islands in search of birds which have been
eXterminated in the United States, such as
the blue heron.
He is not fond of taking people with
him into the woodland; he will take no one
unless he knows that person is a lover of
birds. He treats the birds as a gentleman
treats his friends, introducing only desir-
able acquaintance to them. Men who have
accompanied him into the woods speak
with tmazement of his intimacy with every
thing that flies.
The moment we entered the shady pre-
cincts of the woodland" said Stephen
Chalmers, a plantation overseer, who ac-
companied him on one of his expeditions
in Jamaica, 'Kellogg's manner changed.
He had been talking to me about his ad-
ventures in various parts of America, but
Instantly he forgot my very existence and
began calling to his beloved birds. What
puzzled me was that the birds seemed 10
know him.
Somewhere among the trees a wood
pecker called. The call was answered,
seemingly by another bird where Kellogg
was standing. Again the woodpecker
called, and again it was replied to.
did you do that?' / asked in amaze
ment.
kellogg did not reply. He was staring
at the trees. In a little while a tiny wood
pecker tluttered on to a tree near to us, and
then on 20 Kellogg's outstretched hand. 1t
looked up into his face, opened it's little
beak and talked volubly to him, while ne
talked back. They kept up a friendly con-
versation for several minutes and then the
woodpecker flew away. / don't know what
he said 20 1t, but ii seemed to me that he
was asking about the health and prosperity
of its brothers of the woodland.
Presently we saw a black-and-golden
banana bird nuttering around a p~lantain
blossom. 1t suddenly stopped and uttered
its sweet call, Tom Paine! Tom Palmer
Kellogg instantly responded, and the bird
looked at him and flew nearer. Then, for
quite five minutes, they kept up an ami
mated, melodious conversation. At last
tho gaudy-colored bird flew away, and at
the same moment the naturalist wheeled
around and replied to the 'Coo-coo-coo-coo
of Il dove in a cottonwood tree"
When ne is asked to explain the reason
of this instructive friendship between him
self and the birds Kellogg replies:
1T is love. Anybody who goes into the
woods with the spirit Of love i'm his heart,
and without the faintest desire for destruc.
tiOn or for possession. can make friends
with the birds, if he is moderately tactful
and patient. Birds can read the heart bet
ter than men can. They know their friends
and are ready to love them.
"In all my travels l have never carried g
gun and have never found It necessary tc

carries a gun in wild parts is likely tc
make trouble for himself; the man without
firearms is practically certain to find peac,

one century outdid thirty and added first
the railroad and steamboat, and then, with

II we turn now to charity we find that
from the earliest days until almost the
present time charity had but two forms.
largess and custody. These were illumi-
mated by the devoted personal service of
good men and women, but this personal
service, like the forces of steam and cleo
tricity, though not new in the world. did
not find effective expression until our own
day. Largess slowly grew more intel
ligent and custody grew more humane,
and even curative; but these still remained
the type. The new charity in its reaction
almost goes so far as to discountenance
both. TIL reaction against aims was for a
time excessive. Charity organization So
cieties are beginning to realize this. and
are now placing more emphasis upon the
value of relief, and less upon it's dangers.
For the last two decades the protest
against mere aims, u~naccompanied by per-

protest against institutions is more recent.

"Fee-fee, so tender. F~ee-fee, 10000

1t was the call of the ground dove, and
seemed to come from a low bush a few
yards to his left. Away in the distance
he heard the answering call Of the ground
doves mate.
Peering through the bushes the traveller
saw not a bird, but a man. He was lying
on the grass in a small clearing, warbling
the ground doves call as perfectly as if
he were a ground dove himself. The an
Bwering call grew nearer and nearer, and
presently the female ground dove flew into
the clearing, perched unhesitatingly on
the mans hand and talked to him as if
he were her mate.
This man whom the birds of wood and
forest treat as one of themselves is an
American named Charles Denison Kellogg.
He was born in California, the son of A
''~forty-niner." who used to be known as
the Grand Old Man of the Mines From
infancy he was a dreamy, impractical
child, with a great love and tenderness
for all living things. In boyhood he used
to lie down in the woods and listen TO the
birds instead of going to school or playing
with other lads.
All his life he has studied the language
and habits of the dwellers in the woods
in ~preferer ce to those of his fellow men.
He could take rank as the greatest living
authority or birdlife if he chose to write
about birds instead Of living among them
and learning more about them.

that extends from the shore masonry
to the top OF the Manhattan tower.
The man did not hesitate, and never
for an instant seemed to appreciate the
danger of immediate death. Without
a backward glance he climbed up and
up. now almost breaking into a run, and
again slowing up q little. He did net
stop until he reached the point nearest
the big tower, beyond which no one
could go. Then he rested a hundred
and thirty feet above the surface of
the bridge roadway. Meanwhile a
crowd of several thousand persons had
gathered to watch the daring feat and
traffic was blocked.
Policeman Goes After Him..
A policeman was sem up to bring
the performer Town. He did not travel
so rapidly, but finally he gained the
tower, where the man was standing
looking about him. The watchers tie
low expected to see a desperate fight
on top of the tower, but in this they
were disappointed, for in a moment
