BIRD NOW ALMOST EXTINCT
Wild Pigeon, Once Counted In Mil
rons, So Rare as to Be Account.
ed Curiosity.

The great reduction of bird life IN
America is illustrated by a story
from Montreal of the capture Of a
bird now rare which formerly was
seen by the million. This unusual
onithological specimen was sent,
carefully packed in a pasteboard box,
~ parcel post from Odell Town,
quebec, to the Montreal Witness.
The bird was taken to J. B. Innes,
secretary of the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals, and
also secretary Of the Quebec Fish and
Game club. He definitely identified
the bird as a wild pigeon or dove. a
species now almost extinct. Officers
connected with the society entered
the Office while Mr.. Innes was inspect
ing the bird, and they each at once
recognized it as a wild dove.
The sender of the little feathered
creature was John Hough, Of Odell
Town, Quebec. He explained his rea-
son for mailing it was to have 1t
identified. as he had heard queries
had been made regarding wild
pigeons.
The wild. or passenger. pigeon, 30
named from its habit Of passing from
one part Of the country to another,
was once a resident of southern Can
ada and the northern United States.
One naturalist computed that there
were more than a billion Of these
birds in q continuous stream which
he saw on one occasion. Incessant
slaughter and the clearing away OF
the forests destroyed the pigeons, the
disappearance Of which was fastened
by a series Of very cold winters be-
tween 1850 and 1870.

l can spend my days of 1913 bet
ter than 1912 because, first: I have
made a number of resolutions this
bright new year and l am going to
strive earnestly to carry them out.
| am going to try to do more this
year than | did last and am going to
do it better. l am going to try to
be always cheerful and merry and
so bring ray of sunshine to some
discouraged and shadowed heart.
As / am going to school now, /
will tell what l am trying to do each
day. l arise about six o'clock every
morning, help my mother prepare
breakfast, help put the house in or
der, then | prepare to go to school. l
usually sketch over my lessons every
morning to, be sure l know them.
then l start for school. l have to
leave home about eight o'clock, as l
have about one mile and half to
walk. try to be good in school and
learn all can. return home about
three o'clock in the afternoon and
spend the remainder of the day in
preparing my lessons for next day
and in various other little duties.
This is my real work, but of course
there are many other little things to
be done. and in everything, however
small. try to be good, patient and
honest, for, as we all know, it is the
trifes that make life, and as | fully
believe life is what we make it, l am
going to strive to make mine both
useful and inspiring and source Of
interest and encouragement. / am
going to make use of every present
opportunity and, forgetting the past.
look to the future for better. 1t is
true that to forge ahead it is neces-
sary to forget the unpleasant and
disagreeable things of the past, for
it is chiefly through experience and
mistakes that we learn, but l do not
think, in the possession of present
things, we should forget the count
less favors and blessings of the past.
believe most of the pleasure of
life lies in the anticipation of what is
to come and that individual success
for which we all strive. But in all
this will try not to let my desire
for success overcome my desire for
truth and justice. Some of US seem
hurled about relentlessly and unceas-
ingly, made to miss success or fame,
and even the common comforts,
throughout the greater part of our
lives. We never seem to have our
turn at success, but we may be as.
sured that our turn will inevitably
come, and that we, too, shall reap
precisely what we, as individuals
free to choose. have sown. These
defeats here and now may be our
means of overcoming our predispo-
sition to dependency, to envy, to
jealousy. We cannot be real winners
while we keep these things in our
hearts, so disperse these; then if we
fail, bear our defeats as a hero
should. without recrimination or re-
gret, but always preferring loss to,
dishonest gain.
am expecting to strive harder
this year than ever before to do
some real good, and l hope to do
noble things, not dream them all
day long, and so make life and that
vast forever one grand sweet song."
