dropped down into the pleasure ground from
their night flight in order to rest and feed. | had
just entered the park when my attention was
attracted to a large bird perched on the limb of
maple tree and facing the sun, which was just
rising out of Lake Michigan My heart gave
sort of leap, for recognized 1t instantly as the
passenger pigeon a bird of which ! had not

Then instantly began to doubt and thought

wondered since what was It's fate.
Theodore Roosevelt is deeply interested in
the outcome of the search for surviving mem
bers II such there may be, of the passenger pigeon
tribe. Mr.. Roosevelt knew the bird when he was
a boy and in his trips afeld he always has kept
a watchful eye open for possible sight OF
specimen OF the species now feared to be extinct
When Mr.. Roosevelt was president of the
United States he occasionally went to a wild
spot in Virginia where he owned a. cabin He
called the place Pine Knot While there one 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 one Of them--one only--in order to prove
beyond peradventure that the tribe still has ex-
istence. When one simply reports the appear
ance of pigeon or of flock of pigeons every
one 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 on the occasion of his meeting with what
he thought were wild pigeons. II he had he
probably would have shot one of them He told
no one except a few scientists and a 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 It would be said at
once that he made the common error No one
knows positively today whether the nine birds

most incredible that bird species Whlch mum
bered its individuals almost, 1t would appear oy
the million millions could ever disappear from 'hs
face Of the earth
The account of the great pigeon focks which
is most familiar to the people of the country is
that written by John james Audubon, the hatutaf
list 1t seems from Mr. Wright's paper, however
that a century and half before AUDUBON was
born records were made OF the immense numbers
of the birds which were in America Inc
earliest writer's called them turtle doves. MI
Wright quotes from the Jesuit father. LIE Jeune,
who In the year 1887 ikened the American lndl-
ans to the pigeons. Our savages are always saw
age; they resemble the migratory birds OF their
own country. In one season turtle doves are some
times found in such abundance that the end OF
their army cannot be when they are hying
In body"
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 OBJ
servation made at Cayuga lake in New YORK
state -Four leagues from here saw by the side
of 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
Their 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 it is to be noted
that pigeons abound in such numbers that this
year one man killed 1872 at a single shot"
Within the last five six years reports have
come of the temperance of the pigeon in Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Ohio Pennsylvania, New York and Virginia and
perhaps from some other states. In no instance
has proof been adduced that the real passenger
pigeon, the bird of the old time, was the species
seen. The disappearance of the focks which once
covered the sky as with cloud is one of the mys-
teries of nature Mans persecution of course had
much, II not everything, to do with the annihila-
ton of the species, but it would seem that some
ting else, disease perhaps, must be held account
able at least in part for the dying out of noble
race Of feathered game.

sruin Eats Ten Pounds Of Dried Ap
pies and Then Visits the
Lake

Residents of Butte, Mont, and vi.
cinity, when DESTROYS to hunt ducks
and geese, are wont to camp in the
Red Rock Lake district. Two men OF
Butte, on such an expedition, were so
tired on arriving at their destination
that they pitched their tents. piled
their provisions without even stopping
to put them under cover, and turned
in for the night. One of the men.
Pitcher by name. slept alone in the
tent nearest the provisions.
A few hours later he was awakened
by sound near by, curious rasping
and grating sound Pitcher raised his
head from the blankets and looked out
through the opening in the tent
Clearly outlined against the low hang.
ing moon he saw a huge black bear
busily engaged In sampling the pro
visions. AS the firearms we're in the
other tent, there was nothing to do
but to wait for Sle bear to leave. In
deed, Pitcher was none too anxious to
attract bruins attention. and he lay
very still, holding his breath, till the
beast. with a satisfied grunt, finally
ambled off in the direction of the lake.
Early the next morning-before
dawn, in fact-Pitcher took his gun
and started on the trail Of the bear.
AS he neared the lake he saw just be-
fore him dark object which, in the
dim light, seemed to move. Cautious
ly the hunter sank to his knees to
get better sight on the strange OBJ
ject A moan of anguish was waited
to the ears of the man, and there fol.
lowed moment of painful suspense.
Then ray OF light revealed an ami
NAL lying upon its back its feet in the
air, wriggling like the feelers of bug
that has been upset
1t was the bear-the big, black bear
in great distress. 1t writhed in
agony when 1t caught sight of its pur-
suer, and its struggles we're pitiful to
behold. Pitcher dispatched the crea-
ture with bullet. The report awak.
ened his companion, and before the
smoke had cleared away he, too, was
on the scene.
Upon inspection of the provisions II
was found that they had been att sk..
ed by the bear during the night; that
the big beast had eaten a ten-pound
package of dried apples. 1t further
developed that the bear had gone to
the edge OF the lake and drunk plenti-
fully of the waters thereof. How
much he drank was. of course, never
known, but 1t was enough to agitats
the apples.
