The account of the great pigeon hocks which
is most familiar to the people OF the country Is
that written by John James Audubon, the naturaf
list 1t seems from Mr.. Wrights paper, however
that a century and half before AUDUBON was
born records made of the immense numbers
of the birds which seen in America. Inc
earliest writers called them turtle doves MT.
Wright quotes from the jesuit father lie Jeune'
who in the year 1887 lkened the American lndi-
ans to the pigeons. Our savages are always saw

own country. In turtle doves are some.

their army cannot be seen when they are hyihs

Mr. Wright found another reference to the I'M
sense numbers of the pigeons in the writings OF
another Jesuit father in the year 1871 The oo-
servation was made at Cayuga lake in New YORK
state. -Four leagues from here l saw by the side
of a river within a very limited space eight or
nine extremely fine salt springs. Many snares are
set there for catching pigeons, from seven to eight
hundred being often taken at once" Another IA
ther OF the church in the latter part of the seven
teenth century writes of the passenger pigeons OF
the st. Lawrence country: Among the birds OF
every variety to be found here 1t is to be noted
that pigeons abound in such numbers that this
year one man killed 1872 at single shot"
Within the last five or six years reports have
come of the temperance of the pigeon In Mis-
souri, Oklahoma, Illinois. Wisconsin, Michigan.

perhaps from other states In no instance
has proof been adduced that the real passenger
pigeon, the bird of the old time. was the species

covered the sky with cloud is one of the mys-
teries of nature. Mans persecution of course had
much If not everything, to do with the anniha-

poa Dies From Grief

A dogs striking attachment to his
master is recorded from Villeneuve-
Saint-Georges. While attending the
funeral of municipal councillors
wife C. Constantin, a resident of that
village, contracted congestion of the
lungs, from which he died suddenly.
He had a dog, small fox terrier,
which never left him. Since the death
of NJ Constantin the poor animal re-
fused food and passed whole days at
his dead master. The other day the
terrier was found dead-le Figaro.

dropped down into the pleasure ground from

just entered the park when my attention was
attracted to large bird perched on the limb of
a maple tree and facing the sum- which was Just
rising out of Lake Michigan. My heart gave
sort of leap for recognized 1t instantly as the

tribe Mr. Roosevelt knew the bird when he was
boy and in his trips afeld he always has kept
watchful eye open for possible sight OF

When Mr.. Roosevelt president of the
United States he occasionally went to a wild
spot in Virginia where he owned cabin. He
called the place Pine Knot While there day
he saw what he believed to be nine wild pigeons.
1t would be perfectly proper today for man
who saw as many pigeons as this together to
shoot of them-one only-n order to prove
beyond peradventure that the tribe still has ex-
istence. When simply reports the appear

doubts very naturally the truth of the tale,
holding that the mourning dove has been again
mistaken for Its cousin bird.
President Roosevelt did not have gun with
him the occasion of his meeting with what
he thought wild pigeons. If he had he
probably would have shot one of them. He told
except a few scientists and few friends
Of his discovery. He knew as well as anyone
else did that in the absence of the proof fur
nished by bird in the flesh 1t would be said at
once that he made the common error. No one
knows positively today whether the nine birds
which the president were were not pas
senger pigeons. Every time that Mr. Roosevelt
has been to Pine Knot since he has hoped for
another sight OF the birds which made him glad
years ago.
John Burroughs heard from his friend. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, that the nine pigeons had been
in Virginia. Burroughs believed the story
because he knew how accurate observer of
nature his friend the president and is. The
stories Of the pigeons in Virginia led Mr.. Bur.

King George, with bis consort, on

The presentation of the king to the
people for recognition, a survival CT
the ancient Teutonic usage of popular
election, will be performed by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. Then his
majesty will proceed to the four cor.
ners of the abbey, receiving the &C.
carnations of the congregation.
Next will come the litany, sung by
two bishops, after which the arch
bishop will begin the communion SER

VII Look to Federal Government
For Reparation, II is Said
The Mexican government, according
to the view at the state department
at Washington, will be held accounta-
BILE for the loss of life and injury to
Americans of Douglas, Ariz, during
the fighting between federals and in
surrectos at Aqua Prieta.
No matter whether the fire of the
federals or that of the insurrectos in
f1icted the injury it will be the federal
government to which the United Staes
will look for reparation.
AS soon as official reports upon the
fighting and the casualties sustained
by Americans shall have been receiv-
ed, representations will be made to
the Mexican government, it is said,
and in due course the claims of those
injured will be presented. 1t is point
ed out, however, that in some cases
Mexico will have counter claim of
contributory negligence on the part of
injured Americans.
That there will be some justice in
such a contention is argued from the
fact that Americans took their stand
in such close proximity to the fighting
as to place their lives in jeopardy. On
the other hand, many of the wounded
sustained their hurts while in pursuit
of their usual business in the streets
or buildings of Douglas.
AS renewal of fighting at Aqua
Pieta is looked for, it is expected that
formal notice will be served upon both
federals and insurrectos that Ameri-
can lives and American property on
this side of the border must not be en-
dangered.
