INTERESTING PROGRAM
AT THE COURT THEATRE.

From start to finish the bill which
was presented at the Court Theatre
yesterday afternoon was a splendid
one. The leading number was Burke,
Carter and company and the Inky Boys
in an exceedingly bright comedy
sketch.
Dow ard Dow. a team OF clever
Hebrew comedians, were very popular.
and their original p~arodies on we'll
known songs scored a big hit.
Josie Flynn, a inging conaedienne,
was well received, as were the Tiller
Sisters. Other interesting numbers were
q musical act by the Musical Loew and
La Maise-Quail and Tom-comedy

Logssrhesd Shriks,
or Butcher Bird"

The bird whose photo heads this ar
ilcle is something Of an anomaly. The
shrike belongs 10 the family OF sing
ing birds, and yet he IL more blood
thirsty than any OF our true birds OF
prey. To watch this handsome gray
and black fellow as he sits quietly
upon some fencepost or other point OF
vantage no one would ever suspect
TINT he was patiently waiting to
pounce upon some smaller bird, Sud
denly he launches into weak, soft
song which is quite pleasing.
This bird lives exclusively upon in
sects, birds and the smaller quadru-
peds. The name butcher bird"
which is commonly used for this
ehrike, Is extremely appropriate, for he
has curious habit Of impaling his
prey upon thorns and along barbed
wire fences. | have seen whole rows
OF huge grasshoppers hanging In rows
on such fences This shrike, the log
gerhead, is found over wide range In
the southern part OF the United States,
while In the north he Is replaced by the
great northern shrike,
Although this bird sings and resem-
bles a number OF our innocent birds.
he does not fool the smaller feathered
folk. They have all learned from sad
experience what to expect from this
enemy, and they no sooner sight him
than they hurry to the underbrush
with hurried calls OF alarm,
The butcher bird" is rather small
rascal to have such bloody record,
being only about eight and a half
inches In length. The upper surfaces
are generally clear slate color; be-
low, white, with slight wash Of ash.
There is a spot of white on each black
wing and some on the back tail
