is the quezal, or sun bird. hardly ever
seen outside of a very few high for
ests in high mountains of Central
America.
The quezal is 50 rare because, as the
national bird of the country, it is pro-
tected from hunters by the spirit of
the people; and besides this, it is ex-
tremely hard to catch or kill.
Living specimens hardly ever reach
the coast, for the quezal bears cap
tivity so i'll that the Guatemaans have
a legend, which they believe to this
day, that the quezals heart breaks in
a cage.
Of all the birds of the Americas, it
is the most gorgeous. No more splen-
did sight is to be seen in all the world
than quezal, flying like a darting
fame through the sombre depths of a

Editor News and Citizen:
Being In your beautiful village of

much pleased with evidences of thrift
and Improvement; but there is one
beautiful spot that has not seemed to
share in the improvements noticeable
elsewhere, which is really the "Lion"
OF the place. OF course there may be
some reason not known to the writer
wly this is but it seems to an out
slider, who is interested in having all
our Vermont towns show to the best
possible advantage, that it should be
overcome if possible and all unite in
making 1t easy for tourists and travel
lers to see your beautiful Falls. |
know you or many of your people at
least, know what you have. They
are too good to fence in and force
people to seem to be trespassing In
order to see the grandest and most
beautiful part of them. 1t would be
good work for Village Improvement
Society, and is of sufficient impor-
tance to warrant the organization of
such society, if there is not one al
ready in your village.
Yours for improvements,
