of some tall. brittle tree, loaded beyond It's
strength, would snap suddenly of and come
tearing down, carrying with it not only its
own, mass OF living freight, but crushing to
birds in lower trees. Then, like a snrging,
billowy cloud, instinct with life, those Of the
disturbed pigeons which were unhurt would
struggle blindiy upward again trying to effect
a lodgment among their already overcrowded
kindred; and, failing in this, would at last
settle down helplessly upon the ground, none
such, so far as we could see, ever flying off
into the outer night.
For several hours, until obliged to desist
from mere yeariness, the hunters kept up a
fearful slaughter, and when they finally ceased
to kill each little party had supply Of game
sufficient to feed regiment
By ten o'clock the prosecuted birds had
somehow managed to settle down into com
paratYe quiet, and one by one, some around
the fires and others in their huta, the tired
men and boys dropped off to sleep.
In our own party we had a joviai old
Scotehman, named Elliot, but more familiariy
known as Uncle Jimmy"
This worthy soul, though a quite capable
active man, had two especial weaknesses, one
being an inordinate affection for strong waters
and the other an unreasoning fondness for pet
animals So, when we boys captured the baby
bear that afternoon, Uncle Jimmy adopted Il, ,
as matter Of course, carried II in his arms
TO the end OF our journey. and then carefully
tied It to saplng, some fifty yards from,
the spot on which we afterward made our
campfire.
Although the little animal was firmly Sc
cured with strong strap, taken from horse
halter, its anxious nurse was always, at short
intervals during the evening, going out to
make sure Of its welfare, and on these oc-
tasions would tenderly, but vainly, try to in
duce it to make supper of broied squah.
Now the honest Scot was a very light sleep
er, and some time in the night, when he walked
up, he heard his protege making very curious
kind of noise, and, without arousing any one.
he crept softly away to ascertain the cause
His Investigation was crowned by complete
success, for, on coming to the tree to which
the cub was tied, he found the little innocent
in the act of being suckled by its own mother,

it up from the place of capture

the harvest pigeons
Some of these people had brought with
them whole droves of the long-legged, slab
country, to fatten upon the spoil, Nor we're
these voracious animals the only ones to profit
ny the windfall; for, during the three days
OF our stay, 1t was no uncommon thing TO see
wolves, foxes, raccoons, lynxes, martens, minks,
Porcupines and last, but not least the pretty
looking though maladorous skunk, gliding
about among the tree trunks and feasting upon
the awkward nestlings, which were continually
tum6ling or being pushed from the overhang-
ing branches
lures kept wary lookout for their human
foes, no less than three wolves, four lynxes
and quite a number of the smaller fry were
shot by our party alone.
When we first reached the "roost," there
were only few scattering old pigeons to be
seen, but shortly before sundown an allper-
vading, steady roar and the sudden darken-
ing OF the sky apprised us that the advance
guard OF the prodgious host OF returning
pigeons was at hand, and then to our won
dering eyes, there opened scene never to be
forgotten and utterly beggaring description
Immediately following the first rush OF that
mighty, wing-crested wind, and for long after
dark, closely y.packed, unbroken fight OF birds
poured in, ahghting in great masses, often
one on top OF the other, upon every spot to
which they could cling, and producing, by
their own huttering calls and the constant
crashing of great boughs, broken down by
their weight, noise so tremendous that the

bers Of these, though great beyond all pos

The birds paid no attention whatever to the

PRIZE
FOR STUDENTS
PRESIDENT sPALpINe OF THE
SONS OF THE AMERICAN REvo-
LUTON OFFERS ONE FOR BEST
PAPER ON THE PRINCIPLES IN
voLvEp in REVOLUTION.


At a recent meeting of the Sons of
the Revolution recently organized in
this city, it was unanimously agreed
that Pres. B. F. Spalding offer medal
to the student Of the high school who
writes the best paper on the funda-
mental principles involved in the
American revolution.
From the number of papers that will
be handed in, the three judges will
select the one deemed to be the best
and the writer will be awarded the
medal.
Although this prize is generously
given personally by Judge Spalding,
the society hopes to be sufficiently or
gained by next year to offer stand
ing prize to all students in American
history in high schools throughout the
entire state.
1t is very probable that by next year
the subject and prize will be announced
early in the year, and the contest will
be between all high schools students in
North Dakota.
There are prizes now in public
speaking by the A. c. and u. N. ID.
there is also debating league and
educators Of the state viii welcome a
contest on theme writing, on subjects
within the grasp OF the high school
students.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

If the necessary appropriations were
available, / would establish postal
savings banks tomorrow in 500 addi-
States.
These are the words of Postmaster
General Hitchcock, and they tell of the
success of the postal savings bank sys-
tem-after the first month of it's ex-
istence. Evidently its success has
been large, and foreshadows a tremen-
dous future growth and expansion.
Practically all the other great ma
tions of the world have enjoyed the
benefits Of the postal savings system
for years. The bill establishing the
system in the United States was pass
ed by congress only last June-and
went into effect the first Of the pres
ent year.
Deposits are limited to the sum of
800 in each calendar month--and at
no time must the balance on hand be
more than $500.
These restrictions-and the fact that
the system is backed by the good faith
of the government-result in calling
forth money not ordinarily available
for bank deposit. Women and. chill
dren take advantage of it, and so do
foreign-born Americans-who are in
the habit of sending their savings back
home
So far the system is in effect in only
one postoffice in each of the forty
eight states-but in time it will doubt
less be extended to every money order
postoffice.
The total amount of deposits receiv-
ed at the forty eight banks during
January was $4,000, averaging abou,
$1,000 each. This is larger average
than the British system enjoyed dur
Ing its most prosperous year.
Here is demonstration a-plenty that
notwithstanding great deal of talk
about American extravagance-the
people of this country are rapidly ac-
curing the habits of thrift.
