just entered the park when my attention

passenger pigeon, a bird of which | had not

Then instantly l began to doubt and thought
that my eyes must be mistaken and that the at

was before me was really mourning dove. [

sibility of deception Before a beautiful
specimen of the male passenger pigeon with the
sun striking full the FURNISHED feathers Of
his throat. l stood within Is yards of the bird
for fully half hour and then it left the maple
and went in arrowy flight down the lake shore
drive toward the heart of the city. l have often
wondered since what was it's fate.

a boy and in his trips afed he always has kept
a watchful eye open for a possible sight Of
specimen of the species feared to be extinct.
When Mr. Roosevelt president of the
United States he occasionally went to wild
spot in Virginia where he owned cabin. He
called the place Pine Knot. While there day

who many pigeons this together to
shoot of them-one Only-in order to prove
beyond peradventure that the tribe still has

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. If he had he
probably would have shot of them. He told
no one except few scientists and few friends
of his discovery. He knew as we'll as anyone
else did that in the absence Of the proof fur

that he made the common error. No
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
years ago
John Burroughs heard from his friend, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, that the nine pigeons had been
seen in Virginia. Burroughs believed the story
because he knew how accurate an observer OF
nature his friend the president was and is The
stories of the pigeons in Virginia led Mr. Bur

The account of the great pigeon focks wnlch
is most familiar to the people OF the county 10
that written by John James Auduooh' inc no'u
list It seems from Mr. Wrights paper however
that a. century and half before Auoupon was
horn records were made of the immense numbers
of the birds which were seen in America Inc
earliest writer's called them turtle ooVes' WI
Wright quotes from the Jesuit father' Le 'euie
who in the year 1887 likened the American lnof
ans to the pigeons "Our savages are always say
age; they resemble the migratory birds OF tnelf
own country In one season turtle doves are some
times found in such abundance that the emu OIL
their army cannot be seen when they are ny1ng
in a 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 was made at Cayuga lake in New YORK
state. -Four leagues from here saw by the side
of a river within 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 or
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 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 instance
has proof been adduced that the real passenger
pigeon the bird of the old time, the species
seen. The disappearance of the focks which once
covered the sky as with a cloud is one of the mys-
teries OF nature. Mans persecution of course had
much, if not everything, to do with the annhila-
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.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T Is just year ago that my sis.
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as IL she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try 1t, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used It, My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing. she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already sec better,
and in six weeks she was cured"
