that
he hunted and killed from sheer neceSsi-
ty. His mild little face and his pathetic,
almost beseeching voice seem more in
Keeping with a creature which is hunted
than with one which hunts. and it is
sometimes difficult for me to understand
now he can ever find it in h.J heart to
strike down a mouse or a frog.
Last April friend of mine was walk
ing along the edge Of a wood i'll Penn
syivania when he saw a pair of broad
winged hawks sailing gracefully above
the tree tops. sometimes, as they wheeled
he caught glimpses of their dark, gray
ish- brown backs. but most of the time all
he could see. even with his field glass,
were the whitish breasts. barred with
brown, and the half transparent tails,
with two white bars.
After wheeling in circles for time
they presently dropped down into the
wood. and fram different trees they
called to each other. back and forth,
"C -we-e-e-e, said one. and then, after
pause came the plaiutiye answer. CHE
we-e-e-e,' and they kept up this sad CON
versation until my friend became tired
Of listening to it and walked away.
A few days later he was in the same
wood and discovered in a rather small
tree q nest of sticks, about % feet from
the ground He assembled to the nest,
which had been built close in the stem
Of the tree, and found upon a lining OF
moss. two whitish eggs, spotted and
blotched with brown. They were nearly
, inches in length, and were evidently
the property of pair of broad winged
hawks probably the very pair he had
seen in that vicinity less than week
( before. So he came down. leaving the
nest undisturbed.
After that he visited the wood about
once q week, and usually found one OF
the old birds on the nest. Sometimes Ii
was the male, and sometimes the female,
for both birds seemed TO have equal re-
sponsibilities. They paid no attention to

Behind the candy counter stands
girl so bright and neat
With features clean. and snow white hands
In fact, she is quite sweet!
She never drinks the lemonade
Or even sips drop
OF Ice cream soda-that's the maid
They call Miss Lollipop
she meyer eats a peppermint.
Nor chews and chews on gum
Or sucks long sticks of every tint
Or sucks a sugar plunll
she used to once, but now she's sick
OF being in the shop,
For she's allowed to have her pick,
Lucky Miss Lollipopl
If You were she, you'd do just So
IN very sure you would,
But you can have too much you know
or anything that's good
You think you'd eat and eat and eat
And never, never stop.
But soon you'd weary Of the treat
just like Miss Lollipop!
