killing Of Notwithstanding birds, and
from our further neglect to intelli-

to set aside bird reservations and

"Our country" is an entity Of which

than submit to dishonor And yet

what we want In our efforts toward

Nothing on earth can smile but
man! Gems may fash reflected light,

to an eye.fash and mirth- flash?
Flowers cannot smile; this is a charm
that even they cannot claim. 1t Is
the prerogative of man; 1t is the color
which love wears. and cheerfulness
and joy-these three. 1t is a light in
the windows of the face, by which
the heart signifies It is at home and
