Birds, Which Foil Efforts
to Catch Them.

officials will be glad to hear from O
For they, the head gardener, the
chief park keeper and the various as
sistants Of Dane park, have been or
dered by the town council to catch
peacocks.
The situation is a trying me-. For
years Dane park has had it's peacocks.
They have strutted about proudly and
spread their tails with glorious van
ity. and Margate has been almost as
proud of them as they have been of
themselves.
But recently a number Of people
living near the park have taken a dis
like to peacocks. The %peacocks, they
say. have made night hideous and ear
ly morning impossible by their cries.
The neighboring residents could nei-
ther 60 to sleep nor keep asleep.
So they wrote to the papers and
sent a petition to the town council
complaining about the %peacocks. The
matter came before the parks com
mittee and then before the whole coun-
Gil, and the result is that the peacocks
have got to go.
That. at any rate, IS the decree Of
the council. But the birds have their
views. They strongly object to their
proposed ejeCtment.
Two Of them, it Is true, did unwarily
allow three of the park officials to sur
prise them and capture them in a lawn
tennis net very early the other morn
ing, but the remaining four peacocks
and three peahens have SO far sue

us.

Strangely enough, they have ceased to
