New Magistrate-What's the next
Bird .Iekull and Hyde

The catbird is our northern mock ing bird. When love attunes it's voice, 1t can warble as sweetly as the night ingale. You must catch it in one of it's melting moods if you would know the charm of it's liquid notes. It Is not at all beautiful-no more is the mocking bird = only a gray-brown, perky, restless thing, of lesser size than the robin, with the soul of song in it.
 The wonder of the catbird lies, of course, in this, it's dual nature. At oEe time it hops about screeching com plaints against the circumambient air; at another there throbs out from its delicate throat the essence of a divine melody.-Philadelp Press.
