after the Indians meal was completed their
worst fears were intensified by the appear

their end had come, but the Indians only
sat down and went to work on some strips
of ash wood, splitting and bending and
forming them into baskets. After while
they threw down their basket work and
formed In a circle about the fire and their
white visitors. Then the two felt that the
ceremony OF death was about to begin. At
sound from the chief the Indians all be-
gan to sing in their own language and the
tune they sang was one well known to the
two Scotchmen, one they had always sung
to the words:
How pleased and blest was
To hear the people cry,

They sat astonished as the song went on
and when that was over the Indians sang
another:

Suddenly the fears of the two were gone
They realized that they had come among
Gods children, Indians though they were,
and with more fervency perhaps than they

Government Aid.

The national committee receives no great
er encouragement from any quarter than
that which comes from the United States
government. The following letter, dated
Washington, d. c., July IS 1904, and duly
received by the committee shows how far
reaching the assistance of a single depart
ment of the government may be:
Gentlemen: In reply TO your letter OF
July 20, | have to state that the department
post offfce) has no objection to postmasters
posting a warning notice against the killing
of birds and game in violation OF the state
laws, and in violation Of the federal laws
governing such matters.
You are at liberty to forward copy of
this communication TO any postmaster to
whom you send the warning notice for post
ing in his office. Very respectfully,
RI ]. WYNNE,
Acting Postmaster-General.'
The Department of the Interior. the De-
partment Of Agriculture, the Departments OF
Commerce and Labor, the Navy Depart
ment and others have been equally appre-
ciatiye and cOnSiderate. A single executive
order signed by President Roosevelt, re-
fleets the attitude of the government to-
ward the work of the Audubon Society.
This order was issued largely on the
strength of a report made to the national
committee by Mr. Frank NJ. Miller, presi-
dent of the Louisiana Audubon Society, who
had been cruising among the Islands in the
Gulf of Mexico east of the state coast line.
He found that hundreds of thousands of
the eggs of royal and least terms, laughing
guIls and black swimmers. were being col
lected and used by glue manufacturers.
Roosevelt's Helping Hand.
With his usual promptness, President
Roosevelt at once set aside seven of these
islands for the use of the Department of
Agriculture, as a preserve and breeding
ground for native birds" By this timely
act President Roosevelt earned the graft
tude of every bird-lover in this country, and
with a single stroke of his pen he not only
actually saved the lives of thousands of sea
birds, but set an example which future
Presidents will be expected to live up to.
The national committee has just been in
corporated under the title of The National
Association of Audubon Societies of Amer
lea, and is now in a legal position to receive
requests from those to whom the great
movement appeals. Already one generous
and modest lover of animals has added
codicil to his will devising to the national
committee the substantial sum of 100000,
which, upon its receipt, is to be securely in
vested, and the interest only to be used.
But there is so much work yet to be done
that even this generous sum will go but
short way toward the accomplishment of IL,
and 1t is hoped that other wealthy bird
lovers will see their way to helping the
cause along. The work of the national as
ISOLATION should now appeal to more people
than ever before. since ii embraces the pro-
lection of desirable wild animals as well as
birds. Mr.. William butcher is still the
chairman, and his address, as before, is SIS
