waging a campaign of destruc-

During this cold weather when
thousands of children are feeding
the birds to keep them from freez-

Is peculiar. While advising the
farmers of the country to kill
off the sparrows, the government
officials nevertheless pay tribute
to the sparrow's pugilistic habits.

bird has hardness, extraordinary
fecundity, diversity of food, ag-

from natural enemes through its
sagacity." And then, having ac-
cused the sparrow of all these
things. the bulletin goes on to say
that the nests of sparrows should
be destroyed every spring.
Sparrows Will nest in anything
convenient, even a tin can hung
on the limb of tree. Farmers
are advised to build a lot Of boxes
and hang them in trees and to
roofs. When the sparrows nest,
the nest and eggs can be de-

sparrows is to arrange food for
them for a few days, and then
when they gather where food is
spread, to shoot them with a
charge of No. 10 shot.
The best time for trapping is
just after a snowstorm, when the
birds have been fasting" says the
government bulletin.
Sparrows are also suggested as
food. Their meat is nutritious,
and they are frequently served in
big restaurants under the name of
reedbirds. Their flesh is palat-
able.
Where the use of poison Is not
prohibited by law, strychnine sui
plate is the most satisfactory to
use. One-third ounce of it mixed
with a quart of wheat is enough
to poison 20 sparrows If distribute

Whether or not the govern
ment's plan to kill off the SPAR
rows will succeed in the cities is
problematical.
People In the cities are usually
not annoyed hy the little fell
lows. They show sympathy for
them in cold weather and the
food that is spread out for the
sparrows is not poisoned. Children
in schools all over the country are
being taught to be kind to the
birds. In nearly every city there
are organized efforts to keep the
sparrows and other birds from
starving to death.

unavailing woe-until she peeped
from behind the door and said:
81 can sell the absurd things,
even If you don't know what they
are. They obstruct the circula-
ton, anyhow"
Theodore tore up his apologize
and they went after berries.
No wonder that it took much
coffee to clear his eyes before TT :
voyage for magnolia blooms. He
had walked the hall in his stock
ing feet for hours; kissed Virgin
lass door once or twice; and hur-
ried to bed where he enacted
enough two-character vaudeville
sketches to have filled all the cir
cults in the world. In all these
the avuncular relation was ex-
planned away, in eloquence which
brought tears to the eyes of Uncle
Theodore, the one dispassionate
auditor. 81 have deceived you,"
the man-actor would say. But if
ever man had highest claims for
pardon, / am he! I loved you so,
Virginia, l could not send you

for deceit?" Sometimes the wom-
an-character scorned him, and he
died of broken heart; while, Oft
ener, she whispered that she must
punish him, every day of their
|lives-by staying with him. Then
he died of joy. So there was a
new leading man at every per-
Torrance, but he was always The
odore Carson; and Uncle Theodore
always shed copious tears on the
pillow.
At a ferry en- route Virginia
kissed a little girl and called her

dore got out would not go back
into the nest, but fluttered away,
crying pitifully. They got some
magnolia buds which. the ere
ole" negro girl said would surely
open, aiding that "all the young
couples came for them on Sum
days" Virginia encountered a
"spreadin' adder" ten inches long,
and ran to Theodore, gathering
her skirts about her plump calves
in terror; and he Gained and
comforted her on high and IA
therly level.
That was the maddening thing.
Everything was maddening; but
crisis and explosion lay In the fact
that, while keeping her within
reach, he had palsied the arm to
reach her withal; that he could
drop no hint of those nightly vi
sions; that, while their relation
allowed affection, they shut out
love. This life gave to him reve-
lations mostly hidden from lovers,
and vouchsafed to fathers, broth
ers and husbands only; but he was
lcut off from the endearments of
an uncle, even. He was tiger
cub licking his masters hand. and
feeling the jungle hunger for 1t.
All that day the cub had been on
the very verge of devouring some
body. 1t was appalling. All un-
conscious of her parlous state.
Virginia took his arm under the

what delightful day she had had,
and squeezed his arm while she
said 1t.
