Nine of the new forms are from the

The new animals include oppos-

John BURROUGHS once wrote a
y book which contained chapter on
the birds of Washington. 1t was 80
years ago that this book was written.
In it he spoke about the crow black
bird, otherwise called the purple
grackles, which 'stalked"> across the
lawn of the treasury and The Mall in
front of the Agricultural building.
The crow blackbirds have just come
back to Washington from the south.
In other places this bird is prosecuted
and in most of the states he is allowed
to be shot because it Is supposed that
he is pest, but in Washington he is
protected and here he will pick up
crumbs at your feet unafraid.,

Crow Blackbirds Safe in Washington

crow blackbirds watched the amputa-
ton from a distance almost too short
to be safe had the gardener operator
seen fit to turn his instrument from
tree to bird. When the limb was
Topped and the gardener had come
down from his ladder the blackbirds
fought for place on the stump. Two
at time they gained precarious foot
hold. The birds leaned over and
drank sap, and a royal feast they had
of it. 1t isn't at all probable that null
berry tree sap is poisonous, but about
the time that several of the trees were
giving up their life blood ten of the
crow blackbirds gave up all of theirs.
The ten were found dead on the grass
of the lawn. Some soulless one who
doesn't like blackbirds doubtless had
spread a tempting but fatal poison
feast, and, tempted and feasting, the
birds paid the penalty.

Reasons Why Mexican Is at War

Had to Labor as Peon.

Cuernarvaca, Mex.-"Zapata. the
bandit" 'Zapata, the liberator"-
these are the two public estimates
placed upon the man who for more
than a year has been carrying on a
continuous warfare against the con-
stituted government In this part of
southern Mexico.
1t Is distinctly a war OF the classes.

called by his hundreds OF admiring
followers. claims to be fighting for
the freedom Of the peon element and
the small property holders, who he
declares have long suffered from tie
tyrannicai acts and policies of the
government He also has personal
grievances and wrongs which he
wants to avenge-
Zapata Is product of the Diaz
rule. He was one of the victims OF
the system that oppressed many of
the lower class all over the country
during the Diaz regime. 1t happened
in his case that there existed in him
an element of fighting power and re-
lentless cruelty which marked him for
the leadership of the people who had
suffered similar wrongs. He is now
paying the government back for the
injuries it did him.
In the days of Diaz men who did
not agree with the government were
quickly put where they could do no
harm. Zapata was arrested and SEN
fenced to a long term of exile in the
hot lands of Quintana Roo. 1t was to
that remote region that most OF the
political prisoners were sent. Few OF
them survived their terms of exile.
But Zapata had constitution OF iron.
Even in the distressing circumstances
under which he then labored he
planned the vengeance that he has
been infiicting on his oppressors for
the last twelve months. He lived
through his term of exile and returned
to his home In Ayala. The years
went by slowly and Zapata quietly
fomented spirit of retaliation
against the government among the
people OF his class. This was before
Madero started his revolution. and 1t

Hen Makes Nest in Big Office Safe

one of them snowy white. Mr.. Wrenn
had never heard of Matching eggs in
an Office safe, and he didn't know
what to do, especially as he is no
farmer. He called special meet
ing of his Office employees. and after
a lengthy debate 1t was decided that
as long as the hen had taken the ini-
tiative, the only thing to do was to
put up with and let her hatch the
eggs in the Office safe.
For three weeks the hen practically
bossed the Office, and, after deducting,
it was discovered that the eggs ought
to have been Matched on a recent Sat
urday, according to the Office al
manac.
Saturday morning Mr.. Wrenn and
the Office force came to work little
ahead of time, and the door of the safe
was thrown open, while every one ex-
pected to see Is chicks run heller

of cackles from the frightened hen,
and not a single one o. the Is
eggs had Matched. One of the
men, who was something of a farm
er, declared that the eggs would sure
ly hatch the next day, but Sunday
came, and they we're as unmatched as
china eggs. All that day there was
feeling of Misrepresentation. and Mon
day Mr.. Wrenn went to the office to
see If the expected had happened.
From the half-closed door of the
safe there issued half-hearted
"cluck," and the silver hen, followed
by two forlorn-looking chicks, hoped
out upon the floor. Mr.. Wrenn decid-
ed to throw the other 13 eggs away.
