ROBIN RED BREAST A FRAUD.
Bird Famed in Song and story De-
elared Much oVsrrated.

The hoTtlculturist put down his pa,
per and snorted in disgust when he
read an article pralslng robins. The
robin is a much overrated bird" he
said. People rail against the English
sparrow, but he doesn't begin to tor
ment the gardener as the robin does.
Did YOU ever hear OF a robin eating
insects? No. indeed, not one little
bug does he eat; but he'll pull up all
the worms in the soil and impoverish
1t, for angle worms are the natural
enrichers of the soil. His appetite Is
enormous, and it won't take him long
to clean out all the angle worms in
good plot of earth
He also feeds on berries, and I
won't forget in a hurry what he did
to me last winter. | planted lot Of
black alder trees in my grounds, an.
ticipating that by Christmas they
would be blnzing with red berries.
You know the black alder Is called the
northern holly and its berries are
vivid scarlet. Well, just as soon as

robins swoopod down and gobbled
them all up. How did they happen to
be up north? Why, robins would stay
north all winter if they could find
enough berries to eat. They don't
mind the cold weather any It's simply
matter of food that drives them to a
warmer climate. Bitter-sweet berries
are the only sort they won't eat.
They're robbers, too. They'll steal
the nests of such little birds as the
phoebe that sing sweetly. And they
haven't bit of common sense. When
they teach their young to fly they
keep up such squawking that they
attract the attention of every cat for a
quarter Of a mile. OF course, the cats
promptly gather and pounce on the
young birds. Most horticulturists will
tell you that the robin is fraud and
is no pet of gardeners. Even his name
is deception, for his much vaunted
red breast is a yellowish brown. l
welcome the sparrow around my place
much more cordially than do the fat
robin"

young gentlemen, hazing must be

Iona Sermons.

Mark Twain tells this story, the
moral Of which You may supply your
self: Il went to church one time and
was so impressed by what the preach
er told me about the poor heather
that was ready to give up hundred
dollars of my own money and even go
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up l stole ten
cents off the plate. ."-Southwestern's
